did you see they are talking about including all "strategy gaming," not just WotC stuff?  Interesting...

Seems that way.

Neat sight, though. Really. ::nods::

The promotion for this was very cool. You guys missed most of it. I considered posting about it.

OK, so certain of us get this mysterious foam brain with an encrypted message on it.

It says something like

MOCTSD
RAZIWT
AXAME
ELG

So you figure that part out. And you send in an email to the right place.
The alien brain sends back a long quiz. The quiz is multiple choice, but it has alphabetic answers that leed you to gleemax.com

Now there's a photo contest/scavenger hunt thingy using Flickr.

I'm over there, anyhow.

I'm confused.  There doesn't actualyl seem to be anything there, or anyway to sign up for this service, yet there's apparently people who have joined it, and have managed to earn scores.

Yeah, I was thinking toothpaste or Greedo's slow witted cousin (who apparently will be appearing in the super special blu-ray edition of Star Wars: A New Hope).

I swear, it seems like more and more companies are using that random brand generator the pharmaceutical industry uses these days.

As I said in the other thread:

I must be getting old because I don't get it.

I didn't get Magic, so obviously I don't get people talking about Magic...
