cranky much?

pppppssssshhhhtt....

For one... they obviously did one of two things... Either just used us to get the prize, and therefore OWE us more than a rub in the nose of the winning email.. or

Know that we have all put alot of time into this and they are just throwing that bogus email out there to bait us into some sort of vulgar reaction..

Either way.. I'm not buying it till I see the dried paint on the wall..

Until that time... All further jargon on this supposed "winning email" will be treated as nothing more than a weak attempt to get some of the limelight with SPAM...

If it's legit.. CONGRATS and YOUR WELCOME for all of us helping you...

If NOT... I say ban him and let's all move on to reality...

lol nah.. not at all..

I just think that all of us here at NEOWIN and even UNFICTION deserve to give ourselves a huge round of applause for doing 99% of the work!

Sweat equity accounts for lots in my book.. and everyone deserves better to be treated to this by a prankster...

Like I said before... If it's legit.. CONGRATULATIONS... If it's not.. it is cruel to do that to us after all that we have worked hard for.

Frankly I hope HE/SHE DID win.. It would let us all get back to life... And if not, I say we hang him, THEN shoot him, Then we kill him... "Blazing Saddles"

I'm with Swammie. If you were to spend millions of dollars on a promotion would you not want to let it run as long as possible? This is not rocket science theory, simple marketing. It's gonna go till 9:00p.m. Pacific time even if they have the correct answer. Why stop the chatter with an e-mail?

DITTO! DUDE

why do u say FULL 1500

side note, i dont care about the chip but i mentioned space and what not and if it does have something to do with space like the line anagrams suggest, which i have stated before about space coordinates all i cAn say is i told you so

and LMFAO

To be frank my final answer and I didn't change it was "Human Space Travel"

Cheers

OK I may have read this a little too much (duh), but my understanding is that the final answer everyone is annhilating their brains over is just for the AMD chip thing, right? That's all it says on lokiv page. I know part of it is the challenge, but all of this for an engraving???

"3) WINNER SELECTION:

Grand Prize: The Grand Prize Winner will be selected from all eligible entries received in a random drawing to take place on January 31, 2007 at 10:00 a.m. (ET). The Grand Prize will ..."

This isn't even for the dumb trip. }: | I wish I would have paid attention a LONG time ago. I am done.

Not if you sent the fake to yourself.. which I just did to see if it could be done. Not saying it's a fake.. not saying it's real. Just saying things are a bit fishy.

True, I'm making the assumption that Brilo isn't scamming us :p and I sincerely hope that is the case. I do think though we should try to find if there is a link between Ivy and the map. I don't know if there's a better map that anyone's made, but here's mine again if it helps: http://maps.live.com/?v=2&cid=B55D41272D2D06FF!148. Again, it's accurate to within about 3mi as far as I can tell.

tell my wife if i put it on paint, white out our stuff and then post it, you guys couldn't un-white it out...or could you?

How can a person that is this smart enough to solve the meta puzzle be so clueless with technology?

Brilo - Since you are the winner. Can you explain to us how you came up with Ivy on Sunday, a whole day before we even figured out the location of Hardee, MS?

Thanks in advance.

Ok, everything aside... what is that thing on the side of the road by the hardee designator? It's pretty large but I can't tell what it is. If that's not the answer, than grats to whoever has ivy or whatever. I just want to know what that pyrmaid shaped thing is. It's been driving me nuts all dern day!

I completely agree....I mean come on your first post is "Oh and my wife typed in the answer and then we got this email with typo's that said she won."

One thing is for sure....if I win the prize then I will choose 'Brilo can't type' as the message on the chip. :D

why we are looking at the map when on the website says that number 2 is 5874.61 miles not 14893.66 miles the way that it looks in the map. My quetion here is who posted that in MSN maps live so we can follow does tracks. if they answer why we still putting our answers on the website. they should close it stating they have a winner.

And one last thing about the Brilo win. If you won on Sunday, why are you wasting your time on Tuesday trolling the message boards of people trying to solve the puzzle, if you already answer the riddle, submitted it and got an email from a lawyer saying you won? Seems like a big waste of time for someone who already solved the puzzle to be doing.

I'm with you. Not buying it. Could be wrong...but I've got a feeling. Makes no sense to go with one name from the 4 final puzzles, leaving out Odessa and the others. Also If the win was notified Sunday...why the added clues yesterday?

Obviously some people can't read. She got the email this afternoon. I had just joined to be able to make a point about Ivy, sure it was a simple one, but all of it couldn't just be coincidence. (gotta say I like the countdown of vowels) While I was doing this she got the email and told me. I didn't buy it right off so we posted it to get other opinions and see if others had gotten emails. (also she did't put just Ivy, it was the whole list) Anyways, it's been fun, I'm off to bed...with my lucky wife :p

On my map #2 is the actual trail which gives the total distance (14893.66mi). It's the way live maps works - the trail itself has to be one of the numbers. Anyway, #3-10 on my map correspond to #2-9 on the list of distances. Sorry for the confusion.

    • Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe During Summer Game Fest, 2K and Hanger 13 brought out a new Mafia: The Old Country trailer, revealing the game's first expansion. Named Man of Honor, this is slated to add two new chapters to the Enzo storyline that the game follows. There is an iconic character returning to the series with this expansion, with players set to run into Ennio Salieri, the future Don of the Salieri crime family. Fans of the original Mafia, or its Definitive Edition remake, may remember that name as one of the biggest characters in the storyline. This expansion is set prior to his rise to being the kingpin in the City of Lost Heaven. "Set in Sicily during the winter of 1905, Enzo Favara has proven himself a reliable soldier of the Torrisi crime family in the months since his initiation," says the studio about the new chapters. "Now, the Don entrusts him and Cesare with a delicate assignment of assisting Ennio Salieri, a man of honor recently released from prison and intent on reclaiming what is his." Working at Salieri's side, players will be heading into fresh environments as they return to the role of Enzo as a high-ranking soldato. The studio also promises brand-new weapons, fresh vehicles, and charms to collect in this expansion. Moreover, the expansion will add new content to the updated Free Ride mode. Alongside new collectibles and locations, this will add more challenges to beat alongside Salieri, which are described as runs that will "test the skills of even the most elite mafiosi." The Mafia: The Old Country Man of Honor story expansion will release on August 14, 2026, across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. It will cost $10 for owners of the base game to jump into.

    • Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Telltale Games, the studio known for its episodic games from the 2000s, had a surprise appearance at the Summer Game Fest showcase today. The studio has gone through a collapse, an acquisition, and a revival but has largely gone silent in recent years. Today's sudden announcement was for the popular The Wolf Among Us series, with news about the sequel and a remaster dropping. Set after the events of the 2013-released title, the sequel will bring back Biby Wolf for a new adventure in Fabletown. This town of fairy tale characters is becoming unstable, with Snow White not being able to keep order as before. "When a brutal series of crimes threatens to fracture the fragile balance holding Fabletown together, Bigby Wolf, sheriff of Fabletown, finds himself drawn into a dangerous conspiracy that reaches deep into the city’s criminal underworld," says the studio. "As suspicion spreads across the city and powerful forces work against him, Bigby must uncover the truth and decide what kind of sheriff - and what kind of wolf - he is willing to become." At the same time, Telltale also announced The Wolf Among Us Remastered, bringing back the classic with a fresh coat of paint. This will include all five episodes from the original game plus over an hour of extra content that will offer behind-the-scenes videos, cast interviews, image galleries, and deleted scenes. The remaster will also have updated visuals and improved UI elements and accessibility features, alongside upgrades to the animations, audio, and frame rates. Telltale has been working on this project for almost a decade now, but if the new release schedule holds, fans will be able to jump into The Wolf Among Us 2 sometime in 2027. As for The Wolf Among Us Remastered, this is slated to release during this holiday season.

    • Alien Isolation 2 will bring a new protagonist and setting, watch the reveal trailer here by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Only a few weeks ago, Sega and Creative Assembly dropped a teaser for a new Alien Isolation. Today at Summer Game Fest, Alien: Isolation 2 was officially announced with a new trailer while also confirming a whole lot of information about the setting of this survival horror project. Check out the reveal trailer above. Leaving behind the Sevastopol space station, the sequel will take players to a remote colony world. With a Xenomorph (or more) on the loose, players will be navigating both the surface of the weather-ravaged planet as well as "the claustrophobic confines of the Weyland-Yutani outpost of Kurosaki Station." Interestingly, Creative Assembly is leaving behind Amanda Ripley, the daughter of Alien's Ellen Ripley, as the protagonist too. While it hasn't confirmed a name yet, players will be taking the role of a new character for this new adventure. The setting is also being described as a new hunting ground for the Alien. This will have players improvising and developing new tools to aid in their survival and escape, all to avoid "cinema’s deadliest killer." "It has been over a decade since we created the original Alien: Isolation and I am so excited to show everyone the first glimpse of the sequel," says Al Hope, Creative Director at Creative Assembly. "Our dedicated Survival team at Creative Assembly has been working hard to create a new, evolved Isolation experience continuing the legacy of the Alien franchise, making the eponymous killer smarter, the environment harsher and the chance of survival slimmer." Promising the same deadly tension from the original from over a decade ago, Alien: Isolation 2 is in development for PC, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PlayStation 5. A release date has not been announced yet.
