That's why there's another several hundred keys available through other means. Don't bite the hand that feeds you.

But the tech geniuses have no shot at challenges like "post of photo of you and a girl under a traffic light" from the scavenger hunt. Overall it balances out.

Yeah, answer was so simple the winner had to use a Unix based program to manually change at what point he is accessing data to solve the riddle that will allow him to play a game that wont even run on Mac.

That's pedestrian shit to RICH.



Haha, clearly.

I just feel bad for the hundreds of guys that were probably doing things like scrolling and reposting to get the number down.

I was able to get mine down to 42 properly, by the time I readjusted it, I was too late.


As soon as I read Hammy's post I immediately started looking for free programs to do what was necessary to win the contest.

Not easy finding something to do that on win7 64 bit surprisingly.

WTF IS a source port. and netcat? And how was all of this simple??

Because you know, not every one who plays starcraft is a super IT tech nerd.


Gay contest.


P.S I know I'm not the only one who just found out that they didnt even have a chance at this beta key challenge.




At least you got a chance to win a key. Just cuz you didn't know what was going on doesn't mean that no one had a chance.

You definately just thought you did. Im not an IT-guy, but I can say that in utorrent you only change the port utorrent uses.
