Event 1.png

The time has come at long last, the Tempmas Season begins today! Father Tempmas has many gifts for Tempers young and old, provided they're willing to answer his riddles and complete his competitions! We're starting off with a good warm-up - a gaming quiz to test your gaming knowledge! See? All that trivia you've memorised over the years finally comes in handy! Today's prizes include digital credit or Amazon gift cards ($10, $15 and $25) for three randomly-drawn lucky Tempers who submit the correct answers by December 15th 9PM GMT!

Listen now, and listen well! Participating in subsequent events will award you points, and points are pretty important - the more points you collect throughout the season the higher your likelyhood of winning the grand finale - a raffle with awesome prizes, including a game of your choice, digital credit for your console of preference and a brand-spanking new Nintendo Switch Lite! Answering all of today's quiz questions correctly nets the participants 1 point towards their tally! Patreon members are automatically entered into the final draw with 1 point and we encourage everyone to participate in all events to increase their chances! If you happen to win an event, fret not! You're not disqualified from the grand finale - every participant can win one small prize and still take part in the final draw!

    When I worked for Dell we had access to data about military contracts and addresses for high ranking people.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I personally handled a call from the second highest person at Raytheon. That call bothered me a lot... The guy was nice and smart what bothered me was the way management basically just blew him off instead of going the extra mile to help him.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    In the end that call ended up costing Dell millions in lost contracts with Raytheon, and really the issue could have been solved for like 450 bucks lol

    sometimes I wonder why anyone would ever buy mega man x legacy collection 2
  • NinStar @ NinStar:
    I always thought that capcom shuffled the games in these collection, but apparently they are all in chronological order, which makes legacy collection 2 worthless
