*Just a note: I'm sorry the Daily Visit score isn't more 'every day' instead of its current 'every 24h1m', but that is just the front end tracking for you guys and when we run the lotto we pull from a more accurate list. So for those of you visiting every day diligently but not triggering the Daily Visit score reward, don't stress about it!

January winners? Coming Soon...
Game Rant sits down with No More Heroes creator and Grasshopper founder Suda51.
Workers at Sega of America, a division of Sega Sammy Holdings Inc., have became the first employees at a major North American video-game company to ratify a union contract, a move that may accelerate a burgeoning labor movement in an industry known for widespread instability among its work force.
The contract, ratified Tuesday, covers around 150 people across marketing and other departments at the division’s offices in Southern California. Workers will receive minimum yearly pay increases of 4% in 2024, 3% in 2025 and 2.5% in 2026 as well as a number of other benefits, Catalina Brennan-Gatica, a representative for the Communications Workers of America, said in an interview.

Worst thing that will happen is it will have a lower stock price and ceos won't get extra millions they don't really need. Other than that the company will continue on and ppl will be treated better.
The co-founders of Kaidro are very excited about their upcoming tie-in video game, and so should you.
I'm so going to win the $300 Amazon card.
*crosses fingers*
I'm really hoping I won something in January. The amount of money I have to spend in February is crazy!
Well my chances of winning anything in January disappeared when my power was out for a few days... Maybe February...
Damn, I had a great idea for a blog, too. Guess I'll do that in march, then.
When I won the forum lottery it was a twenty dollar psn/xbl card.
