The "Freeola Customer Forum" forum, which includes Retro Game Reviews, has been archived and is now read-only. You cannot post here or create a new thread or review on this forum.
At 4:30pm every Thursday, we will be awarding a Gaming Award for a technical post - giving you another chance to win a free game (or a £30 Amazon voucher) each week!
Simply write up a (fairly) comprehensive guide or tutorial about how to do something technical and you will be in with a chance of winning. You can enter your submission at any time to be in with a chance of winning (not just on Thursdays).
If you submit after the deadline, then your submission will be considered in next weeks' competition.
If there are no submissions made, then the award will be donated to charity --
Have a look at the previous (technical post) submissions to get an idea of what we're looking for.
Remember, you can win any game of your choice each week - submitting a technical post is one of the many ways to do so.

I dont have a problem, why would I? If I think the entries are poor and I can do better then obviously the best course of action is to keep quiet, write a technical post and win. And I'm fairly surely being critical of Freeola's practices isnt going to increase my chances of winning in the future. ;)

Thanks guys ... though I must confess, it was less Ninja "sneakiness" and more "[I]thought it would be done by 11am, but over-ran, just a little[I]" :)
And the winner is....
Once again...
With a late entry...

Congratulations! Maybe Web Slices will be the next big thing since RSS?

Oh no, the algorithm is way more complicated than that. ;D
A winner has been chosen...!!!

Three minutes.
If they work out the winner by usefulness x (ability/ amount of technical posts written) then you'll win for sure Emmie!
