The first inaugural GWJ youth gaming scholarship, COMPLETE!

You could do a http://www.steamcalculator.com/ to show us what he has in the library...or can anyone see what's in a person's library?
Then people can see what he dosnt have.

Oh that's awesome: http://www.steamcalculator.com/id/li...

Since everything went off sale, we're at $518.07 USD! Heheh...

I have the Sam & Max Complete pack I could give him. I bought it for a friend on the Steam sale not knowing they already had all the individual games.

Processor and motherboard arrived today! We're very close...

Not sure about the innuendos and whatnot. Sometimes they cut it pretty close to the line for a 12 year old.... but then, what do I know? I had a pretty sheltered childhood!

I wasn't sure, since I have never played them.

Seem good to me!

Do you think we're still on for an unveiling tomorrow? Do you have all the parts? Keep us in the loop, man!!!

I don't know. It gets pretty close in there.... I'd rather be out of the loop but in-the-know.

We have all the components with the exception of the video card. As soon as I get that, I will coordinate a time with my sister to present the bounty.

Cool

Wait, does this kid know he's getting this?

With your tag, this makes me spit take.

Not a clue. His mother knows now, but he does not.

Hah! The kids don't call me Uncle Trichy! They call me Uncle Po, after Kung Fu Panda. I assume it's because of my mad kung fu skills, and has nothing to do with my figure.

And nothing to do with you being Chinese and eating bamboo.

So it looks like Thursday is the night! We're still waiting on the monitor and the video card, but the video card is scheduled to arrive on Tuesday, and the monitor we can wait for (I have a small one that will serve for now). We're going to take photos and video for the community, so you can all see Liam find out that a lot of very kind people care about a kid they've never met.

This thread is one of the few things I look forward to reading each day. I'm excited for him, and I am really happy for them to have a little break at The Castle.

Hurray!

We should have done a card or a group photo...who can photoshop a bunch of heads onto a Swedish bikini team photo?
not appropriate?

Needs moar cars and dragons.

I think it would be inappropriate not to do that.

Seriously, though, I would like to have something to present to him showing him all the people who made this possible. Thoughts?

You could always just use everyone's avatars. I personally identify all of you that way anyway, I was devastated to find out you look nothing like Professor Frink.

Maybe we could all send you a recent photo of ourselves - then you could make a poster sort of thing and use real/forum names as people wish? Or some crazy collage of forum avatars?

Or even just show him this thread (and cover his eyes if necessary for naughty mentions of car/dragon pairings)?

Not very exciting, but simple - and given that I bet he's going to super excited at the unveiling, simple might be best. I don't want his brain to explode - he's going to need it.

Something like this:

But with your faces in it.

I'm not sure that even we are as prolific as Capcom!

Maybe an image of Stan, but with either our avatars, or our forum names in the thought bubble?

That way, we still keep that 'anonymous benefactor' cache thing going, but we are also representing the community here. Letting young Liam know that there are still a place in this world for people that appreciate each other for their minds and their views above all else (for those of us not lucky enough to have made it to an S&T somewhere).

Spoiler:

That, or the Swedish bikini thing... Ties in nicely with the aforementioned Lacrosse thing Trichy had going for him ;)
