This Saturday at 9PM EST, 8PM CST we will be broadcasting a live podcast to do a show and draw the winners of the GWJ Donation Drive raffle! We'll take questions from the Ustream chat room and check in with some of the International GWJ Day events as they happen. How drunk will Cory and Allen be? There's only one way to find out.
As usual, we'll post an edited version of the show on Wednesday so you can still tune in if you can't make it.

Regardless, congrats to all the winners! I hope to be one of you next year (just not in a creepy doppelganger-sort of way).
Woohoo! Congrats to the winners!
We all whooped it up at the Bay Area event when Mr. BNPederson was announced.
Congrats you winning jerks!

I don't know if Missy or anyone else had mentioned this, but it was the wrong "doc's" birthday mentioned on the live recording. I caught it after listening to it couple days after.
It isn't docbadwrench as he lives in Washington and was in attendance for the Pacific Northwest IGWJ day.
Anyways, Happy Birthday to the other "doctor" married to Missy!
On youtube.com: Timbaland Swede or ABBA's enemy?
Grats to those who won, even though they clearly must have cheated. It's like they slipped Elysium at least $10 or something.
NOTE: Not a doodle bug.
Lots of names, and familiar ones at that! Yay!
Congrats to all. Enjoy the spoils.
Stone thongs are almost as important to preventing the spread of elves as lead toys are.
Irongut... number 8...
number 'ate'...
get it? so perfect!
Wizkid,
Check your instant messages. I need to find out what you've chosen for your prize.

Seeing as I've had no time for gaming and won't for the foreseeable future (twins on the way). I'm hoping wizkid takes a console and then I can get the icon. Any suggestions?
I assume this means I can put in my request for the PSP Vita as my prize? If so, I would like to stake a claim on the PS Vita for my prize. I am still so thrilled to have won anything at all - my son was telling me that the odds were minuscule for me to win on the way to the CT S&T, and I told him I didn't donate money to get a prize, I do it to support such a great place; but I wouldn't say no to a prize, either.

I'm definitely taking the custom icon. Seriously, I don't even have much time for gaming on my android phone.
I'm leaning towards a gold miner. Get it? Too clever? I'm open to suggestions.
Two golden fetuses? (Fetusi?)
Well Minarchist was no help at all.
Golden Fistbump?

If all the previous go as forecasted (wizkid-console, Breechload-icon, Atras-Vita), put me down for the 3DS. Black, please, if I get to pick colour.

Sorry, at this point it looks like this:
Grand Prize: Wizkid (console)
Second Prize: Breechload (icon)
Third: Atras Vita (runner-up category)
That means the console, handheld and icon prizes are off the table. So the amazing Bioshock Infinite Posters, Steam shopping spree and Magic card starter decks are still up for grabs.

why is no one going for the Steam shopping spree?
If I could take back the winnings I gave away from last year, I would sooo jump on the steam spree!
I'd definitely go for some sort of golden projectile weapon.

How big are the posters?
I feel like I'm being asked to play chess but before I can make my next move, I have to listen to the innermost feelings of my queen-side rook.
Oh, my bad. The Steam thingy then if I can tack on the caveat that I do my pc gaming on a not-all-that-powerful laptop so things that are not all that system-intensive are favoured (I have some stuff like fallout 3 etc. on my list that may be deceptive...they don't run all that well and I hardly play them).
hmm...maybe I'd best wishlist some stuff. Even if you guys don't go for that stuff, I should have some stuff there to give you an idea of what I'm into. I think I have nothing on there at the moment.

New thought:
Wanna be a GWJ legend? Take the same theme, but use this:

It was my third choice, and it was a really close call between that and the Vita. In the end, while I would *love* for the Conference Call to peruse my Steam list and pick things out for me, I already have a pile a mile high. It seems like a new console to spread the pile to is a wiser choice than adding to one of the biggest backlogs I have.

I've updated the main post with the first 4 picks. Vinn_lander, you're up.

I'm gonna go ahead and pass on my pick. Not into Magic and I lack the man cave to put one of the posters up in, it would be a shame to waste such nice art tucked away hidden in a closet.
If the Magic Packs are repeatedly declined, you know where to send 'em

To the ramparts! Columbia calls you!!
I'll take the poster. It's rad.
Steam: thevinnlander XBLA: Gibby in PDX
I don't think I'll give the posters the love they deserve so I'll go with the Magic cards. Thanks!

RedHwk passes, so Kepheus. It's to you.

Kepheus also passes -- Irongut is up.
