:IMPORTANT: Help this young man get himself an Xbox 360 :IMPORTANT:

[ArunSenior04]

Hello,
There is a poor young man living in Virginia who is in urgent need of your assistance. While on my travels through Virginia, I met someone who would forever change my life. He taught me about the values of driving a Hyundai. I never had a father figure in my life. He took me under his wing, and showed me, through example, to be a responsible black man.

Well, ladies and gentleman, he needs your help. He, lets call him Super J, is in desperate need of an Xbox 360. Throughout his whole life, he has always given whatever he had to others. Whether its paying for the server fees of a popular Elantra website, or handling the pressures of the average middle-class citizen growing up in America. Its time for him to finally have his day. Every since he was a young lad, he had always coveted one of these systems, but because of his sincere and giving nature, he has always put others before his dream. The dream has been long deferred. The time is now.

To help this saint achieve his dream, please donate to the:
SuperGLS Xbox 360 Fund
Paypal:
(Note: There is a Paypal 360 donation link right on the home page. You can use it send your donations, even by credit card. Please put your EXD username in the notes.)

[BColeman]

Too funny ! ! !

I'll get back to you later in the week. I'll donate $10, as long as there's proof he'll be getting that 360.

[ArunSenior04]

Ill even donate some cash. Not til this Friday tho. lol.

[BColeman]

There's only one other condition though:

Playing XBOX 360 can NO WAY interfere with ADMIN duties on this site. If so, I claim the XBOX as my own:D

[slyderdai]

i would donate the two bucks but i need every cent i have right now for that tibby front bumper preorder...sorry. but i can send you some video of some games and a controller so you can pretend and i'll even make you a cardboard cutout of the 360 W/ some led's you can place in front of your dvd player to get the full pretend experience:D

[PSUsouthpaw]

I'll pledge $5 when payday comes around.

[Munky]

James, you're cool enough for ten bucks.

[SuperGLS]

First of all, Reece is awesome.

Second, yes, there will be a raffle of 5 Pro Memberships. Anyone who donates any money will be entered, winners chosen randomly. If you are already a Pro Member I'll send you an EXD shirt, and if you already have a shirt, well damn, you are already awesome enough.

Third, Bryan, proof will be dominating you on Live in a game of your choosing, haha. And oh, I've always done a good job balancing video games and EXD, no worries there.

[Munky]

Woot..chance for an EXD shirt.

C'mon people, if you never gave back to EXD, here is your chance. All these threads, DIY's and FAQ's come from the blood sweat and tears of our admin and devoted members!

Help this poor fool out, it's not that much money.

[TDO]

Should throw in another option of donation X amount will get you a pro membership

[kylemorg]

There you go, SuperGLS -- check your Paypal account... you're a bit closer now.

[jalmir]

I'll see what I can do at payday! ;)

[BColeman]

First of all, Reece is awesome.

James, I would love to play you on Live with the game of my choice, however, I too don't own a 360, due to children (why do they have to be so expensive).

And yes, you do a good job of balancing everything life has thrown at you and running this site. Cheers to you bro!!!:bowdown: :bowdown: :bowdown:

[toymachine566]

okay if i pay $10 then that would be half of my case for the week hmmmmm. this is tough.............................








I guess I can live with twelve beers for a week :D. put me down for $10. Beginning of next week though.

[CornbreadXD]

wait till payday i just need some exd bizness cards. i'd like to win a shirt also though.

[slyderdai]

okay so my "netdix" idea is a bad one can i send you a money order? i don't have or want paypal?

[BobMs_wht2k2]

I need money for tires. Can I get in on this pledge for cash?

[yamaha]

That cheap **** told me if I got him a Xbox 360 I could be a mod, your a bad bad admin James.

[TDO]

Someone buy the man a copy of Forza!

[SuperGLS]

Here's an idea I came up with today at work... when the $400 goal is reached I'll make a video of me doing the E-walk, or possibly, the E-walk while I play xbox if I'm talented enough.

okay so my "netdix" idea is a bad one can i send you a money order? i don't have or want paypal?

Of course. If you are serious send me a PM and I'll send you my address.

That cheap **** told me if I got him a Xbox 360 I could be a mod, your a bad bad admin James.

This was Reece's idea, not mine. You should get in on it, you might win a cheaper Pro Membership that you want so bad.

Someone buy the man a copy of Forza!

I can handle the games once I have the system.

[yamaha]

*****, you owe me a pro membership, without me you would be NOTHING!

[ArunSenior04]

Thanks to MunkyMofo and Kylemorg, Super J is $30 closer to his goal.

[toymachine566]

garh, payment sent. you guys better not be scamming us:tongue: j/k

[ArunSenior04]

Toymachine has done his part to fulfill the dream. Have you done yours?

[mbv2001]

Toymachine has done his part to fulfill the dream. Have you done yours?


nope.... lol:D

[djarsonist]

I'm intrigued.... I might donate ($5), put me down for a maybe, and PM me on Friday.


PEACE
dj arsonist

[OPZ]

Super, if you get it, I don't want to see a video of you doing just the E-walk...I want you to Ghost E-walk/ride the whip...

[PSUsouthpaw]

*****, you owe me a pro membership, without me you would be NOTHING!

Ah, so its down to just a pro membership now? What happened to those aspirations to modhood?

Yes, I'll be donating, as soon as payday arrives.

[SuperGLS]

10% to the goal after 24 hours. You guys are great.

I better start practicing the E-walk.

As for Sean, he is like the long lost brother I never had (well, besides my real brother).

[Slapshotman7]

Hmm.. I do want a tshirt.

[DJ Hellfire]

I'll donate once more people do and I see that more people take this serious. Don't wanna donate and he never ends up getting the entire amount. But please, sticky this thread so I don't forget it!

[TEK30001]

Payment sent.
Hope he achieve his dream.:)

[BobMs_wht2k2]

What about my tires so I can keep campaigning the Hyundai in SCCA?

[Ugzz]

is this for real?.. wtf?
Are we really just pooling money so some schmuck can have an xbox?!?.. this is bs and i wont have it. super might run the site, but he doesnt deserve an xbox for it. what do you want for running this site james, huh? HUH? a cookie.. do you want a ****ing cookie?, can i paypal you your damn cookie??

*payment sent @ $5.
James, if you get an xbox you are a lucky bastard, now accept my paypal!

[toymachine566]

hahahaha, the thank you card thing is great. thanks meng, hope you get your goal soon.

I'm gonna start my own site now, I could use a Wii :D

[robs02elantra]

ok sure, ten dollars pledged to you...don't have a paycheck yet.

[Ugzz]

i think i should win a tshirt, lets have the raffle right now so my chances are better.. i promise ill wear it, cmon its like free advertising!

[BobMs_wht2k2]

Just one tire would be nice.

[kylemorg]

Just one tire would be nice.

What?!? Do you now want to start a thread "buy Poor Bob a set of tires"?

[tharptroy]

now bob, my front tires are down to the cords, so I have priority on the buy me a tire thread =P

and super, when I decide to put some money in my paypal account, you'll get some.

[ba_feitl]

What?!? Do you now want to start a thread "buy Poor Bob a set of tires"?

Just have the dealership order a set... say they're defective and the customer didn't want them so it's a write-off and you're just doing your part to help the business avoid having to pay the receyling fee on these tires by putting them on your car.

:D
Brad

[BobMs_wht2k2]

^Great plan, but Tire rack allows returns.

[robs02elantra]

bob, should I remind you about the DINK conversation that was going on in the other thread...how great it is to have two incomes and no kids to worry about.

[BobMs_wht2k2]

Yep. . .DINK is nice, but that doesn't mean I don't have other priorities like retirement, mortgage. . . .you know "grown up " things :P

[robs02elantra]

haha yes, grown up things. I can't wait until I can buy my own house (in a couple of months...)

[BobMs_wht2k2]

Yeah, well according to the "greenies" I'm the devil because I did. You know, wanted clean air, space to grow and peace and quiet. Therefore I am evil because I have to drive to work instead of walk or ride a bicycle.

[Cypher]

"grown up" whats that? i'll never be that!!! mwhahahah.

i'm broke from throwing money at student loans and the canada trip. not this week james. i get paid next friday so someone ask me then.

[BobMs_wht2k2]

I'd start a "Help me with the tires fund" but . . . .I'm not the most popular member here sometimes. . . :abovelol:


But. . . .everyone likes Steve-o. Maybe I can "say" they're for him. . . nah. That's illegal.

[05xd]

Steve-O is the man!!! lol
Im watching Jackass 2 right now

[PSUsouthpaw]

Alright, Sent my $$$ over.

[SuperGLS]

Bob and Rob, let's please stay on topic here. Thank you.

To be fair, I think I'll make every $2.00 worth 1 spot in the raffle. So the people that send $6 will get 3 spots, $10 will get 5 spots, $2 will get one spot, etc.

Later tonight I'll give everyone an update. Continued thanks to everyone who has donated.

[BobMs_wht2k2]

We are on topic. We're trying to figure out how to raise money in your similar fashion. I just don't have a site I run where people worship me. All I gots worshipping me are a pair of tail-waggin' mutts and they are only happy to see me because they're hungry.

[BColeman]

^ Speaking of which, I wonder when my Pro membership expires. I'm sure it's coming up. I need to pay James again real soon.

And my money will over on Tuesday, July 3, and I've upped it to $15 thank you.

[yamaha]

I cannot believe your still paying 50/month to host EXD James, I guess I can donate money towards a pro membership then.

[silversharkXD2]

I'll donat 100.00 if you buy a ps3...
other than that, I'll donate 50.00 if you sell me your other DC games cheap. and you could put that money toward the xbox.

Other than that I'll pledge 20.00 for tomorrow.

I'll give you 100.00 if you make me a mod...LOL

[BColeman]

I'll donate $150 if you make me a MOD!!! Of course, I'd probably be the one to abuse the power.;)

[SuperGLS]

I just don't have a site I run where people worship me.

Nobody worships me, or at least they shouldn't. I think people appreciate me though.

I cannot believe your still paying 50/month to host EXD James, I guess I can donate money towards a pro membership then.

I know, that's the one thing that you'll always hate me for.

I'll donat 100.00 if you buy a ps3...

You could donate $600 to me and I still wouldn't buy a PS3, ha. Let me get back to you on my other couple DC games. I was going to use that money for the xbox originally but then I had that problem with my brakes which used up all of the money you paid me plus some.

I'll donate $150 if you make me a MOD!!! Of course, I'd probably be the one to abuse the power.;)

If I ever get really desperate I'll be eBaying mod positions I guess.

[ArunSenior04]

I plan to send my donation tonight or tomorrow morning.

[PSUsouthpaw]

Got my thank you card...THAT IS SO FREAKING COOL! Seriously, those of you who haven't donated some money to the fund, by all means, do so, the card is worth it!!!!!

[SuperGLS]

Haha. It's because I have crazy Photoshop skills. I made the donation meter myself as well.

Well, we are now at 13% in 48 hours. Thanks to everyone again.

[DJ Hellfire]

I think it would be a better investment to just up the ante and and go for the $480 Elite version!

[PSUsouthpaw]

Depends on how many people donate. If this is still going next week around payday I may throw in a few more bucks.

[ArunSenior04]

I just donated my $22. Im also the largest contributer thusfar.

[Ugzz]

reece really wants that t-shirt.. can i get 2.5 chances at it for my $5? hehe

and yamaha a pro member!? is it raining kittens already?

and finally, as far as the card. Everyone should donate for the card, it gives you a spirit boost that improves life skills +1 permanently!.. but only if you believe in exd as your false idol and print two copies of the e-card super sends, keep one in your wallet, frame the other and worship it.. then you get true POWER

[qcelantra02]

I just donated my $2 !!!!!!!!!!

[SuperGLS]

Thanks for todays donations. Thank you cards have been sent.

We are now at 21.5% of the goal in 72 hours. I will update the donation meter shortly.

I think it would be a better investment to just up the ante and and go for the $480 Elite version!

Isn't something about 'Thou shall not be a greedy *****' in the bible? I don't want to be greedy. But, if we get there, we get there. I don't have an HDTV to enjoy it on at this time either.

but only if you believe in exd as your false idol and print two copies of the e-card super sends, keep one in your wallet, frame the other and worship it.. then you get true POWER

That's scary, haha.

[DJ Hellfire]

Isn't something about 'Thou shall not be a greedy *****' in the bible? I don't want to be greedy. But, if we get there, we get there. I don't have an HDTV to enjoy it on at this time either.



I wouldn't say it's greedy. It's not like you are begging us for it or even started this thread. It's just money better spent and you deserve it. But now that they came out with the Elite, the regular premium seems like a rip off. Or, even if we don't get it to $480, if it get's to the $400, I'm sure it wouldn't be too difficult for you to put up the extra $80 yourself (assuming).

[ArunSenior04]

Highest donation should get a tshirt. :)

[Mobius1]

I do have to say the post that starts this off was great. Just becareful when you get the 360 since they are known to crash, like mine did this past monday. So get a warrenty just incase it doesn't die within that 90 day period. Hope you get the Elite version, better investment.

[Codenomics]

ill shoot in a 10er as soon as payday comes around. If i win the pro membership ill pick a non pro that i think should have it.

[silversharkXD2]

Nobody worships me, or at least they shouldn't. I think people appreciate me though.



I know, that's the one thing that you'll always hate me for.

If I ever get really desperate I'll be eBaying mod positions I guess.

Let me know. I'll donate after that.

[zx2uner]

I just donated my $22. Im also the largest contributer thusfar.

was....ha:D

Highest donation should get a tshirt. :)

++++1!

[ArunSenior04]

How much did you donate?

[NUT03]

Super I'll do money order on Monday,pm your address.When you get the infernal machine play it till you have blisters:D

[ArunSenior04]

I'm the highest once again. :tongue:

Totals updated on 1st page. Im really surprised by the generosity of you guys.

[SuperGLS]

34.75% in four days now. You guys are amazing. Updating the meter shortly.

Highest donation will definitely receive one of the t-shirts, that was a good idea.

[BColeman]

Okay, I sent $15 on over. I'll send more on Tuesday for Jame's gift. Thanks James for a wonderful site, and you deserve the system.

[silversharkXD2]

40.01 donated...top that biatches!!!

let me know about the games. I'll buy everything off of you if you want to unload the whole lot...including the system

[ArunSenior04]

Im going to outbid you, but not til Friday lol.

Damn nearly ~50% to goal.

[SuperGLS]

Ok. We are now at 48.5% in 5 days. Did I mention that you guys are amazing?

Donation meter updated.

[KeWLKaT]

I cant believe this is working. lol.

[Rdizziedog]

Ok. We are now at 48.5% in 5 days. Did I mention that you guys are amazing?

Donation meter updated.

You didn't update the front page meter...

[SuperGLS]

You didn't update the front page meter...

Whoops. I uploaded the picture but didn't change it. Done, changed.

[Ugzz]

anyone read about that girl that razed money on a website and got like 10g or something then the govmt came after her and made her pay taxes on it or somethign wacky (i have no idea what im talking about and its a good 90% chance im wrong). but anyone remember that? lol

hey super i hope you have to pay the 28$ tax you bastard! lol

[drmarks82]

Well I'm broke, but still sent $2. Hope it works out James, I'm ready to play some Halo 3 when it comes out.

[TEK30001]

Do you think that you can put my name TEK30001:confused:
I know it was only $2 dollars that I donate.:redface:

[silversharkXD2]

we better get a really big thank you for this...lol

[NUT03]

Hey money order sent;) only$10,but that's all I can aford for now

[djarsonist]

How much do "we" have so far? I think I see the % at 50, so I assume "we" need $200 more than right?


PEACE
dj arsonist

[ArunSenior04]

Check the 1st post.

[SuperGLS]

That is correct. We are a little over 50% now. I'll update everything a little later tonight.

EDIT - $206. So that's 51.5% of the goal that we are at in 6 days.

[robs02elantra]

and that's the money received, not the money pledged?

[ArunSenior04]

Yes. Thats how much that has been received.

[TDO]

Why not go for the "elite" or premium version?

[SuperGLS]

Why not go for the "elite" or premium version?

I've been thinking more about the Elite... but, for what?

I'll never have a use for 120GB harddrive. My computer has 80GB and I don't even use that. I'll never be downloading movies or putting my music (which I only have about 8.5GB worth of anyway) on it. The HDMI output is nice, but, I don't, and won't have an HDTV for a while (unless we start another donation fund, haha).

So, I'll definitely be getting the 20GB $400 version.

[Munky]

How much is the elite, anyway?

[BColeman]

^ It's close to $600. I think it's right at $599, at least that's the price at GameStop.

Glad to see we are getting you up there James.

My other $15 has been sent, bringing me to a grand total of $30 pledged and paid. No, I'm not the highest, but I'm not doing this to win anything either.:D

[Munky]

What's the differences between pledges and donations?

[BColeman]

You pledge. Then you make the donation, it's no longer a pledge. You came through and paid up your pledge.

I originally pledged $10, then $15, donated the $15 and then I threw in another $15. See the first page, you'll see there are 2 sections, pledged donations, and actual received donations.

[Munky]

Oh, gotcha. Pledges are like "I am going to pay" whereas donations have already paid.

[BColeman]

Yes sir, you got it:D

[SuperGLS]

Pledges are just like when people say they are going to come to a Hyundai meet, hah.

By the way, the Elite is only $480 (over $500 with tax here).

Through today we are at 55.25% of the goal. Yay EXD!

[BColeman]

So, do I get another card for my latest donation???

[Cypher]

man... i need to get a site with followers so i can get something!

[SuperGLS]

Donation meter updated.

I'll see what I can do at payday! ;)

I promise to buy Rainbow Six Vegas if you donate some money.

not this week james. i get paid next friday so someone ask me then.

Not asking, just quoting this post to refresh your memory.

I guess I can donate money towards a pro membership then.

You better get in on your only chance at a Pro Membership without paying the full amount Mr. How About $15?

hey super i hope you have to pay the 28$ tax you bastard! lol

Haha, don't worry, the tax when purchasing the system is going to be quite a bit with our 5% sales tax.

So, do I get another card for my latest donation???

No, well, if you really want one. I didn't save the .psd file I don't think so I don't know if I could make another for you.

[SoulReaver]

Yo what is the E-walk dance that might be worth it lol

[SuperGLS]

Yo what is the E-walk dance that might be worth it lol

Check it out here (http://www.elantraxd.com/forums/showthread.php?t=22860). Enjoy.

[ArunSenior04]

Damn Carbonman just dropped $60. O.O

[SuperGLS]

Up to 70.25%. We'll wait a couple hours for the days final update and donation meter update.

Here are two photochops that I'm proud of.

First, my current setup with all the important things noted.

http://www.elantraxd.com/images/currentsetup.jpg

Second, where should I put the xbox 360 when I get it?

http://www.elantraxd.com/images/futuresetup.jpg

[ArunSenior04]

LMAO at James using weights.

You need an entertainment center my friend.

[BColeman]

Yep, James, you forgot to mention the Microwave cart from Target for $59.99 that you are using for an entertainment center.

Don't feel bad though, I'm using that exact same one:D

[Cypher]

maybe they are the wifes?? :tongue:

[BColeman]

James, put the DVD player in your Bedroom. The 360 will play DVD's good enough for you, and you can have entertainment in the bedroom, as if there isn't enough all ready:D

Then put the 360 where the DVD player used to be.

[SuperGLS]

LMAO at James using weights.

I laugh when I use them too.

It came with the wife. We have this TV stand in our bedroom (the picture is from a couple years ago when I lived with my mom... the He-Man action figure is now on my desk while the Lego Basketball setup is gone and the Waldo figure is in a box somewhere... damn, I used to be a lot cooler). It's a corner TV stand though so it wouldn't work out in the living room. The DVD player that you see has stopped working so the one that is now in the living room will replace it in the bedroom and as you say, we'll use the xbox for the DVD player.

Yes, actually they are. Ha.

Hmmm

[CornbreadXD]

James, i see your getting your daily dose of BET

i paid $6 (davidw954@aol.com)

[DJ Hellfire]

Haha, don't worry, the tax when purchasing the system is going to be quite a bit with our 5% sales tax.

That's it?! Tax is 7% in NJ and NY is over 8% now!

Also, don't stand the 360 vertically. It is how the system scratches the discs because there is nothing to hold the disc firmly while it's spinning. I don't know why they recommend it.

[Keyan]

http://img372.imageshack.us/img372/5134/ikeadf2.jpg

Hmmm

i found waldo !!!!!!!!!!!!

[SuperGLS]

He-Man is cool. The white thing next to it is actually some samurai statue I had. The red and white striped t-shirt guy is Waldo. That orange GC controller I broke by throwing it. And, I wish those were porn magazines, but I think they were free Nintendo Power or GamePro magazines.

As for the BET, I used to (back when the picture is from). Now I hardly watch any BET or MTV.

Now, BACK ON TOPIC.

We are at 72.75% of the goal. Keep it up.

[Keyan]

just chipped in 10 bucks.

[ArunSenior04]

Damn, 75% to GOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAL. (Yell it like they do at a Nigerian soccer game.)

Not far from the goal. Less than $100 to go.

[kennef]

Is that some sort of tapestry or flag that you have on the wall???

[ArunSenior04]

Is that some sort of tapestry or flag that you have on the wall???

The story behind is hilarious.

Well.....I think we'd all appreciate a good laugh....

[Vampyrate]

the shear fact that this is working is quite laughable

[jalmir]

just send 10$! :D

[Vampyrate]

i can't even afford a gallon of gas let alone send money

okay, i gotta know the story behind the flag

[Keyan]

wow, less than $100 to go :eek:

[wazntme]

have fun with the 360

i just donated 50$ :-D

[ArunSenior04]

Damn special thanks to wazntme for his huge contribution.

[DJ Hellfire]

Wow! Only $13 away from an Elite!

[evan938]

damn. i doubt it will be, but if this is still open next friday (13th), ill chip in a few bucks. right now, im on the verge of broke, and gotta put gas in my car to last til the 13th

[Keyan]

a hundred bucks? holy crap


i'd call that dedicated-almost-to-the-point-of-stupid

[evan938]

+1. thats an insane donation

i wish i could spend cash like that

[BColeman]

And NOW James can get his 360.

Your welcome James, and thank you for being the greatest...

[ArunSenior04]

We need to start a drive for a new entertainment center. :)

[Rdizziedog]

Damn special thanks to wazntme for his huge contribution.

I think peteskeetex06 also deserves his own special thanks. A $50 donation is pretty amazing also :bowdown: :bowdown:

Now James just needs a game to play and a new entertainment system. :D

[SuperGLS]

Well, I've already thanked everyone in person but I wanted to thank everyone again and especially wazntme, carbonman, and peteskeetex06. They combined for over 50% themselves. You guys are ****ing amazing and the rest of you and pretty damn cool too.

Because we went over the $400 goal I'll have to figure something out with the raffle and how I'm going to make that work, but rest assured I'll get it taken care of.

I'll be going to Costco tomorrow to buy it. Because we got up near $470 I am going to buy a bundle they have there which includes the 20GB Premium version, an extra wireless controller, plug and charge kit, and the Arcade Unplugged game for $459 (it's listed $469 on the website). I'll take plenty of pics once I get it home.

[knottravesty]

Congrats... That's F'in crazy...

[slyderdai]

well i sent out my money order on tuesday so buy yourself a case of beer or whatever you want with it

[CornbreadXD]

will you post a thank you video on youtube with you crying on it?

[SuperGLS]

Congrats... That's F'in crazy...

I agree.

well i sent out my money order on tuesday so buy yourself a case of beer or whatever you want with it

Thanks! I'll add it to the list once I get it. I'll use it towards the purchase of a game (since I don't drink).

will you post a thank you video on youtube with you crying on it?

No, but this weekend I'll get out my E-walk shoes and get my E-walk video up.

[DJ Hellfire]

(since I don't drink).





Same here! And at parties, everyone always thinks I'M the one with the problem!:rolleyes:

[Munky]

See James...we do care.

Every now and then. ;)

[hyunelan2]

Wow. Impressive. I thought this would start out strong, then stall out, then be brought back up after a little while, and I'd throw in a few bucks. Pretty impressive that this was pulled off in the time it was.

Enjoy your new toys.

[Pete03GLS]

take the extra cash, and buy the 360 ELITE..... i think its worth it, it has the HDMI output which means better quality picture. plus, its black, which itself is worth the extra $$ IMO!!! :)

congrats!!

[slyderdai]

you guys should hold a raffle every month and pick someone with the need for a new mod like wheels, bodykits, stereo, whatever just do a nomination thing. like cotm but nominate one month raffle for it the next

[Pete03GLS]

and by a raffle do u mean start a donation for the raffle winner?? of w/e mod everybody as a whole thinks shud be next?? or something like that??

[Whipper]

gratz man, thats awesome

[slyderdai]

and by a raffle do u mean start a donation for the raffle winner?? of w/e mod everybody as a whole thinks shud be next?? or something like that??
Yessir that exactly what i mean group consensus though. It's worth a try we could have some modded up rides then. "pay it forward"

[Pete03GLS]

ahh yes. i like the idea, but it would probably work best for some in-expensive mods... sub 500$.... cuz i think that anything over would just take sooo long. but who knows EXD UNITE!!!! lol :)

[Munky]

Actually, donation posts or posts asking/begging for money are not permitted on EXD. The only reason I didn't close the xbox 360 donation thread is because it was for me (ahh, it's nice to be the boss).

Sorry about your luck. ;)

[slyderdai]

it's not really asking or begging it would be like cotm except in a raffle form of mods c'mon super you gotta be down. it's just an idea ya gotta atleast give it a trial run

[KeWLKaT]

this weekend I'll get out my E-walk shoes and get my E-walk video up.

Do it, I already have 2 videos up, and you only have zero :D

[Lawyer]

Microsoft facing $1bn Xbox bill

Some Xbox Live gamers have complained about fraud
Microsoft has said that it is facing a bill of more than $1bn to cover the cost of offering extended warranties, after failings with its Xbox 360.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/business/6275728.stm

[SuperGLS]

See James...we do care.

Trust me, I know the ones that care.

Do it, I already have 2 videos up, and you only have zero :D

Mine will be twice as cool, don't worry.

[Ugzz]

right before the big donations i sure played my part by donating an EXTRA Two dollars and Thirty Seven cents!! Since its extra you can use it for Gas money James! hehe

bringing my total donations to a Whopping 7.37.
hehe, why do i find it interesting/funny that its 737?, its a sign or sorts!

quick, play the lotto!

[xdforme22]

Congrats! Just as soon as I finally get a paypal account, you get enough money:( Oh well, enjoy. I look forward to that video. And we def should do this again, I want to get involved :D

[04 elantra cvvt]

I know that the goal has already been reached, but I figure you will need games, so I threw in a $20.00 for ya.

You deserve it James.

[KeWLKaT]

we want pics!

lol

[SuperGLS]

Pics coming momentarily.

[OPZ]

No moments! Nows!

THANKS EVERYONE who donated. Special thanks to Reece.

Today I picked up Rainbow Six Vegas like I promised I would. It will hold me over until Halo 3.

Oh, I'll figure out how we'll work the raffle this week some time. I didn't think we'd have the money so quick and didn't even get a chance to think of the format. We are working on something though.

[Munky]

Very nice..glad to see we can give back after everything you've done for us.

By the way, you look like a 12 year-old in that picture. Hahaha.

[ArunSenior04]

From this day forth, I shall loathe the existence of that damn Xbox 360. lol.

[SuperGLS]

Haha, yeah, I look cooler as Manny James.

[ArunSenior04]

Did you try out than random program i made?

[SuperGLS]

Not yet. Today after work I'm going to check it out.

[djarsonist]

Get Ghost Recon Advanced Warfare 2, or GRAW2 as everyone calls it.....



PEACE
dj arsonist

[Munky]

I spent about 40 total hours on Dead Rising when I borrowed my brother's 360. Addictive as hell.

[Silentwolf]

Vegas kicks ***. But it is sam hell easier to play on the PC than the 360. (an ya i've played it on both) Hope ur planning on getting Forza 2.

[SuperGLS]

kennef has GRAW2. The graphics are amazing on his HDTV. Haven't played it myself though. I can't drop another $60 right now, so maybe I'll borrow his when he is done with it (or GRAW which he has also).

I spent about 40 total hours on Dead Rising when I borrowed my brother's 360. Addictive as hell.

That could be a problem for me. I think I'll stay away.

Vegas kicks ***. But it is sam hell easier to play on the PC than the 360. (an ya i've played it on both) Hope ur planning on getting Forza 2.

The last PC game I played was Doom 2 so I don't have the whole "PC controls for FPS's own console controls" feeling that PC gamers do. It's a wonderful game.

Right now Vegas will keep me busy and so will my daily video games (some Wii and DS games that I play once a day like Big Brain, Wii Sports, Brain Age, etc). But, I do look forward to putting some time into Forza 2 somewhere down the line.

Then September 25th will come and I will be playing Halo 3 on Live 5 hours a night. That's when you'll need to worry about EXD, haha.

[Pete03GLS]

i myself am thinking about getting a 360 once H3 comes out... if i do... ill have to get a new tv too... cuz the tv i have is from like.... 1995... lol i can barely watch normal tv as it is... :)

Ok... the XBox is cool and all, but where did you get the shirt?

lol

Congrats James, you deserve it.

[Ugzz]

Awesome, glad you got th box and posted up pics n all.
bet you never thought the site would pay something back did you?! hehe

special tx for reece for the idea and all the donators for following through, goes to show ya we all actually like it here! wtg james, keep up the good work

also why do you have two routers? the bottom one has all the leds on so it looks on and full/near full and the top one is either off and has a reflection on it, or its powered on but has nothing plugged in..

[jalmir]

Today I picked up Rainbow Six Vegas like I promised I would.

oh yeah! :D

Be sure to look at the credits to spot my name! :cool:

[Munky]

Top is wired only, bottom is wireless. I'm guessing he has his wireless router hooked to the wired, almost exactly how my home setup is.

[Silentwolf]

oh yeah! :D

Be sure to look at the credits to spot my name! :cool:

:confused: Seriously? Or u yankin?

[BobMs_wht2k2]

So. . . . when am I getting those tires?

[jalmir]

:confused: Seriously? Or u yankin?

I'm serious ... I've done all the tactical maps of that game!

Ask Felix (KeWLKaT) ... or even James, they have my work mail that ends with "ubisoft.com" ;)

[ArunSenior04]

So when am I getting those admin rights? :D

[kennef]

Vraimant?

Tu t'appelle comment?

[jalmir]

Christian Chauvette ... I think I posted the list of games I worked on somewhere ...

[Munky]

So when am I getting those admin rights? :D

So that's why he started this!

It all makes sense now.. ;)

[SuperGLS]

:confused: Seriously? Or u yankin?

Yes, he is the coolness. That's why I told him I'd buy the game if he donated some money.

One is the modem the other is the router.

So when am I getting those admin rights? :D

Ha, like you really want to pretend you are a dad to a forum of EXDers. All the joys of fatherhood with no Father's Day gift (or anyone to mow the grass or fetch the newspaper).

So that's why he started this!

It all makes sense now.. ;)

Yes, he seemed to being doing something for another person, but in the end Reece will always be one thing... selfish.

[ArunSenior04]

Haha.

[BobMs_wht2k2]

Seriously. . . tires?

[SuperGLS]

Damn, I'm now the happiest person alive. RE5 is coming to 360.

http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/803/803219p1.html

[Ugzz]

was 4 any good, i never played it but i heard it wasnt as gripping as past titles..
just hoping re is going down hill..

[ArunSenior04]

If you have never played any iteration of RE4, you are not a gamer. Period.

[Cypher]

maybe you are just a loooooooser reece. a selfish little loser :tongue:

[[-32-]]

you should start an xbox 360 fund for me.. I was doing it at work but it didnt work out, your lucky man.

[Munky]

;317209']you should start an xbox 360 fund for me.. I was doing it at work but it didnt work out, your lucky man.

James has his own website.

You don't.

You lose.

[SuperGLS]

No, he is right. RE4 is a must have, must play game (either the GC, PS2, or Wii version).

I'm sorry, but I think Munky is right.

[BobMs_wht2k2]

I don't want an xBox. . . I just want some tires. Even 2 would be great. Seriously . . . I'm just chock full of little nuggets if info!

[djarsonist]

Download the Call of Duty 4 demo.... WOW, just WOW..... Halo 3 didn't impress me that much.



PEACE
dj arsonist

[hyunelan2]

I'm not going to ask guys to buy me anything. I just want time to play with the toys I already have. Any way to make that happen?

[BobMs_wht2k2]

You get me some tires, I'll find you some time!

Seriously Mike, you've heard my politcal views. You think I'm really sitting here with my hand out expecting something for free? :abovelol: My entire family tree probably just turnerd over in their graves at the mere mention of it!!!

[Ugzz]

RE4 just came out for PC in may, i have it now, but havnt had the time to play it. I never played it before because its a console game, and i dont play console games except for soul calibur, final fantasy, and kingdom hearts

[Vampyrate]

i dont want time or anything... if i can find a way to get a manual XD i will gladly trade my car for it, straight up, no bs (but it has to be at least 01)

as long as it can pass the VA inspection, i dont care about mods done to it, and anything closer to VA the better.

that is all i ask, no money, just another xd

[BColeman]

Does anyone know if the raffle winners have been chosen yet? I'm curious to know who won. I guess James has been too busy playing the 360, like I predicted, to do the raffle.:D

[yamaha]

Where is the EWalk James!?!?!?!

Vids or Permaban!

[SuperGLS]

BUSTED!

Actually, I still had $2 here and there coming in so I was hesitant to start it without making sure everyone was in on it. Let's set Friday (7/20) as the last day. I verified that the program Reece made will work for picking random winners, so I'm good to go. I should have the winners posted by Sunday if all goes well.

As for the Ewalk video, I'm still working on the choreography. Don't worry, it's on the way.

By the way, the 360 is nice. It just makes me dislike my TV (which is an OK TV) and my TV stand (which we all know is poop) even more. Thanks guys.

[PSUsouthpaw]

Hooray for James doing the E-walk!!!!!

[knottravesty]

Yea, I feel cool.. i was jealous, so i went out and bought one lol... plus forza2 and DiRT....

[Vampyrate]

my fraternity brother just bought forza for his 360, and now i want one so bad... all i would play is forza and dirt.

damn, i wish people would send me money to go buy an xbox :(

[BColeman]

^ Sorry Aaron, but no can do.

But, on the other hand, I'd be happy to send you money to get rid of your GM vehicle and get back into an XD:D

[evan938]

Where is the EWalk James!?!?!?!

Vids or Permaban!


maybe he could post the e-walk video when you post your dyno sheets :rolleyes:

im game for that... james, reece, get the thread started. ive been quoted at about 3500 as is for my gm (which would minus the subs and hu with extras... so that means that i want a hatch 5spd... find one on the east coast adn help me out)

[wazntme]

so who got the drawing? or did something go horribly wrong lmao

[Ugzz]

yeah sunday was the 22nd.. or did you mean THIS sunday :D

[BobMs_wht2k2]

I heard they're using that money to buy me tires now. . . . . :D

[05xd]

Or is that money goin to be coming to me for a Mini-tub for my Caballero?

[SuperGLS]

Actually it turns out that Reece actually won all the prizes... I knew there was something wrong with the "random picker" program that he made for the raffle.

Sorry guys, it looks like he outsmarted us.
