Hi all,
Do you drink mountain dew products? If so, I am performing an experiment to see how fast I can accumulate points. If you have any unclaimed points, email them to me, please, and I will post updates on how fast they accumulate.
Thanks!

you know, I think I should be sponsored by mountain dew...

I have a fountain pop machine in my car that dispenses mountain dew on a whim... good for the road trips, ya know?

sadly, no more dewu points for me.. however if I buy something with dewu points, I'll send em to ya.

Do they have those on the cans? I drink TONS of Mt Dew, but it's almost always in 12oz cans..

If you buy them by the 12pack or case, the cardboard case has the number on the inside. They are not in the cans themselves. They are also on the inside of the orange caps of the bottles. It's a 10 character number.

Damn, and I just drank about 5 bottles worth of the stuff last week. I threw out the bottles already :/

Heh, cool. Get 550 of them and you can buy an Xbox... Halo! :D

Celkan, yeah, the 10 character code.
Pyro, ;) that's the experiment

Never managed to learn the Halo XBox controls, I am stuck on the computer...

is running Halo at 55 fps

/me reads about the new ATI Card that runs Halo standard at 75 fps

/me cries...

/me thinks of restoring Master Chief's color and some of the glow...

The only redeeming quality for XBox (for me anyways) is that you can patch your games.

Read: you heard about those evil DOAX ones right?

Awww but I prefer Amp. Sounds like a good way to get an Xbox though :D

I prefer Pepsi, although perhaps I should start drinking Mountain Dew for points, 'nuff said.

>is running Halo at 55 fps


If you can manage 55fps on the time demo, then you have an uber computer.

FX5950's and ATi Radeon 9800XTs can't manange halo's timedemo without dropping under 30fps more than once... and I think thats the same with the X800's and GF6800's. Halo is too CPU intensive.

hmm... a supermarket chain here in switzerland has taken up MD. i'll go see if they have points on them...
Jun 05, 2004 mcnut link
so if this experiment passes and you were to say.. get an xbox, does this mean you'd port it to xbox? hmm?
Jun 06, 2004 toshiro link
[ot]i hope the devs won't port vendetta to the xbox. it killed halo (as well as bungie, actually) for the windows/macintosh gaming community.[/ot]

nope, found no points on this here country's Mountain Dew bottles. sorry.
