MSN Conspiracy Game Part 2
Saturday, January 27, 2007 8:50 PM
How come nobody told me about the second part to MSN's Conspiracy Game?  I really liked the first part so I'll probably do this one as well.  Please help me create a walk through for others by emailing or posting the answers in the comments or in the forums.

The link for the game is still http://www.theconspiracygame.co.uk/conspiracy/
Dr. Pepper Hunt For More Clues
Tuesday, January 23, 2007 4:02 PM
Credit to Tombstone for notifying me of this new hunt that starts today.  Dr. Pepper is giving away 1 mil. in prizes worth 10,000 a piece.  A new clue will be released everyday.  To find out more you can visit the official website.   http://www.drpepper.com/huntformore/registration/web/login.aspx 

The rules can be found here.

It is fairly interesting that Dr. Pepper didn't want to host the rules on their own website.  So maybe somebody wants to check out the other promotions from softcoin and see if they are any good.  Here is the direct link for their "current promotions".

Post your Hunt For More clues in the comments.

HGTV Dream Home Giveaway 2007
Tuesday, January 16, 2007 11:19 AM

"Thought you might like to enter the HGTV Dream Home Giveaway!" (Thanks kcampbell for the link)

Remember you can only enter once per day so don't try and write a script to try and slip 1.3 million entries by the contest regulators, that will get you disqualified.  And don't be stupid, if you win, take the money because like every other year, the winners can't afford to pay the taxes.

Microsoft Vanishing Point Game

Microsoft this week launched a new game to promote the upcoming launch of Windows Vista called Vanishing Point.

Among the prizes available are copies of Vista, loaded PCs, Xbox 360 and other software.  Oh and I almost forgot the grand prize - A TRIP TO SPACE aboard the Rocketplane XP.
The Rocketplane® XP Vehicle is a four-seat fighter-sized vehicle fitted with a delta wing and a V-tail which provide good flight characteristics both subsonically and supersonically. The vehicle is powered by both turbojet engines and a rocket engine, enabling it to accelerate to speeds just over 3,500 feet per second (2,386 miles per hour) and reach altitudes in excess of 330,000 feet (100 kilometers) providing the sensation of weightlessness for three to four minutes!
So if you are like me join the Vanishing Point discussion forum and lets get some good prizes and hopefully send one of us to space.


Here are the answers for round 1 of Vanishing Point

Easy:
Sundial = helios
Watch Springs = five
Mantle Clock = honey
Gears = time travel

Medium:
Airport = cartographer
Cuckoos = big ben
Pocket Watches = green

Monkey Treasure

K0MiK informed me of a treasure hunt going on in the Portland, OR area. He says "The first hunt ended a couple days ago, but there is a second hunt starting on Tuesday."  Tuesday being tomorrow, I wanted to give everyone advanced notice on this hunt. 

I don't know much about the hunt other than the website is using the same software we use here at Steeple Media and they have a really good template design which makes their site look "pretty".

If you want to participate in the hunt you can find out more information by visiting the Monkey Treasure website.  Those of you who can't participate may want to just look at the website and see how "pretty" it is.  I am sure that K0MiK would appreciate knowing if any Steeple people are participating in the hunt as well.
