Fanduel NBA Winner 06.11.21

 

Hey there friends. Last night's games were brutal. There were a lot of players that didn't break 30 fantasy points and I didn't think I would be able to make the night a winning night. Luckily, my lineups pulled through in the end and I had a positive night, along with this first place win. 

Fanduel NBA Winner 06.09.21

Hey there friends. So last night one of my NBA lineups came in first place! Too bad that I wasn't the only one, it seems. lol In this contest, 1st place is set to win $400 but because there were so many players tied for first, including myself, we had to split the winnings. So... my win ended up being $2.51 for first. But NEVERTHELESS, it is a first place win and it feels good to know that the lineups I create are good enough to be at the top!

PunchTab Top Points Earner for January 2013 Winner

Hey there.  Thank you all for Tweeting, Commenting, +1ing and all that good stuff.  We started off the new year on a shaky start.  It's weird to me how my pageviews from Google gradually diminished through the month.  It was a little weird and I'm still trying to get to the bottom of it.  But either way, I still plan on rewarding you guys for stopping by and spreading the word about Metallman's Reverie.  So let's get straight to it.  And the winner is...

Friends: The Complete Series Blu Ray Boxed Set Winner

Hey there.  Recently, I haven't received many pictures from my winners so I haven't had a winners post in quite some time.  Good thing that the winner of the Friends: The Complete Series on Blu Ray came through with a picture!  Check out this awesome pic!!!

Here are a few words from the winner, John C!

I sincerely appreciate your site's POV and I really do hit it almost everyday...and NOT just to enter your giveaways! Ha! But it's a nice bonus. I have your podcasts saved to my desktop and I will be sure and post feedback once I have had a chance to listen to them a couple of times. I am one of those people that throws a ton of podcasts on my desktop and listens to them all day long... and a couple of gaming and movie podcasts are among the many I regularly download. So you are good company. I wish you well over the holiday season!

Thank you John! I greatly appreciate the picture and kind words.  Especially since the picture has some of my favorite stuffs in it! I see Dwight from The Office, The Hulk, Shaggy, and a good ol' thumbs up! Later!

Risen 2 from Deep Silver

Risen 2 and Dead Island Riptide!

Hey there.  Guess who scored a free copy of Risen 2 by Deep Silver?!?!  Yup, this guy!  I entered a Twitter contest not too long ago and about a week or so ago, I get a direct message on Twitter saying that I'm a winner.  How awesome is that?!?!  I've enter all kinds of stuff online and what not and I rarely win anything.  I think this may be one of the first things that I have actually won online!  And it's a game!  I'll admit that I haven't cracked open this bad boy but I'll definitely be popping it my Xbox 360 tonight!

Pictured above...  NOT a goofy face!  lol

I included the above picture because... well... why not.  lmao!  First, I thought it was cool that the Risen 2 game came in the mail on the same day as the Game Informer with Dead Island Riptide on the cover.  It made me believe that some way, some how, Deep Silver made sure I got it with another Deep Silver for me to read up on.  Secondly, the wife asked why I make "goofy" faces in my pictures.  First things first, my dear...  I do not believe my face is goofy and... what's wrong with goofy faces?  lmao  Just wanted to share that small conversation between the wife and I.  Actually, most of our conversations can be summed up that way.  It's one the reasons why I love her.

I haven't played any of the Risen games.  What do you guys think of them?  Good, bad?  Worth spending a generous amount of time on?  Let me know!  Later!

Check out Risen 2 and Dead Island Riptide on Amazon!

God of War Saga Winner - Persist

Hey there.  I wanted to give a shout out to the winner of the God of War Saga giveaway.  The winner, Persist, made a special request upon winning the giveaway.  He entered to win, but couldn't wait and ended up buying the game before he was chosen as the winner.  In lieu of the game, we decided on a $30 PSN network card.  I want to keep my winners happy, you know.  lol  You can't really provide a picture of PSN codes so I told him that I would give him a winners post regardless!

Persist can be followed on Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, and many other social media outlets.  He's created quite a few music videos that are pretty awesome.  If you love the hip hop scene, you should check out his music at PersistMuzik.  Congrats, Persist!  Hope you stick around and enjoy the site!  Later!

Punchtab Top Points Earner for September Winner

Hey there.  Last month, I announced that I would give a $5 prize to the top points earner on Punchtab.  It's my way of rewarding you guys for tweeting, commenting, +1inning, liking on FB, and visiting.  Punchtab will award you 100 points for doing any of those actions and at the end of the month, I'll review the leaderboard and award the top spot a $5 cash prize via PayPal or a $5 Amazon giftcard.  Not all of us have Paypal so an Amazon giftcard is a good alternate.  If there is a tie, I'll assign a number to the top spots and have random.org select the winner for me.  So let's get to it!  Our first winner is...

Christian Ampoloquio!  Congrats, my friend!  You win money!  2nd place missed the prize just 100 points!  So close!  The new month starts today and we'll see who will take the top spot on Nov. 1st!  Don't forget to comment, tweet, and all the other good stuff to rack up those points!  Good luck!  Later!

Dead Island Game of the Year Winner

Hey there.  It's time to announce a winner of the Dead Island Game of the Year Edition for the PS3 or Xbox 360!  But first, I asked you guys which is your favorite zombie flick and it was pretty close between Zombieland and Shaun of the Dead.  Personally, I like them both but I would give the slight nod to Zombieland over Shaun of the Dead.  Shaun of the Dead is a great homage to all zombie cliches but I like the originality of Zombieland and Bill Murray's, "Garfield, maybe." is one funny as hell line in the movie!!!  Ok... enough blabber!  And the winner is...

Time to announce a winner of the God of War Saga giveaway!  This was one of the more popular giveaways that I've had and it just comes to show that Kratos is one popular character.  I asked what God of War games you guys have not played and it's pretty clear that most of you have played them all.  If anything, the PSP titles were the ones that didn't get as much play time.  Anyways, time to announce the winner!  And the winner is...

Final Fantasy XIII-2 Winner

Hey there.  It's time to announce a winner!!!  I asked you guys which Final Fantasy game was your favorite and there was no doubt that the majority love Final Fantasy 7.  Final Fantasy 6 came a close second!  Personally, I'll always give Final Fantasy 7 the edge since that was the first FF game in which I pulled all nighters to play.  Anyways, we are not here to reminisce.  We are here to announce the winner of Final Fantasy XIII-2.  And the winner is...
