Did you miss us?

We're back! You may have noticed a total lack of a blog update yesterday. Our train was robbed by vile bandits seeking only to take us home, order 3 lbs of pasta from Pizza Hut, and play Grand Theft Auto 4. I haven't gotten to play enough to give my opinion, yet.

So far, though....well I was discussing it over IM with my good friend Skip (actually, we were discussing the rapidly growing hate for the 'is twittering' Facebook status update). I brought up my initial 'Meh' feeling over GTA4.

Skip: twitter = LAME
Skip: you social networkers
Kathleen: hahaha
Kathleen: you haters. so trendy
Kathleen: you know what I am hatin'
Skip: because we hate everything, it's easy for us to be on the forefront of hating things
Kathleen: nod. we're the tip of the hate spear
Kathleen: I'm hating GTA
Kathleen: well... not hating
Kathleen: but it isn't putting a baby in me the way that everyone promised it would
Skip: why on earth would you hate the Nobel-prize winning cure for cancer?
Kathleen: see above
Skip: GTA4 not only changes the landscape of gaming, it's sending badly-needed aid to Darfur
Kathleen: hahahahahaha
Skip: and is reducing our dependence on foreign oil
Kathleen: it is also running for VP with Obama
Kathleen: and reminding you to spay and neuter your pets
Skip: and it separates your recycling for you
Kathleen: it is crap lookin' - the way all GTA games have been
Skip: yep. I tried to warn people about that
Skip: "still feels and looks like a GTA game"
Kathleen: yep.
Kathleen: "Oscar worthy"
Skip: I would say it's CBS prime-time worthy

So, it should be noted that I've only seen about an hour's worth of the game so far. So, I'm really talking out of my ass. We also got hung up for a short while with the X360 loading screen freeze that Kotaku reported. After a couple of reboots it worked, though.

In other news, well... what other news is there? GTA has taken over the world, really. Last night, 16 of my friends were online and 14 of them were playing that frackin' game. The two that were not were probably watching a movie or at least thinking about it while sitting in their X360 dashboard.

Tonight we're heading out for trivia again! Wish us luck!

An Adventure to Portland!

Hello from the deep South, Fyreballers!

It has happened! Fyreball Global Campus North rode the rails south to Fyreball Global Campus South. Here is a brief photo chronicle of our adventures so far! Enjoy!




<---- Senator McCain got dressed up for the train ride.












<------------ Hockey/Hunter Brett loves Minnie's awesome new camo outfit!






















<----Pete loves to ride trains. The entire time he kept saying, "CHOOO!
CHOOO!"






<------------ Pete betrayed Hockey Brett's trust by waiting for him to fall asleep then carefully placing these hilarious googly eyes on his hat. He slept thinking he was safe and among friends while we were laughing at him.















<----------------- Inexplicably, Canada Michel has begun to behave even more like Farnsworth Bentley.


















<---------------- We all enjoyed lunch at the super hip and trendy Doug Fir. Deliciousness was enjoyed by all!

















<---------------

Senator Mike makes the super classy/trendy Doug Fir even more classy and trendy by MUGGING for the camera! GET IT? /me rolls eyes.













<----- At last! We're there! Fyreball Global Campus South™!












<-------

After that long meeting we went for a walk to get donuts! Delicious! Portland is so much warmer and sunnier than Seattle (although I heard that Seattle had a nice day today, too).









<---------------------

A taco truck! A friend of mine would be so thrilled to see this. I'm not a fan, as I enjoy food that does not have an exponentially higher chance of containing E. coli bacteria. However, this particular festive taco truck in Portland...was closed.






<---

Oh... dear....

At least the petals match Minnie's outfit!












Okay, that's all for today! More updates tomorrow! Some of us are staying overnight and currently enjoying happy hour together. My giant Sapporo beer now needs my attention. To see a few more pics be sure to visit this fyreball!
Also! We got a very awesome review over at Craveonline.com! Check it out!

Christmas in April

Oh my goodness, Fyreballers!

How did I get SO lucky? Last night's Lost was a HUMDINGER. Anyone who hasn't watched yet, don't read anything between the photos.


How frackin' bad ass was Ben?! He summoned the smoke monster! WTF?! The latest theory is now that Ben and Charles have some crazy Trading Places-esq rich bored dude bet going on that has gone WAY out of control. Okay, that's enough for now.



In other news -- it is a gamer's delight this weekend and next week! Sunday: I'm a pickin' up a copy of Mario Kart Wii! WEE HAAA! But eff that wheel. I'm not playin' with that thing.

Monday, Team Fyreball North heads South on a train to Portland for another Fyreball Summit. I shall report anything I can from it. I'll scour it for secrets intel...

Tuesday afternoon, I'll be riding the rails back home when GTA4 hits stores. How many of you will also be picking up that trash? I'm only going to play it so I can really know what I'm talking about when I talk about what crap the game is. I'm going to play a friend's copy, because I don't want those achievements showing up on my gamertag, either!

Should be a totally rad weekend!

Lost back tonight!

Sorry, Fyreballers --

Not much news on the Fyreball front. I'm so happy with all the good 'balls I've seen thrown around lately (you can always see our favorites in Staff Picks). You know my favorites are always the ones with stuff I haven't seen that people end up adding to and expanding the story. Like this Fyreball Defnop posted with a Cadbury commercial featuring a Phil Collins loving Gorilla. Of course, the downside is that I've had 'In the air tonight' stuck in my head all afternoon.

In other news: I'm trying to give up Coke for Pepsi. I very, very much enjoy Coke more than Pepsi - HOWEVER -- Coke doesn't offer points for DRM free music on Amazon.com. I love DRM free music more than I hate Pepsi and I love (sorta) free stuff more than I prefer Coke. Fact is, I'm going to drink at least a half-gallon of some sort of cola per day. I was collecting Coke points, but after a goodly amount of time the best thing I've ended up with is 1 year free subscription to Wired. That's great, but I drank an ocean of Coke for that... we'll see how quickly I can gain anything by my switch. I'm sure you're already breathless with anticipation!

Finally (and perhaps most importantly), Lost starts up again tonight! I have to admit that I don't really care that much for Ben's whiny daughter, but apparently whomever shot her mom and her boyfriend is about to start blowing stuff up all over the island. Explosions = win. Sadly, I didn't see much of my friend Sayid in the preview, but I'm sure he'll do something dashing.

If it's going to be that kind of a party...

Some of you might be able to finish the title of today's blog. Some of you might not. I'm going to leave it at that.

Blogger is about to have an outage, so this will be a quick post!

Pete is in the news! For real! Check it out here! Tech Confidential.com talked to him the other day.

Lots is happening behind the scenes here. We're planning big things! So big that they can't be accomplished properly without bringing the twin forces of Fyreball together as one (like Voltron, but with fewer giant metal cat robots and more unicorns)! Monday the megaforces of Fyreball Global Campus North™ will board a train to meet with Fyreball Global Campus South™. There we shall meet to decide the fate of the one ring.

In the meanwhile, Senator Mike and Canada Michel will start the initial gears turning toward these additional new adventures and explorations on the Internets.

Sorry this one has to be so vague and brief, but secrecy makes things feel more important and exciting, don't you think?

So say we all.

Welcome to Earth!

Happy Earth Day, Fyreballers!

It was a lovely Earth Day here at Fyreball Global Campus North™, too. Hockey Brett and Canada Michel help to celebrate Earth Day everyday by riding their bikes 18+ miles to and from work. Senator Mike always recycles the scores of empty beer cans and bottles from all the booze he and his whippersnapper friends drink. Sadly, Pete drives around in a big ol' truck that actually runs by killing an acre of rain forest every mile. However, I save lots of electricity every weekend when I don't turn on any other lights in my place while I play video games. That's right! We love the Earth (except Pete, but you can't win them all, Earth. Sorry.)!

We also love Facebook! If you haven't installed our app - you should! Please, be sure to use it and Fyre your favorite Fyreballs to your friends, too. The more people who use the Facebook app and give us feedback on it the better we can make it. We're hungry for inputs! We love it!

We're discussing some of the changes for the next push and some of them are pretty exciting. I hope I'll be able to talk some of the space brains into letting me share some of the details sooner rather than later -- wish me luck! As soon as I can share infos (sometimes shortly before) you'll see it here.

Remember, we've still got a Figure Print to giveaway! Tell your friends and friends of friends, because this might be the easiest and most fun way of getting one there is!

Finally - and most importantly! We have our first baby baller! MAdBOMBER's son, James, was born on 4/16! Isn't he adorable?! He so cute! I'm sure he'll be using the interwebz in no time. Everyone be sure to welcome this Junior Baller to the team! HURRAY!

Rome was not built in a day, but...

Turns out Rome was founded in a day... according to the calculations of Roman scholar and writer, Marcus Terentius Varro Roman scholar and writer. While we're not quite building Rome here, we're trying to make something totally radical and that takes time.

Over the weekend we had some great activity! Keep it up, team! We also turned a switch on our ads that lets them have images - you might have noticed them, but we hope they haven't bothered you. We spent a goodly amount of time deciding on where to put it where it would be the least intrusive. Hopefully, by now you've managed to gain the ability to tune out anything that doesn't appeal to you. I know I have. The ads have always been there, but they were text only (even easier to ignore). If you're wondering how the content of the ad is chosen, well, that's Google's doing. Who knows what mysteries lurk there...

Over the weekend I didn't do quite as much gaming as I would've wanted. I've been slightly lax on my WoW playing, because I wanted to try to beat Super Mario Galaxy, but then I started playing Zach and Wiki. That game is rad so far (but people tell me it gets crappy at the boss battle on the ice level. Anyone else got intel on this?). Despite these distractions, my hunter is still carefully rep grinding her way to a skelepony with the help of her dear friend Thundertoes.

In other WoW related news -- we gave away our first Figure Print! We've got another left to give, too! So, we're still looking for those WoW players/Fyreball users that are the cat's meow!

The first of the Figure Prints went to WoW-loving Fyreballer, Amorvius! Congrats to you, dude! Here's what he had to say about it:

I like to give an incredible thanks to Fyreball for this wonderful prize! It will have a place of honor on my desk soon I hope. I shall continue spreading the word about the awesomeness of Fyreball! See you all online!

You, too, can earn a likeness of your WoW character to proudly display at your home, office, or home office! Just check out the details here!

All of this AND this week Lost returns! Hurray! Sayid! I've missed you so much!

Happy Birthday, Conan O'brien!

Hello, Fyreballers!

We're at Friday again and what a beautiful day it is, too. This weekend Seattle is expecting rain mixed with snow! Fantastic! It will be a great weekend to celebrate the birthday of Conan O'brien by staying in and watching some of my favorite episodes of The Simpsons that he wrote.

In other news, we've very nearly selected the winner of the first Figure Print Giveaway! I'll be announcing the lucky and stellar Fyreballer on Monday! Until then, keep up the good fun we've seen all around the site. I've seen tons of cool uses of Fyreball lately - to tell stories, to help with Psych finals, and to share general Internets hilarity. Keep it up! You guys make me more popular when you send me that stuff. I send it on to my friends and they think I'm a whiz at finding it.

Meanwhile, Qbix is organizing this weekend's Fyrefight! To switch stuff up a bit we're going to play Call of Duty 4! Check out this Fyreball for all the details.

Fyreball <3s GameVee!

Greetings All!

Today is an exciting day at Fyreball! If you're cool enough to be watching videos over at GameVee.com you'll notice a wee "FYRE THIS" button there. Guess what that does?! BAM! You got it! It will Fyre off whatever video you're watching to any of your friends. Go check it out now! How cool is that?!

In other news - Many of the Top Men got to go to meetings with other Top Men today. Much businesses were discussed and deals were dealt. More on that as it develops (or NDAs expire).

Back on the homestead, benevolent benefactors and champions of the very first Fyreball Halo 3 Tournament - 4 Kids in a Sandbox found the four worthy fyreballers they decided to give their Legendary Map Pack Codes to! Bravo! I love this, because this way we've doubled our number of winners.

Speaking of winners...tomorrow I get to announce who the very first recipient of the Figure Prints giveaway is! If you love World of Warcraft (or know someone who does) this might be the easiest way to get your hands on one of these puppies. They are awesome and in high-demand. Once we've given away that one - we've got another one in the pipe, so do not despair! Tell your friends, invite them to join us! We've got more to share.

Education and Sharing Day!

Salutations Fyreballers!

Today was exciting and fun as ever here at Fyreball! We had a visitor from the South - Smart Micevans, head of making things work at Fyreball came up to visit and share brain thoughts with all of us. Much discussion was had and merriments were made.

Last night was the final round of our first Fyreball Halo 3 Tournament. Team Endangered Species fought mightily against Team 4 Kids in a Sandbox, but 4KiaS emerged victorious (but where are my screens, bois?!)! You can read all about the match here! The members of the winning team all won a gift basket - including download codes to get the Halo 3 Legendary Map Pack for free. However, the team members:The Big Ease, Kebam, Rowando, Bizmark, ZeroXistance led by team Cap'n GuzzieStyle have decided to give the codes to a more deserving and/or needy Fyreballer! That's really frackin' awesome of these cats. If you're needing a code and you're a good sort - be sure to stop by their Giveaway thread. Don't worry about the team, too. I'm currently searching for a proper replacement for their prize. No one walks away from an epic win empty handed!

That said, we're still working on getting those t-shirts printed up. Mark my words, once Senator Mike settles on the proper shirt it will be EPIC!

Meanwhile, tonight Team Fyreball heads out to an evening of pub trivia! We could win fabulous prizes! Wish us luck as we dig through our brains for useless knowledge in competition against tons of college students who have no scruples about using their iPhone to cheat.

Taxday and Tragedy

Greetings, Fyreballers!

Today is a much dreaded day in the USA - Tax Day. For those of you that have filed already -- bravo! I ended up getting the most pathetic refund in the history of refunds this year, but a year where you don't have to pay is a good one. So, with my refund I am going to buy about 3/4ths of a pint of domestic beer to celebrate!

This is also the day the Titanic sank in 1912. Killing about 1500 people and setting in motion the series of events that led to Celine Dion singing "My Heart will Go On."


Tonight, the final match will be played in the Fyreball Halo Tournament, too. Just in time, as the winners will all get codes to download the Legendary Map Pack for Halo 3 and those also come out today!

In other news, tomorrow we get to knock all of our heads together about the stuff we hope to get on the menu for the next push. If you've got something you really want to see more than anything else - speak now! Be heard! We are listening!

Finally, my heart goes out to my beloved Red Wings. They managed to really mess things up in the final moments against Nashville last night. With under four minutes remaining in the third period Detroit let the Preds score two goals in less than 9 seconds -- pathetically losing 3 to 5 in Game 3 of their Western Conference quarter-final series. Fantastic. Let's hope those old farts suck it up and stop sucking before the next game.

Work from Home Monday

What is the only thing better than a Work from Home Friday? Well, nothing. Something nearly as awesome is a Work from Home Monday! I've spent the day working hard sans pants - how about you?

Well, recon is away and having fun on someones avatar in Halo 3. Our first official Fyreball Halo 3 Tournament is still underway. Come on you guys, sack up and play each other already! I'm looking forward to seeing some more details like these!

Today Canuck Michel and Pete are down at Fyreball Global Campus South™ meeting with the space brains down there to discuss the details on the next push. Every single feature and improvement is something we want to do, but we have to balance limited time and resources to maximize awesome. It is always difficult for us to determine the differences between needs and wants. That's where your feedback and input is so key. We put a great deal more weight in what you say, because you're the reason we're here. Never hesitate to offer your opinions and ideas - we love them and they bring us ever closer to awesome!

This week we'll be finding a home for the first of our Figure Prints! That's right - first! We've got another one to give out right after the first one. Be sure to alert your World of Warcrafting friends this is one of the best places to find yourself rich with Figure Prints!

Recon is GO!

Beloved Fyreballers!

The day has come. We have awarded the honorable Fyreballer with Recons.

We contacted this secret person in their secret place secretly and asked them how they felt about Fyreball and being the chosen one:

So, lemme see if I've wrapped my noggin around this one. I get to be one of the first people to experience the awesome community experience that is Fyreball, I get to be dialed into an insane amount of interesting and hilarious content, and, like a little sugar-soaked cherry on top, I get sweet prizes? Where do I sign up? Honestly, it's just too much. And I can't wait to see what's next.

He then giggled, spun in a circle, and vanished into a cloud of sparkles and win.

If you have not been contacted you were not the recipient. That doesn't mean that we don't love you or that we do not have more to give. We've got many great give-a-ways in the pipeline (including the giving out of the first [did I say "first"? That implies there could be a second? hmmm...] of the Figure Prints next week!).

In fact, we have the Fyreball Halo Tournament this weekend! All the teams have signed up and you can read about them in the Official Fyreball Halo Tournament Fyreball! Along with a gift basket of various sundry items - the members of the winning team will recieve download codes for the Halo 3 Legendary Map Packs. We're gonna save you at least 8000 Spacebucks!

We're also still hammering out a few remaining tweaks with the Facebook Application. Your feedback so far has been priceless! Thank you! Other things that will help is if you can make sure to try to use the Facebook App to make a few Fyreballs everyday (it keeps us popular with the many apps available on Facebook) Also, don't forget to invite your friends!

Let's go RED WINGS!

Howdy, Fyreballers!

So, after the push yesterday Fyreball Global Campus North™ headed to ye olde Pumphouse for refreshing beverages and delicious mozzarella sticks to celebrate. That's where I found out from Hockey Brett and Montreal Michel that the NHL Playoffs have started already! I don't care about sports at all, really. Most of them cause me to have narcoleptic fits. However, I am from Michigan (specifically the Flint/Detroit areas). That means I could not escape two things growing up 1) hockey and 2) cars. I love the Red Wings, because they're old and they win everything. Right now, they are playing the Nashville Predators. I feel sorta bad for those Tennessee-based hockey hicks. It reminds me of the way I felt watching Patrick Swayze play Orry Main in North and South. Sure, they're nice and all, but the Civil War is coming and their side is going to lose (by tons). Less than six minutes in and the Wings already scored. Good night, Preds.

Meanwhile on Fyreball! You may have noticed that we went down for a bit this afternoon. We're making a few small changes to get our Facebook app properly approved. If you're having any trouble be sure to let Brian know! He's created a Fyreball just for you to ask questions so he can help you puzzle it out. Also, if you have any opinions about it, ideas on ways you'd like to use it, be sure to share those with us, too! It will help us out tons if invite your friends to use it! You can invite up to 15 peeps to check it out everyday! Go! Invite! Be merry!

This weekend we're doing the first Fyreball Halo Tournament. Tomorrow, I'll let you know which teams play what. It will be up to you guys to find a time to play against the team you are assigned. If there are questions - Deacon will be around to answer! I'll also let you know more about what sort of fabulous prizes you can win!

xxoo

*none of the prizes shown above actually available...

Facebook App is LIVE!

Hey, Fyreballers!

HURRAY! We finished the Facebook App! Hot Damn! We've submitted it to the mighty FB overlords for their approval, but I couldn't wait to share it with you! It is live now just for your beloved Fyreballers. We did a small push this afternoon - so you might notice a few subtle changes, too.

What I'd love to see you do now is download the Facebook Application and offer us feedback! Invite your Facebook friends and help them out with your superior and senior Fyreballing skills. As ever, we're looking to all of you elite chosen beta testers to help us put this app through its paces! Click on the link that should be at the top of your Fyreball inbox now (if it isn't try logging out and back in... or click here). That will link you right to the app and automagically link your Facebook and Fyreball accounts for extreme justice.



We've also added some tweaks to your friends lists. Now you can have "Favorite Friends." This is a designation to give certain Fyreball friends that they never see. No one needs to know if they are on your Favorite Friends list or not! We're trying to help the very popular Fyreballers with lots of friends better organize everyone.


When we show you a short list of your friends we only show your favorite friends - when you hit show all friends everyone else will fill in. Your favorite friends will also show up in the Facebook App. Also, now on your Notifications settings page, you can chose to receive notifications only from your Favorite Friend's actions.

In the coming weeks, we'll use these labels to help empower you to better organize and sort your inbox, lists, and groups as well!

In other news, Fyreball got props from Mr. Dean Takahashi over on VentureBeat! Woo hoo! This also just in: Pete is no longer hardcore!

Hey, wait! Why are you still reading this silly blog! Go get the Facebook app now and check it out!

Tween Monday and Wednesday

Greetings, all!

I am really, officially weary of Seattle winter. It sucks. It is cold. It rains all the time. When I tell people that they assure me that Seattle summertime is the right time. It is a fantastic season to live in this area. I tell you what, if it isn't...heads will effing roll, my friends.

Pete was down South in Sunny San Francisco today pimpin' and grinnin' for folks and spreading the good word about Fyreball. He's a VIP and he met with other VIPs about VIS (Very Important Stuff). In the meanwhile, we've all been hard at work on the Facebook Application! We're so close to being done that we're going to need you to set the table and wash your hands. Actually, strike that and reverse it, moving on.

This weekend will be the first ever Fyreball Halo 3 Tourney! Deacon started a fyreball all about it and it can be found here! I am currently tracking down some very kick-butt prizes for the top three teams. The prizes may include T-shirts, but will not be limited to them (they are still being printed, apparently by the slowest press on Earth). There will probably not be unicorns in the prize packs, but they will be put together by the world's top most authority on unicorns and unicornery.

Back Monday!

Oh, glorious sunshine!

How sweet the light is when you look on it after facing the inky void of certain death. I survived Death Flu 2008! Hurray! I emerge with a new-found zeal for life and craving for a Chicken and Brie Boxty from Wilde Rovers in Kirkland.

In the meanwhile, Fyreball's own Cooking Mama, Brian G, has been whipping up a sweet Lil Facebook app soufflé for you. He beat the eggs into a frothing mess, rendered the chocolate out from scratch, expertly folded it all together... Now, the app in in the oven. He will let us know when it is ready to consume with ferocity and love. It takes time and skill to make sure it is perfect (or at least will not kill anyone)!

Meanwhile, last Friday there was another wonderful Fyrefight! Thanks again to GuzzieStyle and Qbix for getting it all together. I was still way out of commission. So, I was happy to have you guys take up the gauntlet. Deacon and I have been discussing the possibility of an Official Fyreball Halo 3 Tourney in the coming weeks. Who'd be into that? I might be... we might even have prizes!

Speaking of prizes. It has been decided that we'll give away Recon sometime this week. I'll let you know when, but we are always watching.

I was also wondering if anyone out there plays Anarchy Online? Be sure to shoot me an email if you play -- I'm looking for help with that game!

Of course, that doesn't mean I've given up on WoW -- in fact --- I HIT 40. I HAS A MOUNT. With all my nearly dying I almost forgot to tell you now I'm riding a dumb purple chocobo. So, most of my 40 has been spent joylessly rep grinding in Undercity so I can get myself a skelepony. I hate chocobos. As soon as I got one I'll be rocking proper quests again.

Until then...this lvl 40 BElf hunter is gonna rock some lvl 6 Greater Duskbats in the face!

Death Flu 2008

*cough*
I'm still on death's door. I'm using what little energy I have to let all of my lovely fyreballers know that top men are working on a cure.

I'm not the only one here who has fallen victim to this horrible, sniffling, coughing, fever bug from crusty hell - Pete also fell to it this week. We're both useless, but thankful beyond measure to the healthy members of the team that have kept Fyreball running strong!

I plan to spend the weekend drinking lots of fluids, working to get better and back on the internets with you guys the way I'd like to be.

In the meantime, I see you've been busy out there! With homework help fyreballs and even polls! Bravo! I love it keep it up.

Okay, I'm starting to feel a bit dizzy, but I'll leave you with this - we're giving away the recon next week. I won't announce the name of the winner (unless they want us to), but will tell you when it has been given away.
(no xx or oo - I don't want you to catch this thing, gang)

Happy Fools' Day!

Zup, fools!

So, we did consider doing some elaborate April Fools' Day joke today, but we didn't. I hate pranks that involve making someone feel like something horrible has happened only to reveal "HA! No! You don't have cancer!" those are lame. I like ones like You Tube did today, but I do sorta wish they did have a video of a Crazy Chihuahua after I got rickroll'd. The internets was so full of prankery and tomfoolery that it would've been silly to try to compete. Instead, fyreball is the best place to go to see it all in one spot before you get, as enlightened sophisticate Ashton Kutcher once said, "punk'd."

In other news, I am still unwell. The Doctor's official diagnosis was strep throat and pink eye. Sickness accomplished! :( Today, however, I'm armed with prescription remedies and potions. I should be back to full health bars soon.

Meanwhile, I've been gearing up for the Battlestar Galactica premiere on Friday by watching season 3 on DVD. Lord, this show is amazing and wonderful. There just isn't any-frackin-thing better in the 'Verse (since they cancelled Fyrefly...err... I mean Firefly). This will serve as the first and only warning that I will probably start to use the word 'frack' again.

Finally, lots of you have been asking about recon. It is understandable. Everyone is excited to know what's going on with it and when it will be given away! Well, the time has come, germs and gents -- the answers can be found here.
