Hey guys
The short story: Please help me win a R30 000 (ZAR), about $3.7k, gaming computer by "liking" the following video: http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=10150334448277693
Details: So I don't know if many people follow the electronic sports scene, but its really picking up in USA as well as Europe, and has been picking up in Asia for pretty long. We in South Africa, are trying to follow this trend as well. Having placed in the top eight of a StarCraft II tournament I was entered into this competition, which is giving us opportunities never seen before in competitive gaming and electronic sports in South Africa.
Thanks!

hi this is Shekhar from india
please take a look at following link
http://www.helpgaurav.com/index.asp
Gaurav Tandon is a 34 year old professional working with Datacraft Asia (a private IT firm) in Mumbai, India. His small family comprises wife, a 6 year old son. He has two elder sisters both are happily married and a brother who is serving as Captain in the Indian Army.
Gaurav was detected with AML (a type of Blood Cancer) in November 2008. He has responded well to chemotherapy, but must get a Bone Marrow Transplant as the only possibility for a cure. Unfortunately the HLA typing test of his siblings is negative. Doctors have therefore strongly recommemded a Non-Related Allogenic transplant. Since such transplantations are rarely performed in India, there is a high chance that we have to take him to places like Singapore, UK or the USA.
Gaurav's wife is a teacher in my college

The Programmer
My name is Jasper Fung. I devoted myself to game development since Summer in 2013. I live in Hong Kong, with my lovely wife and two energetic children. You are about to hear and discuss my gaming voyage, a compilation of failures, disappointment and frustrations. I hope you enjoy scolding at my stupidity, lacking planning or direction by replying this post. I'll check and reply as frequent I can. You can find my latest work via the profile.
Played far more video games than any ordinary teens would had in my youth, I played my first game, Romance of Three Kingdom 1 by Koei, on a PC 80286 with a 20Mb harddisk in it back to 1990. Since then I enjoyed much in the RTK sequels, the epic Warcraft, Starcraft and Diablo series (which further deteriorate my studies). At the edge of being kick out from the University I managed to complete the Mechanical Engineering Degree after the SARS virus year (2003) in Hong Kong. My first job as an equity trader was breathtaking and I still working in banking till now.
What the... I spent 2 hours here just to hear you actually still working in a bank? Hell yes. And I will continue the story tomorrow.
Hello to all!!
Thank you for letting me in on your forum community.
I am 58 years old and technologically "disabled", hence my joining this forum in an attempt to stay up to date with things I have NO KNOWLEDGE of!
I am based in Kraaifontein which is a suburb of Cape Town, South Africa.
Looking forward to posts and questions from likeminded people suffering from the same inadequacies, amnesias and insecurities regarding the new technologies we are subjected to!
Love life, no matter what challenges it produces.

Of limited means, subsisting via a state old age grant and the patronage of family and friends. Unmarried. Having escaped the tender trap?, still trying to figure out whether to be sad or glad.
Life journey to date, probably a mirror image of the sojourn of my fellow travelers. Days spent practicing the flute, drinking red wine, watching television. Interested in politics. Given the current international circumstances, who wouldn't be. Not much more to tell, I suppose...
Welcome to the xda family.
Cheers.
Thanks. Hopefully some kind soul will help me fix my phone.
