Not in, but just saying cheers on your continued giveaways! :)
Not in but thank you for this. Good luck to all
Thanks for your generousity, Dzsono! +1

Not in.
Not in as I just won. Just want to wish you all good luck.
And thanks Dzsono for this week's giveaway.
Ok, I own zero Ultima games but apparently this is the best of the best and since exactly no one else is in, maybe this is a sign - so count me IN!

The best and funniest comic evah!

Giveaway idea: Ask people to guess the kind of pet that you own - I had much fun with this concept with What Kind of Dog Do I Own? - He's a pure-breed dog that I adopted from an animal shelter so I posted an AKC breed list - it was great fun ;-)
Not in, but +1. I love the World Cup! My wife is Brazilian though, so she is insufferable when Brazil plays :)
I am not in, just want to say thanks!!

But here are some strips I like

I have the Ultima collection on CD, so I'm not in.
Shame I can't enter for Momo1991.

Thanks for another giveaway.

You said to just ask for exceptions to the 200 rep requirement, so could I please have an exception in order to enter this giveaway? If so, please count me in. Thank you. +1

PS: It's not a traditional comic strip, but The Onion's "News in Photos" is a lot like a comic strip, with a picture and some (usually) funny text. URL is http://www.theonion.com/features/news-in-photos/

I'm in.

Here is an idea for a giveaway in the future. Make it so in order to enter, you have to create a cover for the game you are entering for with Microsoft Paint. And the cover has to either be funny or look really bad. :)
Not in, but thanks.

Solve world hunger. That's a tough one.

Beyond trusting there will be some new technology that will expand production (which has been the only way we have ever dealt with food distribution issues), the only way to solve world hunger would be to make major changes to distribution systems, cultural norms, and food science.

It's fairly well known that raising only type of animal for consumption requires far more time and input of resources than plants. Simply reducing the amount of meat available and focusing that wasted production on protein rich vegetables would increase the food supply dramatically.

The amount of food that people purchase and throw out is atrocious and that's just individuals. Think about all the food that grocery stores throw out, or all the food that never reaches a grocery store and is tossed at distribution centres, There's no way to completely eliminate waste but maybe supplies of those foods should be adjusted so that not so much is being wasted. Maybe lean more on the side of not meeting demand instead of having it always available.
Not in. +1 Dzsono
thanks for the giveaway and using my idea!!

In & +1!!

Also I won't be competing in my challenge since I had the idea and it wouldn't be fair to the rest :P :P :P
