There is still this so called "skill" involved. You still have to post in 25 words or less why you deserve it or something. SO it's still the same as before, just with something extra added to the comp.

but that's only there for legal reasons making it a pretty shallow addition, could've easily just skipping the AMD logo hunting section

It's only there for legal reasons in the first play anyway! And clearly the competition was to get more views etc as it's probably good from a marketing point of view.

I said as much, I know and have no issue for more page views but I personally don't find the competition fun hence why I won't be entering

I meant to say place instead of play if you were wondering :P
Anyway, I see your point. It's all personal opinion anyway. Free choice to enter and do any competition I guess. :)

There's been 8 different AMD logo stories. Someone screwed this up big time.

You only need to find 7 logos... if you've got 7, your entry is valid.

Seems to be at odds with what's actually been done and what you just said.

EDIT: The closing date for entries should really be mentioned in the main article as well as in the terms and conditions.

It would be cool if they made this actually challenging.. It would be easier writing 25 words why I was bored out of my **** doing this

I was originally going to write what joy I had thinking about potentially denying someone a much needed upgrade :lol:
