Honestly Twinksmasher, I agree with you. I absolutely love Scott and Randy’s show and they seem like the nicest guys on Earth. That is why I let it go for so long. But all I wanted was for them to say either “sorry we lost the prize” or “we’ll get it to you in x of days”. SOMETHING.

Mr. Dissapointedfan, you claim that you won this ‘prize’, yet have not given the episode number in which your name was called as a contest winner, or offered any proof they did not give you said prize if you truly were the contest winner. And badgering Randy like that sounds kind of childish. Scott & Randy have lives outside of contests in the Instance, and if they truly wronged you like this, I’d say let it go- I doubt they meant to. But at least be mature about it- this comment just seems to be a long, run-on piece of hatred.

Let me preface this by saying that I really wish I did NOT have to post this comment. I have been a long time listener and supporter of Scott and Randy and everyone involved with The Instance. That being said I feel as if I need to let people know about how The Instance has been lying, not holding up to promises they make, and not caring if they falsely advertise. What do I mean by all this? Well, I was a contest winner on the show a while back. They announced my name on the air and I won 2 months of Wow on a game card. I was very happy and excited to hear my name called. Especially since my job had just been outsourced overseas and I didn’t think I could afford to play WoW anymore. Anyway I emailed the boys to claim my prize and didn’t get a responce. So I politely tried again. Eventually I got Randy to write me back and said he’d “look into it”. I didn’t understand what that meant, didn’t they have the prize already? Isn’t it as easy as just sending me the code? I guess not. Anyway, I did not want to see like a bother so I left a couple weeks go by before contacting Randy again. Sent him another email very politely asking the status of my prize and got nothing in responce. Again I waited patiently and tried again. I explained in the email that I didn’t want to be a bother and that if there is some issue just to let me know. Randy replied with a game code … that didn’t work. I emailed him back and told him it didn’t work and he said he’d “look into it” again. Well this time I let a few months pass by and I had almost forgotten about the whole thing when I saw he was online in google chat. So once more I politely asked him if he had a moment to chat and that I was a prize winner that was given a used/bad/fake code. Again I was almost completely ignored. I explained that I am sorry if I am bothering Mr. Randy Deluxe but I just want to be treated fairly and nicely and just want an answer either way if I am ever going to get my prize. To my disbelief he just said “i dont know” and then I was totally ignored (even though I could see he was not idle). I can’t believe someone from The Instance would treat their fans this way. And I understand its “just a wow game card”, but its the principle of it. I followed the directions and did what they asked to enter the contest, I won the contest fair and square, and not only did I never get the prize, I was ignored and swept under the carpet after several attempts to politely find out what the problem was. I know I’m not some important guest like Curt Schilling, or some developer from Blizzard, but I *USED* to be a FAN. And I would think Scott and Randy would treat their fans with respect. That’s just wrong. Anyway, I have resigned to the fact that I probably will never get the contest prize. Either they never had it in the first place, or someone else used the code first.

I will be boycotting The Instance and posting this up in as many places as I can. I would ask you to do the same if you don’t agree with false advertising and general rudeness. Again, it’s with a heavy heart that I do this. I loved The Instance, but I am also calling BS where I see it.

Just spent my whole day reading every single Extralife comic out there. Kudos to you, Scott!

Sometimes the “dumb” stuff turns out to have a purpose.

For the record: I use my pinky only when I have to get in deep… :p

Also, the need to barf is an imperative for survival. It lets our stomach evacuate stuff that might otherwise harm us.
