    I'm serious as a raidleader on progression night-- if you haven't left a comment over on this WoW Insider Dell notebook giveaway, you better queue up and do it right now, because today's your last chance (the whole thing ends at noon). And if you have left a few already (the contest has been going for eight days), go leave your last one now (on that post, not on this post-- all this post gets you is on Santa's naughty list) because you get to post one per day.Right smack dab at noon Eastern, WoW Insider's Dan O'Halloran is going to close the comments and choose one lucky winner to take home the whole package-- notebook, WoW schwag, FigurePrints figure, and those Blizzard beta keys. And if you did enter, check your email in the next 48 hours, because that's how he's going to make it the luckiest day of your life.Yes, even luckier than that Tuesday you heard school got closed, and Blizzard decided not to do maintenance so you could play all day, and you discovered a whole six-pack of soda in the back of the fridge that you didn't even know you had, and the donut truck crashed outside your house, and the donut guy came knocking on the door asking you to help them clean up the donuts before they all went bad. Even luckier than that.

    We're really starting to get down to the wire now-- there's only two chances left for you to enter to win in WoW Insider's big Dell notebook giveaway. To enter, all you need to do is comment on that post (not this post-- commenting on this post gets you nothing but the satisfaction of making your mark on our site), and you get to do it once per day, so since the contest ends tomorrow, you have only today and tomorrow left to leave comments.Now, the contest has gone on for six days so far, and there are about 31,000 comments on there, so your chances of winning right now if you've left a comment every day are about 6 in 31k, or about 5,166 to 1 by my math (and my math is usually wrong). I won't lie-- those chances are pretty slim, but I will say that (if my math is correct, and it probably isn't), you have a better chance of winning this laptop than bowling a 300 game (11,500 to 1), being struck by lightning (576k to 1), and getting injured by fireworks (19,556 to 1). With that kind of perspective, your chances are pretty good, wouldn't you say?Go leave a comment on the contest post anyway-- the odds are (probably) in your favor.

    It's Wednesday, and that means there's only three chances left to put a comment on our sister blog WoW Insider's ginormous Dell notebook giveaway. Yes, the contest ends on Friday, and you can enter once per day, so today, tomorrow and Friday are your last chances to enter to win not only the swank Dell notebook (you get to choose either the Alliance or the Horde version above, not both), but all of the WoW-related swag that comes with it, including the collector's edition pets, a FigurePrints figure, and even five beta keys to upcoming Blizzard games. That's big time.To enter, go over to the WoW Insider post, and just put a comment (you've got to be 18 and a US resident, thanks lawyers). Remember that posting a comment on this Massively post will not enter you in the contest (but it should make you feel all warm and fuzzy inside, if our new commenting system is working the way it's supposed to). So go post a comment on WoW Insider, and then come back here and read about all MMOs. Sure, WoW is super popular, but we here at Massively know you want to read about lesser known MMOs, too.

    Have you seen WoW Insider's huge contest for that kitted-out WoW edition notebook from Dell? It is blowing up-- there are already over eleven thousand entries and counting. And did you know that you can actually enter once every day the contest is in effect, all the way until this coming Friday afternoon? Sure, with 11,000 people entering, your chances of winning are pretty slim. But if you've only posted once already, you could double them by posting today. And triple them by posting tomorrow. See where we're going with this?Run over to the WoW Insider contest post and put another comment up if you haven't already today (and in the meantime, you can drool over their writeup of the system and think how much money you'll save if you win). Sure, it's repetitive and mindless action with the slim promise of a great reward, but c'mon, we're MMO players. We're used to that by now, right?
