Were there really that many people up watching the SuperBowl?

Or was something else happening at 5.30 this morning causing people to rush to the interwebs?

I think it's more to do with people overseas getting wind of this thread:

It's had over 100,000 views in just over a week.

Superstardom beckons.

Yeah it was that thread mostly... about 5500 viewers of the PC game forum when I looked about that time this morning.

 

[Mucky Pup]

Was wondering why over 1300 people where reading the PC games forum. Usually only 100 or so through the day at any one time.

Thread was on the front page of Reddit. Mystery solved.

Remeber when Intel broke the news of the SB chipsets. I think the count of people on the forums was huge. a lot of other forums quoting us here.

What game company doesn't let their customers remap the buttons? That's just weird.

I'm pretty sure the game company will realise the PR opportunity here.

Like Robbotw says in that thread, I'm surprised Gibbo hasn't inserted a few choice deals at the top of page 1 .

I did drop the GTX 480 deal in there.

But in all fairness to just drop loads in there that have nothing to do with gaming would not be good, so gotta keep it real.

I hope Gareth gets recognised and the ability to remap the keys so he can play the game how he wants to play it.
