"FREE* Dinner for Two at Olive Garden"


Click on that lovely place setting to play

I've been wanting to try a screen-casted video for a while and this is the result. I've been seeing these ads for weeks, promising to reward my fairly common knowledge of popular culture with complimentary meals. This is the result of a week or so of unexpected pop quizzes, followed by a dash to start up the screen-casting software.

aggh I'm hungering hungering for screencasting, and this was a delightful entry into it. The description made it sound like you were going to go through the entire entire process, though... of course, we all know that there is no free meal at the olive garden. There's some awful catch.

yffqp = "ya fuck-up," which is a rough term of self-loathing, if you ask me.

That was great, I loved the music, it completly helped out in the idea that this stuff is all fake or like Sean said that there is some awful catch. The numerous chances to win enforced it even more!

xongyd-the name is "gyd" find him and put an x on him!

too bad you never showed the shitstorm of popups and spyware that was installed onto your computer after clicking those banners. that's what i really want from any screencasting.

one time i ate five bowls of soup and like four plates of salad for free at olive garden. i was young and in love, then.

I was really hoping you were going to instruct us how to get a free meal. Now that I watched the post, I think this is even better. It's so tempting to click those banners. Kinda proves there is no such thing as a free meal.

what about left eye? I'm pretty sure I just watched that entire thing and saw absolutely no love for lisa left-eye lopez. fuck you, olive garden. unless I'm wrong. I think the best parts were when my eyes started checking out the ad a bit more, and focusing on the asterisk and accompanying "see detailz," or whatever. neat.

"qhwsk" is obviously some gimmicky new kind of implement for beating eggs.

That's the yardstick of contest awards, dinner for two at the pigshit hole.

Great work.

Congrats on the job as well.
