We know it has been the cause of great amusement, and a grand challenge that was a joy to finally complete. We also know that the Microsoft Crack the Code competition stopped a few of you in your tracks.

So, we’d like to encourage everyone that may have given up early to have another crack. The comp closes at midnight tonight and with 25 grand in prizes to win, it’s worth having a last push at getting over the line.

Get into it here!

To everyone that not playing The Burning Crusade this weekend, the summer sun is doing its magic thing, hope you all get a slice of it this weekend!

Ben
