Chris could very well open a thread and ask for screen shots and offer no prize - Just a winner and people would still post screen shots like crazy. Offering up any prize at all is a very nice thing to do. “Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around.” —Leo Buscaglia Contact support@grindinggear.com to report issues relating to the game or forum.

I don´t even know how many stash tabs I have currently and I keep filling them up with trash in a matter of days, time 2 sort things out I guess -.-* So in my case I guess it wouldn´t make a big difference.

Good stuff. Will certainly enter the contest. What is the best way to make a screenshot in game? You can use the in game option(not sure how to do so yet tho) or are there better options to get better quality?	Posted by Ruffneck058#4491 on Jun 12, 2014, 6:09:42 AM Quote this Post
