I've discovered Johnny Ive's prototype iPad right here on MR. As you can see, it's a veritable cornucopia of every fanboy's iPad dreams! Especially pizza, lots of pizza. 😀
Oddly enough, it was hidden amongst 20 different avatars of these MR members:
Doctor Q, iBlue, Melrose, rdowns, Eraserhead, MacNut, Peace, xChuckX, Cynicalone, iJohnHenry, techfreak85, stridemat, jessica., SilentPanda, Clix Pix, Tomorrow, Joro, Fun173, szark, and Abyssgh0st.
Yesterday, I was browsing the forums and came upon this post by rdowns. I noticed his avatar had changed and it seemed odd, especially given the thread he started. 😉
I began to notice lots of other folks' avatars had also changed so it got me very curious. Turned out it was a puzzle. 20 memebers had pieces of the puzzle in their avatars. I had a bad day at work today so I set out to see if I could put the puzzle together, a much better alternative.
By collecting the pieces I came across, I found the first 7 or 8 fairly easily. Then I started looking for other ones in the PRSI section. I collected a few more here and that's when it got hard. Noticing that many of the avatars were from top posters, I went to Doctor Q's Top 50 Posters Extrapolated thread. This lead me to some more, but I still was about 4 short. I searched for everything I could think of and had no luck. Finally, I bit the bullet and went to the Member list, determined to finish the game by grinding it out. 2000+ members later and recognizing there's some really weird avatars out there... I found it, Abyssgh0st's avatar. It was the final piece of the puzzle.
So that's it. I had lots of fun. Thanks to all of you who participated, it really made my day. It was so much better than work!🙂
