There you have it, the winner of The Godfather II “Name the Aeropause Crew” contest is nissac830.  For his troubles, nissac830 gets one copy of The Godfather II for the Xbox 360 console.  Thanks to Electronic Arts for providing the contest copy and we thank everyone for jumping in for the contest.  We will also be reading off some of the funnier entries this evening on the podcast.  Click the jump for the technical aspects of the contest.

For the contest, each name was entered into an Excel Spreadsheet and Ariel 10 point font was used.  After selecting the area and printing it out on an HP OfficeJet 4215v, the cells were cut identically with a pair of high end cutting shears that were recently sharpened on a sharpening stone.  At that point each name was meticulously folded in half and put into a hat.  The hat was brown in color and had the Catapiller Heavy Equipment logo.  It was a selected for the drawing due to its approximate location to the drawing area, and for its heavy stitching.  Seth Haygood, was then brought into the room to assist with the drawing.  This was done to make sure that the drawing was done by a semi-independent third party to promote fairness.  The name was drawn in a random, haphazard fashion with nissac830’s name being on the open piece of paper that was selected from the hat.

Don’t you wish you would have done something else with your time than have read that block of text.
