I’m sure none of you have noticed, but today is actually exactly one year since the first ever post on Hide Your Arms.

Without wanting to get too sentimental I’d like to thank everyone that’s sent me a sample for review, tipped me off on an item, or picked up the slack when I’ve made mistakes in posts, without you helping out HYA wouldn’t be what it is today.

There were some great answers to last weeks Dirty Microbe competition question, I’m going to try my best to get a few of them done when I’m in Tokyo, although I don’t know how successful I’ll be in my attempts to become the Grandrobo Battlemaster!

I ensured that the winner would be picked by the most random way I could possibly make it by assigning all the entrants a number and then asking this random number generator to pick a number for me. Apparently there are questions over just how random these number generators are, but I thought that it would do for this competition.

The number picked was 25…. but who was number 25?

Jon! Who e-mailed in this enlightening answer:

“I’m going on holiday to Japan next month, what should I do while I’m there?

O RLY? You should do an assload of exotic drugs, available legally
from vendors on the street.”

I probably won’t pursue his suggestion, but hey, that’s something I didn’t know about Japan and I’ve been reading guides for the past few weeks.

Thanks to everyone to e-mailed and posted comments, and thanks to Dirty Microbe for putting together such a great prize package.
