PM me a list of those that have already applied so I know who to try and rope into this shindig.


No!

:lol:

The list is good so far though. Oh and I'd talk to that guy who you were going to get, who by the way I might know who it is.

8-)


How can I help you get people if I don't know who has already applied?


Oh and I already got you one guy. Though I'm not sure if he has finished his application yet. Who do you think it its? PM me if need be.


This all reeks of conspiracy!! J'accuse!

It's a Zenigame alt.

I've entered 3 times under different aliases :shifty: more chances of winin innit.

Wait, what? :lol:

EDIT: I love that DML goes hilariously over the top with the opening posts for these things. I was planning on entering, but I've agreed to do a gooseberry fool ton of overtime at work over the next few weeks so I don't know that I'll have the time to properly contribute.

Oh, and I demand that you add my Do You Guru win in GGGC2 to my stellar list of accolades( :lol: ). I still remember, even if nobody else does. I beat that creepy Jebus guy, dammit. :cry:

In one of the most memorable debuts in recent seasons, Tragic absolutely stormed in early on... He debuted with a win in the first writing round, and continued place in the top four...

He'll be back though!


:oops:

I still can't believe I lost that! :x :lol: :lol: :lol:

Think that is unfair. It wasn't that people forgot to vote. It's because most people (who I spoke to at least) thought it was actually gooseberry fool and a cheap attempt to win so chose to vote elsewhere.

The bane of my existing, those rounds.

I struggle to write a po-faced "buyer's guide" for a game that was released a decade ago and for which everyone has been pondering its pros and cons in that time. I try and have a bit of fun with it, and approach the game in a different way and I get voted off because I didn't say Banjo-Kazooie was really rather good, worth 9/10 but a bit like Mario 64!

My genius just doesn't get appreciated while I'm still alive. I'm like Van Gogh, Mozart or Jade Goody.

I thought my Travel Guide for Dinosaur Planet was an innovative attempt that pretty much changed videogame journalism forever.

Possibly in the same way a nuclear bomb changed Hiromshima forever.

I loved your Star Fox Adventures review/guide to Dinosaur Planet. :wub:

Was a lot like Matthew Castle's review of Hotel Dusk. Different but great.

Can we have a best of compilation before this year starts?

I've missed most of the previous years, so it would be cool to pick out an entry from particular rounds over the years that have funny stories attached.

That's assuming that any of the work/pictures/videos have been saved from deletion.

This would be cool.

Personally I've always wanted to look back over some of my submissions before. Especially the E3 conference one where I got Capcom.
Oh and my Rise Of The Robots review too. :D
