I have sent my verdicts to your gmail address, sportsman.

"fuck yeah oblivion" - Jihad

My suspense turns to apathy...

Nah, I'm still waiting with bated breath. But it's probably because I didn't brush my teeth yet today.

Note to gamers: when someone shoots you in the face, they aren't "gay." They are "psychopathic."

OD's sick of waiting, so here are your results!

1. Overdrive. COMMENTS: Overdrive is awesome. He should have won every year, but got screwed.

2. Blu. COMMENTS: Us judges appreciate brevity in large contests and no other review was as short and to the point as this one.

3. Sho. COMMENTS: He reviewed Exile. 'Nuff said. Now take your heroin (heartpoison, if you go with the Genny version) and go home.

4. The rest of you. COMMENTS: Better luck next year, but you all picked the wrong games. No AD&D Gold Box, no Wizardry, no Dragon Quest, no Shin Megami Tensei, no Ultima (other than WORLD CHAMP OVERDRIVE), no Doom wads (unless that was what Blu's WAD.wad review was for, which is part of the reason why he got second in the first place), no dice.

you're thick as shit, of course WAD.wad is a wad. that's the whole joke...

Oh no, it's a Goomba!

This has been a disappointment.

This was not a triumph.

This is CNN.

I head spaceshit noises.

Blu
I was operating under the impression that you could have, like GUTS, made up a game in order to place highly in this contest. For your insolence, I'm considering switching you and Sho around to give him second place and you third.

Blame Canada.

[Eating EmP's brain] probably isn't a good idea. I mean... He's British, which means his brain's wired for PAL and your eyes are NTSC. - Will

All the results are in. I have to run to a store now so the topic should be up in 2-3 hours.

IF YOU WANT MORE BEATS FOR YOUR BUCK THERE'S NO LUCK.

Place your bets.

I'm edging towards WolfQueen, with an outside bet on Drella. Though I'm quite tempted to put a quid down on Blu and see if I get seven thousand back.

My bet is that EmP will win the prestigious Jason "HG" Venter Wild Arms 3 Award. The prize handed out is the skeleton of a small animal whose bones have been bleached by the relentless sunlight.

I'm aiming for that trophy myself, Overdrive. Only I am so capable of snatching defeat from the jaws of victory!

Perhaps it really is a doorway, and if you choose to go inside, you'll find many unexpected things." - Shigeru Miyamoto on secret doors to another world2

And I was right! Courtesy of bluberry, I managed a second-place finish this year just as I did during that infamous 'W' year.

Hahaha

Yes, you did. The bleach-bone skeleton is back in your possession!
