i made Shadowblind reach 50%:D (for now:p)

[Joe88]

Please dont let this turn into a popularity contest
View all reviews by the members before voting

and dont vote for some one just because you seen them around the fourm before

[zzt]

Above all, I just hope that my review help those who needed it (even though I only wrote 1 review :rolleyes: , been busy).

[bandit]

In case there is a tie, I and/or staff will choose who will get the prize based on quality of the review.

[____anders____]

i've read all the reviews..
just so you know.

post 600:)

[fg-54]

wow nice one ___anders___, not many people are willing to read ALL the reviews before voting.

[DDRmantis]

i would have voted for shadowblind, but he already won, my vote would be more usefull to BLANK

[RolandRd]

Voted For Joe

Very smart. It seems SB is way ahead so I dont think he would have a problem at all. Giving your vote to another deserving reviewer is a great thing to do. Wish more people were like you.

Thx all for the votes!

PS Voted for fg-54. Would've voted for Joe88 otherwise, both great reviewers.

[Triv1um]

Lol, i havent got a chance with my 1 single review that is pushed down the bottom :P Never mind it was fun to write.

I vote ninja.

Good luck to everyone. And well done shadow ;) You seem to be doing uber well. Haha

[WhizzBang]

There were loads of entries and I didn't read them all, so I felt my vote was a little unfair on the others, but I voted anyway.

Generally, a fairly high standard though.

[bandit]

But as always, just because there is no contest, this shouldnt stop anyone from continuing to post reviews. Posting reviews not only helps DCEmu but also brings the community closer.

So if you played a game or accessory, post a review on it and share it with others.

Indeed, im going to start reviewing all my PS3 games. Because the PS3 reviews are lacking.

I'm reviewing MGS very soon.

I did it before, I did it during, and I don't plan to stop after. Miniviews shall live on as simply Reviews. Unfortunately, I haven't found a new game to play since NG2, so it may be slow from me...

[pibs]

I voted for SB,ive enjoyed his reviews even though theres somethings in them I don't agree with them it mostly always balances out.

Any chance of you doing a Bad Company review? when it comes out of course lol

Sure. I rent practically all of my games so I'll try it out. I played the demo, and multiplayer feels like Frontlines. I haven't tried singleplayer out just yet, but I like the music style (hint)

PS thx for the vote :o

[fg-54]

wow cool! looks like I am still one of the top four so far, I really hope I win. thanks to whoever voted for me!:D:D:D I will try to make more reviews.....but I am kinda out of games for right now, currently playing pokemon diamond, maybe I will review that one after I am done with it.


looks like the top four are pretty even, eccept for a HUGE difference with shadow:

fg-54: 4 votes

Joe88: 4 votes

Shadowblind: 14 votes

Triv1um : 4 votes


nice going shadow, you are sure to be a winner:thumbup:

I'm still on Act II. Its a god damn great game. Probably the longest game I played in years!

Thank you for your continued support. So as long people are contributing, it doesnt matter how long it takes to review.

I got the BETA key for Tom Clancy's EndWar. I might give that a shot and give a mini-review/impression on it.

[Masta_mind257]

I hope this doesnt turn into a popularity contest

Although in my initial announced about the contest, I mentioned to those to inform others to vote. However, Joe88 contradicted himself. He tells others to read other reviews before voting, but he only links to his reviews. I will be PMing him to remove or edit his post on GBATemp.

If you want to spread the word on the voting, do so. But play fair and respect others by posting the Games Reviews Forum (http://www.dcemu.co.uk/vbulletin/forumdisplay.php?f=285) and not to your links only.

If anyone else finds anything like this, feel free to PM me.

what?

This whole contest is too spread the word about DCemu
Though GBAtemp isnt exactly happy about that

Thats all im doing ;)

im sorry about that, I will get the post removed
it was locked anyway within 5 mins of I made that post there
so I dont actually know it people voted from there

[JKKDARK]

You're telling them to vote for you...

[Triv1um]

And also, the votes jumped from 4 to 9 in about 20 mins.

If you want to play that game, i will.

But i want it to be fair.

[Joe88]

You're telling them to vote for you...

Your Right

Im sorry to all people that are doing it fairly
I should have posted everyone's review there
and asked the people to vote for the best (probably would have still got locked anyway though[advertising])

I have requested the thread be deleted at gbatemp

Again im sorry to everyone, and I did as exactly as I said I wouldn't in my first post in this thread :(

I dont mind people spreading the word about the contest/reviews and having people vote but if you're going to do that, be fair and link to the Games Reviews forum or http://games-reviews.dcemu.co.uk so others can read the reviews of others (best to link to homepage).

I'm going to need to figure out another way of doing this voting for future contests.

[Joe88]

Yes im sorry, I should have posted everyone's review(s)
that thread is now deleted

[DDRmantis]

well it looks like i didn't get hurt from all of this drama, and after all, isn't that what REALLY MATTERS?;)

[bandit]

it links to everyone's review (and not just mine :o )
the pic goes to this thread and the text tells them to read reviews and then vote for best

[Shadowblind]

Lord. You should know that there is a difference between spreading the word of DCEmu and basically tallying votes for yourself among your friends.

How disappointing. Don't expect me to be "spreading the word" of DCEmu anytime soon.

[DDRmantis]

i don't think you would need to shadow, you are winning by alot!

I said I was sorry, I got the thread deleted
I learned my lesson as bandit said, I wont be doing that anymore.

and im spreading the news about the contest legit now
Im not saying vote for me, just says read all reviews and vote for best reviewer

[DDRmantis]

i just saw the movie "Kung-Fu Panda" and it had the best beginning in a movie that i have ever seen! it was amazing! and over all the movie was pretty good too. hey! can we review movies? that would be cool, i would review Kung-Fu Panda.

PS: THERE WAS NOT ENOUGH PRAYING MANTIS KUNG-FU IN THAT MOVIE!!!!!!!!!!!

[Joe88]

^most random post in a thread ever

[wwwaaallleee]

i finally found it! i was informed of this contest and asked to read reviews and vote.......do i have to read ALL the reviews? that will take forever. :/


EDIT: WOW! i can see why shadowblind is winning. he is quite the reviewer, but as bandit said, shadowblind won't be having any trouble winning, and i should give my vote to someone eles, let me see who ELES deserves MY MIGHTY ELECTRONIC VOTE!


EDIT: this is tough, i can't decide between two reviewers.......wish i had two votes. BUT! onward we shall go! let the voting continue!

[fg-54]

wwwaaallleee? as an "wall-E"? (don't know how to do the dot in the middle)


EDIT: a movie review section would not be a bad idea at all mantis, well thought, if it ever comes up, I would also support it.

[Shadowblind]

I thought the poll was supposed end on the 21st. Why did that change?

[fg-54]

well it pretty much ended three days after it started when you, Joe88,Triv1um, and I got votes, we have been winning from the beginning. though the faster it closes the better because I have to go to Colombia on July 6th, and I would not mind having an i-thouch ds for the big trip, and while I am there too, there is not much to be done in Colombia that I didn't already did while I lived there.

[bandit]

It has always been the 23rd. I started the poll on the 16th while I was at work and it lasts for 7 days.

Since you live in the US, you'll have it before your trip. I'm in New York. Hopefully those who win, is in the US. Cheaper in shipping since I'm not getting paid for any of this.

EDIT: by the way bandit, I bid my mom $10 that the I-touch ds would actually come, she thinks this is just another one of those "YOU ARE OUR 100,000th VISITOR! YOU WIN OUR GRAND PRIZE!" type of contests, but YOU SIR, will make me $10 richer ;) that is if when the contest is over I am still winning, anything could happen in two days.

Sigh...the only free thing I want NOW (excluding the iTouch) is the tales f vesperia demo. But its only on Japanese XBL and I don't even have connection here. :(

Well at least the iTouch will be the high point of my week, if it can get delivered here in time...

[fg-54]

NO! YOU SIR ARE NO FRIEND OF THE POETRY! the only thing I want for free is everything, wish I could have super models for free, but they are usually quite expensive. I also wish for free games, free movies, free money, free houses, and free magic so that i can get even MORE things for free.......including shape shifting soft robots that will do whatever I want them to, think about that one for a sec, and you will get it, they are soft, listen to you, and can turn into anything you want them to......maybe even a super hot woman?

If you win, I'll have it shipped out the 24th, so as long I get your mailing address by the 23rd or 24th.

Shadowblind, I'll be shipping first class. If WV is West Virginia, it may be there in 3-4 days. Cant guarantee.

Those who win and want quicker shipping, I can ship via 2-3 USPS Priority Mail but you'll have to cover shipping on that (about $6). This should get to you by the 27th or on the 27th

Joe88, you should have yours in 1 day.

HAHAHA. No sir, I'm not a scam. Even if I was, you're not losing anything. You'll get your item considering I held the contest and received them from M3/iTouch.

I cant do that to fellow DCEmu'ers.

I know you wouldnt :)
I was just saying my parents and such as fg-54 said

Right now I'm about 14 hours away from you, much less 20 minutes ;)

Non-vacation about 6 hours.

PS: fg, call b00zey and ask how to get a Japanese 360 LIVE account. Download Tales of Vesperia demo and TELL ME HOW AWESOME IT IS!

As for free things in the mail, I can never trust those things. Too paranoid.

shadow, the demo is fine, great beginning, the voice overs are clear but bad, they sound like grown ups talking clearly to a baby to make sure he understands each word individually.

[ThreadToForget]

I voted for DimensionT, because I would've never played Bahamut Lagoon had I not read his review!

I understand I pretty much walked in and signed up to pretty much just vote, but I ran across this poll and decided I should finally show how much I actually appreciated that review :D
I usually don't like posting on forums.. I just roam around through them :/

Thank you DimensionT :D

Yes. I could of left him out but I also could of included him. But since he did a wonderful job of contributing, I thought it would be best to include him and send him a prize.

What a joke.

These contests don't seem to work right. I'd advise not doing another one, at least for a while. Your call though, free stuff is never too far down my list :o

Great reviews came out of it though, out of many different gamers. So I guess it actually worked what it was supposed to. And thanks bandit for always doing the good thing during the contest. With all that happend I probably wouldn't have known what to do.

Yes, it DOES seem a bit suspicious that dimensionT got seven votes on the LAST day, just enough to come in fourth place and win an I-touch ds. normally about three more votes were added each day......not seven, what is even MORE strange, is that ALL votes were given to dimensionT.

[DDRmantis]

wow! i was sure that the winners were going to be (in order by amounts of votes):

shadowblind

Joe88

triv1um

fg-54

when did DimensionT get THAT many votes?

[Joe88]

also it happened during a 6-7 hour time period
I was watching it during the night yesterday for new posts and such,
then I come here around 4PM the next day and see all the votes which is why I posted on the page before

[DimensionT]

I have a feeling what might've happened, but I don't think I'm at fault.

I had barely found out that I was in the polls last night... When I did, I told my friend. Not in the "Hey come vote for me way", but in the "Hey, check it out. I had a chance to win an iTouch and didn't even know" kind of way. When I checked back a little later on, I already had 5 votes.

As for the other two, I don't really know. That ThreadToForget guy could be one of them (thank you by the way).

Nearest I can figure is my friend asked some people to vote for me, knowing that I had lost my supercard not too long ago.

Either way, I'm sorry. If you guys want to pass my prize along to someone else, I'll completely understand. I'd much rather lose then cause any trouble here.

EDIT: I have to agree with ShadowBlind. When I saw the thread, I didn't think there would be a prize offered in this way. Votes could be easily swayed (which may very well have been the case with me).

If you ask me, I think it should be voted upon only by certain people. Get a group of 10 or so people, who each vote for who they think should get 1st, 2nd and 3rd. People with the most votes win, as always.

This would be fair, and alot more safe.
