Macs are just weird with their 'non-backdrops' and their 'oh you don't need your smooth button on the top there' attitude. Plus the internet's pretty lame on the uni macs, requiring me to reload to view stuff on Safari (I dunno how to make Firefox work on em.)
Music Catch 2 was swell, with its selection of soothing tunes and addictive gameplay. I kinda felt bad about using the unlockable MP3 import option to play Akira the Don's Street Fighter (I will F You Up)

Heh, just noticed the store credit. I was wondering how the new prize system would work, especially considering Weebl submitted this one.
Just ordered myself an NGUK shirt, some patches and a keychain. :P
I would image it depends on whether you were commissioned or not.
I'm mainly just curious as to how splitting prizes between co-authors goes with the new system, since the old times involved e-mailing/PMing the relevant dude and mentioning how to split the stuff.

Do all top 5 winers win money or just the #1?
Do you win money with the tank award?
If so, how much?
Top 5 in each category get $250, a certificate and it looks like the t-shirt of choice is replaced with some store credit in case you prefer getting a figure or some keychains instead. The #1 in each entry gets an automatic nomination for the Tank Awards next year.

So is there gonna be a section for people to learn about how to incorporate medals into our stuff, or is this one of those 'you have to ask very nicely' deals?
Also, voting on an Ipod Touch is tricky, what with it zooming in everytime I make a choice.

names stolen by spam movies
It's just a colon.
Some people like to keep their submission lists in order.
two people come up with different movies with the same name.
I doubt it's very original if two people come up with the same name. i.e. SONIC VS NARUTO, STICK FIGHT S.E.
I was talking more of the normal/experimental/notavideogameparody flashes with simple titles. Like one flash named 'Apple' could be an epic journey of seed to tree, whilst another 'Apple' would be a semi-hilarious escapade of an anthropomorphic apple trying to get laid.
All I'm saying is that is a real problem that spam flashers, which judging by your recent submission attempt you blatantly are one of, will and are taking advantage of.
One thing TheWax mentioned when he was submitting this was that he couldn't submit under its intended name (without the colon) because someone else had used it for the spam parody.
I dunno if it's always been that way or was recently implicated for the revised search function, but I'm worried that it'll become a problem for people submitting well known series getting their names stolen by spam movies, as well as the occassions where two people come up with different movies with the same name.
Remember kids, if you want to be eligible for voting each month, then make sure you deposit your experience points by voting on five submissions each day.
As much as I'd like to support my boss, I'd have to say Chuck's New Tux should definitely be one of the top winners for the Movie category. On the Game side of things, I'd go for either Karoshi, Dino Run or Achievement Unlocked.
No, no, no, Mike, you're doing it wrong!
If I knew anything about merchandise, I'd try and get some stickers done of something, maybe when I pick up one of my series again. I could just use that girly sticker machine they advertised all the time during the nineties.

Surely for that kind of dancing you need an open space of at least 10 metres? Dancing in a corner will just end with you whacking your foot against the wall and hurting your tootsies.
