Holiday Contest 2006 Winners 2007-01-04 16:21:57


After much deliberation, we have selected the winners for our Holiday competition!

1st - $1000: Carol of the Robots
2nd - $1000: Life of a XMas Present
3rd - $700: Problem with the Holidays
4th - $700: Very Spritey Christmas
5th - $700: LilOrphanBoy
6th - $500: Christmas for one, please
7th - $500: An Unforgotten Christmas
8th - $500: Lemon & Karl Christmas
9th - $500: Father Claus
10th - $500: Beat Nick

Honorable mentions go to Not Another Pine (Dan Paladin's favorite), Santa Shorts 1 & 2, Ingus Christmas and IT Geeks: Got Wii? Also, big thanks to FrostedMuffins and Mogly for making a cool game for Hanukkah. :)

We had hundreds of submissions this year and it was soul crushing to condense them to a single list of winners. We try not to stray too much from what the users vote on as the best but we don't want to strictly follow it, either. A big thanks to everyone who contributed! You can view the submissions in the Christmas 2006 collection.

Moving along the contest chain, qualified users have until January 7th to vote on the Best of December!

Dan Paladin is visiting for the next two weeks while we can crunch on Castle Crashers before showing it at Slamdance in Utah on the 19th. To double our Dan's, Dan Malo has come out to visit as well! Malo will be helping us put together prize packs, t-shirts and Wacom tablets over the next two weeks. The 6x11 Wacom tablets are on back-order, so I'm waiting for them to arrive early next week. I'm also still waiting on the new batch of AngryFaic shirts, which should arrive early next week. I have some orders left from December that are waiting to be filled... sorry about that. :(

It's gonna be a BUSY BUSY BUSY BUSY BUSY month of programming and package shipping!

I know Squeakytoad has expressed his annoyance at how games always get a lot of money and animations barely get anything, he'll be happy to find out he won $700, even if it wasn't the greatest animation.

P.S. Carol of the Robots is over rated.

Response to Holiday Contest 2006 Winners 2007-01-04 16:46:46


Perfect for first place

Now if only my flashing skills were that good...

Also, Tom, any news about the layout?

It's good to see deserving people win.

Although I think that Mogly and Muffins should have gotten something for repping the heebs. word to your bagel and locks.

The man filling out my birth certificate died upon reaching the "last name" field when he realized that I was, in fact, too awesome for a first and last name.

I get something for honourable mention, yes? =3

No? =(

Ah well, an honourable mention is better than anything I've ever had when it comes to these kinda things. Nice to see people actually had a chance of winning (note how Luis didn't make anything XD) though I probably would've ranked Little Orphan Boy a little higher myself.

BTW when do we get the next batch of Angryface t-shirts? I've still only got the 2 medium and Curly Sam has no present. =(

Hey Tom.. will you post news about when the lockdown will be before it comes right?
i mean, it wont come as a surprise..

I wish these news topics brought me back to the general forum when I click the "Go Back to topic list" link. I always click it without thinking.
