IvanV · Mar 3, 2008, 08:00 PM

Good stuff, guys. I'm glad I got here on time to read what you came up with and to cast my vote.

sushrukh · Mar 3, 2008, 09:24 PM

Best of luck to all.

When it's going to end btw ?

IvanV · Mar 3, 2008, 09:32 PM

Tonight at 10pm GMT (Zardon said so in post #7), it's going to be really close until the very end!

Zardon · Mar 3, 2008, 10:36 PM

25 minutes to go......

Neshi · Mar 3, 2008, 10:55 PM

5 more minutes and andrew is up front with 1 vote.. exciting!

Zardon · Mar 3, 2008, 11:00 PM

poll is closed. congratulations Andrew on the win. check your PM in a few minutes.

Congratulations to Swimtech for leading for quite some time, two great entries guys and they have been submitted for possible inclusion in a future patch.......

IvanV · Mar 3, 2008, 11:01 PM

It should be over!

EDIT: And it is! By just one vote! Congratulations, Andrew! I personally loved your idea, it reminded me of old Prince of Persia and my friend who would turn his monitor upside down so that he could get through a certain part.

Neshi · Mar 3, 2008, 11:04 PM

that really was close, congratulations andrew at your smashing victory haha

too bad swimtech, better luck next time!

swimtech · Mar 3, 2008, 11:05 PM

I can breathe now - wow!

Congratulations Yayitsandrew!

***craig5320*** · Mar 3, 2008, 11:14 PM

Yay it's Andrew! :-)

Erroneus · Mar 3, 2008, 11:19 PM

Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn, that was sick close!

To bad swimtech, you had my vote!

Congrats Andrew, Yay it's you!

YAYitsAndrew · Mar 3, 2008, 11:21 PM

Holy cow, swimtech! I think they had to have a camera at the end of this one.

Thank you so much to everyone who voted for me.

And good luck to the entries when they get reviewed for game inclusion!

RebeLone · Mar 3, 2008, 11:51 PM

Nice congrats on the win!

slugbug · Mar 4, 2008, 12:51 AM

Congrats on the win Andrew. Be sure to post some pics when you get that baby

thenewguy001 · Mar 4, 2008, 12:54 AM

Congrats. I wonder if the 4-5 finalists that Zardon said only had votes from DH members were the bottom 5?

I had PM'd Zardon about whether it was in the spirit of the competition to get all my friends and family to vote for me, and got a vague reply, so I decided against it. From the margin of victory, it wouldn't have helped me anyhoo! I don't have 100 friends to call upon!

~~werty316~~ · Mar 4, 2008, 01:26 AM

Talk about a close one

Congrats YAYitsAndrew!

HAHAHA

Asmoday · Mar 4, 2008, 02:08 AM

Congrats Andrew!...

BlueMak · Mar 4, 2008, 03:33 AM

Enjoy your new graphics card Andrew

Blue Devil · Mar 4, 2008, 04:32 AM

Congratz and good luck with your new baby.

BTW, Crap!I forgot voting, i was going to vote for Swimtech(dam, i confused the timezone, because im from Brazil!), i fell a horrible person.

**dj_stick** · Mar 4, 2008, 04:34 AM

congrats andrew, but wow, that was definately a close one

Zardon · Mar 4, 2008, 09:37 AM

Yeah - that was exciting to say the least! You know, I didn't really comprehend your entry until Sunday sometime. That whiparound grenade idea is really imaginative and with the mouse reversed while the player is fighting it is really innovative - and definately Discoordinating! Can you imagine looking at the player from a third person perspective the first few times he/she tries to fight that? It would look hilarious!

Congratulations again Andrew, and glad it's you too!

sushrukh · Mar 4, 2008, 03:21 PM

Wow what a close fight.Congrats Andrew.Show us some pics when you'll get it.And better luck next time Swimtech.

Zardon · Mar 4, 2008, 05:41 PM

AMD liked Swimtechs entry so much they are sending him a surprise consolation prize. Nice bunch of guys they are !

slugbug · Mar 4, 2008, 06:27 PM

That's very cool of them. By the way, I received the DDR3 ram from Crucial yesterday. Where should I post my thank you message with pics? Off Topic?

mos2k · Mar 4, 2008, 06:39 PM

Very cool indeed

swimtech · Mar 4, 2008, 07:15 PM

Unbelievable - I'm floored - thank you AMD, and DriverHeaven!
