Ruining Battletoads: it's what I do.

That isn't World of Warcraft. That's fucking Oblivion. With Cliffracers. The most hated enemies of all Morrowind.

IF YOU CAN DODGE A WRENCH, YOU CAN DODGE A BALL!

It would be unsporting to vote for myself, so I voted for MJ. As a way to encourage other finalists to vote in the same fashion, I offer myself as your official Honor Repository. Basically, I'm shamelessly soliciting fourteen votes I'll never get. But it's shamelessness with honor.

Fixed mine to be 800x600 (still too large?). Also, conditional axe's bbcode is broken.

Battletoads wins my heart, with KOTOR being close.

I like Queers of War. ...and they really really like me.

I knew I was taking a risk with that whole K-Fed thing... but you know, it really would have ruined Metroid. Whole damn franchise down the toilet.

Well done to all. I was laughing my ass off. Both "Consumables" were

Fixed mine to be 800x600 (still too large?). Also, conditional axe's bbcode is broken. Thanks.

A Ferret's entry is Xenogears with no text. [spoiler:0f8d9ba538]It's a text-heavy RPG.[/spoiler:0f8d9ba538]

The top 15 are all difficult to choose from. In the end, I went with Battletoads, though they are all winners in my heart!

It would be unsporting to vote for myself, so I voted for MJ. As a way to encourage other finalists to vote in the same fashion, I offer myself as your official Honor Repository. Basically, I'm shamelessly soliciting fourteen votes I'll never get. But it's shamelessness with honor. For a moment I was tempted, but we lurkers are a treacherous lot. thegloaming is my favourite though, once I saw it I laughed for a good long while.

Thegloaming will be totally cheated because nobody will realize what they're looking at unless they take the time to stare at it for awhile.

Thegloaming's is great. If I hadn't voted for mine, I would've voted for his.

I'm with Rankenphile. But a more pressing issue is, mcc needs to quit whatever the fuck he's doing right now and go play X-Com.

Runner up for 2 minutes of work? Why didn't I try this before! (Battletoaded)

I went for Guitar Hero, despite the fact that I would like a country music version Nitpick: I was not the creator of the CMI Photoshops, just the SMI one.

I voted for the Guitar Hero one because that was along the lines of my original idea, but I decided I didn't have the skills for it. I was going to edit the box to make it "Screamo Hero" with big pictures of My Chemical Romance. And not a single vote for me yet?!?!?! IS NOTHING SACRED TO YOU HEATHENS?!?!!

queers of war is concentrated genius* *also faggotry

IF YOU CAN DODGE A WRENCH, YOU CAN DODGE A BALL! And as for Ice Climbers, you might want to Google "Mauna Loa"; not a lot of ice to climb on a Hawaiian volcano. Voted for the Hoff, because that's just creepy.

I still don't get the burning crusade one.

IAmTheRad exposes mcc's ignorance of World of Warcraft: This is OBLIVION. With Cliff Racers, the god damn enemies that god damn fucking keep attacking you for fucking ever and ever, and never god damn stop. OfficeBuddy goes over mcc's head. HE PUT A HEALTH PACK INTO HITMAN.

I still don't get the burning crusade one. JAEF's? He put SOE's logo on the box.
