Maybe, but the time interval of these posts are bothering me. But whatever. If you win, you win. But It pisses me off that you're going to win by a haiku that's not even correct.But if the person who owns the site wants to change the rules, that is his choice.
Because putting them togheter, editing them into making a related haiku is "stealing"? Yeah. Thanks. Seriously, If Jacob wins, he wins. I'm upset, obviously. But who wouldn't have been after getting so many votes.
Well dude i knew you reported me and honestly I would have gave you a comment paying my respects for competing with me. But It just struck me as crazy that you reported my haiku when my is directly about info released for borderlands 2. Obviously yours was for humor but you didn't see me jumping on it and I didn't try to turn you in for it either.
I edited it to fit with the syllables. The direct quote is "Cut the flesh". I wrote "Cut flesh.". It's Borderlands related, and I thought it fits with the punchline. I get it, you hate it.
It's okay and thanks. congrats to you too man. It was a lot of votes and im sure you have lost equally as much sleep as i have i havent slept in almost 52hours. I wish you good luck in all the future prizes that im sure they will give away. I didn't hate your haiku by the way. It was clever.
Thanks. I actually found yours fantastic. But I was really bothered by the invalidness. I thought I had won until I saw the whole rule changes thing. And I didn't really lose any sleep because of my time zone.
Well I have actually put up on feedback for the site a suggestion a few days ago to jdodson about making the contests apart of a steam community giveaway on steamgifts. Like you register for the site and then can get added to the steam group. So that way hopefully its less vague. I to was also confused on the symbol things i mean i knew how many is in a normal haiku but everyone who had already posted had some slightly off so i wondered if that was even a requirement at all. I had two versions made and went with the one that simply sounded better in regards to applying to nature and communicating it back to something in the real world.
First off, thanks to both of you for resolving this dispute amicably. It's always better for all parties when cool heads prevail.
I helped jdodson come up with the contest and, in hindsight, we should have been a lot more clear with the rules. It's our first giveaway, so mistakes were bound to happen. We decided to err on the side of acceptance rather than denial since we weren't clear to begin with, and some invalid haikus had been submitted with a lot of votes already.
In the future we will be more clear about things, and we had considered a private group giveaway through SteamGifts but decided to go with one to foster creativity :)
Not much to share because PopCap hasn't shared much with us yet... That said, Plants VS Zombies 2 has been confirmed by PopCap for release for Spring of 2013.
Hoping it comes with difficulty modes or something that makes it harder for multiple replays!

Gearbox recently released a stripped down retro version of Borderlands 2 you can play in your browser. You can choose from one of the 4 new Borderlands 2 characters and fight hordes of enemies in an area 2d shooter. From the handful of games I played, I chose Salvador and made it to level 16. There is a fair amount of gun types to choose from but I seemed to prefer the machine guns to the others. Shotguns seemed to be a bit underpowered as the intial blast is strong but they took too long to reload.
Its a fun game to try out in anticipation for Borderlands 2 launch this September 18thand you can play it here: http://www.wubwub.eu/demake.php

If you strip the "/demake.php" off the end of that domain, it looks like there are a few more things that will become available as time marches onward to the Borderlands 2 launch. Should be interesting. More as it develops.
Wow, sorry about fading out. I made it 2 levels and then got distracted. I have played it a couple of times since, same thing. I must not be a real gamer =)

This just in from the rumor department, Fallout 4 has been recently discussed on Reddit and a few other game sites. According to one anonymous Redditor, Bethesda has been poking around MIT for the upcoming Fallout 4. The Redditor in question is an anonymous MIT employee with insider knowledge of Bethesda scouting locations for the game.
I loved Fallout 3 and news of Fallout 4 is very cool. What do you think, does Fallout 4 set in Boston interest you? Are you ready to head back into the Fallout world and kill more Super Mutants and Enclave?

Only if they ditched the engine. As much as I loved Skyrim/Fallout3/Oblivion, I'm getting sick of it. They all just seem like expansion packs rather than full games, despite the hundreds and hundreds of hours of content.
There's no way they'll ditch the Skyrim engine until they've got at least one Fallout with it. They've been using the same engine for years, just heavily modifying it. I don't see that changing any time soon.
I think Skyrim's engine is different enough. Fallout 3 definitely felt like a prettier Oblivion engine, but Skyrim's feels singificantly different enough, while still being familiar.
It just seems like a facelift to me. They removed the "zoom in on faces while talking" and retweaked the menus. It still has the same glitches and limitations. I'm sick of standing in a room where I can't even pretend to look out a window, or where people come in and out by materializing at the door. I'm sick of the physics glitches, of people talking to me through walls, of the same canned animations.
Don't get me wrong, I really enjoyed those games, but if half-life 3 comes out on the Source Engine (even the extremely updated version from Portal) I'm going to be disappointed. Same deal here.

Tungtsten: Good point. I haven't given that as much thought as you but ... yeah I mean they do look like similar games.
I started with Fallout 3. I played a bit of oblivion and it was fun, but I stopped dead at a particular Oblivion gate I couldn't figure out. Then I came back to my game and stopped because I became a Vampire accidentally and started getting hurt in Sunlight.
That said, my first all in experience with a Bethesda game was Fallout 3 and I loved the game. I guess love isn't a good enough word really, I LOVED the game. I didn't really think of the game engine as the world, the textures and stuff was very different to me.
As I now play Skyrim, yeah you know the slow motion kill shots do remind me of Fallout 3. The play style kind of reminds me of it too. The voice actors are similar, the style is similar so its more noticeable to me now. Its not bad, but yeah, its familiar.
Will a new game with the engine, similar voice actors and style in the Fallout verse bother me? I imagine not. I mean, I have Fallout: New Vegas waiting for me to start up and I imagine ill love it, but I might put another game in the middle first.
I hear you though, seems like you played more of the Bethesda games than I and yeah, all told if they took a departure with the next game more that could be a great thing.
That said, like panickedthumb I doubt they will drop the engine and such. I do hope they clean it up bugs and strange elements. Then again, its fun to have Mammoths fall from the sky but it does sort of break the immersion.

Its not alts. Its called family members bro.
My moms side is all Murphys. check towards the top. ryan murphy is my cousin. and Moody and richardson is my other side
Maybe, but the time interval of these posts are bothering me. But whatever. If you win, you win. But It pisses me off that you're going to win by a haiku that's not even correct.But if the person who owns the site wants to change the rules, that is his choice.
Because putting them togheter, editing them into making a related haiku is "stealing"? Yeah. Thanks. Seriously, If Jacob wins, he wins. I'm upset, obviously. But who wouldn't have been after getting so many votes.
You didn't even create your own haiku, you just stole lines from other games and pasted them in the lines of a haiku
And you didn't edit them. They are direct quotes
Well dude i knew you reported me and honestly I would have gave you a comment paying my respects for competing with me. But It just struck me as crazy that you reported my haiku when my is directly about info released for borderlands 2. Obviously yours was for humor but you didn't see me jumping on it and I didn't try to turn you in for it either.
I edited it to fit with the syllables. The direct quote is "Cut the flesh". I wrote "Cut flesh.". It's Borderlands related, and I thought it fits with the punchline. I get it, you hate it.
I'm sorry jacob. I don't mean to be angry on you. I've just been trying too hard. I'm really sorry.
Congratulations though. I hope we can put this behind us.
"Paint the man, cut the lines" is from amnesia. Which has no relation to borderlands. It has to do with performing surgery on people.
And yes BR, I know. That's why the punchline is there. Don't get your knickers in a twist like I did. I'm bad enough for going topsy-turvy on Jacob.
I know, just getting defensive. My bad.
No, it was all my fault. I shouldn't have been so upset. I guess I didn't know enough people.
It's okay and thanks. congrats to you too man. It was a lot of votes and im sure you have lost equally as much sleep as i have i havent slept in almost 52hours. I wish you good luck in all the future prizes that im sure they will give away. I didn't hate your haiku by the way. It was clever.

I to was also confused on the symbol things i mean i knew how many is in a normal haiku but everyone who had already posted had some slightly off so i wondered if that was even a requirement at all. I had two versions made and went with the one that simply sounded better in regards to applying to nature and communicating it back to something in the real world.
syllables* sorry my typing is horrible right now from all the sugar and caff. I've gone through to stay awake.

At any rate, I just made a post about this here: http://cheerfulghost.com/panickedthumb/posts/584
We have some confirming to do over the next 24 hours, and then we'll make the official announcement!
