That is not true. You're just jealous you didn't win...

Here are some FACTS:
- the only winners that registered after the contest started are: Babakk, jamesquity, loginusername, nodmar, seren, sushispoon, twinkleface (that's only 7 out of 50)
- the other winners that registered recently (before the contest was announced): chickendung and skylark

so that's only 9 newcomers out of 50.
All the others are long-time members, even if some of them don't post much.

Well I see it both ways, 9 non-newcomers(by member title) and 9 newcomers(actual newcomers).

Damn. I must've failed at the "draw the names out of the hat" stage.

Got 24/25 (but question 11 gave a lot of problem anyways)

Better luck next year I suppose.

w00t got 25/25.

Its a shame though that someone was typing the exact answers into yahoo questions.
When i was researching some q's pretty much every question was asked in yahoo answers. Though i think people caught on and some comments were like "good luck on the GBAtemp quiz".
Its a shame some people ruin it for others.
That being said though, most of the answers were wrong, so i guess who ever used this as a guide got what they deserved.

Thanks for the comp. We need another Tourney soon!

I understand why the controversy question was omitted though. All of those games were controversial to some extent (well, I didn't research Resident Evil). So the question was really subject to what a "large amount" really meant. No More Heroes had the gore stripped from the PAL version of it, so that's a pretty large controversy right there if you ask me.

Anyway, that's enough pointless rambling. Maybe I'll get lucky next time

I did get a perfect score though.

Thanks for putting on this competition GBAtemp staff!

    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite
    for people with beefy hands.

    @SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but that's a long shot
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i think only the red mario kart edition phat was v5
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

    lmao
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    anyways, we need to re-normalize physical media

    if i didn't want my games to be permanent, then i'd rent them

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.
  • AncientBoi @ AncientBoi:
    I don't pirate them, I Use Them :mellow:. Like I do @BigOnYa 's couch :tpi::evil::rofl2:

  • cearp @ cearp:
    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM
  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

    :rofl2:
  • cearp @ cearp:
    still, I agree physical media is nice to have. just pointing out the issue is drm
  • rqkaiju2 @ rqkaiju2:
    i like physical media because it actually feels like you own it. thats why i plan on burning music to cds
  • cearp @ cearp:
    It's nice to not have to have a lot of physical things though, saves space
