GBAtemp Tempmas Mini-Competition #17
Sing a GBAtemp-themed Christmas Carol!

Yesterday's Competition Winner: TSorbera! Congratulations TSorbera! Lady luck (who actually appears to be a web-based randomiser script) picked you as the lucky winner! Good going.

Today's competition
? On the first day of Tempmas my true love gave to me! ?
...Oh, excuse me.

*ahem*

Christmas ain't Christmas without a little old-fashioned carolling! Today's competition is asking that you come up and sing a GBAtemp-themed Christmas carol!
So, write up a nice GBAtemp-themed Christmas carol and record it on a microphone. Be as creative as you can with it; we're judging you on creativity - not on how beautiful your voice may or may not be! Feel free to add extra jingles and sounds to your entry, but you must include your own voice - entries that are completely digitally made will not be accepted. We're cruel aren't we?

You must turn in your audio file of the GBAtemp Christmas carol in either MP3 format and send us the link or attach it to the e-mail, or alternatively upload it to somewhere like Youtube for online streaming. Just be sure to link to either in your e-mail entry. Good luck and we're looking forward to receiving your entries!

How to enter?
Please follow these instructions very carefully! We will not accept your entry if you fail to comply with all the instructions.

To enter, simply send an email to [email protected] with your entry and forum username.. You may also show everyone your entry on the forums if you so wish, but remember to send the e-mail too otherwise you won't be entered in the contest!

Winners & prizes
We will reveal the winner and the prize for this competition tomorrow, when the next competition is announced! Remember that prizes will be getting better and better at each competition, and that we will have a special contest on Christmas Eve! You have until tomorrow (Friday the 19th), at 23:00 (11pm) GMT to enter this competition!

I just wanted to state, that for all of those who thought the quiz was simple... only about 50 of the 200 entries were correct.

If it makes you feel better though, had I not been in on the answers, I would have gotten some of them wrong as well.

Awesome!

 

[science]

Hmmm... should I embarass myself further than I have already on this site? Maybe I will.

 

[DeMoN]

I thought the planned Goldeneye on Virtual Boy was a racing game?

 

[dice]

Anyone else care to admit to getting the answers wrong?

 

[Rock Raiyu]

Well I got the answers right though I put CD-i instead of Philips CD-i but that's a variation

Very proud of my entry :

Spoiler

Tempy the Tempbot was a jolly happy bot,
With a d-pad eye and four buttons right across,
And two headphones made of steel.
Tempy the Tempbot is a fairy tale, they say,
He was made of 1337 posts but the users
know how he came to life one day.
There must have been some magic in that
Old Admin that they crowned.
For when he created GBAtemp,
He began to dance around.

O, Tempy the Tempbot
Was as informal as can be,
And the users say he could post
Just the same as you and me.
Tempetty temp temp,
Tempetty temp temp,
Look at Tempy post.
Tempetty temp temp,
Tempetty temp temp,
Over the threads, ho ho

Tempy the Tempbot knew
The staff was hot that day,
So he said, "Let's post and
we'll have some fun
now before they post away."
Down to the magazine,
With a NDS release in his hand,
Running here and there all
Around the thread saying,
Catch me if you can.
He led them down the section of the forum
Right to the admin himself.
And he only paused a moment when
He heard Costello holler "Stop!"

For Tempy the Tempbot
Had to hurry on his way,
But he posted goodbye saying,
"Don't you cry,
I'll be back posting again some day."
Tempetty temp temp,
Tempetty temp temp,
Look at Tempy post.
Tempetty temp temp,
Tempetty temp temp,
Over the threads, ho ho

Dammit, I can't find my mic right now.
