So the guy who wrote that awesome tutorial about getting windows 8 on a chromebook gets nothing? I guess you guys picked more gbatemp related topics tho. (And I doubt many ppl own a $1500 chromebook) Was still a great tutorial tho if it wasnt somthing that was known.

SWEET time to go wild (anyone know when the sale starts)

grats to the my fellow winners

I see that line about having a hard time picking the one that would take the top spot, but I feel like everybody who saw DS1's tutorial and gave it a read through likely knew it would take first. It really is a high quality tutorial that is exceptionally relevant to the GBAtemp community. Quite well done indeed. That isn't to say others weren't good, but honestly, I don't feel any other tutorial in this contest could match it in terms of content, relevance, and overall presentation.

Yeah, I actually agree. I really was blown away at the caliber of the tutorial. Very deep and very detailed, which is what a tutorial should be about!

I was actually a pretty big fan of your tutorial too. I feel like it's something that a number of people could really use, whether they're just starting out reviewing, or they just need to improve their technique some. After all, I, among many others, have tried doing a review of some sort at least once. People like the idea of giving their opinion in an informed, organized manner. I liked the writing style of the tut, which is a probably a good thing considering you write reviews, and it was meaty enough that it would leave few, if any questions.

Wow, thank you for that, it really means a lot. It's not necessarily even just for reviewers alone, that's the thing, it's also for those who just want tips in writing properly on the internet, or even in school! I was pretty open ended on some aspects, for that very reason. Things are always changing, and as those factors change, so do aspects of my review. If you look at my reviews that I did early on, you'd realize that my writing knowledge was rather rudimentary (didn't learn squat in high school English) and compare it to now, it's definitely changing for the better, and actually (funnily enough) the one time I didn't care about the outcome (prizes) I actually enjoyed this one the most, and spent the longest amount of time for a single article. I think I clocked in thirty hours writing this, and trying to get the proper voice that I wanted. And haha, I honestly didn't even know about the fancy header function until like last week. I was always moaning LOL, always like wahhhh! Why can't I get the fancy headers! I even thought it only a staff privilege or something.

And I was actually experimenting with a new style on my tutorial, which actually paid off because I was really satisfied with how it turned out. As a reviewer, I always felt that it was my job to predict the common questions, and do my best to answer it in the review so that there isn't a lot of confusion on the behalf of the reader; although, I really love getting feedback!

I was rather impressed with the top tutorial as well. I'm definitely going to use it soon. Congrats to the winners, and may I say, if no one wants their Steam code, I'll take it. (:

Dibs!

[AlanJohn]

[Deleted_171835]

Congrats to the winners, especially DS1.

(even though I totally should have won)

 

[ThatDudeWithTheFood]

Congrats to everybody who won.
DS1's tutorial definitely deserves 1st place,that was cray.

 

[Gahars]

The judging here was, I'm not going to lie, absolutely atrocious. It looks like I wasn't even considered! I feel like I've been discriminated against just because I didn't submit an entry to the contest.

I hope the winners can live with their blood money.

 

[DS1]

Hooray! I really liked this contest because it was a good way to generate user content. I've got some more examples and stuff to add to my guide, but I didn't really have time to organize them due to some ridiculous illness I have contracted over the past few weeks. My tiger blood and Adonis DNA are no use against coughing up phlegm for two hours every morning.
