IT'S TEMPMAS!
MERRY TEMPMAS TO ALL MEMBERS OF OUR WONDERFUL COMMUNITY!​

It's been another wonderful year on GBAtemp: the blooming of the Switch scene, the Homebrew Bounty, the launch of our Webcomic, solving our server issues for good, and so much more. But HEY, wait, it isn't even over yet!

You might wonder: what about Tempmas this year? Every year there used to be multiple competitions and fun activities, so what about 2018? First off, due to the Bounty the budget has taken a hit (we're donating over $4000 to homebrew authors), and let's not forget the social media raffle. However, not to worry: we've got something in store for you! Read on.

What's up for grabs!

We're proud to announce that there will be 10 prizes up for grabs for this raffle. Check this out:
1ST PRIZE: a brand new Nintendo Switch console!
2nd: a $100 Amazon gift card
3rd: a $100 Amazon gift card
4th: a $100 Amazon gift card
5th: a $50 Amazon gift card
6th: a $50 Amazon gift card
7th: a $25 Amazon gift card
8th: a $25 Amazon gift card
9th: a $25 Amazon gift card
10th: a $25 Amazon gift card

How to enter?

So, do you guys wanna know how to win this? It is pretty easy, but there is just one tiny little requirement.
To enter, you must post a reply to this thread respecting the following rules:
RULE 1: Post a picture of your Christmas tree, or Christmas decorations from your own home.
RULE 1 (ALT): We want to give everyone a chance: if you don't celebrate Christmas, post a picture of your game console/gaming PC setup.
RULE 2: All pictures (whether you post a pic of your Christmas tree or your gaming setup) must include a reference to GBAtemp and to the year 2018, so that we know you didn't steal the picture off the Internet.
RULE 3: You must post before the end of the year (ie. before 2019 begins). Do not worry about the time zone as we will lock the thread on January 1st when all time zones have passed the new year.

Further details

The winners will be randomly selected during a live Twitch stream as usual, which will take place early January. If you win the Nintendo Switch but already own one, you can request 3x $100 Amazon gift cards instead.

We hope you have enjoyed this year at GBAtemp. What do you expect for 2019? Tell us more about how you'd like GBAtemp to improve and become (or remain) the best independent gaming community on the Web!

Merry Tempmas everybody,

Here's my contribution from my halfway home. This year we'll feed and fulfill the wishes of 25 kids/youths.

Merry Xmas to all!

Might as well participate, I suppose. Here's my (cheap) setup:

Definitely not the prettiest ever (no money for RGB, only shitty red lights in my PC) but it's the cleanest since ages ago. Also hard to capture in a single picture that doesn't look potato.

Also question, is the prize Switch confirmed to be hackable?

Happy Christmas Tempers & a Happy New Year!

This is my pride and joy, it was worth getting it out just for Christmas so I can share the photo with you guys. It’s all 100% original and in pristine condition. The console still comes with all the original manuals, inserts everything.

Merry Christmas and joyous Tempmas to all (and whatever other holiday you celebrate)! Good luck with the raffle.

 

[Sakitoshi]

It's hard taking a picture of a small screen with the morning sun at your back, maybe I'll take another at night time.

 

[Maq47]

My tree is vastly unimpressive this year, so I went with my PC and Switch instead. Merry Tempmas, everyone!

 

[jeannotte]

Merry Christmas to everyone

Spoiler: Merry christmas

[nodnyl10]

What an amazing tree! I find it so hard to decorate it well. Might post mine later and show you what I mean haha

Its also hard to set up, because the christmas lights get tangled altogether. Sometimes, the Christmas Tree is still there until halfway of January because i am the only one to put it away hahaha.

[SunTea07]
