CB's Crazy Indie Give-Away: Round 2!! (New Year's Bonus!)
Check here for full contest details. Remember, your response is your entry, and you can "gift" your prize to someone else (provided they're willing to divulge an email address)!
Round 2 is going to run for 2 Days. We'll say the cut-off point is 12PM Central Time (to make sure I'm out of bed... 0_o) on Saturday. Happy New Year!
Prizes up for grabs today:
Prize 1: World of Goo
Prize 2: World of Goo & Trine
Prize 3: The Humble Bundle #2(11 Games!! 0_o)
But wait a second... what have we here?? *** rummages around in his Gmail inbox *** Well... it looks like I mis-counted... I seem to have an extra Minecraft gift code. Well... I guess we'll ring in the New Year with a 4th Prize!!!
Prize 4: Minecraft
It wouldn't be a fitting New Year's Give-Away if I didn't ask the question: What's your New Year's resolution going to be??

My resolution is to always try something I haven't had before when I go out to eat at a restaurant!
(This was my resolution last year and it's been the most enjoyable resolution I've ever had!)

My new years resolution is to get a new hobby. I must branch off of video games. Maybe an instrument...
Re: CB's Crazy Indie Give-Away: Round 2!! (New Year's Bonus!
My good resolution is getting experience in "rhum arrangé".
I don't know how you call that in english, it's rum in which you put vanilla, cinnamon and other stuff for a couple months.

My 2011 resolution is to finish the french translation I have promised for Book 2.

Sure, what the heck. Mine is to start going to the strength+conditioning classes again at my kung fu school. It's nice feeling in-shape!

My new year's resolution is 1920 by 1200, same as it's been as long as I've had this iMac.
That and finally getting my updated database functioning for tracking my work. (And I'm playing to give you more entries, because if I win I'll be giving them away.)

Re: CB's Crazy Indie Give-Away: Round 2!! (New Year's Bonus!
Hope everyone had a great new year!
Now then, Round 2 is complete... all that's left to do is select 4 winners through process of random selection.
I've come up with a new way to pick those names, one that's more entertaining - for myself anyway!
Stay tuned...

Re: CB's Crazy Indie Give-Away: Round 2!! (New Year's Bonus!
Sorry for sleeping in everyone...
For those who couln't figure out from the little hint I left, I decided to let the prize results be determined in an Unreal Tournament botmatch. I assigned the prizes as such:
1st Place - The Humble Indie Bundle
2nd Place - Minecraft
3rd Place - World of Goo & Trine
4th Place - World of Goo
The placings were slightly weighted by preference (hence Minecraft being placed above the "2-pack" of W & T), but since the results would still be random it was acceptable.
It was a brutal match, but the results are in:
1st Place: Kreador Freeaxe
2nd Place: fudgemaster
3rd Place: Sir Funk
4th Place: ManusDei
It was the first time I've ever taken the time to watch bots battle it out (or record a timedemo, for that matter 0_o). You could see some glaring issues with the pathing AI: I watched one bot run around in circles, trying to decide between picking up some health or joining a battle in progress (the desire for health eventually one over), and at one point another just voluntarily jumped into the void, apparently deciding suicide was the better option. Granted it's an almost 12 year old game, but it still makes me appreciate when a developer can "Get it right" on that sort of thing.
I was going to type up some sort of amusing commentary, but I think the results waited long enough. XD
Congrats to the winners, and the not-winners will move on to the next round!

(Does anyone else ever hop into UT occasionally, slide the timer down way low, and have fun bot-killing?)
