Okay. Contest time. Once again I'm spending my hard earned/ill gotten money for the sake of a little fun.

This is the 2nd contest that I'll have, the first one I gave away a DC copy of Cosmic Smash, a few days after it's release and as any Dreamcast fan will tell ya, I can pick 'em. The main prize this time is a combo pack, a brand-new-on-its-way-right-now-from-NCSX.com-copy of Vib Ribbon as well as a brand new Gold Finger for those of you with unmodded PSX's. Vib Ribbon is a little music puzzle game that creates puzzles from any music CD you put in it. Put in Yani for a nice easy ride. Put in Wagner and your fingers will bleed. This game is DESTINED to be a classic. Even if you're not interested in playing it, pick it up and sit on it for a few months and sell it on eBay for $50 when NCSX exhausts it's supply! Plus you have the Gold Finger to use or sell (explain to the little kid down the street how it'll play copied games! Sell it for $100! Be creative!!! *we do not endorse piracy or rom pirates, but there is a devious amount of irony in the above scenario, I think :) *.

Here's the prize structure:

1st Place: Brand New Vib Ribbon and Gold Finger.
2nd Place: Used copy of Moby Dick, by Herman Melville autographed by Blaine but I will sign it "Gord"...to remind everyone that 2nd place is the first loser :) .
3rd Place: Soccer Kid for the Amiga CD32!!! How can you resist that!?!?!?

Here are the rules, pay attention as they are SLIGHTLY different this time around.

Everyone must pay $1 to enter. PayPal me the dollar. If you doubt my honest (as some may) you can ask around, I'm a stand up guy. I won't take your money.

After you pay your dollar email me , do NOT post your answers here. Send all emails to blaine@ihateclowns.com .

Here's the game:

I have 20 pictures that have been taken from various video game boxes or manuals from various video games....various systems. The winner will be the person who correctly names the most games AND systems. This doesn't mean you have to know the system, but that is the tie breaker. If you know the game is Dance Dance Revolution, that's fine. But if someone else knows it's DDR and knows it's for Dreamcast, then they would win a tie. Got it? So even if you don't know the system, guess. It can't hurt you.

Also as with the last time you can donate an additional 2 dollars and I'll credit you a correct answer no questions asked. So if you only get 3 right, you can PayPal another 2 dollars and your total automatically jumps up to 4.

You can buy a maximum of 5 answers ($10 donated) to add to your total.

The winner is the person with the highest score (1 point for each correct guess, 1 point for every additional $2 donated).

If you have any questions don't hesitate to ask.

All procedes (not profits, procedes. I collect $10. I donate $10. I collect $100. I donate $100.) will go to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.

and as a special bonus, the first 10 entries submited get an ADDITIONAL POINT FREE!

Good Luck to everyone!

Here they are!

I also point out that you may change your answers at no additional cost. Once you pay your buck you may alter any and all of your answers for the duration of the contest. The contest will be over in 1 week.

The winner is the person who submits the most correct answers FIRST. If you submit a set of answers with 4 correct and then resubmit one with only 3 correct, the original one still stands, I'll let you know you did better the first time.

However if you got another one right and raised your total to 5 correct answers, then you have a new time of submission.

Dearest Blaine,

You have way to much time on your hands.

Apparently you need more work to keep you busy during time that we are supposedly paying you.

Henceforth you shall have the duty, nay privilege, of cleaning the executive bathroom with a toothbrush.

Sincerely,
Your Boss

You have that game? I've been looking for it for awhile. You willing to sell it to a poor, unpriviledged soul like me?

Someone delete this thread.

I'm seriously disapointed.

Whether it's you people can't trust me (with a dollar! a dollar.) or you just don't give a shit about a worth while cause.

How much do video games cost? $30, $40? I'm giving away a game and an external mod chip and people who spend hundreds of dollars on games can't give a single solitary fucking dollar to charity.

What am I going to do? Run off with the crazy $20 that I'd get?! MAYBE if I was lucky I'd make back the cost for the game and chip. Aside from the fact that I was giving ALL the money away, which means either way I'm eating the cost of the game. If one person would have given me one dollar I would have cut a check for a buck to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. If I was going to burn someone, let alone a whole forum of people I'd probably do it for something a little more significant than the cost of a chinese dinner.

If someone thought either of them they are massively pathetic and are in need of some serious self-analyzation.

I'm ashamed that I thought I could find some good will on this board.

Hey Blaine, I'm sorry this contest isn't doing as well as you'd like, but I think it's too damn hard! I don't care if people tell me "you're not hardcore enough if you don't know all the pics". I don't really care, but I also don't know what's in most of those pics. I really think this is a great idea, but your execution could be flawed.

I would have happily participated, except for the fact that I only recognise one or two of the games. It has nothing to do with you or the money, Blaine.
