Thanks for the update. Not impatient, just anxious to play Mafia 2 as it is the weekend and super bored.

I agree I totally misjudged the judges humor level on that one.Wasn't really disappointed that i lost per say, but was a little disappointed that i lost to a random in game thong shot seriously??


True that, I've seen similar thong shots like that before on many other gaming sites. http://www.google.com/search?q=left+4+dead+2+thong

Nonetheless, congrats to the winners. I managed to win the games, just waiting for a PM back.


Ehh on the other hand i did win the games guess i should be happy with that.Means they did at least "Get" the humor in my shots cause i know i certainly wasn't picked do to the beauty of my screen shots lol.


I thought my humor entry was better than most, but eh... I guess that's just me.

Well I guess you can't predict something as subjective as humor. Partly why I figured going with shots closer to photography might help, as I know this site has a strong association with that hobby. Was glad to see at least someone in the comments appreciated rockshark. Looking at the winner I probably would have done better with the piss shot haha http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5259/5530666110_3b124878a5_b.jpg

My thoughts exactly.If i had known that's what makes them giggle, I would have loaded up a copy of Grand Theft or Bloodlines and gave them all the boobies,thong, and prostitute shots there funny bones could handle.Maybe even a few hobos peeing in public for good measure.

That aside i also found your rockshark very amusing.Kept making me think of some parallel universed naruto, where kisame used earth style jutsu (kudos if you any idea what the i'm talking about).Also found the glitched game with the teeth in the back of the head creepily amusing, also liked the "I ain't fraid o no ghost" shot.

It's been 1 month now i'm waiting for my prize & no co-operation from MSI whatsoever.I think if MSI is organizing such a big competition , then you should be responsible of ditributing the prizes in a timely manner.I think i'm the only one now who still did not get his prize after more than 1 month. :(

Umm... I don't think so.

Your account (which differs from one of the winners only in that it starts with a digit '1' instead of a letter 'l') was registered *after* the contest closed. Scammer begone!

wow that is a lame attempt at cheating. You can click on anyones username and view all of their posts. It is not hard to see that the user in question didn't even post anything in the screenshots contest. It is people like this who ruin it for everyone.

It's actually even lamer than that. Turns out the IP address matches that of another forum member (who did enter the contest, but did not win). So not only a cheater, but a sore loser as well...

Lamer still, the original submitted entries were stolen fakes, not in-game screen captures.
