Design
a
CONTEST!



NOTE: VOTING ENDS DECEMBER 2ND!





WE'RE MAKING A CONTEST

And you get to vote on the theme and the prizes (which are going to be upcoming or newly released video games)!



HOW ARE WE GOING TO DO WHAT I DON'T

You had a few days to nominate what you want and how you want to get it. We're take the ones that seem like the most fun/best ones etc. and letting you vote for them.

We're going to be offering a digital download of a game (or possibly a hard-copy order, details will follow on that if need be). You guys need to pick what games you're excited about so you can get it for free.

We also want a theme for the contest so you'll be working on something the community will be hyped about. What will it be for? A game? An art contest? A music contest? You don't know! We just want a theme for a thing that you will do! Vote vote!



WHAT WERE THE RULES FOR NOMINATIONS

For GAMES:
- For NON-INDIE GAMES (e.g., games by Blizzard, Valve, Squeenix, etc.), it must be a game with a release date of November 1st, 2010 -through- January 30th, 2011.
- For INDIE GAMES (e.g., Samarost titles, Minecraft, flash games, etc.), it must be a game that costs money to download. Release date doesn't matter.

For THEMES:
- Nothing pornographic or adult-related (including obvious innuendos or curse words).
- Can be meme-related so long as it's an HBGames meme.
- Can be a person, place, thing, or concept. (e.g., Charles Barkley, Your Attic, A Plush Godzilla Toy, Friendship)
- Should be something you think people of this community would get excited about.





HOW DO I NOMINATE?

Nominating is closed! Vote vote vote!
Please make sure you vote for THREE games and ONE theme, not 4 games or 4 themes, etc.
Don't break the vote :O
 
Dear Venetia,

that is not what i meant in terms of theme. What i meant is that each individual bases the game off a folklore. Everyone's folklore could be different. Having the same folklore would be rather drag.

Sincerely,
bacon
 
Dear bacon,

I have no idea wth you are talking about.

Please edit the voting options with w/e you are talking about before more people vote in it.

Thanks,

vernisha
 
i did i revote i didnt know if you didnt include it on purpose or on accident so i assumed accident and changed it before voting got really heavy sorry
 
Oh man, choosing between those themes was difficult. I went with nuclear winter in the end, but they all sound like a lot of fun!
 
i thought luchadores was a p cute theme idea.

i'm also surprised by people being so excited about fallout:nv over cataclysm.

i should have put more indie titles in there too even though they weren't nom'd. well, i might offer them anyway and pay for them myself if xmas doesn't tap me out.

i'm interested to know what indie titles (up to $15) you'd pick.

minecraft?
joe danger?
trine?
torchlight?
super meat boy?
emberwind?
machinarium?
clickr?
mon & bot?
others (specify)?

we're an indie games site that doesn't support indie games?
c'monnn

machinarium is amaaazing

someone should just try trawling around tigsource or another place with lots of indie game news and find some cool stuff to link - I would but I'm going to be gone for the rest of the day

The only games I'm interested in on that list are Minecraft, Joe Danger (Played the demo, it's great!) and Machinarium, I either own or don't care about the others, lol.

You're absolutely right. We're bad people :eek::

I nominate Recettear: An Item Shop's Tale

An intriguing Indie RPG now available on Steam, since HBGames loves the RPGs.

Dunno much bout indie titles, but I can tell you why so few people want WOW Cataclysm...

I don't own WOW, so an expansion pack would be p. useless to me, considering I do not own, nor have ever played the game, and I'm sure there's others out there like me.

Minecraft is pretty excellent, Machinarium is beautiful, and I've heard that Super Meat Boy is really fun.

and sorry I guess that most people here don't play WoW! if this was about a month ago I'd be all over it but honestly not nowadays.
 
wow: cataclysm is $30 and base-game wow is about $15 so actually if that were the grand prize and you didn't have the base game we'd probably foot the bill for the base game, too.

but if you HAVE the base game, then that saved money's an indie game you or someone else could get!

Awesome Bro

Meh I've got Cataclysm preordered anyways, going to pick it up at midnight with my mates, lol.

If I were to buy an indie game from that list, it'd be hands down Minecraft, it's got so much buzz and the free version is pretty fun, I'd love to experience the real deal lol, I'll have to buy it someday actually, hopefully before beta so I don't have to pay as much.
