   Nice entries my fellow dancers… I mean winners.

   Particularly,
   Nick: I’m jealous of your shirts.
   Tim: Can I have some of what you’re having?
   Emma: Wow, just… Damn.

   And yeah, I guess the rest of you were alright :P.

      Thanks. I thought i have enough nerdy shirts to make it work. few too many transformers ones. I need to diversify a bit more.

      I like my borderlands one. I wear it to soccer to put the opposition off.

            I don’t have any gaming underwears, but i did just give my friend some pack man boxers for his b’day.
            They had Pac-man and a ghost on the crotch with “GAME OVER” written underneath.

            I hope those are all G1 shirts and none of this Michael Bay rubbish.

               Damn straight. At least MichaelBayformers had Peter Cullen voicing Optimus.

               Of course they are all G1!

               As far as i’m concerned, the Michael Bay movies never existed!

      Oh yeah, some other comments about mine: (I’m Sean in case it wasn’t clear (seemed obvious to me, but, you know…))

      The third part was almost replaced with a similar joke about playing the campaign of modern warfare 2 (in fact, all I would have needed to change would be the title bit).

      I wanted to have a scene with animal cruelty (not really), but when I threw food into my guinea pig’s cage, for the first time in their lives they didn’t start fighting over it (give them four pieces between three pigs, and they will fight over one of them(Also, I say fight, but really they just run around the cage stealing it from each other)).

      In the second one, yes, I am just walking down my driveway, although you can’t tell, I am barefoot, and doing my hair for that scene took longer then (or is it than? English nerds, correct me please) the rest of the piece combined.

      Scene four, sadly, that is just water, and yes, cutting onions does reduce me into a quivering wreck (but in the end it was worth it).

      Scene one, it’s from Starcraft 2, for anyone who doesn’t understand, and my shirt is a scene from reservoir dogs.

      But enough about me, let’s talk about me :P.

      Still, thanks heaps Mark. Thank god I cancelled my Vanquish LE preorder a few days ago…

      Oh and I dont we think we had to specify before but for your convenience, a copy on either platform would be great 🙂

            Don’t worry Chuloopa, we go to you for the wonderful service, and the knowledge that we aren’t going to be accidentally shot in the leg by some stupid 16 year old who was forced into a job by their parents.
            You will always have business, so long as you remember to always deliver it with a smilegrimaceglarepoutbakeoffangerdisgustsnarlsuprise.

      I ended up recording mine using the video mode on a crappy little point-and-click camera, so I’m sure you could manage something.

      The secret, is that if all else fails, work in some self deprecating humour to make the viewers feel bad 😛 (No Shame! No Shame! No Shame!).

         I possibly would have given it a shot with stop motion if I had the time. This week has just been way too hellish for me to play around with anything though really 🙁

   It’s been a busy/stressful couple of weeks leading into the end of the semester, so this is just an awesome way to top things off – thanks very much Mark 😀

   And don’t worry, Chuloopa: when the zombie apocalypse arrives, people can’t afford to be cheap with weapons, lest the zombies eat them 😉

    Congratulations to all the winners and thanks to Kotaku and Platinum games for putting this competition together.

    Serrells, nice work on running your first competition here at Kotaku… and I’m not just saying that because I won. Looking forward to more competitions in the future and getting stuck into Vanquish when it arrives.
