lol you mad bro has become a way of trash talking in online games here lately, I don't know how it started but its really picked up. Espicially in the HoN community.
I heard the "u mad bro" and "come at me bro" started because of some australian ex-wow gamer who was quite famous for reaching rank 14 aswell as some videos he posted on youtube. I dont know how true that is thou.
I personally hate the phrase, mostly because it was widely used in a thread referring to the norwegian terrorist who played wow and ever since i've directly connected the phrase to that happening =/ .
Anyways, back ontopic. I really liked the tractor beam one, simple yet so funny Getting reeeeeaally tired of the various "i need beta key" ones. Matrix and banana peels are getting old aswell, there where some funny ones in the beginning but afther the 20th one i just couldnt enjoy them anymore.
I like the HL2 Portal gun one... it's smart; not really laugh-out-loud funny but it's safe & win-a-contest funny. The only one that made me laugh out loud though was the cockmeat-sandwich one just because it was so silly.
I'm being pretty brutal here though. I haven't seen em all yet but it's hilarious reading through them.
Ones with trollface and meme references should be disregarded.
IMHO.
<_<
I agree with this. It turns me off right away because it feels like they're just using someone else's creation. Moderators will probably feel the same way I'm guessing.
*thinking with portals* pretty much falls in the meme category thou.
As long as they've managed to make something funny, memes are fine imo. Just pasting in a trollface doesnt cut it, but if they've added some funky lines that made me smile then why not.
Also, let the mods speak on their own behalf, they havent said "no meme's" so far...They did say "add captions" thou, but tbh most of the "caption only" ones are pretty dull(....so far)
Yeah the portal one was cool, well the first one was anyway. I definitely saw at least one other portal one after that. The first banana one posted with Donkey Kong from Mario Kart was funny and well-done, I thought, but the cleverness started to wear off after the tenth banana one. There seem to be a pretty limited number of ideas with this one. There are a ton of Liu Kang ones also, some better than others. And then there are a ton where there are like, 6 or 7 different speech bubbles all saying completely different and unrelated things.

Yeah that's what I meant. I was trying to be less-harsh but basically I feel the meme's are just getting tiring and they haven't been as funny overall. Is the portal gun a meme? I guess I haven't seen it around much... but it fit brilliantly into this pic.
Also, I said I was GUESSING what the mod's were feeling. If I was judging I'd be pretty pissed off by meme's and troll-faces by now lol.
There have been a few good entries, but most of them seem like lame brain farts to be honest. Next week I hope there's a limit of one entry per person. Maybe then people would put some more thought into what they're making, and we'd get some higher quality entries.
I also think a caption contest should be about adding a caption to the picture, and not about pasting in tons of stuff from other pictures. If doing that is encouraged, it should probably be called something other than a caption contest. That's my opinion anyway.

One entry per person will only lead to mass account creation. And I really hope some mod will clarify the photoshop or not question at some point.
I tried browsing through a dozen or so pages - wow the quality and effort put into some of these is pretty disheartening. That said, mine still makes me chuckle every time ;-p

Mass account creation can be avoided simply by adding a rule saying you need to have been a member for more than a week to be eligible. I realize it excludes some people who might otherwise have been encouraged to start participating in the forums, but I think it's fair that people who have been a part of the community for a while gets a chance at winning.

One did, and he said it was okay to photoshop. It doesn't say in their original post but there is a mod post saying you can, somewhere.
Not going to get my hopes up for this one. Chances are way too small of actually getting a key, but I entered. I will continue entering one entry into any contest I find, so that I can have a chance, no matter how small it might be.
Not trying to be negative or ungrateful for this contest, but there needs to be a more logical? way to do this. Maybe somehow track people actively listening to a podcast and have a random drawing for all that are on, or just reduce the time allowed for this contest as their is no way the staff can objectively review all those posts as its just too large a sample and I am sure it will be just "settling" on somebodies, whether they were new or a seasoned vet of the site. I mean, I just now started posting, but I have been visiting this site when IT was diablo3...some have just shown up via word of mouth to try and score a beta key and I get that its gonna score new members, but are they really here for the long term? Oh well, good luck to all that tried and good luck to the winner....may Gheed guide you to the promised land!
Edit: I also did not review most of them before I posted and realized a few attempted similar to mine when I woke up and decided to shop one (Portal attempt). That said, after I looked at most I realized many had just grabbed an image online and slapped on there...at least I tried to make mine legit...and added a turret! Link to page!
I liked a few and really only liked ones that were shopped and not just text on there, as most were just mindless and lame.
