Nah that's Syko, I'm on the left.
I wish I could take 100% credit for the image, but in important matters like these I always use my best resource - Syko. :D
Thanks for the feedback! As cgoodno mentions, in a user-driven scenario the first step is having contributors submit correctly, and approve and report accordingly. That said, making sure submissions meet the N4G Guidelines is a big part of our Moderators' jobs, and users accurately reporting those submissions helps make sure problems can be dealt with quickly!
Guilty as charged - I didn't know it was *that* funny, though...
Thanks for the catch! That would, in fact, be *April's* contests :)
Nono, don't worry Nate-Dog -while it's really helpful (and we did ask entrants of the Kia-Kinect contest to have the email portion complete) it is not required for contest entry. I get in touch with all the winners whose info I dont already have.
Don't know if that's GREAT news, since it still doesn't mean you won - but you were never DQed at least :D
Hey, Raendom!
Our contests aren't set in stone, we did the blog and user review contests for a few months, then switched it up. Keeping it fresh, you know :P
So, (this goes for everyone) be sure to let us know about contests you like, don't like, want more or less of, and different ones entirely!
Promise it's not April Fools - though I thought about it ;)
@DEagle-izer - Rage is referring to a PSN code he won in the February Forum Lottery. March winners will be announced soon!
Haha, well I just sent you a PM, just in case, but yeah - it was already emailed to you :D
It was already sent to the email you provided - I'll PM you the details.
Any thoughts on the game/preview?
(I included the trailer, available on the mainsite submission, below if you're interested)
Reminds me that I either need to thank you for the compliment on the Witcher 2 review, or ask if you're trying to troll me! ;)
Oh, man, it's all so true - and I'm still playing the game! So, cash-in successful?
Does the party comment "Looks like we made it" make anyone else burst into song??
I have to think that that kind of perseverance in the face of (er, are we sticking with the ocean thing?) sharks and octopi is critical in this industry.
Eitan stopped by N4G the other week and partly in response to the discussion here decided to create this series. (This is the fifth and final, the earlier ones are linked above.)
In this grand finale Eitan talks about their "last ditch" design and deciding which prototype to run with.
He'll be by to respond to comments and questions, so post away!
Eitan, through all of these posts you've been extremely positive and upbeat -...
Eitan stopped by N4G the other week and partly in response to the discussion here decided to create this series. (This is the fourth, the earlier ones are linked above.)
In this iteration Eitan talks about starting with a new engine, IGF and the Indie Game Challenge and game tester feedback.

In a month? Roughly 100,000 German speaking people visit N4G.
I appreciate the concern over untranslated content, but this video is here because it has only been uploaded (possibly leaked?) in German, and is not available in English. If you'd rather not see it, I guess you can wait!
Edit: English now available and trailer updated!
It's just an audience and exclusivity issue. Whenever something is on one platform (and is desirable) the audience of the other platform(s) wants to know when they can share that experience. People that can't play the game aren't going to be interested in preserving any perceived uniqueness, they just want to play!
Really interesting interview, I like what she has to say about the commonly held perceptions being based on a gap in understanding. That rings true with much of my experience, makes me think of the folks I know that like to watch, not play, sports everyday and still think gaming is weird. ;)
