Remember: "Reading" is a rainbow. "Redding" is a railroad.

Either GLaDOS for the polite dinner conversation or PacMan so that I could feed him a plateful of eyes just to listen to him squirm.

Two rolls packing tape
Three boxes toothpicks
One butter knife
One hunting knife
One rubber knife
A pack of playing cards (with or without holes)
Two space reindeer
One inflatable raft
and
Whatever leftovers are in my fridge at the time.

Or switch out the inflatable raft and space reindeer for a solar frigate and throw in a large hadron collider for good measure.

Either way I'm gold.

I have heard this theory about this contest before from someone who had entered it the last go 'round. They had said that the five finalists were all rubbish and that many good ideas were left by the wayside.

My question is: do you have any solid proof of these claims? For instance, did you or someone you know enter the last contest with some amazing idea that didn't get picked and then some game studio, like Microsoft, Ninjabee or another, went on to produce said game without giving you a cut? Because if there is proof of this then I would for sure pay heed to your claims... otherwise I can believe nothing but that they really are looking to produce the best games from the best entrants possible.

At least I'd like to hope so.
