If a mod could delete my last 2 submissions that would be great, seeing how they where about the laptop and not an actual dragon.

Now for my correct submission

This is the one I want to be judged on, not the other 2 that will be deleted.

The point of view of my entry is what happens when your dragon dies.

I call this "Death of a Dragon"

I am so happy for this contest! I have entered every one of them and have not won yet. In every contest I wanted to win so I could use the Dragon as a tool for my music... Now I have a chance, you all can see how serious I am about winning this laptop. I am a folk/country singer and I know it is not very popular but I love what I do and I hope you all enjoy the short little song I created very fast using audacity.

I still have hope for winning this Dragon.

Thank you Neowin for giving me this opportunity and voting for me.

i'm striving to win myself because as of today my computer finally died out on me when i was editing a video for another contest.

me being poor, winning this would be a high blessing.

A lot of cool entries so far, but I notice that a lot of persons are not meeting the criteria unless I am misinterpreting.

- Persons are sending entries like they already own a dragon, the rule said 'if'.

- When Rob says real dragons is he referring to the mythical fire breathing dragon or the over grown lizards that live on an island and are known to attack humans, eat meat and have a poisonous saliva that can kill you if you come in contact with it. I hear if you actually touch them you can die since their body carry a lot of dangerous bacteria. So its kinda hard to imagine people owning one of these. I think they are also known as monitor lizards.

Okay I realized I need a post about a real Dragon so here is my song about a Dragon I fell in love with and it just wasn't safe falling in love with a Dragon... Heck where's a girl to put him... Hahaha kinda reminds me of Donkey and his Dragon Wife off of Shrek! LOL

So without further ado, here you go...oh ya remember it's a country song :)

Hope you like it! it's called 'Thanks Dragon',

Mya

Sooo my song "Thanks Dragon" is my entry for the contest out of the 2 songs I made.

Haha, I'm kinda humiliated.. I went to the internet cafe this morning and recorded it.. lol.. I don't a PC, never owned.. I'm just renting it.. I'm just a poor guy from the Philippines (as most people are)..

People laughing and looking at me while recording this.. They thought I was stupid hahaha.. Wish I own a PC :)

Ok Here's my entry

The whole story is that If I had a Dragon, I'll sell it... lol... That's why I'm advertising it..

What would I do with the money?? Buy a computer of course :p or maybe a start a whole new life...

Well, I can categorically state that no entries will be judged on the criteria of "adherence to recognised folklore"! In other words, don't worry too much if you ignore any fact related to poisonous saliva. The little critter can still be the life and soul of your BBQs without concern.

Man, Its going to suck for the judges to just sit around and listen to like literally "THOUSANDS" of submissions. Lets see, whats 1000 x 1minutes? Oh yeah! A THOUSAND minutes.... of individuals (mostly males) talking about a mythical ugly dragon and what they would do with it.

Thats like... almost 17hrs... Ouch!

Well, good luck to you guys, and keep those submissions coming, they're all great :p

Wow really a thousand? I am glad I sang 2 songs than LOL

Some of the poems were really fantastic though.

I thought I went through them all there was no 1000 entries at least not yet. and all the posts in this forum are not all entries either. But there are some very good posts that's for sure!

The staff team as a whole will judge, but it's going to be me who'll edit together a summary of the best submissions in a narrated 'montage'. THAT is going to be one long night!!

Of course you get to hear my shexy voice which is a plus.

    • Here's how to watch the Xbox Games Showcase today and what to expect by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The June games showcase week has been a packed one, with everything from major presentations like Sony and Summer Game Fest to indie-focused reveals coming in almost every day. Now, it's almost time for another big one, with Microsoft bringing its Xbox Games Showcase back later today. This is a double feature too, with a Gears of War E-Day deep dive also being attached to it. For anyone wanting to tune in online, the 2026 Xbox Games Showcase is kicking off at 10 AM PT | 1 PM ET | 6 PM BST | 7 PM CEST later today, June 7. The event will be available to watch on the official Xbox YouTube (4K 60FPS), Twitch, Facebook, Steam, Amazon Live, and other portals. Separate livestreams for American Sign Language and Audio Description will also be available. "This year marks 25 years of XBOX, and this Showcase is poised to be a true celebration, offering world premieres, new gameplay, fresh updates, and more for a swathe of projects we cannot wait to share," said Microsoft about this presentation. With a new CEO behind it that is pulling off some interesting moves, Xbox may have some surprises to reveal today. New looks at first-party games like Halo Campaign Evolved from Halo studios, Fable from Playground Games, InXile Entertainment's Clockwork Revolution, Mojang's Minecraft Dungeons II, and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 from Infinity Ward are to be expected here. We may finally get to see the new Blade from Arcane Studios in action and a new Persona game from Atlus at the showcase too. Surprise announcements may also arrive from other Microsoft-owned studios like Bethesda, MachineGames, Ninja Theory, Obsidian, Rare, World's Edge, or Blizzard. Considering how every new release nowadays is staying away from November and December to avoid Grand Theft Auto VI's release, any launch dates Microsoft announces will probably skip those months as well. Once the Xbox Games Showcase ends, Microsoft will immediately kick off the Gears of War: E-Day Direct. This deep dive into the upcoming prequel from The Coalition should attach gameplay footage and perhaps a release window to the highly anticipated project.
    • People in the '50s and '60s had the same attitude, and we're still here over a half century later.
    • So after some fiddling I was able to get it to run at a pretty stable 30FPS. I'm slightly surprised about how much fiddling I had to do to get there though given what I thought was reasonable hardware: Processors: 16 × AMD Ryzen 7 7840HS w/ Radeon 780M Graphics Memory: 16 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor 1: AMD Radeon 780M Graphics Graphics Processor 2: AMD Radeon RX 7700S I think I could do it better if I use Linux rather than Windows, Windows RAM usage is stupid without stripping the system down. But once I got it working in a reasonable state, it was so awesome! I felt like a new Bond! If anyone has any advice to get things going a bit smoother FPS-wise, I'd appreciate it.
