This contest has been a blast for me!!

I've enjoyed other submissions and creating my own.

Thanks to neowin.net for the opportunity to participate in this contest.

This is the "radio edit" version of the Dragon Song. I had to trim a lot to make it fit under 1 minute.

After the contest has been decided, I may release the "extended re-mix" version, complete with extended, explicit lyrics

and musical accompaniment. I have included the lyrics in the text document so you can sing along if you like.

I hope you have as much fun listening as I did writting and singing!

GOOD LUCK TO ALL CONTESTANTS!

Hello!

Here comes my contribution, a ballad. Enjoy the Swenglish.

This morning when I woke up, there was a dragon in my bathtub

I was surprised, it was tiny, small, not supersized.

The dragon was from a fairytale, from a market where it was for sale

He's now my friend, together lots of time we're gonna spend.

The dragon's gonna help me travel far, see the world as if I was a star

I feel like Superman, and I've got this great master plan.

I'm gonna help the week and poor, on my around-the-world 24/7 tour

And when we're done, we're gonna do yet another run.

Here be dragons my entry! It's a charming tale of how I'd be an abysmal dragon owner, after trying to bring dragon diets roaring and flaming into the 21st century.

WARNING: May contain traces of ukulele.

Who won in Notebooks.com?? I thought it was Daniel.. they changed it to ChrisTheFeral lol.. and he was the one complaining that Daniel only has 4 votes and was not eligible for the price..

I legitimatly feel bad for Daniel, he may not have met the criteria to win, but he was announced the winner and I'm sure he was extremely excited. Nearly a full day later, the judge(s) take it away from him. Makes me wish there was another Dragon that they could have given him. I sincerly feel sorry for him.

I didn't really joined the contest over Notebooks.com because 1) I sucked at tutorials, 2) I don't have dedicated friends to vote for me on the internet..

But people keep on complaining that it turned into a "Spam Post" contest.. lol..

Here is my advert for KFD (If I had a dragon).

?Stuck for that choice pop down to your local Kentucky Fried Dragon, and then try our new manly sized KFD bucket. Enough to feed a thousand soldiers, with its new freshly cut and fried chips and tubs of coleslaw to help each bite of succulent dragon meat. Guaranty to satisfy the most unruly of children. A better still, we are offering not 1, not 2, but 3 bottles of our strongest ale with every KFD bucket. So you never need to go hungry again. Its Talon Lickin? Good.

This project is not to be eaten without adult supervision; the product may contain ingredients of an unnatural origin; may contain nuts; bones; devoured knights; or unlucky adventurers... and cheese. In some case the product may cause death, but one is insured that this only happens occasionally. Once the product has been purchase there is a no return policy.'

Cheers Daz

Hello all,

You may have to turn your speakers up, I hope everyone likes my entry, I had fun doing it.

Good luck to everybody!!

I noticed that you really cant hear it to well, my mic is'nt all that great, but here are the words:

If I had a real life dragon he would be my pet, his

name would be Kitty.

Kitty can fly, but not very well, he has bad eyesight,

he crashed into a telephone pole, which uprooted, he

got tangled in the wires which uprooted all the poles

in the neighborhood.

That was the day that aunt ethel was getting a secret

recipe from aunt Joline and only got half of it,

well aunt joline died the next day, so aunt ethel

never got that recipe.

One time we were passing a ball back and forth which

didnt last long, Kitty hit it with his tail and it

went through 25 houses,

needless to say it had hit one blind man and knocked

him down the stairs, he didnt even have a chance to

see what was coming.

Kitty really don't mean to hurt anyone, just don't

hand feed him, my friend billy bob went to feed kitty

out of his hand one day,

well billy bob now has no right arm.

I will never forget the day he accidently burned my grandma's wig, and

everyone found out she was bald.

Enough of the stories, there are to many to tell, if I

had a dragon, this is just a little taste of what he would

be like.

Visual effects include options for masking, blue-screen, distortions, rotations, colour tools, blurring, obscuring and others. Configurable keyboard shortcuts and interface layouts. Rendering is done using a separate non-blocking process so it can be stopped, paused and restarted. Kdenlive also provides a script called the Kdenlive Builder Wizard (KBW) that compiles the latest developer version of the software and its main dependencies from source, to allow users to try to test new features and report problems on the bug tracker. Project files are stored in XML format. An archiving feature allows exporting a project among all assets into a single folder or compressed archive.

    • Here's how to watch the Xbox Games Showcase today and what to expect

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      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.

    • 007 First Light review: Satisfying spy adventure that James Bond needed

      By Nick H. · Posted

      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.
