I think they'll like take the most funniest parts from each "top 5"

and then mix it into one file, where everyone randomally comes in different order saying random funny things one after another.

well mine can't be in it then, cuz min has music :( :)

They won't remix it other than putting the top 5 one after another. If they remix it any other way they will un do the original work the posters.

actually a good re-mix enhances the original work (or works as it is). i did my own just for fun and it has a combination of sung and spoken words and music. naturally its heavy on my own material simply because i am most familiar with my own submission.

i did it early in the morning after pulling a midnight shift. my only regret is that i was too tired to try and figure out a way to incorporate more submissions into it. as it stands, i think it has components of 7 or 8 contributions. i may work on it some more and try to include as many other posters as i can.

your submission(s) suggested that you might be skilled with piecing material together into one cohesive track. i encourage you to try your own re-mix and, after the winner is selected, share it with the other participants.

for me, doing so helped me to better appreciate others contributions to the contest. try it, its FUN!

I hope that the people who signed up *just* for the competition are impressed by the solid community here enough to stay. That was the point of neowin's angle on the competition after all... surely? Some forums would have just done it for "active" members but neowin was good enough to let everyone do it :)

Ironic you said that CwSj..........Honestly I did join up all the communities for the contest, but I am glad in a way for the contest. I found some great communities and sites that I would never had stumbled upon thanks to a highly selfish routine. My daily browsing routine is perfectly fixed, i just visit a bunch of sites, read their feeds, and thats it. Thanks to father time, i am always hard pressed to actually go ahead and search for new and interesting content!

In the past few days, its been a kinda topsy turvy relationship with the various sites I have joined. The Notebooks forum, although a good one, was limited in the discussion point of view. And I personally love to have technology based discussions! If you visit my orkut page or the tech communities there, you will see people saying "Reeve bro, please help me with this....!". And its true, i love helping people with their tech queries. Be it to buy something or even small computer related things, these queries give me a challenge I love to conquer! I have taken computer classes in my building for anyone who was interested. Most of the applicants were elderly people, but I have never seen a more enthusiastic bunch of people! Most of them skype me these days even though they stay a block away!!! hehe

I have been browsing the Neowin community, and it truly is a tightly packed community. And even though I may not be the top poster in here, thanks to my college routine, I think it would be safe to say that you'll have one more contributor in me! I'm just a bit scared of Rob!!! :p lol jus kiddin!

Cheers guys and thanks for giving us n00b's a chance to join ur community!

I think everyone is afraid of Rob, he has that odd smell after all. ;)

Seriously though, I've been around Neowin for a very long time and can say that the community is amazing, even after being gone for quite some time and returning to a group of new faces I've found a lot of the regulars from 2001/2002 are still here, that just stuns me.

That being said, we're always glad to welcome another to the fold!

The following message was posted by Rob on 05/25 in the contest submission thread. The Dragon brought me here, but the following post, and the attitude it represents, is what will keep me here;

Hey guys

Just wanted to say hi to all the new members here who signed up for this contest and to say you are more than welcome! As far as we're concerned, this contest is positive in every way. Whether a long-time Neowinian wins or not, I hope and feel many of you will stick around and become contributing members to our community. No one loses in this arrangement, so don't feel worried about being new. You're just as welcome to participate as those with thousands of posts.

Welcome to Neowin. Enjoy your stay.

thats about as close to a red carpet roll out as you could want....

PS - Cara, you are a Senior Project manager with Apple......do you mind if I ask what did you do education wise? I mean what did you graduate in etc? I am gonna start my masters soon and was hence curious :)

I have a MBA/TM (Master of Business Administration/Technology Management) as my highest level degree and currently working on my DBA (Doctor of Business Administration). Admittedly I'm taking breaks after each class or two because of the amount of work it is but... :)

hm...no news of the winner nor the shortlisted ones yet...

well, even if i dont win, i sure hope to be in one of the shortlisted ones. =D

at least i know that i'm close.

cant wait!

fiddles thumbs round and round

silently awaits in front of the computer

quietly refreshes the page

cant wait

are you allowed to tell us what you managed, or were part of creating?

I try to avoid anything quite like that, there are enough Project Managers around that I don't have to worry about being readily identified (not being on site in Cupertino very often) but if I start spitting out projects I've worked on then if I do decide to leak something I'd be busted faster than a handheld remote at Steve's keynote. ;)

I always wondered why Apple don't make Steve's remote, it always malfunctions.

Or maybe you do, you just put it in an ugly blue box so nobody knows, right? :D

Don't quote me on this but I *THINK* its is a Targus Remote that he uses.

    • They couldn't have done a better job, this is beautiful!
    • Oh, of course not. The real "victims" are the people who snipe kids in the head, have killed more journalist than all the worlds wars combined, do double tap strikes on medical personnel, claim history started on October 7th, have a $700 million dollar annual Hasbara budget and pay influencers $7k a post to spout exactly this kind of propaganda. How dare you question the most moral army in the world. Victimhood belongs to these genocidal freaks alone. Anyone who denies that is literally Hitler. If you're going to support a terrorist state, the least you could do is come up with better talking points.
    • Gears of War: E-Day brings 12-player co-op, smoother traversal mechanics, and more by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Right as the Xbox Games Showcase came to an end today, The Gears of War developer The Coalition took over to show off its next project: E-Day. This prequel project was announced back in 2024, but now we have a lot more details about its campaign, new gameplay mechanics, and even a release date. The studio says this is the first time it has managed to get the time to build the entire game in a new engine, as it had worked non-stop on new titles for years while porting classic code and assets. With Unreal Engine 5 now powering Gears of War: E-Day, The Coalition says it started completely anew, with all assets, animations, environments, and others being built from scratch. The campaign will take place across three days in the city of Kalona. The story will follow the events through the eyes of Bravo Squad. This is made up of the returning classic duo Marcus and Dom, as well as the new characters Mags Carter and Lucas Reyes. Watch the trailer below to see Marcus in action without his iconic armor and gear, just as the Locust invasion kicks off. The story will draw on classic Gears novels like Aspho Fields as well, with the studio even collaborating with author Karen Traviss. "That continuity is what makes the destruction land," says the studio. "In E-Day, you watch a living city torn apart—homes still lit, meals half-finished—while people abandon their cars and run for cover. Small details—a child’s toy, an uneaten dinner—make the loss real as everyday places collapse under the Locust assault." The movement system is getting a big overhaul here. Players will be able to slide while running, jump across gaps, climb head-height covers, and even crawl on the ground to avoid fire from enemies. As for the returning horde mode, The Coalition teased a new 12-player PvE mode. This will involve three squads of Gears going up against the incoming Locusts in larger city maps than usual. The studio says that it is going to reimagine the classic formula just as co-op games are going through a resurgence. Multiplayer was touched on today too, where Versus is coming back touting four versus four Gears PVP action set across Kalona maps. More details about multiplayer will be revealed later. Open beta weekends are kicking off this August for fans wanting to jump in early too. Gears of War: E-Day is releasing on Xbox Series X|S and PC on October 6 with pre-orders available now. It will also be a part of Xbox Game Pass on day one. Microsoft has confirmed this as an Xbox platform exclusive, as there are no plans to bring it to PlayStation or Switch.
    • Microsoft announces the return of Xbox exclusives with Gears of War and Clockwork Revolution by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Microsoft had plenty of announcements to make today at the Xbox Games Showcase celebrating 25 years of the gaming brand. Now, under the leadership of the new Xbox CEO Asha Sharma, Xbox games are going back to their original release methods. She appeared in the livestream itself to announce the return of Xbox console exclusives. This means two major upcoming games from first-party studios won't be coming to PlayStation or Nintendo consoles: Gears of War: E-Day from The Coalition and Clockwork Revolution from InExile. Both titles will only be coming out on Xbox Series X|S consoles and Windows PCs, ditching any plans they had for PlayStation. "These are not timed exclusives," confirmed Microsoft. "We’re committed to investing in and growing XBOX both on console and beyond." The company confirmed that any already announced Xbox titles for PlayStation, under previous leadership, will continue to arrive for the rival platform. This means games like the new Halo remake, Forza Horizon 6, Fable, and State of Decay 3 will still be available on PlayStation, either at launch or later. It sounds like any new projects announced by the company will avoid other consoles in the same way. Microsoft first opened the floodgates by bringing titles like Sea of Thieves, Grounded, Hi-Fi Rush, and Pentiment to PlayStation and Nintendo consoles back in 2024. Since then, almost every new game release from Xbox Game Studios has arrived for rival consoles alongside Xbox and PC. This decision follows Sony's plans to ditch its own multiplatform releases too. Outside of multiplatform live service titles, the PlayStation maker is even abandoning its PC porting endeavors that started years ago.
