i'll be the moany one and say he shud be disqualified because he didnt follow rules (1.4mb file)

:laugh:

If I had to to say something, Id say the following:

1: This guy is professional....Top notch audio system, top notch production.....etc. I think he could have bought the laptop himself and for a few others on Neowin and still have money.

2: There was more than one person involved

3: He really didn't say what he would do with his pet dragon; He just invented a story.

It was very good, very well produced, but I think there were a couple better entrys (excluding mine)

The shortlist should have been posted and in a period of days, member's would (tracking IPs) vote on the shortlist.

Nonetheless, good job to dustino71

I'm not going to critisise him because even my own one skirted around the subject, and no one should be critisised for making something good, because it's not a "who made the audio file that sounds like this person really needs a new computer" competition! :D

...

Too easy to skirt around, and very much subject to fraud by scripting, or conscripting friends to vote multiple times.

It is so easy for people to whine after the fact, rather than starting their own site and hosting a contest like this where they can make up their own rules.

...and here I was thinking we were going to avoid the moaning seen post-competition on the other sites.

Please. Be gracious.

Heh. On the internet, nothing is avoidable. :p

Also, The decision of the staff is final, so I don't understand why people would be whining and stuff, cause no matter what they do, they won't change it :)

Hey thanks a ton for the kind messages guys! I've been a reader of neowin for several years now, I don't post all that much on the forums, but love the site. Thanks again to Rob, and all the admins, I jumped out of my chair when I read the winner post on the main page!

Be sure to post up some pics once you receive it :)

I'm very honored to have made 3rd place. Infact i've never been so happy to make 3rd in my whole life. truthfully I thought I had it in the bag with my death of a dragon. Until I heard Dustio's then I was like... AHHHH $()R*)*#$. :laugh:

But contradulations Dustio, you made one hell of a mp3 :yes:

Then last night I listened to the 2nd place entry and laughed at the end. So far that was my favorite.

Seriously, anyone else "complaining" that they don't think the winners should have won, will get a swift kick in the arse by yours truly.

LOL

everyones all up in arms with my message and i even included a rofl smiley to say that it's a joke, i'm actually just mocking the fact how other sites went all into arguments etc and fights between everyone on who won, who didnt.

Anyways! good job to dustin.

:)

Any information on the equiptment you have, and programs you use, etc

    • Good, because the nonstop chattering from the voices in her head made me quit the second game.
    • This new cabinet design lets you run AMD, Intel, and Nvidia PCs inside one case by Sayan Sen At Computex 2026 earlier this month, AMD announced a couple of new X3D processors for both sockets AM4 and AM5 as it confirmed the support extension of the latter till 2029. And although Intel didn't unveil any new desktop chips, the company's Core Ultra 200S Plus series is relatively new too. Let's say though that you want the best of both worlds simultaneously, and instead of running two different systems, you can have both running together side-by-side, or rather on top of one another. That's exactly what Thermaltake's CAPO X dual system is made for doing. While it's not exactly mandatory to run AMD with Intel, or vice versa, you get the idea. As you can see in the render above, it is essentially like a double-decker PC case that is capable of holding two microATX (mATX) motherboards. Even running just one discrete graphics card in a PC can get toasty, so you may be wondering how well the cooling is designed on the CAPO X, Thermaltake has confirmed, as is evident from the marketing promo image above, that the case supports up to two 360 mm AIO liquid coolers. 420mm is not supported. In total there is room for 13 120mm case fans. In terms of I/O (input/output) options for the two systems, there are naturally two places for those ports, one at the top and one at the very bottom of the chassis in the front panel. In terms of use cases, there are many possibilities. Thermaltake itself, for example, highlights how one system can be your main PC while the other could be the AI agent PC. Another example given is how it can be used to stream and game simultaneously with dedicated systems instead of hogging one with the entire load. Nothing regarding pricing or availability was said.

    • There might be some passive design improvements (cooling, etc), but I doubt they'd change the core performance spec of the hardware mid-generation when they've already got a new console in development.
    • State of Decay 3 is out in 2027, reveals Plague Nests with new co-op gameplay trailer by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe A few months ago, Undead Labs broke its silence about the third entry in the State of Decay series since its announcement in 2020. Today, the studio had a brand-new trailer to reveal at the Xbox Games Showcase, finally giving players a look at the Unreal Engine 5-powered title. A broad 2027 release window is now attached to State of Decay 3 too. The studio confirmed that every scene seen in the gameplay trailer (except for the studio logo) released today is from the game with no cinematic footage. "The quality bar of the moment-to-moment experience is higher than anything we’ve achieved in Undead Labs’ history," says the studio. "State of Decay 3 is being built in Unreal Engine 5, and we’re creating better quality versions of what makes our game the survival sandbox it is, and the combat experience is really, really important to us, and I think you can see it coming through in this trailer." One new aspect of this upcoming entry is the Plague Nests. These are supposed to be dynamic, dungeon‑like enemy hubs with varied “personas” that change tactics each time one appears on a map. These areas will have the best loot in the game for players brave enough to tackle them. The combat system is being overhauled too, letting players do quick and power attacks depending on the situation. This isn't just on the player's side though, as zombies themselves now have multiple new types of behaviors depending on how fresh or decayed they are. "All of these play very differently, especially as you start getting outnumbered or when you’re making noise and running around and trying to save your rear end or the rear end of your friend next to you," adds the developer. Of course, settlement building and community management are massive parts of this third entry too. These are being further expanded with the cooperative focus, giving players much more freedom for playing together than in State of Decay 2. Players will even be able to split up and build settlements in different areas of the same map with different goals. Undead Labs confirmed that playtests are already ongoing for the title, and interested players can sign up to participate by heading over here once more slots open up ahead of the full release. State of Decay 3 is coming out on PC, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Game Pass sometime in 2027.
