Neowin Competition: Annual October Giveaway


Recommended Posts

Is it just me or should this have been for members with a certain amount of posts and over.

Don't get me wrong here, but personally I wouldn't like it that much if somebody wins with only 1 post.

Yeah its a sad fact but we have to face facts that could happen :(

cool. its nice that you all are doing this every year. ive read alot of useful posts here and i hope the site is still around in another 8 years. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!

as for some being called lurkers. alot of us dont say anything unless we have something to contribute. im not much for spamming threads to increase my post count. i find it annoying having to sift through 80 posts to find the 4 or 5 that are about the post. opening it to all including new members helps to increase the member roster. and yes 90% wont contribute much but the 10% of newbies that do become regular visitors helps the site and adds to the content and quality of the forum.

i mean on the 1 post wonders.

The times seem iffy to me. They register, post within 1-2 minutes, and then the next register happens after that post. So technically, all those posters should have the same IP address

I think it would've been more fair to accept anyone that registered BEFORE this thread was created. That allows all old lurkers, resident one post wonders or not, or no posts period, to participate. And no account abuse too.

But I'm sure the staff have some way of finding out if originating IPs are from public proxies or whatnot.

This topic is now closed to further replies.

    • Thanks, Sony and Nintendo, you effectively killed platform-agnostic gaming. Long gone are the days when you could wish to play a specific game on whatever platform you were. Now, you have to buy the hardware just to play that single game. What, you're only interested in THAT game and nothing more? Bad luck, suck it and buy our console.
    • The AI data centers need it more than us so...let them gobble it all up at that price!
    • "CRAZIER than ever!" Crazy Taxi: World Tour is officially coming soon by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Sega announced it is working on bringing back some of its classic franchises in 2023, and while it has taken some time, the company finally gave fans a look at one of these new projects at the Xbox Games Showcase today, which turned out to be a brand-new Crazy Taxi entry. Watch the debut trailer above, which has snippets of gameplay in between the cinematic bits while blasting a track from The Offspring. Dubbed Crazy Taxi World Tour, this installment is aptly being described as being "CRAZIER than ever!" The director behind the original, Kenji Kanno, is helming this new entry as well, which will come with access to five new cities to drive in, competitive multiplayer modes, a vehicle customization system, and more. Axel is returning as a protagonist as well, but this time a mystery driver is offering him the opportunity to take his adventures to the streets in other countries. This will involve Axel chasing down masked villains that have somehow stolen his taxi, which means even more extreme missions and challenges to overcome. "From transporting passengers at top speed to tackling unique side missions and odd jobs across dynamic maps, there are countless ways to drive crazy and rake in big money," says Sega about this new installment after over 20 years. "Perform outrageous drifts, catch insane air, and drive at crazy speeds across five different cities as you work to deliver passengers and complete a variety of missions and challenges." The studio has even confirmed an in-game Arcade Mode that players will be able to access containing the original games for plenty of nostalgic action. Crazy Taxi: World Tour is currently slated to release sometime in 2027 across PC, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and Nintendo Switch 2.
    • This and Crazy Taxi are the two games that interested me the most from this showcase.
