Game Gear Winner + More!

[Evil Avatar]

Ok, we moved to a new server, we created a new "In-House" content block and we got some new companies to come on board and support Evil Avatar.com (Including Activision and Microsoft... more on that later.)

Time to give away a prize! The winner of the Sega Game Gear is:

Mashidar (http://www.evilavatar.com/forums/member.php?u=7603)

Congrats! Please send me a Private Message with your Name & Address!

My next Subscriber give away -- you are never going to believe. You will think you have browsed to Bizarro Avatar (http://bizarro.evilavatar.com/)!

Up is down. Down is up. Right is wrong. Wrong is right. Oceania has always been at war with Eastasia.

[Johan]

You're giving away...a subscription to Evil Avatar?

How about...an Atari 2600?

Sign me up! :)

Good news with Activision and Microsoft, however! I like their products (generally).

[H1PO]

THere is an Ad inside of the In-House Content thing.....is this part of the new advertising?

Shill!! ;)

Yes. We never had a space for 300x250 button before and it is one of the most common ad requests I get. That means we lost money because we didn't have ad space.

I lost a very good campaign for Hellgate London just a few weeks ago because we didn't have a button space.

[Evil Avatar]

Shill!! ;)

We would shill for Sony if they had prizes as cool as the next few things we will be giving away!

I am officially intrigued.

[ezzkmo]

From what bap and Evil have been hinting at, I see some Microsoft goodies, maybe even a 360, in some peoples' future. :)

Can't wait!

Dear Mashidar,

First you steal my flag. Then you electrocute me. Now you win the Game Gear contest? I hate you.

Love,
Bionic

P.S. Congratulations!

[Johan]

I am officially intrigued.

What about unofficially?

--just covering all the bases.--

[violentp]

Nice. For the next contest, I will punch a baby in the face.

[H1PO]

Tell me this is an Evil Avatar Edition 360. That would be the most awesome thing to ever happen ever.

[Deadend]

Next Prize is a... Good game for PS3? As that would be bizarro.

[CrysDark]

I'm not surprised, at least we know your getting paid for your Microsoft bias. :D


I also liked the in-house stuff better the first way with the three side by side, the vertical display is not as attractive.

We are tweaking it to see how to best fit this.

:D After today some good news is always welcome. Thanks for the prize EvAv. Look forward to what folks win next.

Dude, it's totally a Zune.

[agentgray]

It has something to do with the riddle in orange. However, what would be bizarro for the Evil Avatar himself: something from Nintendo

UPDATE: Oh, and there's an Orwellian reference in there too.

[bean19]

Free stuff is cool, but I've never won any random contests in my life (though I've won a few competitions). Still, it's really cool. :)

Btw, I'm curious about the ad space. I don't ever buy games online because I'm impatient and like to buy in stores to get things more quickly. However, I still hit the buttons to see the official sites and ad campaigns of games I like. Does that help Evil Avatar even though I'm just learning more about games and not actually buying anything?

[Pluvious]

doh.. too wordy. Nevermind -- hehe.

Clicking on the banners always helps. It says to the advertisers that the people who read the page ARE the customers that they want to reach.

Now, given that our readers are what I would call the hardcore elite gamers -- it is kind of silly that someone would ever question who our audience is, but you always have to prove that to the advertising and marketing people.

I want in on the next contest, if only to see what prize is being offered.

[LilBunnyFuFu]

I'm still missing what was so bizarro about bizarro avatar...

[bone_matrix]

Yeah, same here. Also, I would really really really love an Evil Avatar 360. Really love.

[muddi900]

Enemey territory for the 360, or guitar hero 3 with controller???

[jpublic]

I'll get that Gamegear (and stuff) out sometime this coming week. Congrats to the winner!
