Looking forward to another year of cool mods and hot hardware...

I honestly don't know who I'm going to vote for. But I have an idea... if the voting will be based on sympathy I can imagine an 'old' man to win.

Seriously though: Prizes? I pretty much know I won't win. Though I'm in desperate need for a new graphics card... Damn me and my pessimism.

Bindibadgi · 23rd Dec 2008, 17:20

Everyone gets 3 votes because we have 15 contestants.

Mankz · 23rd Dec 2008, 17:29

I CALL DIBS!!!!

Cheapskate · 23rd Dec 2008, 17:43

Everything was mailed to Nick already. Thanks for your cooperation.

Unless something else pops up I forgot about, I'm betting this will be a fight between Greensabbath and Boddaker.

craigbru · 23rd Dec 2008, 18:24

Excellent! I'm looking forward to this...

I've been looking through the article this evening and I've tried to pick three, but I can't. Seriously, I just can't. So far, the closest I've got is down to six... and I've been pretty damn picky.

perplekks45 · 23rd Dec 2008, 19:29

Will this vote be tied to a newsletter subscription as well?

Please say no, please say no...

Cheapskate · 23rd Dec 2008, 20:23

If everyone gets 3 votes...Can we vote for the same mod 3 times?

The Jambo · 23rd Dec 2008, 20:41

why are there 2 Cyberlink logos?

Yes. It's the only way we can regulate one vote per person, plus register actual users and your contact details just in case you win.

Last year we had very, very bad trouble with bots spoiling the result - it literally took days to carefully strip away the bad results from the correct ones.

You can unsubscribe straight away again if you don't want it and it's a very, very small 2 minute stress compared to what you can potentially win. If you already signed up for the Game of the Year - you can use the same login details again.

There are two Cyberlink logos because I quickly copied and pasted from other logos I used in the actual article

Cheap - no, they are tick boxes + a submit button

ModMinded · 23rd Dec 2008, 22:33

So where do we sign up? Or is that coming tomorrow?

Cool... done!

DragunovHUN · 24th Dec 2008, 11:49

Uhm this is probably a stupid question but what's the difference between the blue i7 and the gray i7?

Mr Mario · 24th Dec 2008, 13:44

Just voted. Is a good thing it lets us choose 3, as picking just one would have been hard.

One is normal i7 and the other is extreme i7. I just picked out "an i7 logo" despite the fact we only have 1 CPU to give away
