I'll write a short paper titled, "Linux is for Everyone, Including Gamers"

EDIT: Wait, how do I submit the paper?
@TheKingy34 is already talking about OS'.
Try another thing :unsure:
EDIT: You just post your article/paper/whatever in the section it would normally go in, and you link it here after the five days.

Sadly, Video Game Music is already gone...
So I guess i'll do one about "What makes a game great"
Where do I post it when I am finished?

Find where you think it should go, and post it there.

So I can just start writing it now, and post a link to the thread when its finished?
Wait the extra 2 days.
Obviously we wouldn't know when you started the article, but if you want to be as fair as possible, don't start until the "submissions" are over. (By that I mean Chary gives the green light to start writing)

A staff member will probably post announcing submissions are over and lock the thread.
Start in 2 days? Rip creativity lol

Okay holy shit I've been making a lot of mistakes.
Just to be clear as I can be:
The writing period starts in 2 days. Chary will give the green light to start writing.
5 days will pass, and a staff member will post here saying you can post your things and link them here, or will have you PM them the link.
Then the judges will, well, judge and then the winner will be announced, the winning article will be posted in the front page, and this thread will be locked.
Sorry for all the confusion :(

I'm calling dibs on 'Why are open world games so fun to explore?'
Wew
Nice choice my dude

I feel as though it would be a good idea for people to claim topics if you don't want any overlaps. That way it's not last minute 'alright who tf's do we take'

Decided i'll make an effort since I wanted to write an article on my topic anyway.
That topic being one of MMO gaming's most misused and misunderstood terms, Pay to Win. What is is, what it isn't, and why it is or isn't a big problem in todays games.

The world of gaming,
is so ever changing,
we blink and an era has past.
From decks of cards,
to Switch and V-R,
The memories still manage to last.
I remember a time,
Not far long ago,
of wonderous mind,
and Super Mario.
The mind of a child,
Absorbing the flow,
of digital worlds of ones and zeroes.
I've seen Olympus fall,
seen hedgehogs of gold,
fame, fortune and all,
favor the brave and the bold.
Demons of light,
Dead Gods resurrected,
An easy boss fight,
A virus injected.
Take flight with a cape,
Fight countless undead,
The dreams caught on tape,
And words of what's said.
The dream could be yours,
dream it and fetch it,
innovate ceilings not floors,
dream of the unexpected.
The future is now,
the future is ours,
the present will bow,
to our superpowers.
Immerse in these dreams,
both yours and theirs,
enjoy the great teams,
as you sit in your chairs.
This beautiful world,
this world of gaming,
evolution unfurled,
it's ours for the taking!

Prolly doesn't count, but that's ok. You inspired me so I wrote.
Good luck to all who contribute!
