Tempmas Raffle 2018 - Merry Tempmas Everybody!

merrytempmas_medium.jpg


IT'S TEMPMAS!
MERRY TEMPMAS TO ALL MEMBERS OF OUR WONDERFUL COMMUNITY!​

It's been another wonderful year on GBAtemp: the blooming of the Switch scene, the Homebrew Bounty, the launch of our Webcomic, solving our server issues for good, and so much more. But HEY, wait, it isn't even over yet!

You might wonder: what about Tempmas this year? Every year there used to be multiple competitions and fun activities, so what about 2018? First off, due to the Bounty the budget has taken a hit (we're donating over $4000 to homebrew authors), and let's not forget the social media raffle. However, not to worry: we've got something in store for you! Read on.



What's up for grabs!


We're proud to announce that there will be 10 prizes up for grabs for this raffle. Check this out:
1ST PRIZE: a brand new Nintendo Switch console!
2nd: a $100 Amazon gift card
3rd: a $100 Amazon gift card
4th: a $100 Amazon gift card
5th: a $50 Amazon gift card
6th: a $50 Amazon gift card
7th: a $25 Amazon gift card
8th: a $25 Amazon gift card
9th: a $25 Amazon gift card
10th: a $25 Amazon gift card



How to enter?


So, do you guys wanna know how to win this? It is pretty easy, but there is just one tiny little requirement.
To enter, you must post a reply to this thread respecting the following rules:
RULE 1: Post a picture of your Christmas tree, or Christmas decorations from your own home.
RULE 1 (ALT): We want to give everyone a chance: if you don't celebrate Christmas, post a picture of your game console/gaming PC setup.
RULE 2: All pictures (whether you post a pic of your Christmas tree or your gaming setup) must include a reference to GBAtemp and to the year 2018, so that we know you didn't steal the picture off the Internet.
RULE 3: You must post before the end of the year (ie. before 2019 begins). Do not worry about the time zone as we will lock the thread on January 1st when all time zones have passed the new year.



Further details


The winners will be randomly selected during a live Twitch stream as usual, which will take place early January. If you win the Nintendo Switch but already own one, you can request 3x $100 Amazon gift cards instead.

We hope you have enjoyed this year at GBAtemp. What do you expect for 2019? Tell us more about how you'd like GBAtemp to improve and become (or remain) the best independent gaming community on the Web!

Merry Tempmas everybody,
~ the staff

Here is my gaming corner with a Happy Tempmas 2018 sign by the keyboard.
And here is a pic of our Christmas tree (it gets ravaged daily by my kids, don't you judge me. ;)

Merry Tempmas, friends!

We don't really have room in our place for a big fancy tree this year, but this is what we set up on one of the cabinets! Some presents for extended family are underneath but the rest had to be put elsewhere. ;^^ Please excuse all of the clutter- we're running out of shelf space.

Good luck, everyone!

    I didnt know it was beer, it was on a juice bottle
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Yeah, I'm addicted to smoking, sadly. It's very addictive but I wish I didn't start.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    May just order a 5700g for a nas/emulation set up tbh
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, atleast you were asleep on 4/20

    LOL

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, you played that Mario flash game called Mario 63?
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, No, but I've seen it on Vinesauce's stream.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, that game is one of the reasons i met newgrounds bc the full versión of it is in that site
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    Also somebody is remaking it
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, Reason how I found Newgrounds: https://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/249365
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, the other game where I found newgrounds is new york shark

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Spoke to Tom Fulp the other day, if he can find his old Newgrounds site content like the mini Flash animations from the 2000's that played on the portal.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    So far no response, but he did say that he'll find them. Wayback Machine doesn't have em.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, atleast the 1999 versión of pico's school is avaliable (the difference between it, the 2006 versión and the 2016 versión is that the speed of the game depends of the speed of your computer and that it had the og soundtrack)
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, Another being Pico VS Bear, the original 1999 version before Jim Henson filed a DMCA takedown.

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    The 2006 versión was made when the flash portal was made
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Many people thought it was lost, but was discovered that he hid it on the same page.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    https://tcrf.net/Pico_VS_Bear
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, although the "secrets" system where the game was has been removed. Also pico vs uberkids had a netplay versión that was shutdown, although the swf file has been found
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, Nope. There are two download buttons on the same page, where you can download the original under a file called "bear.exe". "bear2.exe", however, is the updated game in a Flash projector. P.s. this was on the archived Pico page from 2000.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, That's been there for a long time, too. People who search for lost media don't look hard enough lmao.

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, also the pico 2 demos used to be only for the newgrounds patrons but they are on internet archive too (https://archive.org/download/picos_school_2)

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    Iirc the demos were removed from newgrounds in 2022
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, or well only the demo with mindchamber's style was on newgrounds

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    Fun fact @SylverReZ: iirc one of the goals on the fnf Kickstarter stated that pico 2 would be finished but the Kickstarter didnt get enough money for that goal to be fullfiled
