Title: UncleBob's unoffical, not NWR-Staff Carnival King contest! - Win Prizes!
Post by: UncleBob on November 04, 2009, 08:51:07 PM
Okay, since I love Carnival King sooo much, I'm going to give away two copies of it! The rules are simple.
First, you must have a US Wii. Sorry to anyone who doesn't - it's not that I don't love you just as much, but I cannot gift to Wii's outside the US. :(
Second, the deadline for this contest will be 24 hours after Pap gets his review of Carnival King up. So tell him to hurry up! :)
So, here's how to enter. Post a picture of yourself - but the picture needs to have some kind of carnival theme. Perhaps it'll be you playing Carnival Games on the Wii. You at the carnival. You posing with some crappy toy you won at the carnival three years ago. Now, obviously, I won't be able to prove it's *you* in the picture, so we're just going to have to use the honor system here. Posting something that is obviously not you (say, a picture of a dog) will get you disqualified.
There will be two prizes given away. First, I'll judge the photos and give away a prize to my personal favorite. I can't really say what the criteria for this will be - I just gotta like it the best.
Second, I'll take everyone else, write their names on scraps of paper and randomly draw one out.
So get to posting your pictures, folks!

I'm not participating in any forum contests until I receive my funhouse pale contest prize!

Sorry, Mop_it_up - the rules clearly define what has to be in the photo.

I am so tempted to just send you a picture of my nipple and title it "me and my nipple at the carnival" ;)
I'm actually thinking I'll do something with the Carnival Games box art.

Sorry, Mop_it_up - the rules clearly define what has to be in the photo.
But how could you prove that it isn't me?
Did you read the OP at all?

Both questions were answered in the OP.

I could make a comment about Plush Birdos not being able to type on the internet but I think that wouldn't be nice.

I think I'm proving you wrong as we speak, Maxi.

Yeah, you're probably right. This isn't a Funhouse thread, after all.
Tempted to make one.
I'll do it! ;D

According to the Nintendo Life review (http://wiiware.nintendolife.com/reviews/2009/11/carnival_king) you can see everything there is to see in the game in 5 minutes.
3 worlds x 5 levels per world x 20 seconds per level = 5 minutes
This is what you got me to agree to sponsor, UncleBob?!
Title: Re: UncleBob's unoffical, not NWR-Staff Carnival King contest! - Win Prizes!
Post by: UncleBob on November 06, 2009, 02:48:19 PM
Actually, it's 3 worlds x 5 levels x 2 rounds x 20 seconds per round... so 10 minutes.
It's a great game though - if you understand what it is. It's a arcade target shooting game. It's tons of fun - consider, even with the "ten minutes", Nintendo Life still gave it a whopping 7/10. For a port of an arcade game... from 2002... on a system stuffed full with mini games and shooters.

Nintendo Life also gave Pro-Putt Domo a 7/10 (http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/forums/index.php?topic=28427.msg558299#msg558299) so I wouldn't exactly trust their inflated review scores. ;)

Ouch.
Well, Carnival King is good. So there.

Here's a nice early article on the game. You'll notice how it says, the better you are, the more targets that pop up - and in some rounds, more stuff happens. It's really a tight game.

Yay! A 7.5. And you can get this game for free! Looks like you'll have a pretty good chance of winning if you enter. ;)
I'll say that the contest ends at midnight, Sunday night/Monday morning. Have your pics posted by then!

Figures my camera is not working...I was going to take a picture of me 'throwing' the Wiimote at the TV screen like I was playing a carnival throwing game. :(

Actually, it is too late. Pap's review has been up for more than 24 hours. Then again, I think you might have been the only person to respond so maybe you'll win anyway.

so.. since this is unofficial (by the way bob, you spelled it wrong in your title)and he's not staff... are there any repercussions if i take a picture of my penis being used as a mallet in a strong-man type game?

Well he didn't rule out using miniatures. Did Lego make a Carnival Set?

That was the same for my college dorms. Thankfully we could still play games across the network, but you couldn't connect to computers outside of the dorms.
Though, one thing some creative WoW addicts figured out, they used the regular phone lines and they found they could play games online. Unfortunately it is only 56k but still, that would be enough to get a D/L, right?

I had my Wii unconnected for Mario. I'll have it reconnected soon. :)
What? This isn't MW2. Nintendo isn't going to ban you for playing a legit copy of the game.

lol.. naw, I cheated. I had my Wii packed up and bought it to work so I could play Mario while I waited for the release. I played for about five hours straight. :)
