    Well, I guess they preferred people with about 1/20th of the amount of stuff you had.

    At least the Pokemon brat didn't win :smt023

    Umm, You got screwed. You got screwed bad. Shouldn't have put that Game Genie in the pic. Nintendo tried to sue them out of existence.

    Christ, even I have more Ninty stuff than that!
     
  9. Someone with that many Virtual Boys and a Mario movie action figure definately deserved to win over that Zelda nut!

    Just watch out Nintendo agents don't come knocking on your door asking about the Game Genie and those two NR-Readers. :smt043

    I'll bet the fact that you have dev stuff, multi-region/import stuff, etc...hurt you. You've got to remember that you're dealing with the Evil Empire here, they don't want you to have anything you're not supposed to have.

    That weak-ass cosplay outfit probably helped her out, but that doesn't make it NOT weak-ass.

    You got screwed. They should have let fans pick the winner in a poll on the website with a gallery.

    How can you tell? You see more guys that look like girls and more girls that look like girls nowadays and on the rare occasion people who you have no clue what their gender is, more now than ever before!!

    But on the other hand maybe they figured you had a big enough collection already and gave it to someone more deserving?
     
  12. I think it might have had something to do with the person in question being named 'Anna'... :smt043

  14. Strike that, it was Laura, I misread.

    Add that to the fact that the article refers to her in the feminine pronouns.

    And the fact that while names like Lee, Ashley, Kasey/Casey, Kelly, and a whole score of other names worldwide can be ambiguous in their gender, I have yet to meet or hear of a male Laura.

    That sux. She probably sucked off one of the judges. :smt042

    Also, I have one of that orange shirt with the gomba. She doesn't have, however, a black shirt with the words, "Don't Make Me Go Zelda On You" with the weapons fromt he 8bit zelda.

    I didn't even see the NR readers the first time. You really shouldn't have shown those. That is like baiting a tiger.

    I'm really surprised that they didn't pick a kid, the more I think about it.

    Regardless, they should have let fans decide.

    Lucas had a contest like this for star wars and the exact same thing happened. Someone with very little stuff won the big prize. I think companies do stuff like this to gauge what customers are buying or something with market research because the winners are never even close to being competive in regards to thier collection size or diversity. This contests are almost guaranteed to have loser with a weak collection take the award. I always suspect foul play when I follow up on the results.
