You're WRONG! (And it pee's me off)

The last thing Maggie Thatcher did when she was in power was give McKellen a knighthood. I saw him on Jonathen Ross's program.

Still, I wouldn't do 'im. OR Orlando.

I'm straight and I'd do either of them.

err... if I was gay. And closer to their respective ages.

ESP dude.

much as I'd like to stifle the fact I feel this (because I like Squinky and his game), I'd like to say that those people who voted for Squink's Mittens shooter as being better than our Vegetable Patch Extreem Turbo 2 are wrong, and it pees me off!

Just because he put "Mittens" in the title everyone goes for that one instead...

I'm just speculating, but I think it might have been a bad idea to have both VPXT games nominated. Some people voted for one, and some for the other, whereas if only one of them had been nominated it would have gotten all the votes the two now got separately, and it would probably have won.

I wondered why both Vegetable Patch games were there. 2 should have been there by itself, since it's not really a different game, just an improved version of the first. All nominations for VPXT should have gone to the more recent version.. But SOMEBODY screwed up!

Bah.. That's why I hate politics.

Well, I think there is at least one very important difference between the games (one has a time limit, the other doesn't) that justifies them both being nominated. It's not too difficult to imagine some people might prefer the gameplay of the first because they get all fuddled when they have to plan their strategy at speed.

That said, and as much fun as I found the Mitten's Shooter, I was really shocked when it won. It was great, but... VPXT2 was just on another level entirely.

I assumed it was because VPXT2 was too big for people to download. Mittens's been dowloaded lots more times than either of hte VPXT games (and I guess that most of the VPXT2 downloads are by people who've downloaded VPXT1) and I think this is because it's small, and based around forum folk.

I REALLY wish it'd be moved into the non-adventure catagory of the games page, as it's a bit humiliating to have my magnum opus beaten by a "joke game"... Gah! <further weeping>

ALSO: VPXT2 is NOT just the same as VPXT! Both games are entirly valid individually, because of the enormous game-play-changing impact that the against-the-clock element has in the sequil!!

Although this is probably just the proud parent in me talking. I just don't want to show favour to one of my kids over another!

[EDIT: Shit! I'm such a sore fucking loser! Sorry aoubt all this folks!]
