AWKWARD ZOMBIE

Fellow Awkward Zombies, it has come to my attention that the popular online gaming community, The Escapist, has been holding a contest to see which gaming company is the greatest of all. Out of the sixty-four publishers who entered, only four remain. Here is the final four bracket:

Valve vs. Zynga
Blizzard vs. Bioware.

Out of these, I wish to direct your attention to the first matchup. for those of you who don't know, Zynga is the company that created Facebook games such as Farmville, Cafe World, and Mafia Wars. Throughout this competition, Zynga's fanbase of casual gamers, twelve year-olds, and old ladies have been spamming the site, making gaming giants such as Rockstar, Infinity Ward, and even Square Enix fall. Now Valve needs your help, please create a profile for The Escapist and Vote for Valve. If you have Twitter, please use it to obtain a second vote, also use facebook, this will also grant you another vote in the final two. (Details for that here)

We can make the right company achieve victory. We have the power! Go forth, my friends, and defend our turf. Don't let the new generation become the casual generation. It is time for change, my friends, only we can bring change, only if we stand as one!

LOL LEGION SO RANDUM XD

WHAT


WHAAAAAAT

NO

WE CANNOT LET THIS SHIT HAPPEN

QUICK EVERYONE VOTE FOR VALVE

BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE

Ooh, Mafia Wars! My favorite!

*votes for Zynga*

I think it's most likely that you pulled this off of /v/.

Oh boy an unimportant internet debate




exciting

ODDS LAST TIME VALVE ONE A POPULARITY CONTEST (When Gordon Freeman was voted best video game character on Gamespot) THERE WAS A BIG SALE ON STEAM FOR HALF-LIFE RELATED GAMES

SO YEAH

THIS IS IMPORTANT

No.

It's not an unimportant internet debate.

It's an even more unimportant internet popularity poll.

Oh yeah, you're right.

BUT

BUT

THERE COULD BE A SALE

I LIKE SAVING cheddar

I can't tell you how important this actually is. With Zynga beating out all of these great game corporations, most developers will think that these games are what gamers want to play. If the larger demographic wants tedious casual games, we will get tedious casual games. No more horror games that challenge Silent hill 2, no more puzzle games that have ico fans guessing, no more artsy games that conquer the hearts of Okami lovers. Don't you see? Do you want that, Odds, do you?

I don't really give a shit because not a lot of games interest me anymore.

odds is neither the good cop nor the bad cop, she is the apathetic "who cares" cop
you will not win her over like that. best leave it be.

BUT-

Ah who am I kidding I'm too lazy to make an Escapist account anyway.

Who the hell cares if Zynga wins anyway.

All that shows is that a lot of people use Facebook.

WHAT A SURPRISE.

EDIT: WHY YES I AM VERY EASILY SWAYED THANK YOU FOR ASKING
