And the winner is.............

nGage.

FYI, nGage won by only 2 points, and second, third, fourth and 5th places were within 1.4 points of each other.

Hell of a job everyone. Thanks for your hard work and for participating. Now we'll expect some real good video footage from nGage on his new NVidia and Maingear gaming rig.



Now that we're well into summer, and school is out, and the World Cup is almost over, we've decided to have a little fun with you, our audience. NVIDIA and Maingear have stepped up and donated a killer system that is guaranteed to smoke the competition. So with out further delay, lets Crank that S#!t up.

The Prize: (http://firingsquad.com/hardware/nvidia_geforce_gtx_480_giveaway/)

Maingear Ephex Elite gaming system
EVGA X58 SLI motherboard
Intel Core i7-950 quad-core 3.07GHz CPU
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 480 graphics
NVIDIA 3D Vision kit
22" ViewSonic FuHzion 3D-ready LCD Monitor


Here's how you can win it.
Create a kick ass video and post it here. Any form of video is acceptable, including Machinima and video skits, animation, etc. Maximum video length is one minute.

Theme
It goes without saying that the theme is how to use GeForce to "Crank that S#!T up"

Scoring
A highly trained team of experts from FiringSquad and NVIDIA will score your entries for entertainment and creativity. We will NOT be politically correct, but your entries must be tasteful. Reader scoring, reader comments, and page of views will also contribute to your base score, so earlier entries will generate more page view points than late entries.

Deadlines
Contest opens today, July 8th, 2010.
All entries must be submitted by 23:59:99 PST Sunday August 8th 2010.
Winners will be announced on August 11th, 2010.

5. The winners will be picked from all eligible entries that arrive by midnight August 8th, 2010.
6. Winners will be chosen by FiringSquad and NVIDIA only. This is not a democracy, and if you lose or are disqualified because we don’t like the way you spell, then tough beans.
7. You may submit as many entries as you like.

Man. I can relate to this big time. My wife is in her 32nd week with our SECOND set of twins and she just got put on bed rest yesterday after almost going into pre-term labor. And yes, both sets of twins (my first just turned 3) are girls. My friend said I'm gonna need a serious man-cave, to which I replied, "More like a hormonal fallout shelter." Winning this machine would sure be a good start to that effort! Kids are such a blessing though--not a day goes by without them making me laugh. Congrats to the new parents.

Would you really want to call your kid to the dinner table like; 'Synchronous Failure Junior, dinner is ready, go wash your hands' ? :D

I live in the US... how do I get in on this Kingston contest? It's too bad it's not open to everyone, as some of the best videos in this competition were made by people outside the US.

i think thresh's firingsquad-er, firingsquad.com (bad habit) needs a round of applause for hosting this contest. not sure if u guys funded the comp in anyway (i know its donated, but theres always fine print), the judging alone is a world of work. i'm sure some sour criticism will be throwen around after the winner is announced too.
my hats off to u guys for this, FS has always been a great site, and may the best man win!

Yup. This was a great opportunity and learned a lot in terms of what one can do with the video editing tools (and what other people could accomplish with other tools)!
Thank you for organizing this!

Wow. Thanks. It does take a lot of work, but worth every second considering the sensational entries that you all put together. Thanks for the continued support of FiringSquad. I hope we can continue to deliver a great user experience for all.

We also couldn't do this without the terrific support of our partners NVidia and Maingear. They deserve the real thanks.
