Jim won, primarily because Yahtzee was disqualified for not making a poem. His was just a story. Seriously, where was the rhyming, the pattern, anything? YAHTZEE FAILED THIS WEEK.
Jim & Yahtzee's Rhymedown Spectacular: To Kill a Microsoft-bird
- Thread starter Jim And Yahtzee
- Start date
I will be honest, I didn't like Yahtzee's this week. The point was good, but the rhyming method kept throwing me.
Jim's was fantastic, especially the last line.
There once was a man called James.
He was a little bit flash.
His favourite past time was games.
Which he purchased with his cash.
It requires a certain pacing to work, and with the pirate speech I found it difficult to keep with it.

He used alternate lines (I forget the technical term, rhyming couplets perhaps?):Desert Punk said:

Next thing he will stalk the roofs in underwear shooting arrows at random people spreading love
Anyway it looked like he was extremely happy
You guys realize poetry doesn't HAVE to rhyme right? Though it is called the Rhymedown sooo lol. Conflicting.Desert Punk said:
I swear if you guys do it this week ... *Looks up*
Oh mother fu-
I'm sure you guys know this ... deep down inside your souls, this isn't a competition. =_=
OT: I like both this week.
They had a different theme going this week with great topics to go with it.
Though I like the irony at the end of the first, but I felt the heat coming from the last one. XD
EDIT: I see that some/the majority didn't treat this as a competition ... my hope is being restored!

Long shall Jack Tretton's name be sung and his deeds immortalized...
It is funny how quickly things have changed. Sony's initial reveal was not very good and now they're heroes. It's not even that they did anything particularly well, they just didn't do anything horribly wrong. It's really quite sad. Sony didn't win me over, but Microsoft converted me to Sony. I was strictly a 360 user, but when I finely do get a new console it definitely will not be an Xbox and unfortunately for them, it seems like I'm not even close to being alone.

That was beautiful Jim!
Thank you.Yahtzee's was a bit unconventional, but ya can tell he tried to make it entertaining. Seemed to be sick. Poor guy.
Was pretty good anyway.
Captcha: for whom does the bell toll?
It tolls for the Xbone. ;p
Two clever pieces... although Yathzee needs to choose a better voice that doesn't choke him to death.
I really hate the fact people have to declare a winner every week between these two excellent pieces of work.
That was the best piece so far and, for the first time, I really think Jim had the better piece. I never knew that he could sing like that!
