Valve Becomes the New March Mayhem: Developer's Showdown Champion

[Sunrider]

Personally, I voted for and prefer Bioware, but Valve deserves a lot of respect.

Now, get your buttocks in gear, Valve, and release Episode 3, damn it!

This years MM has been wonderful (with the exception of Zynga) and with 2 great developers fighting over the best developer of MM in the end i can say nothing more than, great work, both of you.

 

[StriderShinryu]

Boo! Hehe Well, at least it was pretty much a tie on the end even if the side I was cheering for didn't come out on top.

 

[BlackFrost]

Yay Valve!!! Go Dr. Freeman you are the man!!! I Love this people =)

 

[The_Decoy]

:'( sad times, I wanted BioWare. Oh well, at least the forums will calm a little.

 

[Onyx Oblivion]

I'm making a note here: HUGE SUCCESS.

That's it...JRPG PHILOSOPHY CANNON!

Counter Attack: DEAD OR ALIVE, YOU'RE COMING WITH ME!!

Wait...that's not that bad.

I loved this contest! I am from another forum (GameFAQs), but I do come here to watch Yahtzee's stuff. When I heard from this contest and saw Farmville knocking out REAL game developers, I just knew I had to make an account. And what a wonderful final. So worth it!

Oh, and post "Still Alive" and you'll feel my wrath.

Suck on that, JRPG fans.

See you in a few hours... [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TVTropesWillRuinYourLife]

I hate you [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ThatMakesMeFeelAngry]

Nice try, but I'm immune because I've already seen EVERY FREAKING PAGE on that site. It took me so long to respond because, where I live, it was the conventional time to sleep.

I could have sworn I picked for Valve during the whole line up thing but all I got was the badge for voting all the way through...

Anyways, congrats to Valve and Bioware for making it to the finale showdown!

In isn't hard to find out who you picked to win, just check the bracket out, that you filled out before the whole tournament started.

I did check and I think I did pick Valve, my bracket was never updated after the first round for some reason...

I don't know what to tell you, other than talk to The Escapist. I do see what you mean, I looked at my bracket just now, but it didn't precisely show Valve highlighted as the winner on my bracket. With everything else on my bracket, every right match-up winner choice I made is highlighted in that orange-red color, and all my wrong guesses the names of the developer I chose to win is crossed out with a red line.
What I meant when I asked you before, is check your bracket now, does it have all the stuff I have on mine or does it show nothing, if nothing, either you somehow didn't finalize your bracket before the tournament started, or there was some kind of glitch and your bracket didn't get updated.

Spinwhiz might know, maybe you should ask him.

SO any predictions for next year?

I'm gonna have to go with Blizzard, cause of SC2 and hopefully the release of a Diablo 3 beta.

Also congrats to the winners of the bracket points thing

 

[Whirligig]

Congratulations to Valve.

Same here Made my weekly visits for Yahtzee´s stuff, that was it. But thanks to MM I´m now regulary looking once a day what´s going on here.

and btw...

VALVE! VALVE! VALVE! I love you! *hysterical teenie scream*

 

[newbienator]

bioware should have won. valve only released one game last year and bioware released two great games.

Agreed. Valve takes way to long with developing their games. Yeah their great but were they truely worth the wait?

I would say that Valve games have a greater replay value. Heck I still play the old CS.
Then again I guess that biowares games have a lot of replay value as well, though I can't think of any examples since I've never played a bioware game.

bioware should have won. valve only released one game last year and bioware released two great games.

Even so, the best company won fair and square. I voted Bioware but am not sore over it, Valve is an excellent developer as well.

im not sore over it either, im just pointing out that people treated it like a greatest developer of all time vote rather than a greatest developer of the year poll. in my opinion, last year bioware was the best.

 

[Dr. Crawver]

doesn't suprise me, but I don't know why they didn't win last year

 

[Marmal4de]

Although I was rooting for Bioware Valve is definitely a deserving winner. the real victory was defeating the Zynga Facebook horde leading to a final match between two companies that truely deserve the title.
