Contest Closed
I'll be seeding (meaning once I download the file, I'll keep bittorrent open) for the next few days. I'm usually on AIM for a good part of the day if you have any questions

what? ...I'm only wondering if I was downloading the right file thing. :-/
Cos usually I see a NY download on sites similar to that one (with different regions to pick from,etc) ...so I didn't know which one to pick. It ain't whinin', it's confusion.

I think he means the download page for the BitTorrent client itself (from SourceForge). In that case, you can choose any of the locations (the multiple locations are just there to help you find a faster download, but they're all the same file).

ah...sorry bout that...I got it now
*edit*
Wow...those other entries are great

One or two (or part of one), I didn't find "funny" as in 'LOL' funny...but they are all pretty damn cool.
Mine seems to be the biggest and the longest...>_< sorry for extending the downloading times everyone ;.; Anyways, these are really cool...if we get enough people to vote, this will be "a very close race"

Cool!!! Great job Krang! Already downloaded and seeding

Is there going to be a more 'official' announcement of the torrent? Some people may not know the good news yet

Ah, yes...that is quite an interesting story. The first I remember seeing 'it' was a couple of years ago via the 'secret link' picture on
the inquirer - a really cool IT/computer news website, IMHO. Anyway - many, many years ago, a Japanese company called Toaplan(?) ported their game 'Zero Wing' to the Sega Genesis. An intro scene was added with a notoriously *BAD* english translation. The bad translation was noted by many game mags and websites, and it just sort of spread from there.
Here is a site that probably does a better job explaining (and documenting) the whole phenomenon. Be sure to watch 'Video 1' - I think that is what really started things in earnest.

Take off every zig!!!.....

No offense to the creator of that video - but it was a ripoff of someone elses idea that was already proven funny.

I think it might be called the adaptation of a Net legend video.

Much agreed
Pygmalion. The thing that made it so funny (to me at least) was the knowledge of the source. - BTW, I notice you've shaved....

Don't feel bad, Evan - I think most people are simply holding off commenting until Krang sets up the official voting/discussion thread.

Yeah Evan, don't worry. I told Zola that you got my vote (since I got to see all the videos first, hehe). It's definately funny :0)
