The March Mayhem 2012 thread! Who did YOU vote for?

[vivalahelvig]

I had Valve beating everything. And mojang beating re-logic. and beth. beating everyone else valve didn't.
But then valve took on bethesda.
And somehow, gearbox is vs. Valve.
I really really really liked Borderlands....for PC

 

[ResonanceSD]

I had to have vote between either Valve or CD Projekt RED...

WHHHHHHYYY???!!?

Valve, it's the Escapist. Valve are mega popular here.

OT: I just make my bracket how I plan to vote. I'm optimistic.

Tbh, 90% of theose companies are popular here except zynga and bioware.

 

[Eddie the head]

I kind of don't care if I was making the last round it would be Sucker Punch Vs Bioware. Because they produced the games I had the most fun with but if I had to take a real guess I would say Bethesda vs Valve.

 

[soren7550]

I've got BioWare beating out Mojang (pretty sure I have Mojang for second).

Seeing as March Madness starts about a week or so after Mass Effect 3s launch, I believe (and hope) that'll be enough to finally grant them a win.

 

[Souplex]

No worthwhile developer has ever won March Mayheym. Why should this year be any different?
Edit: As my girlfriend pointed out, it's possible for Bioware to win since MM happens around the release of Space Wizards 3.

I find everyone's lack of faith in Valve fan boys and hatred for Zynga quite disturbing. Anyway I have Valve winning in my bracket but that doesn't mean I will definitely vote for them to win. However, I love how they "forgot" to add the terms on the prizes page more so this one "You MUST be 18 years of age or older and a resident of the US, Canada, UK, AUS, or NZ to win".

They(the terms) are there and are easy enough to find but most won't think to look after seeing the prizes page.

I have Bethesda beating out Bioware, almost had it Bethesda beating VALVe but then I thought fuck it VALVe has been coasting off TF2 for too long.

 

[Kungfu_Teddybear]

I have Bethesda to win the final round with BioWare as the runner up.

I think the minecraft wave has finally passed. Unless they launch new updates during MM =D

Lmfao. Check out portal 2 before yelling at valve XD

 

[TheYellowCellPhone]

I will not be participating for the third year in a row. Fourth year, if you count the time that I lurked. Not much reward for something that everyone gets so pissy about.

Ha ha who said anything about yelling, I was just making a comment
Now I'm sure Portal 2 is all fine and well but I've always been more of an RPG guy so that's why Bethesda's stuff appeals to me more even if I haven't played Portal 2.

I didn't realize that I was supposed to pick who I thought other people were supposed to vote for until about half-way through. :3 At that point I just decided to pick who I would vote for personally. Oh, and I completely invalidate the point of it by voting based on all past games, since this is my very first time participating in March Madness.

Bioware immediately lost to Re-Logic because Terraria provided me with insane amounts of entertainment with friends.

Valve easily made it the finals since they faced devs I didn't know all that much about (I didn't play their games. :3) To beat out Bethesda and claim a spot in the finals. This is because...I don't know.

Super Giant games made it pretty far but lost to Atlus, because I love Atlus. The toughest decision was From Software against Atlus. I had to go with Atlus because I just love them so very much.

So yeah...if it were up to just me (and I'm sure everyone here is glad it isn't) Atlus would win.

No sweat! You can change your votes!!

I have Bioware taking out CDProjekt in the final round. Their work on SWTOR and the Mass Effect games won me over.

Yeah, had a feeling that they'll do well. Not enough to win though =D

 

[Orcus The Ultimate]

You MUST be 18 years of age or older and a resident of the US, Canada, UK, AUS, or NZ to win.

I don't really see a reason to vote, nor to give any free advertising for the Escapist by voting (twitter) if they are going to ignore the rest of the world.

Badges? Im just glad they included Australia for a change.

DOUBLE FIIIIIIIINNNNNNEEEE !!!!

(Double Fine Wins! Overwhelmality!)

What did they release?

Psychonauts
Brutal Legend
Costume Quest
Stacking
Iron Brigade

But Tim Schafer = Tim Burton of gaming; before he made Double Fine, he was in big projects like:
Monkey Island 1 2 3
Full Throttle
Grim Fandango

So he's a heavy fighter if you don't know who he was and who he worked with.
+ Mojang's Creator of Minecraft just gave him 1 Million Dollars to make PSYCHONAUTS 2 !!!

 

[ResonanceSD]

Brutal legend? Oh. Hell. No.
