Win a $100 Gamestop Gift Certificate

Let's face it. For every set of games we acknowledge as explosive and entertaining, there's at least 10 more better off living in the trash. With an increasing degree of discussions regarding the quality (or lack thereof) in modern games, it would be in the best interests of the developers to start hearing what the consumers have to say, wouldn't you agree?

TNL, in conjunction with Electric Artists and Zoomerang are pleased to announce a special promotional survey designed to tap into the individual insights within the gaming community. Plus, there's also music related questions integrated into the survey, so aficionados of that genre are invited to get involved too!

That's not all, each participant will be entered into a random drawing which if selected - we're throwing in a <b>$100 Gamestop Gift Certificate</b>. (Hey, with so many hot games coming out in the next few weeks, this could pay off!!!)

What are you waiting for? <a href="http://www.electricartists.com/gaming/survey.html" target="top">Click here to get started</a>! (will create new browser window so that you can close it when you're done) :)

Survey complete.

Fuck it. Too much work for $100.

Survay completed sir.

Whats all this concern over game music about?

it's a concerning issue to many..

I'm with the dude with the Donkey Lips avatar.

Done. Interesting survey, even if they probably won't be awarding me any $100 since I opted out of their spam list.

*Waits for Yoshi to come in and bash Gamestop.

I did it. Probably not a very high chance of winning but for something that takes under five minutes and you could win a $100 gift certificate......why not?

so how much do you get out of this Bahn?

Besides the satisfaction of knowing we're introducing more options to win prizes? Absolutely nothing.

I don't recall anywhere hinting that "I" am getting anything out of it. We conveyed weeks ago that we were going to be introducing several contests and that's exactly what we're doing.

Stop trying to read so deeply into everything with a double meaning. :rolleyes:

Completed the survey, for some reason I really enjoy doing surveys online. Go figure :)

So, I'm gonna sound stupid, but do they mean just game music, or actual music from musicians? Like going out to buy Paul Van Dyk after playing WipeOut3 or buying the GunValkyrie soundtrack?

I guess they are talking about soundtracks for bands and not game composers. I listed Castlevania's soundtrack anyway. :)

That seemed kind of ignorant, as if I would buy a game that played like shit if my favorite band had a song in it. It it was my favorite band, odds are that I already have the song.

Oddd... that was alot of Game Music questions.

Survey filled out. Given the limited feedback space provided, I did my best to say "I love video game music. I buy OST's all the time. I hate licensed music in games. Write your own orriginal stuff".

Speaking from personal experience, it is a rather oddly structured survey geared more towards music than the overall elements that we like/dislike about video games overall. *shrug* In any case, can't go wrong for an easy opportunity to win a $100 gift certificate.

On a related note, look for several more contests to be announced over the next few weeks. :)

I have a suggestion for EA: Make your sports games play like Sega's. :p

done

finished...

so... when's the drawing for the certificate? :rolleyes:

I don't think the Electric Artists mentioned here is Electronic Arts, two different companies altogether.

firstblood: cool, I'll have that information for you next week. don't roll your eyes, it's not like you paid anything to participate (unless you count time)

Filled it out last night, but I doubt they'll get too much use from my answers. Question I was particularly useless on- bands I'd like to see in games. I'm so totally disassociated from today's music I've no idea, honestly. Which is pretty much what I said, divided over the six or so lines they gave us to fill in.

As for the "what systems do you own?" question... Somehow I don't think I'll be getting the System of a Down soundtrack in whatever the next release for Vectrex may be. :)

Also, I'm now old. I was born before the earliest date available in the "when were you born?" question. Although not by much.

Why not fill it out for the chance of $100

Heh, well, they're not getting much from my answers, being that all I did was list game soundtracks and ska/alternative bands.

Aye, not the best scripted survey I admit. Well, like I said - some more contests are on the way :D
