Here are a few more worth checking out that I didn't mention in the writeup:
Funny Cat: Man, that was unexpected :)
SM Word: Good concept, but a few implementation bugs
Rap Attack: 2pacalypse Now: *Great* dialogue and plotline, but the game's kinda weak
Fuck Typing: The best of the last minute entries!
Burnham Striker and the End of Civilization: Probably the best graphics in the contest
Hermies: Jazzuo's entry, deserves mention for the title screen music alone
betasuppe: Bit too polished to really be considered as a B-Game: either way a neat idea and a neat game
Also, I miscounted - there are only 27, I think!

Tim, you may have your favorites, but I'd say that ALL the entries were noteworthy.
Seriously, the turnout for this contest was amazing. I am so friggin' proud of everyone who participated (either by entering or showing their support)!

Tim, I think Derek means that when you wrote "just about every noteworthy entry", it makes it sound like you think that the other entries were not noteworthy, which you clearly didn't mean ;)

Still, gotta thank both Terry and Tim for the lovely round-up. Oh, Echo too... Cheers!

Hey it's cool, you clarified it already :)
It was a fantastic competition, really inspiring and funny the whole way through.

Tim, I wasn't trying to start any beef! I just wanted to make sure that all the games get their due credit. I like that Terry pointed out his favorites, but honestly, having played all the games, they're all pretty great for various reasons.
By "favorites" all I meant was that, well, if you like certain of the games better than others, that's fine, but they are all noteworthy.
But that's not what you meant, and I appreciate the clarification.
Silly to argue over semantics. I apologize. I just want to make sure that no one's game is trivialized.
(I think I just inadvertently wrote a rap lyric.)

It's funny how the same old people keep picking on the same old person for the same old thing: them reading things as bad as they can interprete them. It gets tiresome after a while.

Opps, think it's about time I changed Echo to Terry in my profile...
Looking forward to the results! :)
