Well I won for a cheat (it was number 3 in the charts and was for Donkey Kong 64 - a cheat I found out myself!) I lost to a cheat someone had found somewhere - one of those button bashers.
Ah well... 3rd.. But what did I get?
A PIN BADGE.
Then the anger began...
After all, it's the only one with completely faor reviews...
If a game gets 5/10, it means EXACTLT that... it's in the middle.. average, nothing good, nothing bad...
Oh, and it has columns writen by some of gamings' biggest... like the monkey ball man! :)

N64 Magazine lied. In issue 55 or something, there was a Mickey's Speedway USA challenge which offered a game to the winner. I won, and 2 issues later it showed me and my prize... hold on a sec... I get a crappy 3rd party controller, where's my game??? I was very annoyed. I won fair and square, but got some cheap prize because they have new sponsers. Sold it for a fiver. Grrrrrr. Many hours of time-trialing down the drain.
Poor you hey? I'm 16 though so neeeeeeeer :P
I used to get NOM until they reviewed South Park.. then I used to get N64 Magazine until I posted them a cheat and the next month that cheat won the top prize and they printed my name wrong :/ ;-)
Now I just read Special Reserve Magazine whenever it comes and look at the games then get online and see if they are any good. Nice and cheap :D
> I read Penthouse and Shaved.
Never heard of Shaved. Better not be what I'm thinking of...

Yeh, millions of times. In a parallel dimension or somthing. Anyway, how would YOU know, you haven't been here for a month yet. I've been here longer than you and haven't seen a topic like this. And it isn't SPAM. You're too dumb for your own good.
