    Ogreman, you should make an option to use your account to comment on the Battle. Obviously, it's not part of the Review directory, but that feature should be there anyway.

    I sort of wish it would give you the option of just entering all the details automatically, since our accounts already have them. Would it be difficult to code though?

    There is a Wordpress/Vbulletin bridge out there so it is possible:).

    Next match: MicroVolts vs. Cosmic Break!

    OgreMan is off having his skin baked into a nice crispy armor-like-plating this weekend so he's asked me to host the next match in the first round of the Online Shooter Showdown 2011!

    You can get your votes in by using the poll embedded in the post on the blog and you can leave your comments to convince others which way to vote on the blog post as well.

    This is my first time so go easy on me. Let's have a clean match -- let the best shooter win!

    Go vote!

    (Maybe in future matches we'll spring for little "I Voted in the Online Shooter Showdown" stickers that look like they're riddled with bullet holes and blast marks... Okay, I can dream, can't I?)

    :)

    Woot, I see that people are getting up today and getting their votes in! This match doesn't really pit MMOs that I know that well together -- the last match seems to really have overshadowed this one in sheer popularity.

    Starting the first match in mid-week and then going on a trip has allowed for two matches to go on at the same time. Both matches will end this week and then the next match in the tournament will start.

    Yes, the first match has been a good one:).

    Don't be sad:). It was just not set up right this time because the first one started late. It wasn't placed on the front page or anything. I should have told you to wait before I went on my trip.

    This match may need to additional time or to be restarted. We never run two at the same time. We also may switch from Polldaddy because WP-Polls work now:). They can be placed on the entire blog.

    Yeah, I was wondering why the PollDaddy polls wouldn't render themselves on the front page -- I figured it might be something wrong with the Wordpress hooks (programming stuff) but I didn't have enough time to troubleshoot that. Otherwise, I would have asked if I could get access to the code so that I could tinker with it to fix it.

    If WP_Poll is working better out-of-the-box that is a far better solution than having a webbunny like me mechanic a broken plug-in. :)

    :) We will take a closer look at the two Polls before starting the next match. Sodahead is also possibility because it looked the best.
