Posts with tag captions

Miss last week's Caption This contest? Well, even if you missed out on entering, you can still enjoy reading through our winning entries. In first place, with 571 votes, was Lustig, who submitted the following caption:

Hmmm... why does my display say that I'm still in combat?

However, I'm afraid Lustig wasn't eligible to take home a prize, so he's just leaving our contest with the pride of winning. In second place, we have Angus, with 215 votes, who is taking home a 60-day gamecard due to his entry:

Just run through them, they said. No problem, they said. You're a big bad level 70, they said. Pull the entire instance to the front door and we'll AOE grind them all, they said... Cheap blues for enchanting mats, they said. We need to go, they said...

And in third place, we have Trevin, with 211 votes, who is going to be getting a quest-giver hat from J!NX after entering this caption:

Indiana Jones 5: The Temple of Zul'Farrak
"THIS MASK BELONGS IN A MUSEUM!"

I hope everyone had a blast participating in this week's Caption This contest!

(And if you missed this week's contest, never fear, there will be another one starting on the Monday after next!) But now it's time to pick a winner -- the staff of WoW Insider has narrowed hundreds of entries down to ten finalists, and we want your opinion on which captions for the above screenshot are the best of the bunch. The winner will be walking away with a 60-day gamecard and second place will snag a More DoTs t-shirt from J!NX.

Did you catch our Onyxia caption contest the week before last? If you did, you're welcome to go check out the results -- or you could jump right in on this week's contest, which starts right now! And with a chance to win a 60-day gamecard or a More DoTs t-shirt from J!NX, you've got plenty of good reasons to enter.

To win, all you have to do is come up with a hilarious caption for the screenshot above (click it for a larger version!). Submit your caption in our comments any time between now and Wednesday, June 27th at 11:59 PM EST. After that, the WoW Insider staff will narrow the entries down to ten finalists -- and you get to vote on who wins.

However, there are some restrictions to this contest. The legal team says we're only allowed to open the contest to residents of the United States of age 18 and up. And as much as I hate to cut anyone out on this, legal has the final say on these matters. A complete copy of the contest's rules may be found here. But enough talk! Get to writing those captions!

Update: Sorry, folks -- the entry period is over. Check back on Friday to vote for a winner!

By the quality of the comments left, I can tell that everyone's had a lot of fun coming up with captions for our caption contest. However, as of Wednesday night (or Thursday morning, depending on your view of these things) the entry period officially closed for our first Caption This contest. Now all that's left is to pick a winner -- and for that, we're looking at you, readers! The staff of WoW Insider has narrowed the field down to a handful of finalists, and we want you to vote on your favorites. The winner will be walking away with a 60-day gamecard and second place will snag a Burning Crusade t-shirt from J!NX. So don't be shy -- tell us which caption you liked best!

Update: I'm sorry to say that voting for this contest has closed. However, you can check out the results here.

Horde lovers, yesterday you had a chance to win an I survived Barrens chat t-shirt, and today is the day of the Alliance. The same deal applies as yesterday -- you need to provide the best caption for the image above in order to take home a Team Paladins shirt in your choice of size. We'll choose 10 finalists from all the entries received by 2pm EST tomorrow, January 7, and put it to a vote to let the popular opinion determine the winner. Happy captioning!

P.S. Don't forget to get your entries in for the lyrics, fan art and machinima contests!
