The clay model of Bowser vs Charizard is the best one so far.

Also, it's nice to finally have a decent poll for once. Thanks for saving us from further poll hell with a decent one, HaRRicH.

Oh man, I made that poll a LONG time ago...I don't even remember what game I took the freeze gun-suggestion from. I'm glad one of my many suggested polls was finally used though! Just one more new minor way I've contributed back...!

As for the results, whoa. I guess I didn't have a great idea of what to expect, but I really thought explosive weapons would be among the top options. The BFG (I think) of Doom and Duke Nukem, the rocket launcher (and rocket-jumping) of Quake, the joy of sticky-grenades in Halo...I thought fire and massive destruction was going to do a LOT better than 5%. I'd blame the mines being in another option, but their option is sub-2%. Also, people love sniping here...not too surprised, but I didn't think it would be to this extent. I think I know the answer, but I'll ask anyway: would Sniper from TF2 do any good?

Still the whole poll just feels weird to me. I guess I don't play many FPSs anymore.

Actually, I bet I meant to say the Freeze Beam like in Metroid Prime. Whatever, the point's clear with special guns.

I just have just said the Farsight.

Farsight is why I voted sniper rifles. Best weapon of any game.

Also it's a crime if that clay model doesn't win. That thing is amazing.

There's no point in hiding!

I voted handguns because one time I played through MGS3 with nothing but Ocelot's revolver.
...and CQC.
...and plot-demanded weapons in certain parts of the game, I think. But I don't remember any in the moment.
I know that doesn't technically count as an FPS but...Eh whatever.

Dr_Football is the best Guru winner ever created.

I voted for "Long-range weapons (sniper rifle)".

Fast-shooting weapons, baby. Assault Rifle is like the only weapon I'm halfway-decent at in FPS's, though sometimes I get lucky with shotguns. It also wrecks **** in the Mass Effect games.

Voted Shotgun. You know me, I always love busting on a guy's face up close and personal.

Wait...that metaphor went somewhere horrible...

I don't play FPS games.But if I played I would choose fast shooting guns.

I'm looking through my old feedback-tickets...and no wonder why I didn't recognize the freeze-gun in my own suggested poll; I didn't put that in my poll-suggestion. In fact, quite a bit of the options were changed:

Message From HaRRicH on 10/21/2009

What is your favorite kind of weapon in a First Person Shooter?

Melee weapons (crowbar, sword)
Hand guns (pistol, revolver)
Weapons with power (shotguns)
Weapons with speed (minigun, SMG)
Weapons with range (battle rifle, sniper rifle)
Explosive (grenade, rocket launcher)
Special (gravity gun, laptop gun)

Whatever I guess, it's just weird to see!

Whoa, I just caught onto the fact that sniper rifle was able to pull a comeback on "Fast-shooting weapons (SMG, minigun)". Impressive. The right option wins.

Too bad sniper rifles didn't win in the US. Fast-shooting weapons won all of the big states except for Illinois (and sniper rifles barely won that state).


And for today's poll, lol at the region results:

http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=3878&region=US
http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=3878&region=SAM
http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=3878&region=EUR

Americans are so spoiled and too lazy to make real food. I figured something like this would happen for the US.

We seriously need a "How much do you weigh?" poll, because we've never had that one before. Can't wait to see how heavy the US is compared to other countries.

I'm more surprised that there isn't a larger difference, really.

Dr Football Factor'd.

Then again, considering the site's demographics, I'm pretty sure this poll overexaggerates the consumption of fast food in the other regions. How many gamers do you know that can cook? Hell, I lived in a dorm for three years that didn't have anything but a microwave. Pretty sure in a situation like that, you're going to rely a lot on fast food and other unhealthy ****.
---

Surprisingly, The Phillipines actually has much more fast food consumption than the US, at least according to this poll.

http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=3878&region=PH

The Geolocation results for the states are kind of funny to see though. Pretty big regional difference between New York, and Massachusetts, and Texas.

Dr. Football beat me in the 2010 Guru Contest!

The Geolocation results for the states are kind of funny to see though. Pretty big regional difference between New York, and Massachusetts, and Texas.

I noticed this too. The Northeast seems like the healthiest part of the country as they prefer fast food the least.

The South has some major fast food problems. States like Louisiana, Alabama, Mississippi, Oklahoma, Texas, Kentucky, Tennessee, Georgia, and North Carolina are fast food freaks.

Pretty surprised to see a big difference between Canada and US, especially with the media advertising that we have a weight crisis.

I've never heard anything about this. I did hear something on the news that West Virginia is the fattest state on average. With the city of Huntington in that state being the fattest city in the US. However, the Geolocation results for West Virginia doesn't seem to suggest this at all.

Bit surprised nearly half the site is set on having at least a child... I figured there'd be a lot more "can't decide yet", myself.

You're pretty good, Dr_Football.

Another poll with poorly-worded choices. I'm leaning toward no myself but not ruling out the possibility down the road.

Not to mention a significant portion of GameFAQs is in their twenties.

Dr_Football wrecked my bracket with his awesome goals.

It's really not surprising at all. The vast majority of humans, after all, do end up having kids.
---
Dr. Football was not stopped by any of us, and won the Guru Contest.

I'm currently doing a Rocky training of seeing the brackets for past contests, trying to predict it then checking the results. What makes this a rocky training is that I am listening to Gonna Fly High Now as I do this.

When should noms open for the next contest? Around november?

Haha, enjoy the Rocky-training. As a friendly reminder though since I know you're interested in learning more about the contests, keep in mind they may not be accurate anymore today -- those were merely the polls of their time.

Still, you'll find some good stuff.

Spoiler tags are already being considered (and most likely happening) when we update board features over the summer.

No more idiots spoiling games on purpose legally. I assume I especially don't need to name names in this topic about a certain dumbass who went OH MAN HOW CAN I SPOIL FF13 WITHOUT GETTING MODDED XFD I HAVE NO LIFE OUTSIDE GAMEFAQS GUYZ

It's about time, like seriously.

Yeah only 8 years overdue. I half-yelled at the guy who made the petition on SS for taking so long to submit the list, too.

As long as GameFAQs' current spoiler policy doesn't change, it can still be easily abused.

I'd imagine it would have to change if they're adding spoiler tags, almost out of necessity.

"But you have been given freedom. Freedom to be...Dr_Football."
"I am lightning...the rain transformed."

I hope it's the way presigs were done. "Site gets one month to understand a new rule is in place, after that we're modding people." Or maybe it was a weak, who knows.

Point is, it's overdue. Easy fix, easily enforced, easy to see why we need it so badly.
---
Has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?

Plus it'll make ASCII topics a trip if it's the same as LL tags, but I don't really care about that.

A tear is only water. A sigh is only air.

Spoiler tags are finally coming?

Thank God. It's about time GameFAQs caught up to the 20th century. We don't necessarily need avatars and ****, but not even spoiler tags?

Just look at all the crazy **** the spinoffs have. It makes me wonder why we still don't have spoiler tags when LL's had them for years.
