(Or MegaDrive to you folks with higher education and great teeth!)
It's that time again! I know I said last year that I likely wouldn't be doing another
themed week in the future, but a couple of people requested this one specifically
and the more I got to thinking about it, the more I liked the idea. Sure, I could
have continued down the line and went with an SNES week, but let's face it, it'd just
turn into Final Breath of Zelda Lufia Chrono Fire Fantasy Week. The ol' Genny, however,
has a bit more diversity in its library and history for better or worse and I think it
makes great fodder for another five day fun fest (<--so [REDACTED]gy) of pixels and fart-like
explosion sound effects. So, now that the cat's out of the bag, let's get it all down
on what
YOU, the loyal dog-like follower, can do to help make this little
excursion a success.
1. - WRITE SOMETHING! Review, series retrospective, your favorite games! Gimme some
substance! Do whatever you want. So long as it's Genesis-related and has a good amount of
effort put into it, odds are I'll run it. I'll also accept Sega CD and 32X material since
the things plugged directly into the Genny and I never really considered them their own
consoles, just add-ons. All of the standard
submission
rules still apply, so follow them.
If you have a question about an idea or whatever it is you're going to do, feel free to
email me and we can discuss it a bit if you're unsure.
2. - Your content needs to be typed up in either a
.txt or
.doc file.
If you choose a .doc file, please remember to
NOT INCLUDE THE IMAGES WITHIN THE
DOCUMENT, because I will not accept it, no ifs, ands, or buts.
3. - Screenshots and other images you may need to use aren't restricted to any
specific file type. Just be aware that HUGE pics (650px width and over) may need resizing
or be linked to open in another window. If this is an issue for you, just tell me how
you'd like to handle it.
4. -
.rar or
.zip up your submission plus images, attatch them
to an email, and send them off to one or both of the following email addresses:
polly@socksmakepeoplesexy.net
or
socksmakepeoplesexy.mailbag@gmail.com
Then you wait. I'll contact you shortly after I receive your submission and give you a head's
up on what the deal is.
5. - Final due date for submissions is
MIDNIGHT, JULY 27th. The event will run
from
July 28th - August 1st. Five days of updates.
6. -
ABSOLUTELY NO, FOR ANY REASON WHATSOEVER... I DON'T EVEN CARE IF YOU'RE BEING FORCED
TO DO IT BY A MAN IN YOUR HOUSE WITH A GUN THREATENING TO SHOOT YOUR ENTIRE FAMILY IF YOU DON'T...
NO. ALL. YOUR. BASE. BULLSHIT!
Get all that? Good! Now show your 16-bit love for the entire world to see! Or at least to the
4 people that keep F5'ing my site every 3 minutes.
