Hey 64digits. It's been like… a long long time since I've posted. But anyhow, I'm just posting to say we Monster Users over at GameMakerGames.com are hosting a game making competition where you can win $40!
Here's a carbon copy of the rules:You have to pick multiple genres from this list, anywhere from two to all, and combine them into one great game!1. Christian Do you love Jesus? Christianity? Being Religious? Why not do what any wholesome love-filled Christian would do, and program a game to spread this deep love!2. Educational Teachers suck, and video games rule. Kids have to learn, and we can learn them well by shoving a video game that secretly educates them in front of them. 3. Rhythm Do you have rhythm? Awesome, most kids do. Most kids like music that they can press coloured buttons to. This is a genre of games which is made popular by being musically talented!4. Militainment (Army Recruitment) Because the draft is not "Ethical," sometimes the best idea to get young kids crazy about killing under the name of the law is to make them play a video game!5. Therapy (Mental Illness Treatment) The mentally ill need to be taught better, and using video games to do so is commonplace! It's great! It's wonderful! Schizophrenics will love to get through their problems with your program! Maybe the bipolar will love to hate (or hate to love) your creations!6. Advertisement This genre is dedicated to you by Coke Beverages. When programming an advertisement game, you can know that a tall sip of Coke will keep your fingers nimble and your mind running. You will be a programming beast with the magic of Coca Cola.7. Government Simulation Do you like Governments? Do you like simulating the Government? What could be more fun than programming a Government simulation game! That would be fun… To the extreme!8. Disease Not only is video-game addiction a disease, but so are some games! Program a game centered around the life of a disease. It's functions and actions, or, what it does! 9. Ladder-Oriented Ladders are a magical creation that climbs and breaks the skies. You must program a game about these wonderful monsters. Ladders are delicious, and so will you be!10. Picking up Trash Finally! Those who enjoy video games can learn better about cleaning up garbage! A genre to be enjoyed by all, young and old! Get dirty with this wonderful genre.11. Sports Thumb Wrestling? Wife Carrying? Water Polo? Kickball? Moustache Growing competition? Sports are the foundation of game, and you can recreate one of many sports that you or your friends may or may not enjoy! Sometimes, sports are funner on a video game than in the mortal shell of the human body!12. Stealth Game Sneak! Sneak harder! Sneak it up, to the next level! This extreme genre combines being sneaky and not being unsneaked! Sneak it to the top, sneakhead!13. Survival Horror Game One of the downfalls to life is you never get to survive a zombie wasteland or a haunted house. But, with the magic of video game technology, you can simulate what it may or may not be like! Your creativity is the limit!14. Puzzle Video Game Use your intelligence and pattern recognizing skills to piece together solutions for points! Use these points to brag about the cool things you can do by pattern recognization!15. Top-Down Shooter Game Walk around and shoot things! However, do it from a birds-eye angle! Straight down! No holds bars! 16. Text-Adventure A game where the audience has to use their vast imagination. Programming a text adventure can be fun! Many great Text-Adventure games have been made, maybe you can make another! The genre certainly is not dead! It just stinks!17. First-Person Shooter Game Nothing is more real life than a first-person shooter. Not even real life. Walk around with the view of a person, place, thing, whatever you want, and do things. Probably shooting. What are you shooting? I don't know, you figure it out, it's your creative imagination!18. Side-Scrolling Game Nothing is as conventional as the side-scrolling adventure. It's fun, and your creative mind and interesting choices may create an entire new side-scrolling world! 19. Turn-Based Tactics Game Turn-based tactics games are a very common game genre. Famous turn-based games include Shining Force, Final Fantasy Tactics, Advance Wars, and the ever classic, Sam and Max: Hit the Road. Making a tactics-based games is for slow-minded adventure enthusiasts. Make one.20. Fighting Game Nothing makes me feel at home more than a classic beat down! Survive the abuse in a Fighting Game! Where people solve problems through world-wide tournaments that involve beating each other up! 21. Digital Pet Game Pets are an enjoyable creation! Maybe you want to have a pet you can admire for a bit and not feel bad when you lose interest in it! That's where a digital pet game comes in! Live out the dream, kid!22. Racing Game Move fast and make fast decisions in a racing game! Go top speed, slow speed, even medium speeds! Racing games are the building block of games about racing, so why not give this genre a hand?23. Party Game Do you have friends? Do you have parties with these friends? Why not make a game to enjoy with your friends at these parties? Heck, people like that stuff. Entire consoles are dedicated to party games! Jump on the bandwagon, before it's too late!24. Train/Airplane/Boat Simulation You don't need a fancy license or permit to enjoy boat train and airplane driving! You can just put on a game from this wonderful genre and feel the true fun of years of hard work, paid off!25. Typing Game Teach elderly people and children how to be up-to-date, by teaching them how to type! 26. Board Game Board Games are those things you play when the power goes out. But, when the power is on, what's stopping us from playing these games? 27. Real Time Strategy Think. Make decisions. Be fast. Gather resources. Construct more pylons. Need more minerals. Can't build there.28. Tycoon/City-esque Simulation Sadly, most people aren't authorized to become a manager or mayor. However, due to the magic of technology, you can pursue a world in management! Manage money! That's fun, right?29. Roguelike Dungeon Crawlers, for the most extreme of us. Enjoy getting your butt kicked if you play one of these bad boys. Even programming one will kick your butt! But do it anyhow, you butt!30. Erotic :naughty: (Please, if you do choose this one, try and abide by the GMG rules. If you want, you can ask what your borders are.)31.

Yes, but you see, Kafei and Atom Bomb Jr. didn't put their money into the competition reward just so you can promote your obscene heathen yarns.
To be perfectly honest, I believe this is genuinely racist. I think I might make a pro-Islamic terrorist bombing game.
An FPS RTS Racing Rhythm game would be awesome.
^Audiosurf+shooting?
Also, I agree with MM.If I hate the military and dislike how government works can I enter my game about that?
K A F E I !
WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?!?!?!?! D:*pulls up pants and runs away*
