Caption Battle Special Event: March Member Madness!

We're only about a week away from March. How the hell did that happen? Anyway, occurs to me that we did something hilarious last year, and that we should repeat it again this year...

Year-old copy-paste, gettou!

Caption Battle: March Member Madness!

(SomeGuy at Anime Evolution 2010 in Vancouver, BC)

I want to see you in the caption battles! Share your pictures from your convention meet-ups and get-togethers and let us pretend like we know what you're thinking or saying! It's going to be live-action caption battle all through March!

There are only a few guidelines I need you guys to follow:

1. Make sure everyone in the photo is okay with being used for this! If I'm even slightly iffy that someone is unhappy about being featured, I will drop the picture.

2. Everyone featured in the photo should be a member here at theO (background types don't matter).

3. Tell me who the members are and what event is going on (if it's a convention or other similar event) - most likely, I'm more interested in convention meet-up type pics anyway.

4. Make sure it's something to which we can actually write captions!

So yeah. If you think you have a hilarious photo with some folks that you wanna show off, then PM me with a link to it (an online hosting service is again ideal). Our top favourite pictures (plus one I'll contribute as well) shall be the ones over which our captions shall do battle.

So if we do indeed use your picture, what will you get? Credibility - goes farther than you'd think.

But who doesn't love credibility? You know who doesn't love credibility? Animal abusers. You're not an animal abuser, are you?

So who's game?

Caption Battle (MMM): Watched Phone Never Boils...

"It's that time again..."
"To wish the PS2 a happy birthday?"
"To watch Bobby Kotick as the flames rise?"
"No... it's time for March Member Madness!"

But first, last week's winners:

In third place, because Vic's style is not everyone's style: akari yasutora!

I think we'd all be upset if that happened to our pants.

In second place, because it was plain funnier than others: TimeChaser!

Vic is trying to run from the fangirls, but what we don't see is his ankle chained to the table.

And in the coveted first place, because often is it hard to say "velociraptor" without smiling... Ace!

Vic Mignogna tries to explain to his fans that he turned down the chance to reprise his role as Edward Elric in the new Fullmetal Alchemist series in favor of another show, wherein he had the chance to play a velociraptor.

Good week, guys! Wasn't a huge turnout, but those who came to play left a lot of good suff, so I'll consider it a win.

Alright, so this week we officially enter March Member Madness(TM)! First up is the very image that kickstarted this idea in the first place: the photographer is probably Kastom, and the location is Youmacon 2009 in Dearborn, Michigan. Girls in the picture are (from left to right), Nehsriah and Katana. Give 'em a try:

You know the drill: type up the funniest, wittiest, most original caption you can think of for the screencap above in the comments below. Also, if any of you would like some tips on writing a great caption, you can find those here.

And like always, theOtaku is open to all submissions and suggestions for weekly feature content - especially this month, with March Member Madness(TM) upon us! You have a screencap you want used, you can PM me and we can do somethin' about it. So good luck, and remember: just because they're not blood relatives it doesn't make the decision any easier.

Caption Battle: March Member Madness Reminder!

It's only a week away! Don't y'all be forgetting that I need pictures, now. We're gonna do something hilarious, and it requires images from your site meet-ups!

Our top favourite pictures (including one very special one I'm saving for the end) shall be the ones over which our captions shall do battle.

So if we do indeed use your picture, what will you get? Well, nothing expensive, that's for sure - just mad props.

But mad props are great, so it's all good. Mad props are worth the same as conflict diamonds on the internet, y'know.

Unless you want another Rozen Maiden month? Or K-On! again, that was fun too...

So, who wants to play?
