It's time like this I wish the Mii Channel was more robust.

[YoshiAngemon]

Check it out, yo. I just made a Coach Z Mii, and I'm entering it into the contest! It's not perfect, since you can't change the color of the hat, or the style of it, but at least it's Coach Z. Hopefully, I might be one of the lucky three to win the contest.

[Tester Scott]

No one will be able to beat my Strong Bad. I will win all three spots. HAHAHAHA

[Emily]

(Telltale employees not allowed to enter. :p)

AHHHH!?! No fair! :)

I made a Coach Z one too! May the best one win!

[TrogLlama]

It's times like this when I wish the Mii Channel had some more... unrealistic head shapes and accoutrements.

[InfamousDS]

I can't even take screenshots in the Mii channel, maybe I missed something in the how-to guide to Miis

Yeah different colored caps would be nice too. Anyway I went with Strong Sad. Turned out pretty well, now I just need to borrow a digital camera.

[Emily]

It's not easy. Just take a picture of your TV.

[Kayube]

Question: Instead of sending a picture, can we post it on the Check Mii Out channel and then send you the entry number for it?

[Emily]

We need to have easy access to the pictures that doesn't require looking entries up on the Wii, so no. :(

[Sir Lemming]

Yeah, I wouldn't want to spend all day "typing" in the names/numbers of entries on the Wiimote...

I really think Nintendo should add an easier way to take Mii screenshots, though -- there's obviously a desire for it.

[TomSuperman]

Can't you make a homestar runner mii contest channel download able in wiiware in which we could transfer the miis to you virtually and you could make them do a parade.

[Urban Nerdo]

Only Nintendo has access to that kind of technology. It's hard enough as is for 3rd party companies to get games onto WiiWare, let alone complete channels.

[TomSuperman]

Only Nintendo has access to that kind of technology. It's hard enough as is for 3rd party companies to get games onto WiiWare, let alone complete channels.

Wouldn't make it very hard for our Mii to be included in strong bad game for cool attractive people?

[Urban Nerdo]

No, it's not going to be included in SBCG4AP. It's just a contest to make the most SBCG4AP character-like Mii to win.

[someguyfromazoo]

I have a question.Can we submit Side Characters, like Biscuitdoughhandsman?

[Jake]

Submit whoever!

[YoshiAngemon]

Only Nintendo has access to that kind of technology. It's hard enough as is for 3rd party companies to get games onto WiiWare, let alone complete channels.

That didn't stop Square Enix from releasing Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: My Life As A King!

[TrogLlama]

...
What? It's a WiiWare game. What are you talking about? Is it the fact that the game gets its own channel? Because that's how all download games on the Wii work.

[Shwoo]

Submit whoever!
The blog entry says any of the main characters. Which is it? I'm confused.

If characters other than the main twelve are allowed, then I'll do one of those, they're more likely to be human shaped.

[tabacco]

Like he said, do whoever you want.

[BiggerJ]

I haven't put my Wii online and don't plan to, but if you'll give the winner the option to win a copy of the first episode's PC version, I've got a heck of a Mii to enter. Also, is it okay to enter more than one Mii in case I get more ideas?

[xChri5x]

I'm really stumped on how anyone could pull off any of the characters. Even these instructions on how to make Strong Bad don't really turn out that well

i think you misunderstood what the guy was saying. let's take another look at that:

Can't you make a homestar runner mii contest channel download able in wiiware in which we could transfer the miis to you virtually and you could make them do a parade.

i think what he meant was for nintendo to make a contest theme for homestar runner characters in the mii contest/check mii out channel, but he could have just said, can't we post our homestar runner miis to the mii contest/check mii out channel and send telltale the codes to download them?

which is actually probably more work for them, but more convenient for us, rather than the other way around as it is now. catch 22, innit?

[Darkblade07]

sa-weet!!!I made an awsome picture of Bubs...
I bet I'll win a copy of the game!!!

[xsjados]

i forgot to put my wii FC in the email with my picture
should i resend?

Telltale has already said they're not doing that. I forget where, but I do remember it.

[CKcheeseboy]

Telltale has already said they're not doing that. I forget where, but I do remember it.
Probably the blog post that describes the contest (I'm assuming it's not in this thread, although I didn't actually check).

[LuigiHann]

I'm kind of torn. I made the "Teen Girl Squad" Miis (http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php/Image:Teen_Mii_Squad.PNG) that got featured on the Weekly Fanstuff back in '07, but I don't know if anyone will believe me if I claim them now. >_> I guess I'll make up some new ones.

I believe you. :)

[Tester Scott]

I don't believe anybody.

[Iron Curtain]

I don't believe anybody.

Yeah, well, I don't believe you're a tester for Telltale! I actually think you're a tester for...EA! or Lucasarts! :mad:


:p :D

Edit: BTW, am I going to be banned for mentioning LucasArts? :p

[Tester Scott]

Yes.

[Iron Curtain]

Yes.

See, this is why I don't believe you. I'm still here. :p

[Tester Scott]

You have no idea when it is coming but it is coming don't worry about that. ;)

http://www.miicharacters.com/index.php?mii=505

If you hadn't told me that was SB, I wouldn't know who it was.
I was like,:confused:That's Strong Bad??!?:confused:

[YoshiAngemon]

Well, you can't make an Old-Timey Strong Bad (or Sir Strong Bad, if you will) in Color Mii, can't you?

[someguyfromazoo]

Well, you can't make an Old-Timey Strong Bad (or Sir Strong Bad, if you will) in Color Mii, can't you?

With only black and white, yes.

[Astrobilly777]

I know there's a tool somewhere that you can plug into your yellow and white plug things on your TV and take pictures and movies, I see it everywhere on youtube. I think it's called hyperdrive or hyperlink or somthing like that, GOOGLE IT!!! any way I don't know who to choose, people say coach Z is the more realistic one... but I geuss I'll have to stick with my most favorite character...HOMSAR!!!!!!

[Juhsayngul]

I know there's a tool somewhere that you can plug into your yellow and white plug things on your TV and take pictures and movies, I see it everywhere on youtube. I think it's called hyperdrive or hyperlink or somthing like that, GOOGLE IT!!!

I think it's on you to Google it for us if it's vital to your post.

[Astrobilly777]

yes its called "unregistered hypercam 2" but that's for recording off your computer. the people on yahoo answers say that you should wire the wii through a DVR (Digtital Video Recorder, but you most likely knew that :D) all I did was take a digital camera and turned the flash off, that got a pretty good shot, but If you want your entry to look professional DVR it, than rip it to your computer put it in windows movie maker and get it down to one second. but the one second video I took was over 5 MB!! so I truly have no idea how to do this!!!:( if any one can help me please post with answer! but for me I already have my mii turned in, but do it for the people who haven't!!

[CKcheeseboy]

I just took a picture of my TV with a digital camera. I'm sure Telltale isn't looking at the quality of the picture but rather the quality of the Mii.

As for the video thing, instead of one second, try taking one frame (if it lets you do that), or just have the video as big as possible and hit "Print Screen" when the Mii is on screen and paste it into Paint or something...but all that just seems overly complicated if you have a digital camera.

[Senor Cardgage Man]

I made four, but im only entering one (der!) they are

Coach Z
King of Town
Arrow'd!
BABYSAT!

:)

[Emily]

We have had some great entries so far. :D (Some of characters I never knew existed until now! My horizons have been broadened!)

There are still a few days left to enter, for those aspiring Mii-makers out there...

[Senor Cardgage Man]

Update: recently I made Bubs!:cool:

[StrongMatt]

I sent mine in, I did StrongBad, I REALLY hope to win. This is the only game I want to get on my Wii!

[Freelance Poster]

I'm hoping it's not a random contest.

[MeaningOfLife]

I really hope my Homestar Runner character makes the cut!

[BadStrong]

I just sent in my KOT Mii. I had a lot of fun making it!:D

[StrongMatt]

So did I! I really hope I win! The end date has been reached so I hope we see the results soon!

[ShakeandBake]

I made a pretty good strongbad mii.
http://miiplaza.net:16080/mii/31178

[dentbuds]

i made a pretty good Old Timey Strong Bad mii. i think i might have a chance at winning! but even if i don't win, i got 1000 points saved up.

[MeaningOfLife]

Dang, that's alot of submissions for King Of Town, I really hope mine would stand out. :(

[ShakeandBake]

Good luck.:D

[wiiman8888]

Got mine in a while a go. I hope my King of Town mii wins

[StrongMatt]

I hope my imaginative Strong Bad wins! I'd do ANYTHING!

[YoshiAngemon]

I hope my-a Coach Z wins! I'm like one of the few people to make him!

[someguyfromazoo]

I hope my-a Coach Z wins! I'm like one of the few people to make him!

Someone tell me if they made biscuit dough hands man, I made one and...DO'H!Forget to submit.

[Juhsayngul]

I see that guy as a Mii all over the place, man.

[StrongMatt]

Are you done choosing the winners yet guys?

[DarkStar Runner]

I know. I wanna see if my Marzipan before her questionable surgery won.

[BadStrong]

On the Mii Contest blog entry, they stated that the winner would be announced the following week. It has only been 5 days since the Mii deadline. Chances are we'll have to wait just two more days.

[StrongMatt]

Oh! Sorry, I didn't see that.

[ShakeandBake]

Where are they posting the winners?

[BadStrong]

Where are they posting the winners?

Most likely in a blog (http://telltalegames.com/community/blogs)

[StrongBadinator]

will we get to see the winners miis? Oviously one of them will be mine.

[BadStrong]

will we get to see the winners miis? Oviously one of them will be mine.

My guess is that the winner's Mii will be posted on a blog for everyone to see. Of course that is only a guess.

[Derwin]

If it is anything like past contests, which I assume it will be, they will definitely post the winning submissions for all to see. They also will probably post some runners up, as well, as they have done such in the past (or I am making this last part up, I can't tell).

[dentbuds]

come on guys. its the day to tell us i one. hurry up and spill the beans.:D

[StrongMatt]

Just a few more hours... hopefully...

[BadStrong]

Just a few more hours... hopefully...

That's what we all hope.

[StrongMatt]

Tick, tock, tick, tock...

[andersod]

where are these results!? i'm getting really frustrated waiting!!

[Juhsayngul]

Stupid contest.



What?

[StrongBadinator]

My guess is that it closed at 11:59 pm pacific time they'll tell us the results at 11:59 pm pacific time. Which sucks.:mad:

[BadStrong]

That's what I was afraid of. Who goes on Telltale's blog at midnight?:eek:

[StrongBadinator]

No, seriously telltale! when u gonna tell us?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? by "tell us" i dont mean the blog, i mean post it right here and tell us when ur gonna tell us! (did that make sense?)

[andersod]

[StrongBadinator]

PS- its 8:09 here in the mitten

[andersod]

so i think it will be midnight when results are up which meanswer maybe around 8.00 this morning. anyway ill be off. see you guys in 7 hours or so. :D

[andersod]

zzzzz...

[Derwin]

They don't always release the results exactly one week after the contest ends. Depending on what their schedules are like, it could be earlier or later. It could take til the middle of this week, or later, who knows. No use hitting refresh on this page for the next 5 hours if they haven't even decided on the winners yet.

[someguyfromazoo]

wht the poo?


PS- its 8:09 here in the mitten

Ever seen Mario Land The 6 Golden Coins commercial?Look for the demented Wario head.

[CKcheeseboy]

Jeez people, have some patience! They'll announce it when they're ready, and they never said "Exactly one week later to the minute from when the contest ends." There's like a page and a half of spam of people who seem to be completely dependent on this contest...

[Emily]

Sorry, it's taking a little longer than expected. There were lots of entries!

[andersod]

im back and there's still no results...darn.

hey emily, can you not tell us when you think the results are being released? and even better, when the actual game is. thanks

[ShakeandBake]

Sorry, it's taking a little longer than expected. There were lots of entries!
I was expecting that. I understand. How many entries were there anyways?

[StrongMatt]

sorry, It's Taking A Little Longer Than Expected. There Were Lots Of Entries!
Noooooooooo!!

[dentbuds]

yeah sorry, i 'm just a little anxious to know. whenever i get excited i get the butterflys in my stomach. it settles down at school though, so:D

I'm sorry if I had spread the impression that results would be available in exactly a week. I had said "chances are" they would be.
I bet it takes a long time to go through every entry and sort them out so that it is down to just 2 or 3, and eventually one. I appreciate the update though.:)

[wiiman8888]

I hope I win! I already blew all of me wii points.

[CKcheeseboy]

No, you're fine, you were being helpful and pointing to the blog post, and you said stuff like "hopefully in a few hours". My post was more directed at those who said stuff like "It's almost midnight! Where are the results?" and stuff.

[andersod]

i talked to Emily privately and she said the results will be shown at the end of the week/beginning of next week.

[ShakeandBake]

Cool!

[someguyfromazoo]

July, heh? Time to jump to conclusions on release dates!

[StrongMatt]

Lol.

[Derwin]

On the official blog, Telltale wrote how they would be postponing the game release until they had chosen the winners for this contest, as so they could know if they won a copy of the game before buying it. I stand by you on this decision TTG.

[StrongBadinator]

They recieved a good few hundred I recon...

Hundred? yeah right! i bet at least 1,000 people entered!

[andersod]

I wouldnt think that many. how many people with wii's are on this sight... i wouldn't think over 150.

[The_Strongest_of_Bads]

Freebie guy then, eh?

Anyways, it was my B-Day yesterday so my Mum and Dad gave me a 2000 Wii Point Card! :)

I'll still buy it even if I don't win, day one! :D

[StrongMatt]

Damn! Didn't win!

[Emily]

Winners announced! (http://www.telltalegames.com/community/blogs/id-348)

[The_Strongest_of_Bads]

Oh well :(

[Jake]

Those who didn't win, you're still of course welcome to post your Miis here!

[Juhsayngul]

That's a situation where thinking INSIDE the box gives you an advantage.

[dentbuds]

oh well. i will start thinking of a new mii for the next contest. here's who i sent in. old timey strong bad. i guess it could have been better, but now i know what i could do to make a better mii!! congrats to the winners.

[The_Strongest_of_Bads]

Here's mine:

http://i202.photobucket.com/albums/aa98/Palmerifics/strondbad.jpg

If I would've tweaked him a bit and put him into Wii sports, he might have looked pretty good..

BTW it was supposed to be Strong Bad :P

[Juhsayngul]

It sure was.

[randomworldland]

I wish I had a Wii. :(

[Juhsayngul]

I will grant your wish for 5 easy payments of $49.99. I live at your local Wal-Mart. I'm the invisible guy near the video games. You'll know what to do.

[CKcheeseboy]

Mine was supposed to be Larry Palaroncini from Limozeen. I was trying to pick a character I didn't think many people would do. It's not great, but I kinda rushed him because I had to send my Wii in for repairs and wasn't sure how soon it would be back (yeah, let's go with that excuse).

[Juhsayngul]

This thread ought to be changed to "Old Strong Bad Contest: Make a Mii, win a game -winners announced!"

[StrongMatt]

New contest please! LOL.

Like the win your name in the game, maybe another one of them soon please?

[StrongMatt]

Sorry for the double post, but here's my entry!

[BadStrong]

Congrats to all the winners. Here's my KOT:

[someguyfromazoo]

Congrats to all the winners. Here's my KOT:

Awesome! This is why I wish you could widen the nose.

[BadStrong]

Awesome! This is why I wish you could widen the nose.

Yes, but sadly I had to settle for the largest possible nose. :(

[splash1]

what was the prize for the contest anyway?

[BadStrong]

The first episode of SBCG4AP was the prize.

[splash1]

ah man and i was gonna enter! yes i have a Wii

[TomSuperman]

Will the Mii be in the first episode.

[MarkDarin]

Will the Mii be in the first episode.

Nope

[TomSuperman]

Can't it at least be in a picture frame in the game.

[Derwin]

I am just going to print the winning entries out on overhead transparency paper and put the printout on my TV. That way, I can pretend they are in the game.

[Ryusuke]

*panting* I was...too late. ....I'm sorry Suzy! I failed you!!! ;_; (...o_o where the heck did that name come from?)

Ah, well, congrats to the winners!

[Senor Cardgage Man]

Awww man i wanted to win soo badly. Those fours stars my Bubs Mii got on the check mii out channel gave me a lotta hope, too. but at least i've made some more miis now. using the results as guidelines, i made senor cardgage and strong bad!
