The winning entry was submitted by Steven Head. It was:

Bryan: Here we have a wild Fuzzy-Faced Blackburn that has already been tranquilized. Once the animal is suitably incapacitated, we'll attach this radio transmitter to it by stapling it to his ass.

Some of the others (in no particular order):

  1. "The 3DR press tour has just begun. On the left, through that door, you'll see one of our favourite pastimes: 'Max Painful'. Steve is Max and Bryan the NYPD officer. If we continue through to the end of the corridor, we might catch a glimpse of Webmaster Joe at his computer trying out the new 'Fnord' feature for Duke Nukem Forever. Finally, as we exit this office, we see George Broussard trying to sell his soul to the devil if it means that he can say "When it's done" without provoking the 3DR forum trolls." (David Livingstone)
  2. "Bryan, tell me now... just what are you planning to do with that boxcutter and moist towelette?" (Steve Amren)
  3. "I don't know what Bryan's holding in his left hand, but I pray it has nothing to do with Steve kneeling in that position!" (Gautam Menon)
  4. What Steve does know is that they replaced the "R" with "L" (Alex Chee)
  5. You know what pisses me off? While we are all killing ourselves packing, unpacking, cleaning, restocking the coffee machine, checking orders, sending the game everywhere around the world and praying everything gonna be alright, this guy only thinks about taking pictures of us! (Michael Belanger)
  6. Bryan: "Staring at Steve's big ass is a payneful experience...like looking deep into an endless abyss of horror and suffering....Feeling trapped and in payne like being strapped to a waffle iron....an experience I know all too well...The dimly lit room was like the waiting room to hell...the smell of sulpher and Body Odor seeping into my clothes...I had to turn from Steve's Big Ass....Looking at it was making my stomach writhe in payne....I didn't even want to contemplate what was causing that gaseous odor emanating from within...." (Daryl Moxham)
  7. "And now Steve and I will prove that playing Max Payne is much more enjoyable than giving a co-worker a prostate exam." (Cosmo ???)
  8. Despite Bryan and Steve's nostalgic enthusiasm, the punchcard version of Max Payne never really caught on. (Andrew Kepple)
  9. Bryan and Steve drop to the ground in an effort to avoid the potentially lethal effects of one of Joe Siegler's post-lunch "Stealth Farts"! (Don Chin)

In reality, this is Bryan Turner & Steve Blackburn cleaning up after we had finished getting all the Max Payne pre-orders boxed up and ready to go.

Here's some special ones:

  • Pin the Tail on the 3DR VP. Fun for the whole family! (Lee Jackson)
  • Bryan: "Finally, after all these years of being screwed around by the bosses...my revenge is nigh!!!" (Also Lee Jackson)
  • Bryan: "Look at the copy of Xenophage in my hand.. Voila - it's gone - like magic!"
    Steve: "Uh Bryan, where'd that copy really go? I have the overwelming urge to use the men's room" (Joe Siegler)

And of course, we can't forget the Xenophage entries (they seem to be out numbering good regular entries anymore):
  • As Steve finishes packing the mail bombs to the people that keep dissing Xenophage in the caption contest, Bryan can't help but cop a feel. (El Chiwawa ???)
  • "By golly it's a Xenophage box! Now who woulda thought that'd be there?" (David Herdman)
  • "OK, we packed the last of the Xenophage boxes. Now let's go bury them." (Frank DeCandia)
  • Steve: I don't care where the customers told you to shove those Xenophage discs Bryan, so stop trying to sneak up behind me! (Stephen Head)
