I tried to vote for the "Snakes AS a Plane" entry twice, but my account doesn't look like it'll be approved by "Midnight Mountain time"!lol

@Stevedroid, I agree mate would be nice to see an original entry win rather than something made previous to the contest.

It kind of disappoints me that the coin plane is going to win. I mean it's not something made originally for this contest and it's not even a jet. I'd much rather see something original, no matter how crappy, win.

Also, given that it's 50pence is the guy in England? I'm presuming the copies they have to give away are US copies of the game - if the guy lives in the UK, how likely is it he has a US 360? He's going to win a game he can't even play.

@Gam3r: I'll have you know that the P15-Thundercake was not "pushed" together. It was crafted by my very own hands and carefully constructed with kabob stick superstructure. Oh, and its delicious.

I still intend to vote, though... I just haven't decided which I'd rather vote for. The cotton swab Wright-Flyer is very impressively done, and the Ace Combat B2 is clever and... devoted, heheh.

I think I may have accidently double-voted. My comment didn't appear after awhile, so I submitted a new one.

I still don't see either of them, but I don't know if I just can't see them or what, but please don't ban me.

@Gam3r: I see where you're coming from... the liquor bottle and gaming paraphernalia ones have me a little miffed as well. It's a little painful to see several that were clearly thrown together within 15 minutes up there after working for a few hours on mine... and it sounds like you worked even harder.

I've lost all respect I had for Kotaku. I created a plane by cutting and welding scrap metal into a nice looking & large plane. I designed it so that it could hold vehicles inside and outfitted vehicles with Kotaku emblems. I spent days making this plane and it is evident.

And Kotaku doesn't even include it but you include planes made in two seconds that look worse.

Example, a plane made out of a liquor bottle with a piece of mikes hard lemonade cardboard laid on top of it. Are you kidding me... Or people throwing pieces of their gaming equipment into a pile (not all were mediocre,one was good)... Or someone pushing mash potatos or pancakes into a pile... etc.

I seriously cannot believe this, my impression of Kotaku has changed. I hereby boycott this contest and refuse to vote.

I hope posting this doesn't get me disqualified or something. But I guess it'd be worth it to prove my (and my brother's, mind you) creation is actually mine.

Wow, a lot of these are really cool. The fork one is awesome: abstract, it would look great blown up to actual size (using giant plastic forks). I can see Boeing commissioning one for $500,000 to put outside their headquarters. The Coke one made me laugh at loud, literally. But my vote has to go for the delicious Koblerone plane.

If I still had it, I was going to enter a plane that I made out of garbage bag twist ties thingies. It looked a lot like a Grumman Hellcat. The twist ties were even a dark blue like they were. I made it when I was in high school, but I could have stuck a K on it and sent it in...

Quick question, Bash: are submissions for all contests going to be voted in this way from this point on? While it's definitely much easier for tabulation, I can't help but feel a little something is lost when you can't read each entrant's "pitch."
