Caption Crunch Winner: Ultimate Mini-Gaming Setup

Posted by Tim Moynihan | Thursday, June 26, 2008 3:24 PM PT

Update 6/26: This was a huge week for Caption Crunch history. A week of firsts. A week of legend. A week to remember.

First, the good news: chosendragon is the first two-time Caption Crunch winner. You may remember chosendragon's fine caption-writing work from this edition of Caption Crunch. Chalk another one in the win column, chosendragon, because you're this week's winner as well.

And now, the bad news: this week's contest also set a new low in terms of caption submissions. Of the six submitted, two were duplicates and one was off-topic. Come on, y'all, we know you can do better than that!

Congratulations, chosendragon, and keep those championship-caliber captions coming. Thanks to everyone who participated in this week's installment, and tune in next Friday for a brand-new Caption Crunch contest.

What follows is the original text for this contest.

Hello, and welcome to another scintillating installment of Caption Crunch, the every-other-week caption-writing contest where we provide the pic and you provide the yuks and/or guffaws.

Senior Writer Darren Gladstone loves gaming and loves mini-notebooks. The twain meet nicely in this photo, in which he hooks up his mammoth X-Arcade TankStick to a tiny Fujitsu Lifebook U810. The result is big-time small-screen gaming.
