Apparently I'm announcing results for some reason, and a week should be enough time, so here they are:

2nd LDC Bosses result: show
Goomba Death Tank by Fourinone!
Although both had a similar style, the tank came out ahead in the end.


Bosses of Two All Time Personal Best Levels result: show
Bouldergeist by Fourinone!
It really is an impressive, truly boss-like creation, no?


Late 2010 Bosses result: show
Omega Blooper by Venexis
Both were done quite well for certain, but it is hard not to be held in awe by the blooper's sheer size and brilliance overall.


Creature Features result: show
Goomzilla by Star king
Hard to say what caused the results for this one, considering how radically different the two are.


Mechanics result: show
Mechatron by Nwolf
Both are similar creations, but I suppose Mechatron really does carry its own unique charm. Its the block patterns that do it for me, personally.


Malevolent Conquerors result: show
Normabot by MP3 Amplifier
They really do the same style overall, and that might just be why this poll was the closest out of all of them.


Summer 2012: show
Hanmeus by Star king and MP3 Amplifier
Perhaps their overall level will be the favorite for the full contest as well? We shall see.


The Grand Duel (again)'s result: show
Parasite Queen by Volcove
... Admittedly, I don't think anyone's surprised by this one.



And there you have it - we're down to the final 8. More votes are always appreciated, so when the next poll is up, please swing by and give your input!
Will do sporadic level reviews on request - PM if interested. I will only do one level at a time. I tend to be rather critical.
Spoiler: show
Both made by MoD, naturally.

It keeps me thinking on the fact that Omega Blooper and Goomba Death Tank, which are both really old and original levels, are in the poll by, I am guessing, their originality and uniqueness of the idea. They are still standing out in these new generations of block bosses.

Anyways congrats to Vol, Ven, Amp&Star, and Fourinone.

Yay for Hanmeus. ^_^

I knew Normabot would fail against Parasite Queen anyway. XD

And now for our final round!

The first boss to be in, winning six votes to one is the recent bronze medalist of the 20th LDC

Hanmeus by Star king and MP3 Amplifier
which relegates Goomba Death Tank to (hehe) 4th!

The next poll, however, was heated, and the winner took his place by only one vote. Still, the results are quite shocking.

Omega Blooper by Venexis!
Venexis was certain Parasite Queen was going to be in! And so were many people, except of course the four who voted.

That places Parasite Queen in an honorable Third Place Position.

Last poll!

Wow I'm surprised.. O_O

First of all, I was convinced Parasite Queen was going to win the whole thing.
Second of all, I had no idea people liked our boss this much. xD

But yeah no votes from me, or it'd either be unfair or biased. Star I expect you to do the same. ;)
