Wow, some of these are simply amazing. They made me cry of laughter man. So well done. The Silent Hill one is amazing, by the way. I'd love to learn how to use Phothoshop that well.

The Starwolf one should have won.

Ugh, that first sentence is supposed to end with a question mark. Also, I agree, AndelleRae, the Silent Hill one was actually pretty creepy. It looks like something they'd use as an actual ad for the game.

Are you people that are complaining about #1 not actually following the rest of the posts. It's been explained several times. The only guideline it doesn't follow is "poster." It IS villain recruitment. MSJ nailed it, saying it's the winner because it's the least obvious. It's something the bad guys in HL would actually use (looking at it from a comedic standpoint) because no one would volunteer to be a zombie. I'm not going to debate which ones "suck" because that's a a matter of opinion. #1 is however, a clever take on the idea.

The Silent Hill one was spectacular. Totally awesome.

Posted on 4/30/2008 7:04:33 AM

Puckulence, I totally agree with you. I think they should let the fellow readers who don't participate in the forums to vote on the number 1. That one wasn't funny and wasn't a recruitment poster- it was an ad!

No. 1 is the winner because it's the least obvious. You never suspect it to 'recruit' villains. It's more of a scam and very subtle. Probably won't work with a poison 'crab though. Those things make that scary sound. You,ll know if you've played HL2.

I agree 100% with Playbahnosh and Sigma.

You know, this would have been a lot better if all the ones with PS skillz worse than my mom had been weeded out. Leaving less than ten.

I'd have to say that #24 was easily my favorite

Posted on 4/27/2008 4:23:41 PM

I got anal warts from someone I met at wealthykissdotcom

I've seen some posters on Wealthy Kiss.c o m. It's a dating site where people can find their perfect matches or quality friendships. Got no idea who posted themn up there.

#1 isnt funny, and NOT a villain recruitment poster at all....

Posted on 4/27/2008 4:28:20 AM

why is it that every time i see one of these user created lists i laugh at almost every one except the #1? at the majority of these ones aren't that funny

Posted on 4/25/2008 10:45:09 PM

man you guys really need to work on who gets on the top 25 and who wins #1, because really i've seen better than the ones that are up here :/ only a few of those are funny and the ones that win don't make no sense what so ever

Posted on 4/25/2008 6:11:24 PM

Im gonna say 22 and 5 were my favorites.

Posted on 4/25/2008 2:58:55 PM

there was one i noticed on the forums. a plain white background, with a photo of ganondorf. "remember when you only got clothes for christmas? all clothes? well it wasn't santas fault. (notice picture of toonish link crossed out) it was the elfs"... i really hoped that would get there. another concept i just thought of: Salazar. He has no friends.

Posted on 4/25/2008 1:34:14 PM

Sigma, the "recruitment" is suckering people into ordering the crab that will then make the orderer into a zombie, thus recruiting them... I guess.

Posted on 4/25/2008 12:06:54 PM

But no1 isnt a Video Game Villain Recruitment Poster.

Posted on 4/25/2008 10:09:00 AM

Every time I signed in __ Bigblackconnect.com __ and there were always many women would talk to me ... It is a funny and interesting place to talk to these thoughtful women.
