Which is EXACTLY why I disabled changing votes for these. I want people to vote with what their gut says, and not change it after. :)

Tawm, what will happen to PQ in the next polls? Are you going to include the SWAT games to keep the series in?

What's the difference? Nobody's going to vote for them anyway. :P

SQ4, despite the fact that the game was a bit buggy and the skate-o-rama thing was awfully implemented. It had the series's trademark humor but also actually had a well-written and engaging storyline and of course Gary Owens's fantastic narration.

I'm on a toss-up between SQ4 and KQ4 as well.

SQ4 introduced Gary Owens, came up with an original time travel concept, and practically re-invented self-referential humor. And if you know exactly how to beat it, watching the game unfold is like watching a very serious movie take a lot of quirky turns.

On the other hand, I already clicked on KQ4 for the nostalgia factor. That, and it really re-captured the original KQ1 formula in a whole new way. It had an amazing soundtrack, the characters were rich, and... it had the whale tongue.

I think I want to change my vote for SQ4. But wait - that one had the skate-o-rama! Grrr!

I'll keep it on KQ4, just because I blame SQ4 for introducing time-travel plot-points that have otherwise screwed with the canon for the rest of the series and made writing SQ fan-games a living nightmare.

Exactly!

Actually, no. Unless they make it through via votes, they won't be included (which is why there won't be a SQ7, LSL7 (since LSL is one behind, because the lack of LSLIV), or PQ7).

So the next round would be:
Round 4 Champ
SQV
LSLVI
KQV

Then the one beyond that is:
Round 5 Champ
SQVI
LSLVII
KQVI

Last Round will Be:
Round 6 Champ
vs
KQVII

I have a feeling I know how it's going to go, too.

The final of finals will be all the Champs in one poll.
