Honoring Stephen Colbert is the theme, and the results are in. There are 14 games ready for download made by 14 teams, 41 participants. All should run in Windows if the proper redistributables have been run.

First, I want to thank the particpants. They all worked hard and most came out with great, if a bit incomplete, games. I hope that Stephen Colbert is honored by the games and the hard work that went into them. My only regret regarding the contest is that I wasn't able to make one myself. Perhaps I'll get to work on World of Colbertcraft soon ;-)

Second, I want to thank our sponsors: Activision, EA, Microsoft, THQ, and Ed Baraf, Pete Knepley, and Dave Ratti. Their donations help to make these contests possible.

Third, I want to thank our judges: Professor John Laird, Professor Brian Winn, and Professor Bruce Maxim. Some came a long way. All took a great deal of care in evaluating the games - a time consuming process.

Fourth, I want to thank my co-organizer, Paul. Our working together made the largest 48 Hour Contest yet the most manageable yet.

Last, but not least, I want to thank Stephen Colbert for being the inspiration for our theme this year.

So, get to playing the games. Have fun!
