He say's he'll do the same for Bane later.
What kind of nerd does that? Seriously... He's gonna have carpal tunnel or something.
Someone with too much time,it appears that he has been caught or maybe he's slowing down.

Empire is probably pissed specially if they were planning on dragging this thing out until early next week. :lol:
I know, but it's funnier to imagine him sitting there voting 60,000 times by clicking everything nonstop :-D

He could have a script running, but it's also possible that they have a opening in how the votes get sent to the database that allow you to add dozens or more votes per page load. Count how many times you can click on the submit button before the page actually sends. If you click fast enough you can keep the page from sending. If they left a hole open in their code, it's possible all of the clicks would count as votes.

How much time did it take? I just wrote a simple macro using my Logitech G15 keyboard and then rested an object on top of the key to keep it active. So it really did not take any time. It's just occupying my desktop computer's time. Luckily I have my laptop to use in the meantime. :)
This is how he did it.

Anyway, with such an amount of votes, we should be able to see more. C'mon Empire, give us the covers already! :judge:

They clearly didn't think their site through. It moves up with every [so many] votes, but only updates that move every hour and votes got lost in the interim.

Empire won't care though, both covers will be fully revealed by the end of today and then we'll all go buy it.

For all you stranded Americans, I can try to pick up a free copy (my sister works at Bauer in advertising) and send it out to you.

Come on, who the hell cares, it's a fun game, just enjoy it :D Think of it as the following: probably by tomorrow we will have two official portraits of Bane and Batman. Don't blame Empire for anything, praise them instead for bringing us these cool covers.

Can't wait for the Nolan interview!

I guess the covers should be up by the time I wake up tomorrow.
