Gamespot is currently holding a <a href="http://www.gamespot.com/greatest-video-game-villain/index.html">Best Villain</a> contest this week. Today is the final day to <a href="http://www.gamespot.com/greatest-video-game-villain/vote/battle-hub/index.html?battle_id=55">vote for Shao Kahn</a> vs <b>General RAAM</b> from <b>Gears of War</b>. As I write this <b>Shao Kahn is behind by a mere 50 votes</b>! So he needs everyone's help to move on to the <b>"Evil Eight"</b> round tomorrow. Did you already vote? Well using your cell phone for a 2nd vote, every vote counts and helps the cause!

Why should you vote for Kahn over RAAM? Our friend <b>Darque Bishop</b> from <a href="http://www.mortalkombatonline.com">Mortal Kombat Online</a> said it best:

* <b>Shao Kahn conquered entire realms</b> and survived past his initial game.
* <b>RAAM died in his first game failing to conquer anyone</b>.
* The worst RAAM can do is kill you.
* <b>With Kahn, you risk losing your soul to him</b>.

Ed Boon also <a href="https://twitter.com/noobde/status/24032770787">added some incentive on Twitter</a> to vote. He said he will <b>"reveal another character or screen shot or something cool about the new MK game"</b> if Shao Kahn wins! So go and <a href="http://www.gamespot.com/greatest-video-game-villain/vote/battle-hub/index.html?battle_id=55">Vote for Shao Kahn</a> so we can move him on to the next round!

C'mon and vote people! RAAM and Khan were tied at 50/50, but now Raam is ahead by .1%. Thats is only like 250 votes.
 
I have been watching the poll all afternoon and it is so close! RAAM and Khan are only like 50 votes apart.

I think some 4chan folk were trying to offset the results. That's where I first got wind of this poll.
 
Emperor Khan is finally in the lead! I have been watching this poll and campaigning for him since around noon Eastern time today. Go Khan!!
 
4chan joined in to troll Final Fantasy fans by knocking out Sephiroth in the first round with RAAM (completely destroying my bracket). Now they are just pushing RAAM through. I'm hoping Shao Kahn wins.
 
Screw it. We all know who would have won without all the cheating. I voted once for the guy that has a game franchise built around him and not just one boss battle and then going down. Just sad that the Gears fanboys can't play fair and we may not to see who Kahn would have crushed next. Guess you can fight a hand full of nerds with nothing better than skew a poll that doesn't benefit them at all. God bless the Internets. Sorry Mr. Boon we tried.

P.S. If RAAM beats Vader then gamespot should know better and just shut down the whole poll.
 
I don't think Gears fans had anything to do with it. I think 4chan saw saw an opportunity to disrupt the outcome to torment MK fan(boys).

And to me, Vader shouldn't even be in such a poll seeing how he originated from a movie.

You are probably right and it is just missed placed anger but I still don't think RAAM even belongs in the poll. He is only in one game. And it doesn't matter form of media it is Vader is just the ultimate villain in most peoples eyes and I don't see him loosing. There is nothing wrong with being a fanboy and Vader is like the Fanboy God.
 
Bump to add Ed's Teaser! I want to see everyone voting and then replying here in the comments. This is for the good of the community!
