When Rick is dancing inside, his backup dancer (on the right) didn't know any of the moves. Also the bartender arrived extremely hungover and spent most of the shoot passed out on the pool table.- Pop Up Video

@abramokids: On your keyboard, push the following combination:

Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, B, A

(no select + start)

@abramokids: There was no start select in the original Konami Command. It is older than you think.

@xarous: @unclefrog: Yeah, there's my problem. I swapped A and B. Also, I may have imagined the start and select @_@

Note that you cannot type in the code too fast or it won't work. It was only Crapshoot for me. Ah, the memories. >=[

@wootfast: IC, I don't do that twitter stuff.

@sykotek: And it won't work if you have auto-search on, like right when you start typing on the keyboard it automatically searches the website.

@abramokids: I'm guessing that you played Contra... a lot! The select and start were to select 2 players, and, of course, start was to... start.

@mrmucox: Haha, actually, and I'm ashamed to say this, I never played Contra. I'm just pretty well versed in video game references. Although I'm looking forward to eventually playing Contra 3D on the 3DS

Just noticed, this works on deals.woot on any page. Too lazy to see if that applies to the other woot sites too

Hey, log in or sign up first!

Whatever it is you're trying to do can ONLY be done by registered, logged-in Deals.Woot members. Why? Because they're better people than you. Don't worry: you can easily improve yourself by logging into your Woot account or signing up for a new one.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
