This WORLD features all official updates from our network.

New Quiz Feature + Facebook Share!

Well, it's not QUITE a "new" feature since we had it pre-Version Vibrant, but who's keeping track?

When you take one of our quizzes you can now see what % of our members also received the same result.

Right now there's not much data in our system so we urge all of you to take as many quizzes as possible to boost up the count.

We're also testing the ability to facebook-share across most of our sites (fan art, wallpapers, etc.). Click the "Share This" link and the facebook-share option is at the bottom.

New Challenges Upgrade

This is something that'll make contributing to challenges so much more streamlined.

You can now sort all challenges to find the ones that are expiring soonest.

A small and obvious upgrade, but helpful to those who don't want to let an open challenge lapse without at least a few quality entries. ^_^

(If anyone has suggestions for more challenges upgrades, please post them here!)

Caption Battle: Themed Month Banzai!

"It's that time again..."
"To watch Glee?"
"To find out what other things Nathan Fillion has been in?"
"No... it's time for this week's caption battle!"

But first, last week's winners:

In third place, inverting the inherent horror of the image: fallenangel8!

Little did she know that the dolls would attack her in her sleep. RIP

In second place, because pants are always funny: ChibiSasuke!

They say you don't know what you have until it's gone.
That's what Keiichi thought about his pants.

And in the coveted first place with deliciously spot-on delivery among other things... EtherForce!

Did Keiichi Scream?
Rena squeezed his precious loins.
Keiichi screamed loud.

Fun times... I hope you'll all enjoyed that, though. 'Cause we turn sinister this October...

...yeah, that's right... I'm pulling another Themed Month on you guys! Ladies and gentlemen, Welcome To K-On! Month!

So this week's screencap come from none other than the Main Moe-Man himself, Desbreko (that's DES-BRE-KO). The girls are, from left to right: Yui Hirasawa, Tsumugi Kotobuki (in the back), Ritsu Tainaka, and Mio Akiyama. Enjoy:

You know the drill: type up the funniest, wittiest, most original caption you can think of for the screencap above in the comments below. Also, if any of you would like some tips on writing a great caption, you can find those here.

And like always, theOtaku is open to all submissions and suggestions for weekly feature content. You have a screencap you want used, you can PM me and we can do somethin' about it. So good luck, and remember: we don't get all our screencaps from Des' - he just happens to have more on file than you.
