Food poisoning's a b*tch. Sorry for the hiccup in contest posts, but we'll catch up right away. Round 24's winner was darkcyder, while Outlaw_Spike won Round 25. Just a note, round 15 is still going on. It looks like my shipping materials are never going to come from USPS, so it looks like I'll have to venture out and find some. At the end of the month, I'll compile a list of all the winners, I promise <3

So now, onto the next round of the game. As before, I'll name three categories, and you need to respond with an item that fits into each one. The catch is that you cannot match any segment of a prior response. You can't correct your answer, but you can submit another. But please, don't spam. There must be at least two responses between your postings. I'm not going to deal with a wall of you.

Sample question: "Name a member of the Gurren Brigade, a show that Bandai Entertainment has put out, and a Gundam series."
Valid response: "Kittan, Lucky Star, Gundam Wing." 

Running with this example, if I responded with these three items, it means that no one else can use them from that point on. So, if two people mention the same thing, that segment of the later person's answer is nulled. So that's why we're selecting the winner by the 25th, 50th, 75th, and 100th item named. So, when you post your three responses, that is ideally three out of the 25/50/75/100. But, peoples' answers can get cut down to less than three items, so it isn't guaranteed that the 9th/17th/etc commenter will get the prize.

Are you ready? Then head after the jump for today's three contest categories.
