For the last few weeks, we’ve been running a challenge every weekend where users submit their best caption for a funny screenshot from an Age of Empires game.
We post a new one every Saturday on our Facebook and Twitter feeds, so keep an eye out if you’d like to participate! And, of course, if you have any great screenshots that would be awesome for a weekend caption challenge, post them on our Facebook wall or Tweet them to @ageofempires!
This isn’t a contest, so there aren’t any prizes—it’s just a fun thing for the community to do together! However, each week, we’ll feature the funniest captions right here on the Age of Empires blog (with credit, of course!)
And now, for our first Weekend Caption Challenge blog post, please enjoy an epic TRIPLE POST featuring our favorite submissions from this month!
