Hello again, everyone - Time for the Photoshop Phortnight once again. I am your host, SpacePirateCaine, and before we begin, I'd like to state the rules of the PP for anyone who hasn't read them before. So here they are:
What is the Photoshop Phortnight?
See this link:
http://www.somethingawful.com/photoshop/
And for other examples, see here:
http://www.worth1000.com/
The two above websites should give a fair idea of what is involved. Also you can check out the earlier Photoshop Phortnights in this forum.
Note: Photoshopping isn't drawing a completely new image -- It's editing images to create a new image, such as editing one image or combining several images.
Also, you don't have to specifically use Photoshop -- Paint Shop Pro, Gimp or any other ~equally good programs can be used.
Okay? Okay.
This time around, I've decided to use a tried-and-true PP topic, which I'm not sure has already been used on the AGS forums before. I was inspired by this particular photoshop phriday on Something Awful (http://www.somethingawful.com/d/photoshop-phriday/anagrammed-video-games.php) and thought that people who make adventure games in their spare time might just have a little fun with it, so I decided to steal the concept entirely. So here it is:
Anagrammed Video Games
Take the title of an existing video game and move the letters around to spell something else (in case you weren't sure what an anagram is). I'd generally prefer if the box art for the game is used, but if you'd rather use a screenshot, go right ahead. Photoshop the image to make the title fit.
Sound like fun? I think it does. And I'm hoping that you all agree!
Edit: Fixed the link. Forgot to write url=.

With no intention to win, I'm still gonna post my lameass entry:

Em, got a bit carried away, and following is not an entry, but a reason why Technos corp. went into bankruptcy...
...they didn't make this! I did!
(http://www.increator.pri.ee/i/compos/rcr2.jpg)
InCreator - that is awesome. It actually took me a little puzzling to work out exactly what game you were anagramming (River City Ransom, n'est-ce pas?), but The end result was that of me being immensely entertained. I'm not entirely sure if Technos didn't at one point at least think about making a love sim starring their beloved Kunio there. And if they didn't... Well god damn it, they should have.
That helped to add even a little more brightness to an already good day. Thanks - and to the rest of you, keep 'em coming! Competition's tight as it is - make it even harder to decide!
In my attempts to keep the blueish palette, I might have made the bottom text slightly ugly. I still like it though. :P

JC. Pimp.
Didn't you copy that from the something awful one?

Gah! >:( Actually I didn't, the online anagramist only gave 6 alternatives.
Exudes
Sued Ex
Used Ex
Dues Ex
Due Sex
Ed Ex Us
So I made the choice quickly. At first, I wanted an anagram for commander keen 6: aliens ate my babysitter, but that was too long. :( Ah well.

What? Couldn't think of a good anagram for "What Linus Bruckman Sees When His Eyes Are Closed?" :=

ROFLMAO!
Brilliant, agreed Darth this is the best ever! LoL @ all the entries.
Goodluck choosing a winner.

Perhaps the person in question realized that the anagram had already been used by one of the SomethingAwful entries (http://i.somethingawful.com/inserts/articlepics/photoshop/12-15-06-games/frumpsnake.jpg) which SpacePirateCaine linked to.

If it's too obcscene, I'll withdraw my entry--with puns aside, It wouldnt win anything anyway.

Just FYI, I'm still working on my entry. I should have it in sometime tonight (not sure if "until 24.6.07" meant until midnight on the 24th or the 25th; either way I'm in GMT -6:00). If possible, please wait for my entry before judging! I have to go right now, but when I get back home (~1 hour) I'll continue working on it and, again, should have it in sometime tonight.
Thanks! monkey

If anyone wants to photshop this:
"Beware ye, sir: Heathen Chinese Slam Dunk Locusts hew!"
(http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a23/FAMILIAR_QUEST/Unbenannt-5.png)
... yeah.
I'm afraid the heathen Chinese slam-dunk locusts, and "Reason Anus" will have to wait until "Game Anagrams 2", since the day has come and gone. I'd just like to say I'm impressed with the turnout for this competition, and I'm definitely glad I did it. I wish I'd thought of the theme myself, since that would be very awesome, but at the very least, I brought it to the AGS forums, and I'm very happy with the work that went into it.
Of course, with so many entries, I'm finding it very difficult to choose a winner. However, without a winner, there can be no next contest, and I'm already past the date. So I'm gonna stop waffling, and give it to Vince Twelve with:
"Banjo Nerd: A Real "At Mast" Virgin Porno" For the win! Congraturation, Vince:

Oh, I forgot all about this! Hilarious entries all around! Definitely one of the best Photoshop contests we've had in a long long while. Well done SPC! And thanks for the win. I'll start a new one as soon as I can think of a good topic. Hopefully we can keep up the momentum.
