AGS Photoshop Phriday 7/11/2003 - "Real life Puzzles"

[DGMacphee]

What is a Photoshop Phriday?

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, MSPaint, or any other programs can be used.

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, make sure your image doesn't exceed the width of the screen -- If it does, I will delete it.

-------------------------------------

What do I have to do?

This week's Photoshop Phriday is: "Real Life Puzzles"

This one is a little more advanced than previous ones.

Simply photoshop two or more real life images to make a replica of a famous adventure game puzzle/scene.

For example:



Also, don't tell which puzzle/scene it is -- See if people can guess it.

If you guess, make sure you *hide* your answer.

Special thanks to Esseb for this idea!

K here's my entry

shouldn't be too hard to figure out

[DGMacphee]

At first I thought it was Sam n Max (the puzzle at the bungee tarpits), but the hooded guy can only mean Bobbin, Manny, or the Manhunter.

I'm stumped -- Anyone else want to try?

Here's another one -- very easy this one:




EDIT: I got N3T's entry after doing a little research, but I haven't played the game in N3T's entry.

DING DING -- Remixor got it

What about my first one?

P.S. Just added a note to hide your guesses so it doesn't spoil the fun for others.

[Dave Gilbert]

I'm bored.  Here's another one.

[SSH]

This is from a very old adventure, before we had thing like pixels... (pretty obvious, really):

[Inkoddi]

Spoiler

It's this text adventure (whassitsname?) based on The Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams

[Ben]

Fucking non-metric wrenches.

EDIT:



Fucking Canadian coins.

[n3tgraph]

well at least Pumaman got mine right

DG!!!
You didn't play StS 2??

[remixor]

Spoiler

Ben: MI2 of course (I think)

[close]

I gotta say, this is one of my favorite Photoshop Phridays... great idea!


EDIt: forgot my spoiler tags

[Ben]

remixor: right you are.

By the way, I actually made two versions of the monkey wrench picture. The first one didn't quite convey what I wanted. You can probably see why:

Don't click at shool or work, kids!

[DGMacphee]

N3T: Nope, never played it -- played StS1 though.

[Ali]

[Bluke4x4]

Man, I remember that from somewhere Ali... It was one of the first games I played...

  OH! WAIT!

Spoiler

Pleughburg! Right?

Awesome.  

Spoiler

Kyrandia 3: Malcolm's Revenge - By far the best Kyrandia game and one of the cooler adventures

[close]

[n3tgraph]

I kinda figured it was a kyrandia game, but I still think 1 is the besht

[BOYD1981]

Boyd:

Discworld

[close]

Duzz: thats the best adventure game ever imo. The ends of the earth is the reason I think so.

[remixor]

Spoiler

BOYD: That's from Grim Fandango, when you have to get the metal detector out of the giant litter box.

[close]

[Duzz]

I always prefered the second kyrandia, The third had too many annoying bits like the jail sequences and the jungle maze... and that hand thing was cool.

[TheYak]

The second one was cool.  The heroine was a lot different from most adventure game females (Not perky & goody-goody) and she kicked so much ass over Brandon (Annoying little stick-up-his-arse dude).  The hand was really cool too, the different worlds were amazing and the art was excellent.  I think the reason the 3rd sticks in my mind so much is that Malcolm was such an a-hole.  Random comments like, "Ah, squirrels. I like squirrels," and, "Clouds, I like clouds," followed by multi-clicking or randomly said, "Squirrels..  he he..  *boom!*"  I dunno, I liked the whole good vs. evil scenario even if the consciences were overly obnoxious.  I definately prefer the 2D art of the previous ones, though.  Argh, this photoshop phriday (eat a dick, eric) is becoming Adventure Game Talk & Chat.

[MrColossal]

argh this photoshop phriday is becoming a background blitz!

[DGMacphee]

More photoshops! BLARG!!

DG HUNGRY!!!




Here's another one:

[remixor]

Er....Lemmings?  

[Gilbert]

Obvious, right?

[n3tgraph]

Spoiler

hehehe LOL, at first I was thinking about LSL1, and that that was a drunkard laying there being drunk, but I suppose it's Pleurghburgh again the bloody robe in the toilet

[close]

[Raggit]

Nice one DG.

But what is it from?

[DGMacphee]

Look at that cowboy on the cliff and see those snails falling down -- Big clue!  

[TheYak]

Well that would mean it's

Spoiler

[close]

.  But I thought the cowboy was a pirate or perhaps a soldier from the revolutionary war..  and the snails I couldn't pick out even after you mentioned them, until I'd started at the picture for 10 seconds or so.. they blend into the landscape making it look like a slope instead of a cliff.  Good idea for one, though.

[DGMacphee]

Yeah, good idea -- poorly implemented.
