Orgasmic Anal Probe?

Smells gross.

It's an acquired flavor...

BACK TO SERIOUS MATTERS:

I agree with Ali about the yellow sub-head it's a bit difficult to read, i'm not sure tacky is the right word but I empathize with the sentiment. Commenting on my original issue: there's nothing WRONG with the font used for "AGS" but I think there's got to be one that aligns better with the feel of the whole layout than the current one. More pressing, however, is finding someway to make that yellow font not remind me of LL Cool J.

The white was hurting my eyes:

YAYO for KAIO!!! Congrats!

F**k You Monkey... F**k You.

He knows what he did.





P.S. Happy 40th!

Good luck and be safe!

Quit blogging in the bathroom, don't you know you'll go blind?

^^^^^^^^^ Gets My Vote ^^^^^^^^^

Steven Speilburg looks like Alf. But so does George Lucas. It is disconcerting .

They ARE Alf...

CREPPY F**CKING BABY FACES!!! ARGH!!!

You painted the photoframes, added a vase and blacked out the desk/bookshelf...

I'm confused.

It's funny because everything that happened in this thread happened to me when I first saw that pic. I thought:

James Bond! Good entry... but which one? That's definately not connery... Moore? Hmmm, I need a closer look.

*leans in to computer*  facially, it looks a bit like Arnold "Get Down" Schwarzenegger... but no. Not enough bulk. That'd be a horrible Arnold.

I'll resize it in photoshop: Right Click > Save File

My Documents> Search for file... searching for the damned file... I need to clean up my documents on this computer... searching...

DIRTY HARRY.JPG?! WTF?!

=P



P.S. Your colors are fine, I was talking about the Avatar theif Wonky.

I give you one of the more famous people in the multiverse, and I don't know how you could possibly not know him:


Probably not a real entry, as it's blow most otheres out of the water, but it's a default at least.

It's 32 colors...  =' [ Disqualified

I said NO Mark McGrath!!!!

[Rules:]

For this Sprite Jam I want to see some famous faces! There are lots of reason you can be a celebrity, an incredible body of work, being a total dick, being related to somebody else whom is famous, they don't need to be a celebrity for any particular reason just sprite-i-tize somebody famous!

Rules:
  * Sprite must fit in a 320 x 200 resolution
  * Color Palette must be 16 Colors or less
  * Celebrity must be recognizable and well known (to be determined by the voters)
  * Bonus points if you do a full "in-game" mock-up
  * One entry per user, feel free to submit more than one entry but please clarify which one you would like to be judged.
  * BTW, there is no "period" from which you must select your celebrity. As long as they are well-known. Napoleon? Sure. Hitler? Go ahead. Mark McGrath? Hmmm- well I did say "celebrity" so he might be out... Brad Pitt? Yup. Amy Winehouse? You've got the hang of it now!
  * Entries must be submitted before 04/26/2010

Trophies will be posted on Wednesday when I get back home! YAYAYAYAY!

Good luck!

Perhaps an extension or do I win AGAIN?

THE WINNER IS CSHELTON! CONGRATS!!!!!!

I will be posting trophies soon hopefully! I am current not at a computer with decent art programs. As soon as I am back at home I will send them out for your signaturing pleasure...

VERY VERY VERY closely played. Thank you ALL for voting and more-so if you submitted. I am so glad this comp is back!

[Rules:]

Every great protagonist and every interesting antagonist have a lair. Maybe it's a Detectives Office, maybe it's a Throne Room, maybe it's a basement Laboratory. There is one place where they do their thinking, where they spend most of their creative time. Often we never get to see their lair.

For this Background Blitz I want you to give us a glimpse at the most intimate setting imaginable, the lair.



Rules: Think of a character, either existing or newly invented; I don't care whom it is. Then examine who that character is, what makes them who they are. I will be looking for details. Anyone can slap together four corners, an XBOX and a sofa; I want posters on the wall, do-dads on shelves I want to feel that this is a space in which someone lives, I want to feel that it is truly the base of operations. There is no restriction on the setting, colors, size, anything like that. You can interpret Superman Secret Control Center, a Drug Kingpins lavish bedroom suite, a fringe magician driven to madness by his work, squatting a giant clock tower, a home office for a single mom who happens to be telekinetic.  Whatever, pick a character or create a character and show me who they are, tell me their story by showing me the most private, comfortable and habited place in their life.

I will be considering "polish/technique" or how GOOD the image looks beneath "depth/usefulness" or how much detail and thought has gone into the image.



The contest will be running from whenever you read this until the 23rd of April.


Voting: Same as the last time, we will hold public voting after the contest has concluded and a majority vote will determine the winner! Here are the criteria for voting.

Idea - How strong and original is the concept? Is it a good response to the contest topic?
Technique - How well executed is the background as a piece of art within the chosen style?
Usefulness - How well would it work as an adventure game background, and how useful would the background be in a game?

Well I had typed out a huge post but it got eaten my internet demons.

Anywho:

http://www.airbnb.com/ is super cheap I found stuff as low as $20 per night.

If you're looking for something a little more homely:

ISn't like renting out a hotel. They're furnished apartments/houses/condos/etc that you can rent on a night-per-night basis and sometimes if you're planning on staying longer you can get good deals if you communicate with the owners.



There were other tips I had and things I found but I can't remember the stream of consciousness that I had going...

Calin your girlfriend seems a bit angry...

All I know is that I'm glad I was born in England 2.0, because we're the ones that finally got it right.

Seriously... this is the closest comp EVER (today.)

Not a huge fan of the font used for AGS, or the subtitle sitting ontop of it.... Other than that it's sexy as hell!

I just realized this is viral marketing for the new Tron film :o

I noticed quite alot of Tron stuff (Flynns Arcade?) but I didn't think anything of it. Although I've seen two trailer for the film and it looks pretty sick.
