Forum Photoshop Contest - Week 1

I figure this could be a bit of fun, and we've got some really talented people on here. So, if this works out, I might make it a weekly/fortnightly/monthly thing, with a grand prize of NOTHING I've not decided how to pick a winner yet. Maybe Hudson and Col. Jessep would like to step in and judge? I considered letting the winner pick the next week's picture, but that could end badly, so I'll just pick them. Make it MNC-related for extra lulz (or should it have to be MNC-related?)

Basic rules: Keep it clean. If it's complete debauchery, it had better be worth a week ban. Although, it normally is worth it :mrgreen:

Only one entry per post, and you can't post again until at least one person has posted after your previous entry. This is just to stop one person from making all the obvious photoshops, and gives everyone a chance to participate


GIMP is a free image manipulation tool, like Photoshop

This week's topic

Mass Effect

Fantastic, you pick the one popular game I can't get behind.

It was funnier in my head, I swear



...what's that? Oh, I don't know what you're talking about. There was never an Assault in that image.

Yeah, well you try using the free select tool with a netbook and a trackpad!

Shush, it's released on PS3 this week and it's in current gaming news I should also throw out a spoiler warning, just in case. Never know what images people will 'shop

You're all lazy.

You could make it a poll once the submissions are in and have the players vote on their favorite.

What? You don't like ME?

Nobody likes YOU

Wait, it's Opposite Day? Gawddamnit, why do I always forget?

Ain't that the truth.

I'm trying to get to the bottom of what sensitivepsycho's issue is with it being Mass Effect, because if he doesn't like Mass Effect, we may have to just shut it all down. SHUT IT DOWN. CANCEL CHRISTMAS!! EVERYTHING'S RUINED!

I just couldn't get into the story. I loved KOTOR and Jade Empire. I played the first one 'till I went to some frozen place and drove around on the dune buggy yoke, and I just lost interest. I've tried playing it again a few times, but every time I find myself thinking "I really don't care what happens to these characters".

We should start a thread about this or take it to PMs if you care that much, I've been far too off-topic these days.

KOTOR was awesome, Mass Effect is pretty damn good too.


But Dragon Age:Origins was a total bastard child of what Bioware can do

I can't guarantee anything, but I might make something within the next few days if this is still up. Do you want something more artsy, or more funny?

Well if nobody else is willing to play along, don't bother, unless you want to. I had some funny Mass Night Combat ideas, but I was waiting for others to post

Id be more than happy to throw down but its been a good minute since ive been on Mass Effect and still havnt played 2, so i feel like i cant cover this topic well enough to make anyone even giggle :?

I can't say when, but I'll definitely give the thread some love, because I like making stuff. I think if a few people decide to make stuff, more people will tag along.

Well I can make future topics more broad. I know there's some graphic designers on here, maybe people just don't read Off-Topic?

Anyway, here's another quickie, MNC-related again

Another possibilty might be because people are scared away by it being a "contest". Seems silly, but it can impact the amount of people drawn to the idea. At worst, you could just have the community create stuff of a certain theme every so often.

Well, there's no prizes, so it's a pretty crappy "contest"

Haha, it's too early to call that yet. However, I'm gonna quit spamming up your topic. I'll be back when I have something worth showing.

No, no, maybe if we get to page 3, people will notice us :geek: :lol:
