    I notice that there is still a distinct lack of pictures on this thread. For shame, men, for shame.

    Man you do make people work for their games. Maybe I am too generous. :D

    By the time your contest ends I will have given away 70 games and on the final stretch for the final big one...

    Slave driver. ;)

    I don't mind it, I'm not really in the position to be able to buy games freely, paying for college & rent takes the majority of funds(I'm still trying to figure out how to save up for a gaming laptop). So if an opportunity comes by to be able to get a free game or two via (albeit odd) requests, I'm all for it :]

    Well, I'm just glad it's only games that he likes to dangle in front of people, it could have been a lot worse, I'm just saying. :eek:

    What is it? It's the coins I found in my bathroom. On my head. :D
    Yeah yeah, it doesn't look like much, but it sure does take f#$@*( forever to balance on my head. There's more coins underneath the paper btw.

    Oh wait, the words on the paper are so blurry, you can't even make out my username. :(

    Oh well, no one else has submitted anything so... I think I might win! YAY! :rolleyes:

    Hope no one else submits anything while I'm gone to somewhere warm and without internet! :p

    Forge, you should give me a prize because I'm the first to submit something Oh High Lord Forge The Greatest *bows down*. :cool:

    Okay, here's my entry.
    IMG_0205.jpg
    As a caption I wanted to add "That reminds me of a puzzle".

    It only really makes sense if you've ever played the Professor Layton series for the Nintendo DS, I swear everything reminds that man of a puzzle xD

    ..Get it?..a rubix cube is a puzzle..its on top of my brain-powered thinking head..

    I'm not funny.

    As an Asian, I would never do that. It would open me up to potentional mockery.

    I would make a horrible father.

    "Dad, could you get me the newest Power Rangers character for Christmas."
    "No, get a job."
    "But daddy, I'm only four."
    " Get a job!"



    And contestants, remember, you can change your picture around as much as you want. If you don't like how yours turned out or whatever, just replace your entry.

    See I would have done this but I already have the game.

    Would have posted something amazing, like Reizo's pelt turned into a fine cap and loin cloth.

    Oh right, i should probably explain to others why im still taking part. Ever since HTWingNuts contest i was able to get LFD2, which was when i asked permission of Forge via pm if i could still be considered.

    He agreed(which was when i uploaded my last pic) when i told him my intent would be to gift the award to someone very close to me, a friend of mine back home, so we'd still (kinda) be able to connect with one another...running from zombies screaming x]

    Thats only if i was one of the three winners, course.
