WINNER - Closing-Gap

[hitman_cs325]

What is the closing date ?

[AdamR]

What if we already have those games but want to submit a cool wallpaper anyway?

[KingDaveRa]

Apple style? Why?

That's a tad un-imaginative. Pretty much anybody could knock something like that out in half an hour with photoshop and a few choice tutorials.

[Axon]

if u wanna submit but not enter just say ur not entering, and the closing date is the 15/7/08 details updated

[Mingtea]

[Closing-Gap]

Well, here's mine;

http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y266/frazzle96/lolblackwiththatthingy.png

Basically an evolution of Half-Life wallpaper (note the Hev-suit, old Hev-suit recharger panel and that bloody Gnome which you have to carry all the way through the game just to get a lousy achievement).



Managed to make it using only Garry's Mod, Paint and Paint.Net, quite chuffed with it myself actually. :awesome: (No fancy photoshop)

1920x1200 size of the wallpaper; http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y266/frazzle96/lolblackwiththatthingymacsize.png (ok the link is fudged, Photobucket won't let me put one up that's that big).


hopefully this'll force my brother to start playing PC games after his Xbox got red-rings again, if i win this.
(Haven't supplied a steam name as he has yet to make one).

[Narella]

Oh crap - closing date, today!

[Axon]

Closing at 8pm tonite get ur entries in b4 its too late ;-)

[Elbonio]

Just for fun, it's a bit rushed and not very high quality (I couldnt find my DVD to take screengrabs). Though I did make the logo which I think came out quite well.

Im happy to announce that Closing-Gap has won this competition congrats :D:

A PM is coming your way ;)

[Portia]

Damn, I thought I had it in the bag :(


Elbonio, if you find the DVD, listen to the director's commentary (Frank Oz). He explains how, for example, the sets were built for the actors, as they had a set number of steps to get from A to B which was determined by the music and other such nuggets...
