Our "scariest" Snapshooter contest is done, finished, complete! A big thank you to everyone who participated. There were many great entries, but unfortunately, there can be only one, erm...three:
- phillbugh16 - Because nothing is scarier than Ogre gas.
- Hadeskrieger - Because the Old Ones are always watching.
- Gigazelle - Because Tethys. Well played, bud. Well played...
Congratulations to our newest Snapshooters!
Next up: Boldest! We want to see screenshots showcasing nerves of steel. From now until September 2nd (a very very special day, Defenders) at 2pm EDT, go on a quest for the boldest in-game screenshot you can take and submit it in this blog. We'll pick three winners on September 3rd! (Which is just an OK day. Maybe a little bit more special due to its close relationship with the 2nd).
To enter, take an in-game screenshot and upload it to Steam. Embed the Steam image in a comment below, along with a link to the image on Steam. Screenshots without Steam links will not be chosen. You may submit as many images as you'd like, but please limit them to one per post.
The Snapshooter Contest is judged by a panel of Trendy Community Team employees with absolutely no taste. Except for me, of course. But really, I just think I have good taste.
Here is a loose guideline on how we'll be judging the screenshots:
- G.U.T. -- Genuine, Ultimate Tummy-feeling. If the screenshot tickles something inside our abdominal food synthesizers that makes us say “wow” or “good gravy,” chances are we’ll pick it as a winner. It's going to be very difficult, because nobody actually says "good gravy" anymore. I'm not even sure I want to say "good gravy."
- No HUDs -- Screenshots with the Heads Up Display activated will score lower than HUDless shots. Press “H” to let the game shine. For real, Defenders. No HUDs.
- Originality -- Don’t steal from other players. We’re watching you. In the event that a bunch of you have the same brilliant idea, we will only consider the first one.
- Dagon -- If you can incorporate Dagon, the ancient Mesopotamian god of grain, into your screenshot, you’ll earn extra points. How you’re going to do this with an in-game screenshot is beyond us, but we like to be surprised. A lot of extra points. I'm actually interested to see how you guys do this one.
You must have your Steam account linked to your forum account. All screenshots must be taken by the Steam account that’s linked to the forum account. Any entry that is stolen from another player will result in the permanent removal of your forum account.
