The Show Us You Love RF Generation Contest!


WIN COOL PRIZES!  BE THE ENVY OF YOUR FRIENDS!  USE YOUR CREATIVE GENIUS!  HAVE YOUR CAKE AND EAT IT TOO!*

A third birthday, and with that another contest where you, our members, can win some nice swag! That's right, it is the "Show Us You Love RF Generation Contest". You may be wondering where the heck the Photoshop contest is. Well if you are, the answer is not everyone can do photoshop, so here is a slightly different contest. Last year's finalists  can be viewed here (http://www.rfgeneration.com/forum/index.php?topic=3078.0) and the first contest's finalists are seen here (http://www.rfgeneration.com/forum/index.php?topic=1730.0).

Starting today, April 28, 2007, the third contest at RF Generation is officially open.  Should you win, you will be the lucky recipient of a magazine subscription** and a game of your choice.***

The theme of this contest is "Show Us You Love RF Generation". The objective is to submit something that shows how much you love RF Generation.  This submission can be pretty much anything, but needs to be safe for work. As to what it is, that is for you to decide. Songs, Photoshops, Stories, Posters, Clothing Designs, etc... what ever you think will get you the win is acceptable. Just shoot to win, and you won't have to worry about what you should submit.

Your entry can be funny, serious, heartbreaking, or if you are as monotone as myself, you could make it black and white.  Just be creative and have FUN.  Besides, there's FREE STUFF.

Final entries should be e-mailed as an attachment to dmurnan@rfgeneration.com by June 1, 2007, at 12:00 AM EASTERN DAYLIGHT (UTC-4).  That means the night of May 31th.  You'll have to do conversions to your time zone on your own.  Be sure to include your board username and a title for your entry in your e-mail. You may enter as many times as you like, however only one image from each member can be a finalist.  You may also post your entries AS ATTACHMENTS in this thread.  Again, post a title for each entry.  In order to be considered for the contest, your entry must be either A.) e-mailed to dmurnan@rfgeneration.com or B.) posted in this thread as an attachment.  Images hosted on other sites will not be considered.  Staff and user submissions are both acceptable, but staff members are not elligible to win unless less than 5 people make a submission.  It'll just be more fun if we get more entries.

On June 1st or 2nd, the staff will privately select five finalists.*****  We will then open a public poll on the boards containing each of the five finalist images, along with corresponding usernames and titles.  You, the members of the board, and us, the staff of RF Generation, will then vote on a winner.  After one week, the person who receives the most votes will be declared the winner and arrangements for the prize will be made.****

IT BEGINS NOW!

*Cake not supplied by RF Generation, though its staff and contributers will help you eat it.
**Subcription for one year only, not to exceed US$25. Subscription must be for a gaming magazine.
***This offer stands for U.S. and Canadian entries only.  Worldwide entries are welcome, and should a worldwide entry win, we will try in every way to get that person a fabulous and wonderful prize chosen especially for them. The price of the game is not to exceed $40 dollars.
****In the unlikely event of a tie, a runoff vote will occur. The entries involved in the tie will be voted on again, and hopefully after the second round of voting we will have a winner. If there still is not a winner, we will use a random number generator to determine the winner, after all, we are not the Vatican and we do not want the voting process to go on for months.
*****RF Generation reserves the right to not select any finalists if it is clear that a submission is made just to be a singlular entry, which would guarantee a win.

Is this topic also the discussion topic or is it entries-only?
I gotta come up with something.

It's both.

im not gonna brag but i think ive come up with the best submission possible. you will have to wait and see til i enter it. but i assure you it will be cool.

If it is the one he told me it will indeed be awesome!

oh yeah. its the one i told you.

Ah, but you don't know what MY submission idea is. ;)
I better get to work on it. :O

No one knows what my idea is. Not even me.  :ninja:

A couple of years ago I could have easily whipped something up in photoshop but I've lost all my creativity recently.

Get working on it then man!

does stuff count as a gaming magazine?

Here is my first entry.

I like it! Great job. YOU'RE WINNER!

Thanks, but I need others to enter this contest too.


So if you are reading this post you need to start working on your contest entry. You have until the night of May 31th. So go do that now.

You Don't Have to worry about that clause, that was intended in case someone at the end submitted a blank entry.

Sweet.

That having been said, we do hope more than one person enters a submission.  It would be kinda pathetic if unforgivingpain is the only person who enters.  :)

But he would get some nice swag, though more than one submission would make for a spirited competition.

I agree it would be pathetic if I'm the only person who enters. Everyone who is active on this site should enter something.

Hey, you should keep quiet, you are guaranteed to win swag if no one else submits anything.

I keep meaning to do something for this but then I remember I'm not creative. I do have something in mind but I can't think of what to do beyond it.

Here is my second entry, an ungraded version of my first.  :P

That's because it stupid photoshopping shit and shit.  Shit man, damn photoshopping shit.  Shit and shit!

It doesn't have to be Photoshopping as you put it. Take a picture, right a story or do anything!

I wasn't trying to upset anyone. I did all of my work with MS Paint.

I has a idea!

*sneaky sneaky*

 ;D

I'll have to do it tomorrow because it's a bit late in the day now.

damn this is getting close to the end. i better get my ass to work and get mine done. im too lazy. the idea of mine is there its just the energy thats not there. maybe i'll come up with something different then i originally planned.

here is what i WAS going to do but i dont have the time to do it but i guess its the thought that counts. i was going to tattoo rf generation somewhere on my body. really the matter of not doing it came down to available skin. i have over 150 tats and my skin availability is not much. i'll come up with some sort of entry though.

Photoshopping, MS Paint.  It's all the same using picture thingies to alter picture thingies.

here is my entry. i know its dumb but i dont see anyone else but unforgivingpain doing any entries.

I'm glad to see someone else participating and showing some love for RF Generation.

this just came to me and i think its an awesome concept. maybe even an ad for rf generation.

Nice ones dreamcaster.

Isn't it annoying when you come up with what seems like a good idea then it finishes up being a bit lame? :-\

Nothing lame about that.

no idea is bad. come on look at my first entry. it sounded cool at first but now that i look at it its kinda dumb. now my second entry i like. but at least now its not just going to be between me and unforgivingpain. COME ON PEOPLE!!! MAKE THIS CONTEST AT LEAST A LITTLE MORE ACTIVE.

How many entries are we allowed to have? I have one or two ideas.

You may enter as many times as you like, however only one image from each member can be a finalist.

Alright. I've got to locate something, and then I'll be able to do my awesome entry.

how do i keep coming up with these?

Thats funny!

Shit. I'm doomed. :(

Come on man!

I'll take the pictures for it tonight.

Sweet, this is no longer a one horse race. Keep them coming guys!

i was thinking the exact same thing. scrolled down and there it was. lol.

thanks.

and they say marijuana is bad for you.

Were you high when you made that one?

dude i smoke all day. i have severe anxiety and its the only thing that keeps me from freakin out. im trying to get on medical. dont drink, dont do nothin else. hate pills, didnt even take my vicoden when i had surgery last year. didnt even fill the scripts.

Your submisions were definitly interesting to say the least.  Dont sweat it man, atleast your providing some competition.  Enough that even I'd want to submit something if I wasnt staff.  Heck, I'm tempted to even if I cant win anything just to see what I could throw together.

do it. i was having fun with it. i really dont care if i win or not.

Well, here's my fun.  I couldnt find a decent enough font for it though.

thanks for your entry fuyukaze.

Here is another entry...

They keep getting better UNFORGIVINGPAIN.

niice. playin the pu$$y card. the power glove never looked so gooood.

i wonder what antimind would think of this, seeing shes like the only girl member (at least active girl member).

She would say that chic is hot......or is that just what I am thinking.

Heck yeah. I think she would say that too! She is smokin'!

I already got my idea, I just need to do it now. I should post it by the end of this weekend.

Your right.

Alright, here is my brilliant idea. I took a few pictures with different facial expressions, and this one turned out the best so I decided to use it. I am still laughing as we speak, hopefully you guys will get a kick out of it.

thanks for the submission.
nice shirt.
this is going to turn out to be a good contest afterall.
keep the submissions coming.

NICE! I have yet to do mine...

Yeah I got that shirt on thinkgeek.com for $10. I also got a shirt that says "I Hate Jack Thompson" for $10 as well.

I finally finished mine.  I've been working on it since the day the contest was announced.

It was originally going to be all beer cans (Miller Lite for the silver parts and Miller High Life for the gold parts) but I just couldn't drink quick enough, so I had to use some pop cans too.
I just hope what it says is as obvious to everyone else as it is to me :laugh:  You wouldn't believe how hard it is to make letters out of cans. 


And my second entry: I actually did this the day the contest was announced and I e-mailed it to the e-mail given in the first post, but I guess it didn't go through.  Anyway, here it is.

It would have gone good with "Pretty Generation." 

Hmm... Outlook banished your email to Junk Email. Apparently, it didn't like your yahoo name.

thats cool. how do you have the cans supported together?
kinda good that thats not all beer cans. that would be a lot of alcohol.

They WERE glued, but as I read your message, they all just fell over for no apparent reason.  So it's in about 20 chunks of cans. 
It's about half beer cans, I probably could have all beer cans but my parents wouldn't quit crushing them, I had to take them off of them as soon as they finished.

Awesome work on the RFG can stack.

well its good you got a picture before it collapsed.

Yeah, that would have sucked if it fell over before you got a picture.

I pieced it back together, but it fell apart again after that.  Now it's sitting in the recycle bin :laugh:
It was starting to smell like stale beer anyway. 

This is my final submission. notice the gigantic turbo express compared to my 2 y.o. daughter, sistina.

heres my submission. its a psp background

Here's my (first) submission...I would have made an animated gif, but dang, it would have taken a long time.

But who cares about those systems? It's 2007 for God's sake! Get over it.

But they are classics and should be preserved and enjoyed by current generations. Though I can see your point...

I'm glad you agree with me, Mr. Wright.

[img width=65 height=169]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v221/Tondog/Wright%20Animations/ani-maya-side.gif[/img]
Come on Nick, you can't let Edgeworth win like that. Remember RF Generation?

Phoenix: You're right Maya!

I've been there. They are all about old games. Of course they'll be biased towards them.

THEY ARE SIMPLY FANS OF VIDEO GAMES!

[img width=185 height=151]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v221/Tondog/Wright%20Animations/ani-edgeworth-down.gif[/img]
WHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!! HOW CAN THAT BE?! They are named RF Generation

[img width=132 height=142]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v221/Tondog/Wright%20Animations/ani-phoenix-thoughtful.gif[/img]
How can I prove that they are not only about classic video games...

Your honor, will you please read this text from the upper right corner of RF Generation's site to the court?

[img width=118 height=96]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v221/Tondog/Wright%20Animations/ani-judge-up.gif[/img]
It says "The Classic and Modern Video Games Database"

[img width=152 height=143]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v221/Tondog/Wright%20Animations/ani-phoenix-bravado.gif[/img]
Your honor, this can only prove one thing...

[img width=180 height=188]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v221/Tondog/Wright%20Animations/ani-phoenix-zoom.gif[/img]
That RF Generation is not just about old games!

[img width=118 height=95]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v221/Tondog/Wright%20Animations/ani-judge.gif[/img]
Quite right, Mr. Wright. Mr. Edgeworth, do you have an explanation for this?

[img width=185 height=151]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v221/Tondog/Wright%20Animations/ani-edgeworth-down.gif[/img]
It's just there to make them look good?

[img width=118 height=96]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v221/Tondog/Wright%20Animations/ani-judge-shakes.gif[/img]
[img width=118 height=95]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v221/Tondog/Wright%20Animations/ani-judge.gif[/img]
Since you have no explanation for this, I find the defendant...

Here is my third and final version of this for the contest. I had to update some avatars.

Here's my 2nd entry.

Fixed...

I used the top 100 games at RFG, the bottom 25, a bunch of console pictures, some company logos, and some other games I like. I used around 200 pictures in that mosaic, so get looking! Chances are your favorite game is in there.

Nice work fellas!

damn thats nice tondog. how long did that take you?
less then 12 hours left..............

Like 2 or 3 hours probably.

Thanks for the submissions guys! We'll be deciding upon finalists in the next few days.

Awesome work everybody!

This will be hard to choose the winner.
