[Contest Ends Aug 31st]
Alright, its been far too long since Ive given something away. This time there will be prizes for three people. First place gets a set of Star Fox As’sualt’ and ‘Peppy’ shakers, plus a game of their choice. Second and third winners pick a game of their choice in their respective order.
So heres what we are going to do. Since I enjoyed the last Giveaway so much, Im going to make you guys work for it again.
Nintendo had an ad campaign called ‘Who Are You?’ that I thought was pretty nice. The general concept was that the person became the actual character while playing the game. Below is a scan of the ad for Metroid Fusion. There are others out there, I just cant seem to find them right this second.
Full Metroid Fusion Ad
Princess Peach Ad
Mario Statue Ad
In order to enter the contest, you must submit a picture of yourself with part of a video game character attached to you. Like Samus’s arm cannon in the example above. Or a picture of you wearing Mario’s cap. You get the idea. It can either be two picture pasted together or if you wanted, you could actual make a Mario cap and wear it in a picture.
Again, one entry per person. This is open to anyone in the world, but I have to make a little change from last time. If you live outside of the US, we will have to work out some kind of shipping cost breakdown. Last time I shipped two shirts to England and it cost me $50. Ouch.
The games up for grabs are: Megaman X: Command Mission, Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorrow, PuyoPop Fever, Resident Evil Zero, and Pokemon Colosseum.
So, get to work. You have about a month! Once again, many many thanks to the Mysterious Benefactor!
Submit your entries either in this thread with links to the pics (imageshack or something) or just email them to me at nick[at]4colorrebellion.com. Ill update this page to contain all of the entries.

:P
sectumsempra - 08.09.05 2:10 pm
Interesting. We can use a program like Photoshop as well, I’m assuming?
Are the available games for prizes the ones that you have in the picture up there?
Contests are awesome, 4cr continues to rock!
Daedalus - 08.09.05 2:10 pm
Yeah, Im guessing most people will use Photoshop. At least thats what I had intended. And yeah, those 5 games are the ones to choose from.
Nick - 08.09.05 2:13 pm
Nick, be sure to leave some contact info to submit the entries.
Either the forums or by email.
Kreven - 08.09.05 2:16 pm
Can I win?
DynamicStability - 08.09.05 2:17 pm
AAARRRGGG MATEY!!! DONT BE THINKIN OF STEALIN ME BOOTY YOU LILLY LIVERED LAND LOVERS!!
octorok - 08.09.05 2:17 pm
Yeah Matt, you can enter too. Open to anyone.
Nick - 08.09.05 2:19 pm
Will people whoo photoshop their photos have a better chance of winning, over us who just tape something onto our pic?
Master_Shake - 08.09.05 2:27 pm
No no no. It doesnt matter how you do it. Photoshop, tape, glue, mspaint, I dont care.
Nick - 08.09.05 2:31 pm
Okay, I’m seriously gonna enter this contest. I’ve been in dire need of new games.
Have I mentioned how pretty you look Nick? You’re so cool, I’ve always thought that. What? Sucking up? Noooo.
hokku - 08.09.05 2:49 pm
HOLY CRAP, I GOT A KICKASS IDEA!
Nick, If I won, how much would I have to pay to get it to England? On Ebay US, they normally charge $5 postage.
Bacon - 08.09.05 3:29 pm
if it’s only the game, it shouldn’t be more than 5$ cause those box fit in regular mail slots
CoffeeMan - 08.09.05 3:37 pm
Im not sure about the shipping costs, but Ill try to make it as low as possible. Im gonna swing by the post office and ups and just see what my cheapest options are. Im not sure what I did last time, but it was way too much.
If it ends up that it only cost about $5-$10 Ill just eat that cost. I dont want to end up charging people more for shipping than the game is worth.
Nick - 08.09.05 3:52 pm
The “Aaron H” one is mine. Ya, I look really bad, I’m stuck home with the flu!
ERon - 08.09.05 4:34 pm
nick, when me and moggy traded DS game it only cost 5$ shipping, you just have to make sure it fits in regular mailbox slots… the kind that are in the door with the flapper, where the dog pisses on your mail on the other side…
CoffeeMan - 08.09.05 4:50 pm
Haha, I love yours, Bacon. Clever and looks very professional. You win in my book.
Pikachelsea - 08.09.05 8:56 pm

eric - 08.09.05 11:16 pm
We have some pretty good competition, hoping to get mine done tomorrow
CoffeeMan - 08.09.05 11:47 pm
Cool contest, Nick. Just one question: When does the contest end?
Baago - 08.10.05 1:45 am
Very nice work, Anzanar, although you mispelled “heroes” :S
Pikachelsea - 08.10.05 3:35 am
I’m liking Lise’s hot Tomb Raider one.
Bacon - 08.10.05 4:03 am
I really liked the Who are you? campaign. I thought it was one of the best that Nintendo’s put out in years.
namor7 - 08.10.05 5:48 am
lol, nice one rogultgot!
CoffeeMan - 08.10.05 8:56 am
Shot by Samus… Ouch!!
octorok - 08.10.05 4:59 pm
He thats a funny one.
Nintendofreak - 08.10.05 7:58 pm

Invader Bugs - 08.10.05 9:24 pm
Anzanar’s is totally my favorite right now. Very well done and most faithful to the original style
Thores - 08.11.05 12:22 am
Any comments on mine?
DarthButcher - 08.11.05 3:31 am

Nintendofreak - 08.11.05 8:22 am
I had a fun time doing mine. I hope you all enjoy!
SavageS - 08.11.05 11:12 pm
Thanks, Thores!
Anzanar - 08.12.05 9:23 am
One question, do we HAVE to be in it? Or can we turn other things into Nitendo stuff?
BW64 - 08.12.05 10:33 am
You have to be in it. Whats the fun/point otherwise?
Nick - 08.12.05 10:54 am
I’m the guy in the picture, by the way. The girl is my sister.
BW64 - 08.12.05 12:39 pm
Bw64 that looks sweet, nice job
CoffeeMan - 08.12.05 1:45 pm
Bw64 -

octorok - 08.12.05 2:24 pm
come on people, we need more entries!
CoffeeMan - 08.13.05 1:12 pm
I might make a different entry, I look like a dork.
Rogultgot - 08.13.05 2:14 pm
Rogultgot:
Wasn’t that what you were aiming for?
;)
Anzanar - 08.13.05 5:42 pm
Ive added all the pics I have recieved. If you posted a link here it the comments, I deleted it to help myself keep things organized.
Nick - 08.13.05 7:32 pm
oh sorry about that I thought u didnt put mine up because katamari wasnt nintendo discard the luigi one
Master_Shake - 08.13.05 7:46 pm
Next to that ridiculously cool one by heroLink(:P), I really like the meteos one.
Alex Dupre - 08.13.05 7:57 pm
I made mine a while ago. It’s not me in the picture though, it’s a friend of mine.
Power Gamer 6 - 08.19.05 2:53 am
I like the Fire Emblem one. It’s well done.
Garo - 08.20.05 8:24 pm
I made a yoshi one, but I THEN realized that I had to be in it
. Its really good(in my opinion) and maybe Nick could put it up after
Alex Dupre - 08.20.05 10:14 pm
…Can anyone tell that thats my head in a Dark Samus suit, or does it just look like a big blob..??
octorok - 08.20.05 11:44 pm
Octorok: I’d say it’s fairly obvious that it’s the armor.
Anzanar - 08.21.05 1:14 am
I guess I’ll join in. Worth a shot. Check it out my fellow friends.
VideoGamerJ - 08.21.05 1:44 am
All you guys and gals are great.
Cool entries. I just sent mine in Nick. Its pretty funny.
I hope you all enjoy it.
Good luck to all of you.
PitaMan - 08.21.05 1:48 pm
where do you guys get that little tape effect?
Alex Dupre - 08.21.05 4:45 pm
effect? it’s just photoshop.
Anzanar - 08.21.05 5:05 pm
Tape.
New Layer > Make a rectangular selection with the marquee selection tool > fill with white > deselect > Change the Tape’s Layer mode to screen > bring the opacity down a bit > Give it a subtle drop shadow layer effect.
You can keep playing with it more if you want. Thats just a quick way of doing it.
PitaMan - 08.21.05 6:39 pm
OOHhhhh. I had to actually do this in paint! I need photoshop so bad!!!!!!
Alex Dupre - 08.22.05 1:23 am
Wow, some good stuff. CoffeMan’s, Octorok’s, Cano, VideoGamerJ [haha, that one’s funny]…My favorite is probably BW64’s. And…wait, is that a lemon on that boy’s crotch? WTF?
Kammo - 08.22.05 6:14 pm
If any of you guys want my pic as a higher-res wallpaper, just shoot me an email at tobalt(at)comcast.net
Cano - 08.22.05 9:31 pm
Submission Submitted!
I use Gimp 2.0 as an alternative to Photoshop. The best part about it is that it’s free, and very easy to use. Do a Google search for “Gimp”.
Nick Butler - 08.23.05 10:55 am
Wait, wait, when does this end?
Bacon - 08.26.05 4:59 am
Aug 31.
4ndy - 08.26.05 12:32 pm
Can someone tell me how to do the scotch-tape effect?
JFK90787 formerly James K - 08.26.05 2:44 pm
NVM I should’ve read everything
JFK90787 formerly James K - 08.26.05 2:52 pm

It’s me when I was 12
JFK90787 formerly James K - 08.26.05 3:16 pm
i Like the donkey kong one. I think its the most Apropriate lol
Mana Beholder - 08.26.05 3:55 pm
Here’s mine .. .
I did two versions, howver the JPEG has a higher quality than the GIF:
Static JPEG
Animated GIF
Nice, huh?
This took a lot of work .. .
Finally, I’d like to thank the Spriter’s Resource for the Mario, Kirby, and SMB3 sprites!
btnheazy03 - 08.27.05 9:12 am
Also, I wish I had a better picture to use for the composite, but alas, I do not, so I’ll have to apologize for the poor quality .. .
Even worse is that the picture was taken in the dark, and with a webcam at that, so .. :|
See for yourself
btnheazy03 - 08.27.05 9:16 am
I forgot to mention the most important one of them all: THE GNU IMAGE MANIPULATION PROGRAM 2.0!!
I use this nice F/OSS app for most of my editing tasks and projects, so go HERE NOW!!
btnheazy03 - 08.27.05 9:22 am
Even though I e-mailed mine in, I figured I’d post it here too. Yay.
http://www.snigle.net/doppleboppler/who_are_you.bmp
Yay for men in dresses.
Dopple Boppler - 08.27.05 11:14 am
The .GIF hotlink seems to have suddenly died, so I rehosted with Imageshack HERE
btnheazy03 - 08.27.05 2:31 pm
Only a couple more days guys!
Bacon - 08.29.05 3:56 pm
Most of these are pretty awesome. Original ideas, great execution… You guys should have a pretty difficult time choosing a winner.
I would enter, but I suck.
Volt - 08.29.05 5:05 pm
I hope I win this race!
