Sweepstakes and other free things
« on: July 02, 2006, 09:15:41 AM »
I see loads of these, so I guess we could make a thread in the hopes that a TWGer wins something nice?

Win: Nice pc
To do: enter name and address. Need to be USA resident (*shakes fist*). Nothing else afaik.

Ok, so PA is having a contest and I figured I'd post it here.

http://www.penny-arcade.com/dmmachinima/index.php

Now, I would like to enter this contest but I will need someone with some artistic abilities/photoshop abilities, to help create whatever I may come up with. I would appreciate  and will discuss further details with said volunteer.

It doesn't seem like you need much photoshop ability to do that--it's all screen-shots by requirement.  If you sent me screen shots I could crop them for you in the way you want without much problems at all.  Give me a PM or AIM me on RingTLemur if you think you need some help doing that, I'm glad to help.
