Funny Screenshots

Jerr Conner · 02-23-2004, 12:33 AM

The idea is you take a few screenshots in BG and BGII (SOA preferably for this forum, add a ToB Spoiler Tag before posting and the same for BG), and add some funny dialogue. Make a short comic in a sense. All screenshots will be posted here in this thread, and please keep it at least PG-13, or Low Rated R.

For example, if I still had the screenshot I took (Lost it in a computer crash), it'd be in the contest. Basically, while in a Beholder Lair, Anomen fell under a Hold spell while killing a Gauth. He was bent over a little, and my Elven Mage Anandir was behind him with a spear staff, and the caption said:

"Don't worry Anomen, this colonic will clear out your system soon enough. Now hold still, this may pinch a little..."

Rules:

1: G through PG-13 screenshots only.

2: Each entry must have a title.

4: No animated GIFs, though if this is popular enough I'll hold a seperate one specifically for animated GIFs.

If you don't have a capture program, one can be downloaded for free here:

Also, if your Paintbrush Program supports JPEGs and GIFs, you can push the Print Screen button on your keyboard and then paste the shot in Paintbrush. (Someone might be able to explain that better than I, lol!)

Need a place to host them?

Contest officially ended on May 1st, 2004. Continue posting screenshots though.

So in other words, it's a caption contest?

Jerr Conner · 02-23-2004, 09:03 AM

Yes, technically.

Can we start now>? [img]smile.gif[/img] ????

Daniel_M · 02-24-2004, 05:59 PM

Hehe, this look pretty great, do we post the pictures in this thread?

[Edit] Oh and how many can we post each?

Yes, I guess the contest starts now (But ends on the original end date).

We post pictures in this thread, as for how many, one entry.

One entry meaning this, you can post 8 pictures as long as they continue one storyline together. So no posting of several different pictures.

Woah, never saw this thread. Looks like a good idea. I might get in on it

Jerr Conner · 03-11-2004, 05:45 PM

Ok.

Jerr Conner · 03-11-2004, 11:52 PM

I changed my mind, I'm entering an entry:

Drunken Edwin

Pictured above:

Jerr, Minsc, Jaheira, Nalia, Yoshimo, and Edwin.
