Contest: Your Finest Screenshot
by Aaron Linde, Feb 28, 2008 1:42pm PST
style="border: medium none ;">One of the best things about video games? Having that perfect moment, and having the foresight to preserve it with a screenshot for all time.
Was it a great kill? Were you that great kill? Did you find a way to make a physics engine beautifully break a game? Well, we appreciate that kind of thing too, and we're framing this contest around such moments of serenity.
Take your own notable screenshot and post it to the comments below. The only editing that should be resizing and/or cropping for presentational purposes--please make no adjustments that change the actual image content. If you need hosting, check out Easy Screens or ImageShack
And hey, let's toss out some prizes for this, courtesy of Take 2 and Fileshack. Vote on your favorite screenshots with a reply. The top three winners will get a ladies medium Bioshock hearts Threadless tee, a Bioshock EP soundtrack, and a month of Mercury service from Fileshack. Submissions will be accepted until 11:59 PM CST on Monday, March 3rd. Good luck!

These.. This only ever happened once, it was truly chilling in motion and very difficult to describe. All the shells of the model lost connection to the animation's skeleton.. Moving forward caused the character to run left while his legs twisted in corkscrew shapes, for example. Be freaked, it's not nice when it's your long-term character in an MMO!

Anyone else ever play this? The one MMORPG that ever had the balls to be adult, violent, and offer freedom of combat.. And it resulted in a gameworld where people actually feared and respected one another. That's what every nice, friendly, PVP-protected MMO fails to achieve.

Here are some "suck shit, asshole!" moments. One's where your killer gets fucked up just after he's done you over.
