On Wednesday Shawn announced a contest, where fans of Chainmail Bikini can try to re-create CB characters and situations in the videogame of their choice and send in the screenshots.
Just to kick things off, Shawn posted an example, which I believe came from Blizzard’s Twenty Dollar Bill Printing Press World of Warcraft.
Ramgar. Naked Ramgar. From World of Warcraft. |
The bar has been set. It has not been set particularly high. Surely you can do better than this. Please do enter. If nobody else enters, Shawn will end up winning with his entry above. In which case he’ll have to present himself with his own artwork, signed by himself, which is sure to be an awkward situation for everyone. See the full list of prizes, rules, and qualifiers on the announcement page.
Who Broke the In-Game Economy?
Why are RPG economies so bad? Why are shopkeepers so mercenary, why are the prices so crazy, and why do you always end up a gazillionaire by the end of the game? Can't we just have a sensible balanced economy?
Games and the Fear of Death
Why killing you might be the least scary thing a game can do.
Starcraft: Bot Fight
Let's do some scripting to make the Starcraft AI fight itself, and see how smart it is. Or isn't.
Could Have Been Great
Here are four games that could have been much better with just a little more work.
The Strange Evolution of OpenGL
Sometimes software is engineered. Sometimes it grows organically. And sometimes it's thrown together seemingly at random over two decades.
Wish I could see the picture.. and I wish my message did not hit that stupid wall.. but dems da breaks from posting form work.

This made me laugh. :-)
can we use this?? http://www.ugo.com/channels/comics/heromachine2/heroMachine2.asp
I suppose not.. as it’s not a video game.. but pretty kewl and as appropriate a topic for me to share it.
Dang! If that’s poor Ramgar naked, then he needs a good lawyer to go after the surgeon who did the sex change operation! Maybe Gloria Allred…
:-)
Where’d Ramgar go??
Just when I was thinking I couldn’t enter (for lack of video game), I realized I could do something with NWN 1. Then I saw somebody already entered with NWN, and did lots better than I could.
I just want it to be clear that my Dwarf Hunter has had a boar named Ramgar for some months now, as an homage. :)
