[Vengeance]

[TwilightMystics]

no, but I can change it.... if it's not fair.

[alldreamsfalldown]

Let's Get it on!

I know I'm Gonna lose!

That's what I was thinking. :)

[BlazeTK]

Hmm I hope I can win! :D I'll try my best but only problem is that my internet session is almost over and I don't get internet until about 3 days from today. This means my box might come in later but surely before 5th August!

[Moogle]

Hm? Im not facing anybody? xD

[StyIe]

Ummm a PS3 Exclusive!? OMG nooooo I had something completely different errrrr im gon' a kill ya.

[Ayron]

hmmm. i can't think of a ps3 exclusive this fast,can anyone tell me some?

p.s. 'crusader' lol? why are you in the newbee comp o.o'?

[StyIe]

Cuz i sucz. And I was bored. Not really bored. Just felt like it. Now get offa me caso la pleaso ok'o?

[ELCrazy]

Oh shitbags.

LOL.

[StyIe]

Anyone got a description for White Knight Story?

[alldreamsfalldown]

gyaaarrgghh!! Exclusives are hard!!

[ELCrazy]

I'm already starting on mine.

Yipee!! :D:D

[Ayron]

same elcrazy..
i think mine is the best i made up to now ^^

[Ervo]

My work is almost ready but i think that i'm going to lose ><.

Oh yeah, do i have to edit screenshots too?

[Nerdysimmer]

Aw, man. They're all so hard to do. I Had to scrap 2 games just because they have very few art! :(

[alldreamsfalldown]

I had the same problem. I think i finally have something good giong now though :D

[LoveKuja]

PS3 exclusive, only one game pops up to mind. Well, I have started mine. it is about 1/3 done, or so. Hopefully I don't screw up with the back cover, quick glance at my profile to see that I have made none.

[Ayron]

if i've already pm-ed or mailed you my box, can i submit it to the main-site?

[ELCrazy]

YOU ALREADY FINISHED?!!??!?


:eek::eek:

[Ervo]

Got mine ready. I'd ask same question that Ayron asked. I'm sending it to you right about now.

[Ayron]

ofcourse i've finished.
and i personally like it ^^'

[Ervo]

ofcourse i've finished.
and i personally like it ^^'

I like mine too and i hope ya'll will like that one :D Where did you upload your picture btw? Photobucket is offline for maintenance so i can't upload there. Maybe i should just wait :P

[Ayron]

i just mailed it.^^

[ELCrazy]

Yay!

Putting the finishing touches.....

EDIT: FINISHED! Sending it now....

[ELCrazy]

One thing I'm worried is that whether Striker would actually submit a box, since he did not post squat in this topic.

[Nerdysimmer]

I'm almost done with mine. But I'll probably submit it the day before August 5th, just to find any flaw in it.

[Ervo]

I'm glad i didn't send mine yet. I'm making a new one because some people i showed it to said it sucks. I'll add that box later to the site.

[TwilightMystics]

Erhm some of you guys are quick, jeezz!

[Ayron]

Ghehe ^^.
did you receive mine?

also, can we post it onto the main site when we've sent it to you?

[Nerdysimmer]

GodDarnit! (lol) I messed up my boxart, AGAIN!!!! I forgot to save last night!! :mad:

I don't know about the cat, Clark, but I wouldn't finalize your work right now. We still have five days left. We could be using this time to actually make your boxarts look even better! If you want to submit them right now, nobody's stopping you - but I'm saying: take your time on these. And don't wait till the last minute to do this! It's like School Summer Reading, only more fun.

By the way, Do we have to edit the screenshots as well as the rest of the images? Cause right now, I'm having a really difficult time editing my logo, because the texture I put on it made it look blurry.

And does altering the brightness and contrast an image count as editing an image? Kthnx.

mmmm, send me then I can judge it by the looks of it, okay;)

[Nerdysimmer]

I'm really liking the front of my boxart. If I keep this up, it may be my best effort yet. The logo took fuggin forever!

[alldreamsfalldown]

I haven't started yet. I'm still conceptualizing.

[Ayron]

ah k.
good luck everyone!

[BlazeTK]

So much for the "I might be late to submit a boxart". Only you guys said your done! :p I finished maybe an hour ago, all in just a few hours lol.

EDIT: A question - if we already sent our boxart but August 5th hasn't come yet, are we allowed to edit the box and send you the edited one to replace the old one?

You can before the the deadline. But say that with the PM or e-mail, than I know if you want to change it...

[Nerdysimmer]

Alright, I'm going to be leaving the competition after this round is over. Even if i win this round, I'm not in a competitive mood to continue throughout the competition. I really enjoyed making my box though.

However, I'm still in the competition right now, so I'm still going to submit my boxart maybe in a few days.

Edit: Nevermind what i've said. I've ran outta ideas for my boxarts! I'm still in!

[Ervo]

Yahoo! I made something i like. I hope it's good enough to win :)
Even if i lose, i'll make boxes that follows the rules of this competition and post it to the main site :)

[Nerdysimmer]

Actually, I'll be doing that as well! :)

[Ervo]

Twilightmystics, did you get my box? I sended it yesterday?

[alldreamsfalldown]

Is everybody done? If so, shall we move things forward now and not wait till Sunday?

[Nerdysimmer]

I'm not done. My sister is taking her time on my computer.

[ELCrazy]

But if it's your computer, shouldn't you have the authority to kick her out of the chair? Or does she whine? :p

[Nerdysimmer]

But if it's your computer, shouldn't you have the authority to kick her out of the chair? Or does she whine? :p

It's actually not mine, It's actually my parents, even though they hardly use it and use their laptop for work. I mostly use it because I've installed a crapload of games including Quake III, Neverwinter Nights, Serious Sam: the Second Encounter, and The Sims 2. It's also the only computer in our house that has Adobe Photoshop CS3 installed.

My sister use the godforsaken computer to watch videos on youtube (which you can also do on the Nintendo Wii), Draw crap using paint, and chat online. And if you're thinking about asking, no. My parents won't allow neither of us to use the laptop to do crap. So I'm stuck with the Wii, posting in this fourm, waiting for my sister to get off, and on occasion play some games. Even if I kick her off, she start whining about it and tells our parents to kick me off. :mad:

For Some reason, because my sister is on too much, I'm still not finished with the back of my boxart, and i barely started on it. All there is are only developer logos, ESRB warning, and the barcode. I just hope i can finish it before my sister starts acting up again...

Edit: Finally got on! I gotta make My boxart quickly and accurately!

[Moogle]

Im not done either. I have to make sure its good. xD

[Roboross]

Yeah, i'm deff. not done.
I just started today:/
I had to move so i just got internet up again/

I look forward to seeing your box. :)

[Nerdysimmer]

I've Finished my front, and now I'm starting on the back.
Hopefully, my sister has done her time.

[Nerdysimmer]

WOOHOO!! I'm finally done! I'm sending right now!
THAT is the LAST TIME I'm ever going to stay up for a night! I feel horrible. G'night....

[Ervo]

Yo TwilightMystics! I sended an updated version of the box to your PM. I hope it's okay?

[Roboross]

DAMNDAMNDAMNDAMN,
ahhh.
Im an idiot. For some reason i thought HAZE was a PS3 exclusive so i just wasted all my time on that box. I'm gonna try to make another box with the 11 hours i have left:/

[alldreamsfalldown]

I nearly made that same mistake too.

[Nerdysimmer]

I sent my work via email to you, TwilightMystics. Good thing I've finished today!

Now off for some beauty sleep...

[Roboross]

I think im going to drop out.
I dont want to rush and make horrible box.
I wouldn't be very happy about that.
So i guess i'm dropping out.

[alldreamsfalldown]

Dude that sucks. Well if you do drop out that will even out the numbers.

[BlazeTK]

Then who will I be against??

[Moogle]

I just sent mine in. Hopefully its good enough. =D

[Roboross]

Thanks to Twilight for being very nice.
I'm back in the competition!!!
:D

[Ratchetcomand]

you do know that StyIe is Crusader who is KingdomGIMP, right?

How do you know that ?

[Ervo]

Whee. I'm not in a triple threat anymore :) More chances to win you know ;D

EDIT: NOOOO!!!!!!!!!!! I FORGOT TO CHANGE THE ESRB RATING ON THE BACK! DAMN!
I hope you don't mind that :'(

[Roboross]

[Ervo]

[Dark_Shadow]

[Roboross]

So when does the next round start!?

[Dark_Shadow]

My computer has some problem so I won't be able to submit my box.. :confused: sorry :( I'll post it tomorrow if my computer is okay to do this.
maybe I'll be able to do a competition one day btw ayron if you want to keep this box you made maybe we could make a competition just with the box you have and the one I made ;)

[Ayron]

well yeah dark, we might ;)

But i would prefer just to face you in the competition.

[ELCrazy]

I got an E-mail from StRiKeR.. he told me that he was not at home and he'll be back only tomorrow so he'll post his box tomorrow:p. He's box is mostly finished but it only need some little things to change.

Hehe...my opponent is finishing.

But, I really would like the next match to start.

[alldreamsfalldown]

Why can't it? It's not like we're all having computer problems.

[Nerdysimmer]

But, I really would like the next match to start.

So do i, well possibly everyone wants the next round to start!

[Lenny819]

i originoly said i was in but i quickly edited it because i was scared of the challenge lol

[Ayron]

so...
start the next matches anyone?

[Roboross]

so...
start the next matches anyone?

Yes, Please..

[Ervo]

Maybe he should post all of the matches when he comes back here?

[Ayron]

well. we're all waiting.
he should come back NOW. it's 17:42 where tm lives..
so it's possible for him to come online o.o

[dmshaposv]

I'm really looking forward to the other matches and competition boxes. I hope Twilight posts all the matches at once.

[Ervo]

I'm really looking forward to the other matches and competition boxes. I hope Twilight posts all the matches at once.

Yeah, me too. I hope he posts all of them today...

[Ayron]

he's working on the rounds right now, so just be patient.

[Roboross]

Are we aloud to vote for our competitors.
Like even though im going against AllDreamsFallDown and Nerdysimmer, if i wanted to, could i vote for one of there boxes?

[Roboross]

well if you're not answering im going to go vote anyways.

[Ayron]

just vote.
he'll count if you're allowed and vice versa.

[TwilightMystics]

just vote.
he'll count if you're allowed and vice versa.

no, you may not, it wasn't allowed in previous contest, and now too. And Ayron, the last time when I looked it was me that was the hoster of the contest not you.

[Ayron]

no, you may not, it wasn't allowed in previous contest, and now too. And Ayron, the last time when I looked it was me that was the hoster of the contest not you.

o.o'
do you think i'm trying to take over or anything?
i was just pointing out that if he wants te vote, he can, but that its up to you to decide wether to count the vote or not.

[alldreamsfalldown]

A thought occours.

If the voting ends at the end of the day, when will this be? Since we are all from different time zones.

[Nerdysimmer]

good point...

[alldreamsfalldown]

...and another thing.

What about tie votes?

[TwilightMystics]

My time zone! Everyone is complaining about those voting systems, if it's not good enough I'm putting it back to the old one.

[alldreamsfalldown]

My time zone! Everyone is complaining about those voting systems, if it's not good enough I'm putting it back to the old one.

I don't recall complaining.

[TwilightMystics]

I don't recall complaining.

Sorry i'm a bit pissed of...not caused by you guys...by someone else...:mad:

[Ervo]

Who am i facing because the first page says StyIe BUT...

http://vgboxart.com/view/9635/white.knight.story/?replies=5

So is he in the competition or is he not?

[Ayron]

i guess not ervo.o.o'
and my match still hasn't been posted aswell.:P
ah well, i'll wait. TM is busy lately ;)

[ELCrazy]

Yup, my match hasn't been posted either.

And I'm wonder if StRiKeR (my opponent) even submitted his box.
