Remember Photoshop Phridays?

It's still going, obviously, but doesn't really get as much love as it used to.

Anyway, we're thinking about a community-driven front-page thing at some point during the week, sjut as a non-serious gaming side of things, and AusGamers (and QGL) often bring the lolz, so why not?

Meme Monday was my first thought - I know it seems like every man, dog, woman and seal is doing memes these days, but we'd obviously filter to the really good stuff. Just a basic post to fill the news void that is usually Monday anyway (especially now that Eorl covers the weekend posts for us).

If you can think of something better though, I'm all ears, also, I'd be open to something every day of the week like "Weird Wednesday" (weird gaming news) "Thorough Thursday" (outlining in-depth gaming analysis, you know, solid features that aren't specifically news-centric, like our mature gaming thing we did) and so on...

Constructive feedback only please

Yep as long as it has a very specific theme each time. Sometimes people will post a thread on here like "photoshop anything" and that is just not inspirational.

Memes are fucking horrible. Photoshop friday is a good idea. Have a theme, provide pictures for shopping and give credit.

You'd probably have people stay on topic a lot more if you offered some kind of prize or an achievement or something, and a one week ban (thus also excluded from next weeks comp) for posting useless crap.

What Whoop said. How about a prize for the winners, such as the right to advertise something on the site they wouldn't otherwise be able to (within reason of course). Or just some free banner advertising.

Seems like a win/win to me.

Memes were so hilarious in the olden days.

You are a charity, Ticcles.

"Vash Vednesday". Vash tells us a real-life story and we bag him for 1000+ posts thereafter.

Memes are alright. Meme-of-our-Theme Monday.

Wait so your idea is an event that promotes a software package that is discriminatively priced towards Australians and woefully expensive? Way to stand up for Australian consumers!

Or were you expecting that because of the demographic of this site, that those who participate would have pirated the software, reinforcing the stereotype that PC gamers are all a bunch of horrible pirates?

Should have a Blatant Troll Tuesday IMO.

You do know there's perfectly capable software packages that are free right? The Gimp for one.

I used it exclusively for more than a year. It's great for a free program but comparing it to Photoshop is like comparing a Paddle Pop to a Magnum Ego.

But like Whoop said, it is capable, not an equivalent. I wouldn't call it that but it is definitely better than nothing.

Enough about Gimp and more about funny photos.

Saw the thing on the ausgamers facebook page about photoshopping that stupid koala, didn't post it there because I don't want the prize so here, be subjected to more of my rubbish posts.
Photobucket

and I bet it would still sell 10 million copies.

Is that the real koala mouth? Reminds me of Full Metal Jacket when they show their war face. Also, hes missing the gun the dude holds in every COD boxart.

that's how the koala looks in the fb picture. All I did was add text and a helmet. He's one angry looking son of a bitch.
