Hey everyone, I have another screenshot contest this time with a lot of games to give away! I sometimes receive game offers whether I'm interested in them or not, so rather than have them go to waste, you have a chance to win some of them. Most of these aren't top-tier games, they're all games I either already have copies of or aren't particularly interested in, but hopefully some of you out there will enjoy them. All games are digital copies for PC either for Steam or Humble Bundle codes.

RULES:

-Submit an interesting screenshot from any game either by posting in the comments to this post, or else emailing it to [email protected] (external links are fine).

-You can submit a maximum of 3 screenshots per person.

-Only one game can be won per contestant, so as to maximize the number of people who get games.

-You have until midnight EST of Dec. 21st to submit a screenshot. You can try and submit one late, but you may not make it.

-Winners will be announced on Dec. 22nd.

-Winners will get their pick of which game they want until there are none left. So 1st place gets 1st choice, 2nd place 2nd choice, etc.

-If a winner does not claim which game they want within 24 hours of being contacted by email or private message, they will get perpetually bumped in line behind the next person.

-While I think these all will work, since these were all gifted, there's no guarantee that all the games are working, since I can't check them.

TIPS:

Here are some characteristics of screenshots that are more likely to win (note: they probably shouldn't have ALL of these):

+Screenshots that seem to raise a lot of questions

+Screenshots that seem like there's some sort of story behind them

+Impressive action

+Slapstick humor

+Something surreal

+Something I find funny

 

Some characteristics of screenshots that probably WON'T win:

-ONLY something scenic without anything extra

-Screenshots you can't appreciate unless you're familiar with the game it was taken from, or have a lot of context

-High Scores or kill/death ratios

-Toilet or sex pose humor without something more clever to it

COMMENTS

Allow me to de-lurk to ask a rather important question; Is that Fallout 3 Game of the Year edition,or whichever version comes with the DLC?

Sorry, it's just the basic.

These are some pretty old screenshots of mine, but I think they fit the bill.

 

 

Number one is from Deus Ex: Invisible War.

 

 

 

 

 

The other two are from Age of Empires 3, which I used to play a lot of back in the day.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I think if I spent time searching through my hard drives, I could find some good ones. As is, this is an amusing recent one that was easily accessible. It's from Life Is Strange. I think the title would be: "Thanks for clearing that up, game."

Commando Carl

 

 

Tourist Trap

 

 

Trouble Every Day

 

 

The watcher of Sanctuary

 

 

I've got some screenshots that might qualify as "interesting."

Not sure if glitches are fair game, though.

 

 

 

 

 

Finally! A screenshot contest I can participate in! Here are my personal favorites:

 

 

 

 

 

 

To clarify: you don't have to give your steam name unless you're a winner AND you picked one of the games marked that way.

The Walking Dead Season 2: link

 

 

 

Some Half Life 2 mod I forgot the name of: link

 

 

Does anyone know if I can post my screenshots straight from my PC? I don't have them uploaded to any site currently.

I think you can do that by using the "Upload Attachment" section below the main reply textbox inside the full editor.

Best of luck to everyone participating in the competition.

Tried that, I got a message saying I can't upload anything larger than 2mbs.

@Heliocentrical: You can try downsizing the image size by changing the dimensions of it and making it smaller... or really, just easily upload it to a site like here: http://imgur.com/ No sign up required.

 

Text in the top-middle. The definition of overkill.

"I think he's dead."

 

 

 

Personally, I don't open doors this way... but whatever floats your boat, mate.

 

 

 

Ah yes, the threatening horse.
