GT Challenge Thread

[BreakABone]

I don't know how well this will work, it is an idea borrowed from GAF and editted a bit.

The simple premise is that each day a different challenge will be posted. Then any member is welcome to partake in the challenge, the member who has the best contribution can post the next challenge.

Sounds simple enough. I hope its explained as easily.

First challenge, create a haiku about a fellow GT member. :p

[Teuthida]

Forces folks to drink
White Russian, never again
Damn that arctic bird

[Dyne]

Earl, earl of Earls known
Challenging boundaries now.
Haiku is old hat. :(

[Teuthida]

Gekko creates games
Monkey obsession he has
Stop the maracas

[Teuthida]

Apprehend Birdman
Underage lover he seeks
Don't look him in eye

[Teuthida]

Hi Germanator
May I take a free button?
How 'bout a free shirt?

[flunkie44]

Roses are re-e-d
Violets are blu-u-u-e
This is the third line

[Teuthida]

What happend to Crash?
Is he off building armour?
Grip energy sword

[magus113]

Earl is quite crazy
He thinks that he is Batman
We all know he's not

[Vampyr]

Teuthida the squid,
From Almighty Cthuhlu.
Tentacles can draw?

[BreakABone]

Magus who knows him
He lurks in the shadow near
Ready to jump out.

[Teuthida]

Apparently I won the first challenge and am to create the second.

Second challenge: Take a picture of a duck, photoshop your duck picture to make it even better, find the best duck picture you can find, photoshop the best duck picture you can find to make an even greater duck picture, or draw/sculpt/will into existence your own duck. On your mark, get set, quack!

[KillerGremlin]

I would have but embedding videos slows my browser tremendously. :(

[KillerGremlin]

Are you using Firefox?

[Dyne]

Are you using Firefox?

Nope, Camino, but it's a derivative of Firefox for OS X.

[KillerGremlin]

Nope, Camino, but it's a derivative of Firefox for OS X.

I thought Macs where like the pimp sauce of computing. Do embedded videos slow down Safari?

[Dyne]

Hmm, not as much.

I can't give up the lightning-fast render time on Camino though. I just tried Safari right now and it takes forever for pages to load, one table at a time. Ugh.

[magus113]

Sigh...Firefox 3 for Mac ladies and gents. Firefox 3 for Mac.

[Dyne]

Sigh...Firefox 3 for Mac ladies and gents. Firefox 3 for Mac.

No thanks. Firefox loads a little faster than Safari but it doesn't even come close to comparing to Camino in render time. :)

[Teuthida]

Well Dyne wins by default...although a snoring duckling would have been hard to beat. Create the next challenge.

[uber_paddler]

So other than the embed thing, would you say Camino is preferable to FF3?

[Dyne]

So other than the embed thing, would you say Camino is preferable to FF3?

Actually, yeah. :) Render-times are so good for surfing. Sometimes I surf faster than I can read. :lolz:

Ok, new GT CHAAALLLEEENNGGEEE: Find the most disgusting food you can find on the internet. And link it, so we're prepared when we click the link rather than be ambushed by images in the thread. :lolz:

Aaaaaaaaand go!

[BreakABone]

Ox Penis. When Hotdogs just don't cut it. (http://listverse.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/09/oxpenis-tm.jpg)

[BreakABone]

Being only one who partook in the last challenge, I win by default.

Let's see how well this goes over.
Create a thread with some reference to a movie title or song name.
The person who's thread gets the most replies wins this round.

[Dyne]

Ok, it's been long enough, BaB didn't say when this would end. But I declare myself the winner with my "Welcome, Roxanne".

http://www.gametavern.net/forums/showthread.php?t=18859

Bwahahaha. :D I may have bent the rules a little, but it was worth it.

[Dyne]

Ok, the next challenge will be: Photoshop one or more of these images of the Hungarian weightlifter breaking his arm. :D

[BlueFire]

Well, that certainly looks painful.

[Fox 6]

Hes so lucky he didnt get crushed or anything.

[Dyne]

I posted the link in the Olympic thread already. :lolz: This is a place for photoshopping!

Photoshop away.

[Bube]

Hes so lucky he didnt get crushed or anything.

I think he'd probably prefer to be crushed.

And to be honest, I really don't see this as an opportunity for entertainment :(

[Dyne]

Welp. So much for that.

Next challenge. Find a picture of a funny monkey. Go.

Why?

[KillerGremlin]

Monkeys spank their monkey too.

Hahahaha, I was wondering if anyone was going to post that. :lolz:

[Dyne]

Oh, and BaB wins. :lolz: Monkey Cowboys always win.

[BreakABone]

Create an original story about yourself.
Hide one true fact in it, the person with the best story and the best hidden fact wins.
