Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

Yeah, for UK folk, I am pretty sure she would definately be interested in doing this, but I don't want to make any promises until she says so for sure.
When she has decided, I will ask everyone who is interested to email me to register interest.

The weighted companion cube, that is all kinds of brilliance. Like sheer, and utter.
Anyway, I'm here and I'm ready to resolve any problems. If you haven't yet received a gift, PM me to let me know. I may already have evidence that your gift is belatedly on its way to you, and I can set your mind at ease.
Hopefully I can post some pics of what I received for G&T Secret Santa later today!

did you sort the issue I pm'd you about? I assume so since it aparently got resolved despite my ineptitude.
I'm interested to know if you have listened to that yet and if you liked it.
I think this thread is a better example of good spirit than almost anything else I have heard this season.
Like I said, I want photos of that dragon puzzle when it's done!
This is the true representation of Christmas spirit in my eyes.
Pics to follow later.
So he bought you a shotgun?

Post pictures, man! Did you already have the stuff I gave you? Have you used the stickers to create wonderful creatures? I must know these things!
Oh God... That's my favorite video on Youtube. "What are you pressing select for?! You don't have time to setup a profile!"
So awesome.
I can't stop reading Bone and as a result I only got like 4 hours of sleep last night. It's very, VERY good stuff.
Thanks again. :wink:
I was so close!
Ah well, now I know how all the other games felt when Portal came out...

Hi Robert,
Wow, I'm so thrilled that Tycho likes my picture, and about the things other people have said about it. It makes me really happy and shocked and humble that you all like what I've done, it was fun to do, cos it was a pretty picture anyway.
If I can find a reasonably priced way of sending stuff to people, I'd happily do so. It took about 10 hours to paint ICO (Lewie just told me it was all caps - I'd written Ico)(n0013!!!), and I'm a bit busy right now, but could probably do 1 a month I think. I'd only paint pretty pictures though, not nasty ones like from Call of Duty or Resident Evil (any number).
The canvas and paints will cost around £10/$20 per picture for one the same size as Tycho's, a bit less for smaller, I have no idea about postage/shipping costs, Tycho's was £40/$80, but that was because I mega wrapped it, and it was to Seattle from UK. Within UK I'd hope it would be less, or people could pick them up from Manchester if they wanted to.
I have no idea what I should charge for doing the paintings, I like lilies, 70% bitter chocolate, or you could buy stuff from oxfam unwrapped, cos other than chocolate and flowers, I don't really need stuff, and I enjoy painting and feel really valued by you, and other people need stuff more than I do (see oxfam unwrapped), so I'd only need my costs (materials and postage) meeting.
If you would like a painting done by me, please email me at shirley.procter@gmail.com, with details of what you'd like me to paint (if its not ICO), with a picture of it (or link) and where you live so I could work out postage costs for you.

"The power of the weirdness compels me."
My tales of widespread appreciation of my Mum's painting lead her to register on the forums.
No rude jokes for me now.
This is Oxfam unwrapped.
I think the paintings will be done pretty much on a first come first served basis (maybe UK folks prioritised at first, just because shipping will obviously be cheaper), so get those emails off quick.
To just throw out a number, I think anywhere between $100 and $400 USD would be fair, depending on how many people you want in the queue. At $100, I think you'd get a ton of takers. At $400, maybe just a few.
I'll probably send an email your way, myself. I just need to think of what game art would be best in my apartment...

Yes, I think I'll need to filter requests though, maybe I'll do the prettiest ones first, and leave boring ones til later??! And maybe by location as well, so UK first, although I nearly came to Seattle last year with my job, perhaps I'll work on a US trip again.

How about a Child's Play donation? Keeping it relevant, and all? Saying that, there is some awfully cool stuff on Oxfam Unwrapped.

That said, those are awesome pictures.
Maybe focus on companion cube boxes

I am listening right now.
V Good. I am laughing muchly.
Edit: All finished, solid gold throughout (maybe could do without the song at the end...) Like I said it's really great to have enjoyed something I would never have ever been aware of without the international joy that is Secret Santa.
Rest easy my Santa, you did real good.

As for the writing, I think it's part Desire from sandman, and part completely over the top scrawl. It used to be much worse.
/ugh still seasick
Would you have an issue if I stole the use of my fantastic companion cube (currently sitting behind me, watching me type) for a cosplay costume? ^_^
