"Seeing as there's a trend nowadays for old skool videogame characters being "revamped" (for example Pit off Kid Icarus) my idea is to take videogame characters and concepts from the 70's and 80's (yeah, that includes the bats in Pong or the tank from Space Invaders) and update/reinterpret them in a modern or completely different way." --ProtoDome PM your entries to me by WEDNESDAY FEBRUARY 24TH. -------------------------- and the winner is.......

So sorry about the delay in getting the results posted, I've basically been sleeping for the past two days, with brief periods of engulfing food. Edited the first post with the results, and hopefully we can get the January FAC up and running shortly. Thanks to those who submitted and those who voted, really. I also want to say thanks to those who told me in person at Magfest not to give up on the competition. This past FAC had me wanting to GTFO, but hearing that people still want the competition makes me feel less like giving up completely. So thanks. <3

Hey guys, entries are up. Please PM your votes to me by TUESDAY JANUARY 5TH. Sorry for the long voting time, but that's when I get back from my trip. Thank you to those who submitted entries <3 And here is a Holiday card of Nina from Breath of Fire from one of our regulars. Happy Holidays! Now git to voting!

it's your friendly neighborhood bonzai, reminding you that the deadline to submit entries is tomorrow!

Thanks for the submissions DJ Mighty. Sorry to have been absentee for so long, I'm finally done with finals. Do you guys (besides DJ Mighty) have entries, either done or will be done before the end of December? If so, send them my way. If not, I'm unsure what we're going to do for January. I'm going to be out of town starting on the 29th (IMPENDING MAGFEST) and I am unsure if I will have reliable internet access until January 7th or so. So if you DO have something to submit, send it my way. I'm going to make the deadline DECEMBER 28TH. I'll throw the entries up before I leave for unreliable internetz. We'll just have a really long voting period. Sorry things are so janky for this month, the past month, and probably next month. Hope everyone else has survived this crazy month, if you had finals or just the upcoming holidays in general.

The best time I ever had on 2fort, both teams decided to go completely on the offensive, and then it was a race to see who could cap the intel 3 times. No turtling, no snipe offs, just epic sieges of each others bases. Most of the time on 2fort, people either ignore the objective completely (sniperfort), or they only make an effort to defend the intel. Which I don't mind, I'll build a sentry and eat dinner for the 30 minutes. I think in Turbine, there can be a little less turtling, but then again there's always people who just want to Huntsman snipe in the vents. I like the CTF maps, I just hate how people play on them sometimes.
