Screenshot Contest Winners

Here are my winning picks from the screenshot contest, followed by my favorite runner-ups. Congrats to Zac Moore, Bob Builder, and Jax Kenobi, who will receive a copy of Uncanny Valley. I picked ones that I felt stood out well enough by themselves without needing a lot of context and I leaned towards ones that suggested there was some deeper story going on.

 

WINNNERS:

 

Zac Moore:

This has exactly the sort of subtlety to it that I like and that maybe something more sinister is going on in this neighborhood

 

Bob Builder:

I was somehow envisoning some sort of psychopath whose business with the cow still wasn't done.

People sent me a lot of ragdoll glitches, but I'm not sure any came close to the body horror that this one is.

 

Jax Kenobi:

Great pic that raises lots of questions. You can tell he's deep in thought.

 

RUNNNER-UPS:

 

Shark Tooth Bubs:

I'm really envisioning a crazy homeless person who has no qualms about stabbing you for trying to steal his brain.

 

Ville "jipostus" Lahtinen:

There's some dark stuff going on in this town.

 

Calvin Rieta:

Veni, vidi, vici.

 

LambdaPyro:

I may be biased on this one, but the timing seems to perfect, like the scientist never saw it coming, nor should he have expected that to begin with.

 

z z:

It's a little corny, but I enjoyed it.

 

Presence:

I actually didn't realize the significance when I first saw the screenshot and thought it looked interesting on its own. Finding out later that this is default gameplay gives a little more boost.

That PayDay ragdoll glitch deserves screenshot of the year award, IMO. XD I love PayDay ragdolls...

Congratulations to the winners though!

Congrats to the winners.

 

It's a pity most of the shots were in e-mail...

Almost none from the thread are in this list, which suggests there were a lot of good ones we can't see.

[Otto]

Yeah same, I hope we didn't miss out on any other interesting ones.

[Reverend_UshankaCat_]

Oh man those screenshots were great. I hope you will make another contest like this again soon (but this time with a longer deadline, so I can participate too- I had some screenshot waiting just for this opportunity)!

[Alyxx Thorne]

Congrats to the winners. Although the honorable mentions are more interesting to me, lol...

Those are pretty damn good. Reminds of the awesome Battlefield 3 in real life videos:

 

[Jeb_CC]

Oh. So it's a ragdoll competition? I can play that game!! That video is amazing though.

 

 

 

 

Yes, that last one is my cat.

 

EDIT: Just realized they're not exactly classed as ragdolls. OOPS! But eh, whatever. Still hilarious.

[Binky The Rabbit]

Ragdolls? Say no more. No posing was done on these, this is how they came to rest after being killed in-game:

 

All he wanted was a high-five...

 

 

So not camp.

 

 

"Shall I compare thee, to a summer's day?"

 

 

The cruel, heartless Combine, bringers of such misery to the Human race, take very rigourous Yoga lessons.

 

 

This would look great on a wall, in place of the usual flying ducks...

 

 

"Wait, I need to start my lawnmower!"

 

 

RUN, FUCKING RUN!

 

 

The Combine are fans of S Club 7

 

 

[from a crossbow bolt to the head]"Buuhhhh..."

 

 

"Where'd they all go?" (Note blue Demoman showing off crotch to Pyro)

 

 

Haters gonna hate.

 

 

After said hating and subsequent drowning of sorrows.

 

 

Tie erection.

 

 

Finally, I think my GMod might not be working properly.

 

 

[Jeb_CC]

@Binky:

XD Brilliant. The S Club 7 one just killed me. Such SASS!

 

Funny screenshots from games are usually like... 80% ragdoll physics. XP So I'm not surprised there was a few winners/runner ups that used ragdolls.

[BTGBullseye]

Now, if it had been a video contest, I would've recorded my skyrim glitches... The weird opening scene flubbercart issue, and when the guy gets beheaded just after choosing your character, his body twitches, and his severed head jumps straight up out of the catch basket 3 times. (occasionally leaving the basket) Or even one where General Tullius is vertically squished, walking with his body horizontal, and one where his 'floor' is 2 feet below everyone else's.
