October Screenshot Competition Poll

**Centurio Nixalsverdrus** · 11-05-2008, 21:35

In Germany we say "one shouldn't distribute the skin of the bear before he's killed."

**SwissBarbar** · 11-05-2008, 22:17

oh, a competition of old sayings, cool. In switzerland we say "Wo chiemtemer ou häre, wenn jede wörd säge: "wo chiemtemer ou häre", ond kene gieng go luege wohäre das me chiem; weme gieng"

now translate that

here in Mexico we say...

"don't sell the mil before milking the cow"

something like that... I don't really say it, no one really says it anyway

and he's got a good 3-point lead.

True, I was certain of TWFanatic's victory from the start

I mean, his pic is just vastly superior in every aspect to the rest, IMHO.

Thanks everybody who voted for me!

Someone mentioned that my screenshot was too photshopped. well, yeah Not as much as you think, but of course, there are a lot of really marvelous unedited shots this month, and compared to them my sc wouldn't stand a chance unedited.

I did these two things, simulated depth of view and fiddled with curves. not that hard to do.

One funny thing about Photo-edit , take a look at the official Screenshots of Empire:total war. One shot, with a cavalry charge or something, And I'm 100% that someone have blurred the background to simulate focus depth. it's not even a good photo edit. None of the other screenshots has this edit. Evil Marketing people!

That's actually illegal. Unless the game developer specifically states which screenies/videos are actual game footage and which ones aren't. I have heard of more than just one major lawsuit concerning false advertising featuring edited screenshots/video previews. The plaintiff won by the way, and the company was forced to revise their advertising.
