Hey, Who Wants To Win A Copy Of Stacking?

Posted by Brad (2684 posts) - 2 years, 3 months ago
Double Fine's latest, greatest downloadable endeavor Stacking is live and kicking on Xbox Live and the PlayStation Network, and guess what--time for you to win a copy! Well, "copy" sounds like a weird way to refer to something that doesn't tangibly exist, but you get the point.  
 
Anyway, the game is unique, silly, and endearing as hell. Here's why!
   
  
OK, we've got five vouchers to give away for each platform, and the rules are thus: 
 
  1. Photoshop an image that includes stacking dolls and something video game-related. I know that's pretty loose, so get creative. There's plenty of source material for you to work with.
  2. Post it in the comments along with your desired platform (X360 or PS3).
  3. The 10 images that make me laugh the hardest will be selected and their authors sent a code via PM.
 
I'll give you the full weekend to crank on these things, so I'll check back on Monday to select the winners. Now sally forth and manipulate some images!

I for one can not wait to see a Stacking doll saying "I'm a Wizard and that looks fucked up."

Oh man, I wish I had photoshop... and some talent.  

#6 Posted by gingertastic_10 (4140 posts) - 2 years, 3 months ago

Well. I have PS+ so I already got it for free :P

@Abyssfull: Gimp is free, and is more or less the same...

Me too. Also before anyone replies with," But you paid for it with your subscription," personally PS+ has saved me like $65 so far so I'm happy.

Agreed. Like I really wanted the Sam and Max games but didn't want to pay the 35 bucks. Guess what, it was free one month. Me = happy.

The trophies/achievements are pretty simple in this game, if you have both platforms you could always double up and replay it on the opposite platform.
 
If you're...sick in the head...like me.

I suck at using Paint.. nevermind Photoshop. Good luck to those who are going to participate, though. 

Edit:  OK, here is my attempt. I can't photoshop to save my life, so I thought I'd make something simple. Hope you find it funny, and if I win (by some miracle), I'm OK with either the PS3 or 360 version.

Still a shame that should your subscription end and you don't renew, all of the 'free' content will be taken off you and reverted to trial versions. Of course you've still got plenty O time to completely dry up the free games they release, but still was pretty vexing when it happened to me.

#16 Posted by MisterMouse (3493 posts) - 2 years, 3 months ago

it is cool that they are doing stuff like this.

#17 Edited by msavo (7257 posts) - 2 years, 3 months ago
@Abyssfull: I plan on resubbing before they take my stuff away. The way I see it every month has been getting better and better.
#18 Posted by buft (3142 posts) - 2 years, 3 months ago

i wish there was an easier way to win it

And another one of these where I can't win because I don't have a 360 or PS3.  Hopefully the next one will be for a PC game, or at least one with a PC version.
 
Might still do this for fun though.

#24 Posted by KaosAngel (13766 posts) - 2 years, 3 months ago



 As you can see, I have SC2 Players Stacked.  Boxer is number one.  List goes bottom left and clockwise from there.  PS3 BTW
#25 Posted by jelekeloy (454 posts) - 2 years, 3 months ago

I have a good idea and no skill. We'll see how this goes.

#26 Posted by Jayross (2368 posts) - 2 years, 3 months ago

Seems like a lot of work...

#27 Posted by lewigi2012 (49 posts) - 2 years, 3 months ago

'nuff said. 360 plox
#28 Posted by Gutlieb (86 posts) - 2 years, 3 months ago
@Jayross:  no not really, people are doing these things all the time on this site for free anyways...
#29 Posted by crusader8463 (13057 posts) - 2 years, 3 months ago

I went for the obvious one.  Click HERE for the slightly larger picture. I would like the PS3 one, but I will settle for the 360 if all the PS3 ones are gone.

#30 Edited by evildeadron (810 posts) - 2 years, 3 months ago

here is my attempt, if you choose my "masterpiece" i would like a code for 360

Great.  PhotoShop.  Something that I can't do.   :(

#32 Posted by IkariNoTekken (990 posts) - 2 years, 3 months ago

#35 Posted by Bleshoo (63 posts) - 2 years, 3 months ago

I'd like it for the PS3, if I win one!

#36 Posted by yoshimitz707 (2374 posts) - 2 years, 3 months ago

Contest that require skill suck!! BOOO!!!!

 @crusader8463:  I really hate to copy someone's work, but I just had to do this:

I'm not trying to claim someone else's victory. I'm just sharing this.

Hey everyone, they're called nesting dolls, not stacking dolls. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

#47 Posted by devotfeige (96 posts) - 2 years, 3 months ago

Someone will have beaten me to this and/or done it better, I'm sure.
 
(Either console; preference goes to X360.)
