ModRetro Legend
I had this idea a while back but it never went anywhere. But now, it's back with a vengence. And on ModRetro. Basically, you have to create a fake product, project, or whatnot. A writeup is nice too, not strictly required. Did I mention there are categories? Oh yes, there are three categories. I'll go over them now, with rules.
Concept Art: Drawings, 3D Models, shoops, or whatnot.
1. You can draw it, do it in 3D, even shoop it for all I care. But it should be a good shoop. If you actually build something and take a picture of it, then it's in the next category, it's not concept art.
2. It can be as 'out there' as you want, but it should look good, not like a piece of garbage from a trash dump.
3. A writeup is not required.
4. Maximum of three entries per person. This is to keep the amount of crappy shoops down to a managable level.
'Real' Stuff: Build some fake crap and pretend it's real.
1. It has to be a physical object. As in, build it and make it look pretty. See above for non-physical objects.
2. You don't have to post more than one picture. You can be liberal with the camera angles, lighting, and such. However, more better pictures will mean more better votes.
3. If it works, or appears to work, regardless of how you do it, then my hat goes off to you. You can shoop a screen image (if applicable) in if you want, but that's about it.
4. A writeup/story is recommended, but you can do without it. Expect booing, though.
5. There is no maximum of entries, yet. This may change, however, if people start spamming junk in.
Videos: A pretty open category here.
1. You can show off whatever you want, or make a fake trailer, announce something, whatever. It's pretty open here.
2. Use whatever you can to make things convincing. Video-photoshopping, greenscreen, animation, whatever.
3. You don't need a writeup, for obvious reasons.
4. Maximum of three entries, to keep spamming down.
General Rules
1. There is a prize of an invisible portable XBOX 360, delivered by an invisible, silent mailman. It's also two atoms in size. Anyone who PM's me asking where their prize is will be visited by a Ninja Death Squad.
2. Your entry should be gaming or at least tech related. Your concept car may be cool, but it does not belong here.
3. Winner will be chosen by popular vote. If there enough entries voting will be done in two rounds.
4. Deadline is April 1st, 2010. You don't have that much time, so get cracking.
5. Rules are subject to change if enough people yell loudly enough, or if someone powerful whispers something in my ear.
6. The aim of this contest is not to trick people into believing something is real. You can try to rickroll Engadget or screw over IGN if you want, but that's not the primary goal of the contest.
The contest starts now! Get cracking, and have fun!
