Default Video Game Week: October 10th-16th



Video Game Week! And not just the 8-bit kind, we take all forms of video game from the very most modern all the way back to SpaceWar!, and I bet you don't even know what that is!

So whether you're into rescuing princesses or blowing zombies into gibbs, this is the week for you.

So like the man says...



"Let's-a-go!

Yes. Not so much for the soon-ness as because my production of Ruddigore is the 5th to the 9th of October, so I will have to use my Sir Roderic avatar for those days. But still.

That's at least two votes for shifting the date forward.

Going to wait for a few more people to vote though. Just in case.

I'm not sure. It is quite close,but if it becomes too late, we may not have enough time for Halloween.

Ai. Keep it as set. Halloween will require more to coridnate (two people need to agree to partner and I doubt anyone will have an existing avatar).

Also, WIP



Works fairly well at 120^2 for such a cluttered outfit.

Make that three.
I'm on a business trip next week. No computer and no Inkscape make Strawberries sad. .

EDIT: but, if it interferes with Halloween, leave it as is. I'm just sorry I won't probably make any avatar.

Oh, if anyone wants too, check my Photobucket account

http://s927.photobucket.com/albums/a...euxhero/Stuff/

I got a lot of video game avatars you can have if you want them. Most are free (I think the Snorlax is the only one that isn't actually, I think Spike and Harry Dresden are in use by the requester still, though that doesn't matter).

It is, though often there will be a list of people who give open permission for their avatar to be costume-ized.

Well, we could just do an awkward thing and have the Week start on Wednesday and end on Wednesday, or we could start it, and then keep going a little longer if people want to keep going with it.

In the meantime, let's go with it as if we're going to have it on that week.
