Ragnarblackmane: Excellent games indeed, except Invisible War, I don't recommend playing that one.
Is it really that bad or just that bad as a Deus Ex game?

It's inferior to Deus Ex (what isn't?), but I personally enjoyed it anyway :)
Congrats!
Any information who will host the next contest yet?
Wonderful winner pics!
Congratulations :)

And thanks to Laulajatar for hosting the contest!
Congratulations to the winners and thanks to all for awesome 'fotos'! And, of course, many thanks to Laulajatar for this wonderful contest!
Any news on who will do the next contest?
I could do the Dezember Version, but I don´t wanna run the November-Edition!
I can do it if no one minds that I can't do a cash prize. I have a couple of donated codes I was going to do a giveaway with, and I can give the first place winner his or her choice of prize from my trading list, too.

Wha'ch'all think?

I'm in these just for the fun. Prizes are a great bonus, but really I just love seeing and posting screenshots. Whether it has a cash prize, donated codes, or nothing at all, it is just a great monthly thread. If you are up for it, I'd love to see a November thread.

Awesome :D I feel the same way. I'll set it up later today, and will announce it in the How Does One Make a Gift thread.

We can join forces (if you agree)! I can donate one game too (tales of maj'eyal - I wasn't going to buy this at the moment but after the treatment we got from darkgod, I going to buy one for me plus one giftcode for GA) so when you set it up, we can talk about the details via pm. What do you say? :-)

Sorry for OT, but I have a question for future contests:
The rules say that the pictures must not content game UI and so on, but how can I do this? If I make a screenshot the UI and other things are ALWAYS on the screenshot!

A few ways...
-Switch the UI off in the game's options menu. Some games even have a "hide UI" key, but that is pretty rare.
-If there are no options to disable it, you can try using mods, hacks, or cheats to do it. Usually a quick websearch will bring up results if there are any mods or workarounds.
-Minimal photo editing is allowed, so if there is absolutely no way to turn off the UI, simply crop the offending edges from your screenshot using any image program (assuming the UI is mostly around the edges of the screen. If it is in the middle, you are kinda screwed.)

You might have to get a bit creative and come up with your own solutions for some games. For example - I took some photos in Far Cry 2 a few months ago. I couldn't get rid of the crosshair, but it would go away for about one second when switching weapons. So most of my shots were taken while I was in the middle of switching weapons.
I also couldn't remove the crosshair in No One Lives Forever 2, but there are options to change the color of your crosshair, so I made my crosshair blackish-brown and it kinda just blended in with some of the backgrounds.

Those are the things I've done to get rid of UI elements. I'd love to hear what other people do.
OK, the new contest has been posted HERE, and the prizes will be added as soon as I can figure out where I put the codes! lol~ Vythonaut, PM headed your way~
