Ladies and Gentlemen of the VGU fold The Ice Caps have melted and we're all gonna drown in cheers and party!
The Jury has convened and we have settled on our official 3 #winners!
On 3rd place, with a dazzling urban landscape overtaken by the actual phenomenon of Nuclear Winter, from the heart of actual Russia, from the depths of an actual video-game underground, underneath a few tons of actual ice, we have the Metro 2033 screenshot by @Juzkin590
Metro 2033:
On 2nd place, a man who needs no introduction, a man who is more than a man! Because he's the hero VGU deserves, but not the one it needs right now. So we'll freeze him. Because he can take it. Because he's not our hero. He's a silent guardian. A watchful protector. A Dark Knight. You've guessed it! The second Batman Arkham Origins screenshot by @AdvancedTerror
Batman:
And for the grand prize, on 1st place with a hat-trick set from which either pic would've made our Top 3, one in particular showcases hardship confronted with mutual support and brotherhood, a scene that inspires us to do better, to help more, to stick together to outlast the cold, even if we're ill-prepared for it, even if icicles are as big as we are, we know we're bigger together I present to you the new and current Champion of the VGU OG Screenshot Contest: @OrmrSnaethorsen with
Brothers - A Tale of Two Sons:
As promised Prizes: Ormr's screenshot will become a banner for VGU and put in rotation effective immediately! All 3 winning screenshots will be featured in the Site Gallery Hall of Fame and on the official VGU Facebook Page All 3 winners will be allowed to use an achievement signature created by Undeadsewer (slight delay on its delivery, winners will be PMd when it's done) All 3 winners will have their choice of any signature created by our fabulous Graphix Specialists, if they wish so.
Let the Celebratory party Commence!
Respect and appreciation to all contestants! You've all received +1 for participating! Congratulations once again to the winners!
Many thanks to the jury: @dragbody, @Dead Sirious and myself and to @TheHulksCousin who has acted as reserve judge when it was necessary! Thank you for being involved and supporting our event!
The Topic is now Open for all comments, criticism and congratulatory messages! Drinks are on the winners' tab
Happy New Year!
Thank you to DVAted for the chance to serve as a judge on this contest. I want all contestants to know that I did not take my job lightly here and I spent a long time looking over every shot over and over. As a judge, I looked for theme, overall aesthetic value, and story-telling ability. There were only three winners, but so many more shots that were contenders.
Ormr set the standard for entries from his very first post and no one was able to top him. It was an impressive move and an impressive shot. I loved all three from him.
AdvancedTerror's Batman pic looked cool, but only stood out to me after I considered all three of the criteria I mentioned above. Any picture would be hard-pressed to capture the ICE theme better.
Juzkin's Metro2033 picture made me glad it was not a picture from Fallout. Otherwise, I may have not faired so well in that contest :p Truly, this was a great picture. Even though the caption is a slight eyesore to those of us spoiled by "~ tm", the image overall is striking.
