a_bit_of_wit_2: My face in grid form, colored with the bisexual pride flag colors. (Sleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep!)
This post is a gratuitous whoring/your input post. You have been warned.

Item #1: As I mentioned in the last post, I am doing something to hopefully nab me extra income. I've taken some of my images and put them on items supplied by CafePress.com--tote bags, calendars, mousepads, posters, greeting cards, to name a few. More items can be found at my CafePress store, Mad Squirrel Stuff. All the images that you see there are photos that were taken by yours truly. However, if you want to add your own touch to said items, you could provide a photo that you own. I'll work with the photo to make it look good on the items you specify. If you provide your own photo, please make sure it's a high resolution image, AND NO COPYRIGHTED/PROFESSIONAL IMAGES. New stuff is being added during the week, so check back often. Also, the images on the existing products may also change. Support This Site

Item #2: April is also desiring of some extra income this holiday season. While I try to appeal to your visual senses, April will be appealing to your stomachs (and sweet tooths). She is making some delicious bake-d treats this season in the form of pies, cakes, and cookies. While she doesn't know how to ship pies and cakes, she can and will ship cookies. Her price list and offerings can be found here: April's Delicious Cookies

Item #3: While the contest that just ended is still fresh in everyone's minds, I feel it necessary to give you the suggestions for themes for the next contest. The suggestion that a majority likes the most will be the next theme for the winter contest. I will leave this poll up for 1 month, or until I get a landslide win, whatever happens sooner. Below you will see the explanations for each suggestion.


What should be the theme of the next character battle contest?
Console-Specific
Old-School (pre-N64/PSone)
Old-School vs. New School
Random Character Battle
World-Specific
Genre-Specific
Heroes
Other--suggest your own!

For each suggestion I've thrown up there, all of them have one thing in common: each will have the standard format--128 characters, 4 divisions (32 characters each) plus Tournament Final.

Suggestion 1: Console-Specific. This is self-explanatory. This would a be a character battle contest comprising of characters from ONE system (or series of systems). For example, all Nintendo characters or all Sega characters or all Sony characters or all Microsoft characters. If you select this, please indicate which you'd like of the 4 major companies.

Suggestion 2: Old-School. Suggested by our Colosso champion, Kinie, this would be a battle comprising of characters on games released BEFORE the N64/PSone era.

Suggestion 3: Old School vs. New School. A variation by me on Kinie's idea, this would be a character battle pitting all 4 major systems against each other. The 4 divisions would be Nintendo, Sega, Sony, Microsoft.

Suggestion 4: Random. Self-explanatory. I'd take 128 random characters, jumble them up and see what happens.

Suggestion 5: World-Specific. A bit of a unique idea, this would be a battle of worlds. For example, one division would contain characters from the Mushroom Division, the next would have characters from the world of Hyrule, the next division from the DK world, etc.

Suggestion 6: Genre-Specific. In this, it could be a battle between four different gaming genres--action adventure characters, survival horror, strategy, RPG, fighting, etc.

Suggestion 7: Heroes. We had video game villains. How about the silent heroes? Or loud, obnoxious heroes?

Suggestion 8: Other--suggest your own: Exactly what it says. If you have another idea, please, by all means, throw it out there! If we like it, we'll do it! Our 2nd contest, Video Game Villains, was suggested by Eyes. Be as specific as you can--if you think we can round up 128 characters to fit that theme, suggest it!

Make your choice! This concludes the whoring of ourselves post.

EDIT, 9:40 PM: Added 8 new items to the CafePress store. Mostly items containing images of pets I've had, past and present. Remember my pit bull and my Cockatiel? They're up there, memorialized as Christmas ornaments.
