I saw people playing this game while looking at a Hungarian forum. It goes like this: someone posts a picture that is not funny yet, but sees some potential in it, other people download it, fire up Photoshop, and upload the result. As there are a lot of creative people on this forum as well, I thought we could start this here, too (if this has been done before in the ancient times when I wasn't here, I apologise). Here are a few examples to help you get started:

This is the base picture:



Example 1 by sigmavirus1 (from Moondragon Entertainment forums):



Example 2 by Ishar:


So, that's what this is all about. A few laughs, someone posts a new picture, other people turbo it with Photoshop, more laughs, rinse, repeat. Hope you'll like this game.

I've seen the game on Survivor Sucks. But your choice of starter suggestion leaves me anything but amused (I'm sure others will take up the slack).

The M-med cartoons are so offensive and can't be shown. But Jesus is fair game. What a wonderful world this is.

[David-kyo]

It was not my intention to offend anyone, it's just that these were the first and most obvious pictures in that thread. My apologies.

Anyway. If anyone wants to suggest a picture can feel free to do so, otherwise I will post one sometime tomorrow, and we'll see how it turns out.

Your image server is so slow that it makes puppies cry. I'm still waiting for images to finish loading after I've posted this.

I can't judge on much of the content yet, but do we want to make all religions not OK to make fun of, or just balance it out and pick on some others too?

[Chyld]

They just won't even load for me. All I'm getting is some words, a cross top, and some axe heads.

I do like the idea of a Night Life Photoshop Phriday, though. Give me an image I can see, and I'll do what I can.

[David-kyo]

Okay, here's our first, warm-up picture (it's okay to screw with politicians, right?). Shouldn't be too difficult, methinks.



Hopefully, this'll load better for you.

Damn me being at work and damn me not having Photoshop on my omnibook and damn me not having internet at home right now. Oh well, I shall try my best, if what I have in mind can actually be done.

[Slade]

Uh... There's no need to change that one.

[David-kyo]

Actually, even if the base picture is funny to start with, you can change a lot of things, e.g. add speech bubbles, redraw the whole picture, paste something different in, or change the texts.

[Chyld]

But I can do that without any creativity or effort whatsoever, using a hackneyed joke, and with Paint of all things! I mean, look!

Proof that Evolution should be taught in schools.

Needs less text. There's only so much the healing brush can do. It's also amazingly retarded sometimes.

[Despondent]

I obviously didn't prepare that file. Just folleying suit.

[Slade]

Just to be clear, I meant the healing brush is retarded. I miss Paint Shop Pro.

I'll try to get a few crappy photoshop pictures out soon!
