[G][SMA] Distortion (56k no)

[Chris]

Distortion
Approved by Zak/Aipom of Doom

Founder: Chris

Abstract: Guess the contents of a blurred, unfocused, warped or otherwise distorted image - Guess the contents of even harder distortions to score even more points


Outline

The thread starter posts an image that he/she (or someone unrelated to the game) has affected in some way - Photoshopped, blurred, warped, or any combination of filters. The starter also has to attach a score value to the image - the number of points a player will score if he/she guesses what the image contains:

5 - Very difficult
4 - Difficult
3 - Standard
2 - Fairly easy
1 - Very easy

Players are allowed to guess three times per distortion (to involve as many people as possible per round).

If a player guesses the contents of an image correctly, the starter must post the original, undistorted image. The winner of the round then becomes the starter for the next round, and must post a distorted image. The game repeats in this way.

Guidelines


Start a new thread every 15 pages to cut down on excessive bandwidth usage. This game is going to be pretty bandwidth-heavy.
At the start of a new thread, make an appropriate comment in the thread title recommending 56K (dialup) users not to view the thread, since it will most likely contain many images that will kill their connections.

Ensure that this is the first post made in each Distortion thread, so new players can grasp the concept of the game and get playing as quickly as possible.
The thread starter is responsible for keeping the scoreboard (in the first post of each thread) up-to-date.
Don't distort images that are going to be excessively hard to guess, like landscapes. It spoils the game. Try to stick to common, everyday items that people will stand a chance of guessing.
You may only guess a maximum of three times per round. Failure to observe this rule may result in your being unable to play in future.

Okay, let's get started. That's the easiest way to show you how to play if you're not completely sure. :)

For 3 points:

http://www.iphq.net/tpm/uploads/16387/distortion_001.jpg

This one's horrible. I probably should've rated it as 4, but I'm not that generous. ;)

Guess away! :)

[homeofmew]

ok Chris, it is a nipple.

[Chris]

You're way off with that one. :lookout:

[Aipom Of Doom]

It looks sort of like a lemon

[Chris]

Still way off... It's not a fruit. The best strategy is to try and work out which filters I've applied to it.

[Pichu]

ok Chris, it is a nipple.
:lol: XD

it look like a piece of soap. o0;

Edit: I wonder if this game have the rules of this...

=8= After you've made a post on a game, you have to wait until at least 2 more people have posted after you before posting again on that topic.

There are a few games excempt from this rule. They are Lingo, Hangman, Goldenrod Tower, Expedia, AC/CC Topics, Who's That Trainer, The Riddle Game and Questions Only. People playing Questions Only shall abide by the 5 posts a day rule. If you want to post a game and you consider that, for some reason, it should be excluded from this rule, state your reason to one of the mods and we will discuss it on a game by game basis.

>_>

[Zak]

I'll use my guess for this one... condom, perhaps?

~Zak

[Craig]

My guess is a pocket knife

[Chris]

Still none correct so far, but Craig is thinking along the right lines.

Pichu: I suppose that rule would work for everyone except the starter of each round... Though it kind of goes without saying, if you only have 3 guesses per round, you probably won't want to waste them all in 30 seconds. ;)

[Pichu]

I'll take my second stab at this...

It kind of look like some kind of spoon... :rolleyes:

[Toxicity]

Perhaps it's a spork? (if ya don't know, a spork is a spoon/fork hybrid)

[Chris]

Getting closer, but still not there yet... Maybe I should have given this 4 points.

[whistler]

sword

[Typact]

This is going to be way off.. X3

But to me, it kinda looks like a bow.. Like a bow-and-arrow bow? ^^;

[Thy]

I'm going to guess an upside down bowl.

[Pichu]

You know, it kind of look like one eyes . (unimportant)

but I think it really look more like shades / glasses more especially the lens part of it. You know, the top yellow part maybe part of the framing of the glasses and the gray part maybe is the lens itself... o_o;

*shrugs*

*sits back and watches everyone else post*

[Kris]

Is it a normal knife?

[Chris]

You're starting to go off-rail slightly, so I'll make it a bit easier:

http://www.iphq.net/tpm/uploads/16387/distortion_001b.jpg

Still for 3 points. :)

[kainashi]

ice cream scooper!

[Zak]

Frisbee maybe?

[mr_pikachu]

Question: Where can we find good images to distort, and more importantly, how do we distort them?

I think it may be a pen (as in writing), but I'm probably way, way off. *shrugs*

[Chris]

I think it may be a pen (as in writing), but I'm probably way, way off. *shrugs*

mr_pikachu wins! :)

Images to distort (http://www.google.com/imghp?hl=en&tab=wi&q=)
Programs (http://www.jasc.com/products/paintshoppro) to distort with (http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/main.html)

edit: if you're really desperate though, I'll help you out.

[mr_pikachu]

:scared: What the...?! $100 for one of those programs? I'm sorry, but unless it's free (or very close to it) I won't be able to come up with distortion images. It's just not worth 100 bucks for a forum game. That doesn't mean I won't participate in this game, though... I just may not be able to make images in return, until I can find a solution.

I am glad I won, though. But isn't there a program that can do it that you wouldn't have to pay for? It'd be irritating if you had to buy one of those massively overpriced packages just for distortion. (Heck, one of them cleared $600! :eek: )

[Pichu]

You can get Photoshop CS free from bitTorrents.. =P

http://www2.arnes.si/~sopjsimo/gimp/

just like photoshop but open source.

[mr_pikachu]

Okay, I can't find bitTorrents with a search, and I can't figure out how to use kainashi's program (or even get into it). I have a feeling I'm either installing that program wrong, or I'm trying to open the wrong file/application to start it up. Could someone walk me through it?

Sorry about the trouble, but I've never heard of most of these programs.


EDIT: Okay, Pichu sent me a helpful website. (Thanks, Pichu!) I'm downloading the necessary stuff right now... let's see... it's 43% complete... with 22 minutes to go. Whee.

When I get it working, I'll delete this post and make a new post with the new picture. Sorry for the delay. :sweat2:

Okay, so now that we all know what's happened and what's going on...

Here's the next picture!

http://www.sighost.us/members/mrpikachu/distortion1.jpg

It's for 3 points. Good luck!

[Typact]

I'm gonna say that's a cat. Laying on a green rug or something? XD

[shazza]

a bowl ?

[mr_pikachu]

Nope, neither of those are correct.

Has this been put under the exceptions in the post limit of the PCG rules? It would really help to have that, at least for the person who makes the image.

[Jay]

I thought that rule was gone.

I would like to see it at least removed. I doubt the only people left at TPM would abuse it when it isn't there.

[Tainted]

Ice cream.

Adieu,
Zak Hunter

[Toxicity]

A homecooked meal on a green placemat?

[nightcrow]

it's a DOG right??

[Thy]

A person with a white t-shirt sitting on the ground.

[Chris]

It has to be an animal of some sort... I've worked out 2 of the filters you applied to it, but I can't for the life of me work out the other(s)...

[Zak]

Could it be a white silk scarf?

~Zak

[Pichu]

It has to be an animal of some sort... I've worked out 2 of the filters you applied to it, but I can't for the life of me work out the other(s)...
Hmm.. is it possible to reverse the filters? I couldn't find the anti clockwise tool. x_x; (I know that's the wave tool) It maybe bloated a bit too.

Anyway, I think its a bird of some sort, maybe a white swan but let's not be so specific. I say it's a BIRD.

[mr_pikachu]

This round is over! The 3 points go to nightcrow, because this picture is indeed a dog!

http://www.sighost.us/members/mrpikachu/dog.jpg

Congrats, nightcrow! It's your turn!


P.S. Sorry, Typact. You were very close, but your guess was just slightly off. It was an excellent first guess, though. :yes:

[nightcrow]

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v120/dashira/690.jpg

I don't think this is too hard.. so I'll give this one a 2. If it proves to be harder than I thought, then I'll see about changing it to a 3. Have at it guys! :)

[mr_pikachu]

Ooh, that's a toughie! I think the points should probably be higher for that...

Um... is it a car? o_0 The coloration just kinda looks like it...

[nightcrow]

nope, not a car.

lol, maybe it should be worth more.. i guess since i know what the image is, it seems easy to guess for me. oops :sweat3: i'll ask chris` in the morn'.

[kainashi]

a goldfish?

[Andrew]

Its the SURPRISED smiley that's been messed around with.

If I get it, I won't be back on tonight when it is busiest here, so I'll let Zak take my turn for me.

[Cheesey]

It looks a little bit like a satellite to me... I don't know why, though.

[nightcrow]

Nope, none of the above.

[Pichu]

The two white things look like eyes to me, is it a cartoon of some sort?
The yellow and green hopefully is the background. Black is probably part of the body, and the yellow part looks like a shell... but with those huge eyes, it looks like a cartoon slug/snail

[Typact]

Is it a goldfish? Like.. Hiding behind something? o_O

[mr_pikachu]

Hm. I wonder if it's Bart Simpson...

[Chris]

I reckon this is fairly difficult...

It's clearly something animated. Maybe a smilie of some sort?

[kainashi]

should be a 4-5, in my opinion. it's too hard. :dead:

edit: no use putting in my guess, as goldfish was already guessed. :(

[nightcrow]

Nope, none of those were correct.

Hint: It's not animated :P and it is probably something everyone has.

Guess it should be worth more... i'll make it a 4. :)

[mr_pikachu]

Hmmm... could it be a computer, then? o_0

[nightcrow]

A computer is a pretty good guess, but nope.

[Typact]

To me, now they look like iPods or something. Or maybe a Gameboy?

[M1ND G4ME]

..Everyone has eyes, is it eyes?

[mr_pikachu]

Uh... a television set, perhaps?

[Pichu]

Can you reconstruct your image a bit? -- as did Chris did recontruct his image to help us -_-


lol, maybe it should be worth more.. i guess since i know what the image is, it seems easy to guess for me. oops :sweat3: i'll ask chris` in the morn'.
You know, that's pretty true. You can put like 5-6 filters on your image and you can still see it, if you know what it is. :x

Edit: I'll take my second guess: Is it a water tap? The two white things is the hot and cold control (i forgot what it called XD, .. faucet?) and the green is the back of the 'brick' of ur washroom, and yellow is the sink. :rolleyes:

[nightcrow]

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v120/dashira/6903.jpg

here's the picture, minus one filter. Now i think it's too easy. :(

[mr_pikachu]

This will probably sound stupid, but is it a tape measure?

[Pichu]

It really look like my old speakers for my computer for some reason. o_o;

[Toxicity]

It sort of looks like two cartons of milk in front of some cheese.

[nightcrow]

It really look like my old speakers for my computer for some reason. o_o;


Actually, you are correct!

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v120/dashira/6902.jpg

Your turn. :)

[Pichu]

Yay, victory! :)


http://www.iphq.net/tpm/uploads/22103/Distortion4.jpg

For 3 points now.

I'll see what other people say, if its too hard, I'll boost it to 4 points.

[Shadow Djinn]

Is that a dog? o_0; Looks a lot like it but I'm probably way off xD.

[shazza]

is it pichu or pikachu :025:

[Pichu]

is it pichu or pikachu :025:

You must be psychic. o_o; That just lasted one hour long. XD

http://www.iphq.net/tpm/uploads/22103/08KEY1.jpg

*hands over 3 points*

Your turn. :)

[shazza]

/me takes the 3 points and shoves them up my ass 8)

okay guys this is worth 2 points, it isn't that hard ;);)

http://www.iphq.net/tpm/uploads/15593/0001.jpg

[Kirei]

Hi Shazza is it in Onix? I really suck at this game lolz :196:

[shazza]

no i am sorry it is not an onix. :(:(

[Typact]

It looks kinda like.. That Ronald McDonald guy. O_O

[shazza]

yes it was quite easy. ;)

http://www.iphq.net/tpm/uploads/15593/r_mcdonald.jpg

may you enjoy your two points!! 8)

[Typact]

Hehe, thank you. ^^

http://members.cox.net/typact6/a77lb2.jpg

There's the next one. I'll start it at 3 points, but maybe it'll become 4 if it's too hard. Or maybe it's too easy... XD

Good luck!

[Chris]

Christ, this thread has become busy. Scores on first page are updated now, by the way. :)

Typact: A telephone, maybe?

[Pichu]

It looks like the ghost in Pokemon FRLG XD

Hmm, is it a balloon

[Chris]

I was about to guess balloon too, but I thought it would have been too obvious. I was thinking that maybe the squiggle at the bottom might not be as obvious as what we think it is...

[Zak]

Could it be a skylight?

~Zak

[nightcrow]

I'll be more specific and guess a hot-air balloon.

[Typact]

Why, yes, yes it is. Congrats, nightcrow. :3

http://members.cox.net/typact6/a77lb.jpg

I guess that was a little too easy. ^^;

[Pichu]

I got a question about the rules (improving)

I think the person who posts the picture set the number of points. Then each time the person who posts the picture require the picture to be reconstructed a little bit, then the points the picture which is worth should be dropped 1 point. That'll be more fair I guess. :rolleyes:

(sorry, its a bit confusing, I feeling tipsy o0 ... al .. co .. hol? =P)

[nightcrow]

okay, here it is.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v120/dashira/d2.jpg

i'll give it 3 points for now.

[Yoh Asakura]

Looks like a stereo~

[Pichu]

Isn't that a Gameboy advanced? o_o;

[kainashi]

okay, here it is.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v120/dashira/d2.jpg

i'll give it 3 points for now.is that your mp3 player? :mad:

[nightcrow]

Nope, none of the above. You guys are quite close though.. ;)

[kainashi]

that's your cell phone. :notfunny:

[nightcrow]

that's your cell phone. :notfunny:

yes it's a cellphone, even though it's not mine. mine is cooler :tongue:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v120/dashira/cellphone.jpg

your turn, ho.

[kainashi]

your turn, ho.takes one to know one. ;o

give me a few and i'll have one ready.

edit: worth 4 points.

http://home.comcast.net/~kainashi86/hehe.jpg

[Pichu]

this maybe silly, ... it looks like a fake moustache. xD

[Zak]

A kitty?

~Zak

[kainashi]

neither of you are right. :(

[Chris]

Firefox logo? ;)

[Zak]

Probably wrong, but a whale?

~Zak

[kainashi]

nope, both wrong. :D

[shazza]

is that a slug :rolleyes2:

[Pichu]

Chris, have you given any thought of adding the new rule I previously posted?

Such that... each time the distorted image is reconstructed once, the point value of the picture decreases by 1. Since when it is reconstructed, it is immediately a lot easier, so it doesn't worth that many points. The points shall decrease until it reaches 1.

:rolleyes:

[kainashi]

is that a slug :rolleyes2:i'm afraid not.

[shazza]

:(:(

is that a tornado :rolleyes2

[kainashi]

:(:(

is that a tornado :rolleyes2no, tornados don't go sideways. :mad:

[shazza]

this is my last guess :(

chris edit: guess removed

[Chris]

Such that... each time the distorted image is reconstructed once, the point value of the picture decreases by 1. Since when it is reconstructed, it is immediately a lot easier, so it doesn't worth that many points. The points shall decrease until it reaches 1.

That's probably a good idea, but you didn't phrase it that well in your previous post...

Added to the guidelines section. Thanks for the idea. :)

[nightcrow]

It's probably a trashcan ;o

AM I RITE??

[kainashi]

It's probably a trashcan ;o

AM I RITE??NO.

here it is but less distorted. :yawn:

http://home.comcast.net/~kainashi86/hehe2.jpg

[Craig]

is it a boot?

[Kris]

It looks so much like a slug but you said it wasnt!

Is it a caterpillar?

[kainashi]

both wrong.

[homeofmew]

is it a butterfly?

[kainashi]

is it a butterfly?no, it is not but that's *kind of* close.

[Chris]

A squirrel, perhaps? If you zoom out a lot, it does look quite similar.

[kainashi]

A squirrel, perhaps? If you zoom out a lot, it does look quite similar.no but it does fly though.

[Andrew]

A sugar Glider.

That is my guess

[Heald]

A bird.

[kainashi]

both wrong. :yawn:

[Kris]

A helicopter!!!

[Pichu]

It looks like ... a dragon? o0;

[kainashi]

A helicopter!!!close but no cigar. :wave:

[mr_pikachu]

A moth, maybe?

[kainashi]

A moth, maybe?no, sir. :)

[homeofmew]

is it an airplane?

[Aipom Of Doom]

space shuttle?

[kainashi]

is it an airplane?finally. your turn.


http://home.comcast.net/~kainashi86/hehe3.jpg

[Kris]

I was so close!!! Damn damn damn.

Wow thats one hell of a plane...

[shazza]

hey homeofmew, i have an idea !! hurry up !! :idea:

[homeofmew]

what I got it right? omg :(
ok I got an idea but it will have to wait a few hours untill I get home from school
(October 12th 04, around 5-6pm EST)

[homeofmew]

actually i got it now yay for you all 3 points will go down to 2 after easier version is given
http://fumidasukoto.com/files/HardQ.jpg

[VirtualPlay]

Haha, the method I used to figure it out made it pop out at me suddenly. Although I still have two possible guesses, I will choose to guess:

a wolf

[kainashi]

a dog.

[Pichu]

*cough* ... its her hamster ... *cough*

Edit: Chris, you should've gave homeofmew 3 points, since Kainashi reconstructed his image once. >_<
Edit: Since a new rule is out, shall we recalculate how many points we have allocated?

Let's see... It shouldn't be too hard.

Pichu - 3
homeofmew - 3
mr. pikachu - 1 <-- you reconstructed your image twice, Chris! XD

I think that's right. :x (just wanna be fair.)

[Kris]

Ill say fox

[Tainted]

A unicorn...

If I get any of these right someone will have to do the distortion for me, as I don't feel like doing it even though I have photoshop.

Adieu,
Zak Hunter

[Heald]

I say horse.

[Toxicity]

I'm thinking of an arctic fox to be specific.

[homeofmew]

ok round over virtual play got it right :)
it is indeed a wolf.
http://fumidasukoto.com/personal/answer.jpg

[VirtualPlay]

Alrighty then! W00tness and stuff, here's the next one!

Starting out at a mega FOUR (4) points!

http://www.virtualplay.net/distortion_01/4_points.jpg

[shazza]

i have no ****ing idea.

a tentacruel :laugh:

[Typact]

A teddy bear? O_o

[Andrew]

Its a Hot Dog Stand!

[homeofmew]

is it a tentacool?

[VirtualPlay]

Well, I guess 4 points was right to put it as.

shazza: you are vaguely close in one aspect…but I won't tell you which one yet.

Typact: you're also partially close, but in a different aspect. Again, I won't say just yet which one.

Oz: Um, no. Not even close in any respect.

homeofmew: see shazza's answer

[Heald]

Some kind of Pokémon Doll?

[Pichu]

I looks like a polar bear. o0;

[Zak]

Is it Blue from Blue's Clues?

~Zak

[Toxicity]

Maybe it's an Azurill?

[homeofmew]

is it a Poliwag?

[shazza]

how about a marill

[kainashi]

is it stitch? :idea:

[Kris]

A blue dog?

[Craig]

is it the statue of Romulus and Remus sucking on the wolves nipples?

[mr_pikachu]

A fish?

Yay for generalization! :D

[VirtualPlay]

Haha, maybe I should have started this at five…this really is stumping people.

Everyone so far is wrong, most of them completely off the line. Here's a hint: try and figure out which filters I've applied. I will post a less-distorted version after a few more guesses.

[kainashi]

Here's a hint: try and figure out which filters I've applied.no shit, sherlock. :rolleyes:

it looks really familiar but i can't figure it out. misdreavus or is it even a pokemon? :cry:

[VirtualPlay]

Okay, I'll give one more hint and wait for a couple more guesses before I post a less-distorted image.

Hint: It's not a Pokémon, or anything on the show (or in the game) Pokémon.

[Kris]

I think blue teddy bear. At least tell us how close we are...

[kainashi]

Okay, I'll give one more hint and wait for a couple more guesses before I post a less-distorted image.

Hint: It's not a Pokémon, or anything on the show (or in the game) Pokémon.i'm sorry but we'll need some better hints than that, mr. photoshop expert.

[mr_pikachu]

Is it that famous painting with the guy screaming?


P.S. We should probably repost the image every time there's a new page (even if we don't clarify it any). That would make it so that we wouldn't have to search through all the pages to find the image.

[VirtualPlay]

Well, nobody has guessed quite right yet, so I've decided to post a less distorted version. Point value is now at 3.

http://www.virtualplay.net/distortion_01/3_points.jpg

Of course, now I think it looks too easy. But oh well.

[Zak]

Kiro (sp?) from cardcaptorsakura?

~Zak

[VirtualPlay]

Yeah, I was right, it did look too easy.

By the way, it's Kero, from Kerberus (not Cerberus like TokyoPop translates it to).

http://www.virtualplay.net/distortion_01/kero.jpg

And just for kicks, the progression I went through to get it distorted:

1. Inverse
http://www.virtualplay.net/distortion_01/1_point.jpg

2. Glass (Photoshop, Filter:Distort:Glass)
http://www.virtualplay.net/distortion_01/2_points.jpg

3. Fresco (Photoshop, Filter:Artistic:Fresco)
http://www.virtualplay.net/distortion_01/3_points.jpg

4. Sprayed Strokes (Photoshop, Filter:Brush Strokes:Sprayed Strokes)
http://www.virtualplay.net/distortion_01/4_points.jpg

Yeah, it was fun to make it. Your turn Zak.

[Pichu]

hmm.. I've never seen card captor anime before. xD

[kainashi]

we're not all waps here, you know.

[Zak]

Alright... this may be too easy, but I didn't have much time. In too much of a rush to upload, so I'll attach it. Later, I'll probably upload and edit this post.

EDIT: almost forgot, 3 points.

~Zak

[attachment deleted by admin]

[kainashi]

Alright... this may be too easy, but I didn't have much time. In too much of a rush to upload, so I'll attach it. Later, I'll probably upload and edit this post.

~Zakis it NURSE JOY?

[Zak]

LOL. Nope.

~Zak

[kainashi]

is it YOU?

[Pichu]

Is it Iya - gym leader Koga's sister?

Edit: I just realized .. its page 11 already! @_@;

[Zak]

is it YOU?

Wow, that sure lasted quick... not sure if it was that easy or randomly out of the blue, but that's right.

http://www.iphq.net/tpm/uploads/18063/Zak2.JPG

Btw, I've posted it a few times in whatever version of the pic topic we had, in case anyone's questioning the fairness and likelyhood of anyone getting it.


Have fun with three points... your go.

~Zak

[kainashi]

here's mine. 2 points. http://home.comcast.net/~kainashi86/hitlerdance.gif

http://home.comcast.net/~kainashi86/distort.jpg

[Pichu]

its a red balloon

[Toxicity]

Maybe the heart-like image on the cover of The Used's recent album?

[shazza]

ummm how the flying **** are we supposed to know who Kero is...

is it a cherry

[mr_pikachu]

I'm guessing an apple.

[Andrew]

I've got a horrible feeling its that guy from Goatse

[kainashi]

I'm guessing an apple.you guessed right. :)

ummm how the flying **** are we supposed to know who Kero is...

That's part of the reason I put it at 4 points to start. Although if it had been a harder-to-recognize character I would have put it at five.

Although you know, not everyone is as animé-less as you. :wave:

[mr_pikachu]

Wow, I got another one? Nice. Well, here's the next one. It's worth 4 points to start.

Good luck! :)

[Andrew]

A toy train set?

[Heald]

A fish.

[Zak]

ummm how the flying **** are we supposed to know who Kero is...

is it a cherry

I never even WATCH CardCRAPtors and I know who he is...

Is it a pebble on a sandy beach?

~Zak

[Craig]

a clam?

[Chris]

Scores updated on the first page. I haven't been round enough lately to go through the thread and update scores, sorry.

mr_pikachu: It looks a lot like a fox staring up at the camera. :what:

[Pichu]

I think it looks like a snail. o0;

[shazza]

a piece of shit

[Everoy]

This is probably wrong...

Ladybug.

[Chris]

shazza: stop being a dumbass or stop posting here.

[Heald]

shazza: stop being a dumbass or stop posting here.Sorry Chris, but I'd have to agree with shazza. It kinda does look like a toilet with a piece of...ahem, crap in it. I'm not sure whether shazza was being serious or not but I want that to be my next guess.

[shazza]

i actually think it does look like that though. :rolleyes:

is it an oyster or something.

[kainashi]

a ladybug.

[Toxicity]

A wooly worm (or whatever the actual name is)?

[Heald]

*psst* This is the part where you say that everyone is wrong and give us a completely unhelpful hint e.g. 'try and work out the filters'.

*psst* This is the part where you say that everyone is wrong and give us a completely unhelpful hint e.g. 'try and work out the filters'.

Actually, this is the part where I come back from Houston and get back to my computer. :sweat:

None of these guesses are correct, so I'll remove one filter...

It's now worth 3 points.

http://www.sighost.us/members/mrpikachu/distortion3.gif

This is much easier now... think you can get it?

[shazza]

is it an emu

[mr_pikachu]

No, not an emu. Sorry.

[Heald]

It's a marble.

[Craig]

a gemstone of sorts.

[Andrew]

I think that its a PS2.

[mr_pikachu]

Uh... no, no, and no. Look at all the aspects of this picture.

Oh, and try to work out the filters. ;)

[Pichu]

Oh, and try to work out the filters. ;)

I think I'm delusional or something, cuz I don't see what's changed from the previous picture. o0;

[Toxicity]

Is it a hermit crab?

[mr_pikachu]

I think I'm delusional or something, cuz I don't see what's changed from the previous picture. o0;

Hm. Maybe I should remove two filters next time. It does look different to me, though.

And no, it's not a hermit crab. Sorry.

[VirtualPlay]

No clue, but I want in.

Is it a spider?

[mr_pikachu]

No clue, huh?

Then you're psychic. Yes, it is a spider! Here's the picture:

http://www.sighost.us/members/mrpikachu/spider.gif

Good job!

[VirtualPlay]

Well then, I guess I'll get one of these thingies up now.

I apologize in advance, I put an insanely difficult filter on at the end. So therefore it's really hard and I start it at…

5 Points
http://www.virtualplay.net/distortion_02/5_points.jpg

[kainashi]

is it ARTICUNO, ZAPDOS, and MOLTRES? ;o

[Toxicity]

The box for Candy Land?

[Pichu]

Erm... the insides of a Kaleidoscope?

[VirtualPlay]

Not quite, not at all, and nowhere close.

kainashi is the closest of you three, but it's not a Pokémon (or again, anything related to the Pokémon games).

[Heald]

Is it a bunch of fish/dolphins leaping in and out of the sea?

[Zak]

Is it the Powerpuff Girls?

~Zak

[VirtualPlay]

No, and no.

CLUE AHEAD:
Just so you know from Zak's answer, it's not the "trio" thing that I was referring to when I said kainashi was closest. I was actually referring to the "video game" aspect of his answer.

There, it's related somehow to (a) video game(s). No more hints, just lesser-distorted pictures from now on.

[Pichu]

You know... the colors of the thing on the bottom right? It looks like Samus Aran (maybe Varia suit or something). o0;

[Heald]

I swear it's a dolphin - Ecco the Dolphin? The middle thing looks like a pearl and the third Ecco game was called something like Ecco 3 - The Pearl of (something)

[VirtualPlay]

Alright, you're obviously getting way too confused by the last filter I applied. The picture is not curved at all, and here is the filter removed. Now for

[Craig]

[Pichu]

Isn't that a lil' too general? :rolleyes:

I need more time to post my next guess, since I got one more left. ;-;

[Moonlight Espeon]

It looks like a Blastoise, Ariados and a Kirlia all in one pic o.o

edit: is it a BLUE TIGER?

[Aipom Of Doom]

Is it an orange tiger? Named Tigger?

[mr_pikachu]

Is it Odin attacking someone in a Final Fantasy game?

[Cheesey]

See this is why you shouldn't let Mac users play things like this, th arty farty tools on them are far too good. My sister has an iMac and she can do crazy art and graphic design and stuff...

Um. It looks a bit like a bear throwing a leaf.

[VirtualPlay]

Well, nobody is correct yet, but mr_pikachu is the closest one so far. Another couple of guesses and another filter will be removed. (See, this is why it started at 5 points.)

[kainashi]

how about picking something that more than 5 people would know next time, huh? 8)

Your so mean, this is way to hard!!!

Is it a ummmmmm flower?

[Heald]

Yuna.

[VirtualPlay]

Nope, not quite, but you're on the right track, Heald. One more filter removed and now it's down to

3 Points
http://www.virtualplay.net/distortion_02/3_points.jpg

[Heald]

Is it Rikku?

[VirtualPlay]

Heald: going in the right direction in one aspect, but not the one you're probably thinking of.

And your avatar is…disturbing…

[Pichu]

Heald: Have you read the rules? You already guessed 4 times.
The "LAW" says you can have maximum of 3 guesses in each round.

I think it is those spiky 'bob-ombs' in Mario 64 ... I don't know what you call them.. those big round walking bombs with spikes on the head and with the key thing on behind. (esp. in the Lava Land)

*shrug*

What are you, the new PCG Police..?

It looks like a snowman. Is it the snowman from the snow level in Banjo-Kazooie? :D

[Pichu]

I hat people who don't obey rules, that's all. It really annoys me =P

[kainashi]

I hat people who don't obey rules, that's all. It really annoys me =P from chris' rules: Don't distort images that are going to be excessively hard to guess, like landscapes. It spoils the game. Try to stick to common, everyday items that people will stand a chance of guessing.

is virtualplay obeying that? i thought so. start "hat"ing him. ;o

Jeez, I try to pick things that I think people would be familiar with. I thought more people would know who Kero is, and I thought this one was even too easy at 4 points. Maybe next time I won't alter the colors, since that seems to be what throws everybody off.

[mr_pikachu]

Now that I look at it a little bit more, it sorta looks like a moogle...

[Heald]

You may only guess a maximum of three times per round.I doubt this is going to be a common, everyday item. Plus, I have only guessed everytime VP has undistorted the image (if you count me posting dolphins twice as once...:D). But I won't post any more, considering the rules and the fact that I have no idea either.

[Toxicity]

It's kinda starting to look like Bowser to me.

[shazza]

i thought VirtualPlay was a he :(

it looks like some girl on something.... :(

[VirtualPlay]

And a moogle it is! Mog from FF:CC, to be more precise, but I don't really care about the specifics.
