Well, I'm having a little LAN party this coming week end, nothing big really, just some close friends coming over to ... well kill each other.

Anyway, I ordered a cake, because cakes kick ass, and this is the design I have for it.

click on it to make it bigger


The print out is MUCH higher quality of that of course. I printed it out at something like 300.

Anyway, what do you guys think of the deisgn ... please refrain from bashing some of the games shown in the design.

Oh, also one more thing, it's mostly just a compisite of screen shots, the text however, is the one thing that is made from scratch.

I'll post some poor digital photos of the actual cake on sunday or something to see how it actually turns out.

[EDIT]
Yes, I do know how much of a geek I am ... so no need to point it out. lol

Saturday all day, starts when I wake up lol ... not many people are going to be there, like 4 total, not to mention I have to bring extention cables from the inside out of my house out to the garage for power because there's ONE DAMNED outlet in my entire garage, and it's being used by a freezer.

Im still waiting on the news item to come up. But yes it has changed. I have to fix it up a little bit and add more areas (and lights) and a few more CT spawns. But it will be playable by Saturday. I'll PM you a link tomorow night (same time as today about). That gives me plenty of time to work on it.

As well, whats that guy with the UZI, thats a ubi soft game I think right?

PM me with a link ... the weird thing is it would possibly be faster for you to drop it off on a CD (jk).

Yeah, XIII, and I think me and my friends are like the only people on Earth who actually like that game lol.


Also, if you guys are done whoring out my thread to your merciless map pimping, I'd like to get some feed back on my design lol. [addsig]

I found it quite wierd. Looks nice because its original and the black border makes it look cool, but gameplay scares me. [addsig]

I'm getting it from Albertsons. They just print whatever 8x10 piece of paper you bring in onto edible paper with edible ink (which tastes like frosting I believe) then the 'decorator' places it on top of the cake. In this case, since the cake will be white it will probably absorb the ink and the paper will dissolve, which will make the picture that much blurrier lol. They literally print it out by the way ? their printer is a Lexmark, I saw it. I think Baskin and Robbins does it too but with Ice Cream. I remember some other place took it and laid it down then asked what areas you wanted '3-d' they'd then layer it with icing ? that would kind of make you sick in this case since no one does anything other then Whipped icing or Buttermilk, bleh.

My sister had a similar thing done for the rehersal dinner before she got married, only it was a picture of her and her husband. I thought it had to be done somwhere special.

I must say though, it was allot of fun gouging out my sister's eyes and eating them

I was going to make a critique, but I said to myself, hey, why not make the changes yourself.

I think that sums up my opinion on 'XIII'.
