Lan Party Cake Design

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

Nice pic there. Unfortunatly, I have to comment. Wheres the UT:GOTY pics? Thats the best LAN party game ever.

me dreams of CRGS with the 20 ppl lan party and the reason they nicknamed me slayer

By the way, GEEK! :biggrin:

Taking that no one I know even likes Unreal Tournament ... we wont be playing it. Sorry, I don't 'dig' most of it's game play.

Oh and ... whoops, I'll fix that in a second.

I loved it. Could you do me a favor though? Whens this LAN party starting? And how many players?

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.

Its refrain you fool :biggrin:

Cool cause if I get the time tomorow, perhaps you guys could give my map a test run, even though its only half finished (layout wise) and missing a bomb point.

what the bejosus, sorry again ... I seriously don't even remember typing the word in the first place (read thread on typing for more info)

Third times'a charm :smile:

Yes, now back on topic you thread-jacker!

Cool, PM me the location and we can slaughter each other in it for awhile. Cause you changed it from the last version you gave me, right?

Raises hand me too, me too! I've got a map that needs testing!

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 :biggrin: ) 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.

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

M-M-M-Monster Kill!

Sorry, I saw UT and couldn't resist. DM on that with like 10 people is awesome.

The design is very cool. where do you get a cake like that made?

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.

mmmm cake

What flavor?

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 :biggrin:

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'.

LOL

Masterpiece.

...Thanks cass, because that was completly constructive and exactly what I was looking for in feed back :rolleyes:

I'd like to think that pictures I make in five minutes with MSPaint saved twice over for extra JPEG compression would be considered slightly less serious than some of my other works.

The picture (the original that is ) itself I like. It's pretty clean, and I was glad to see some nice touches on the opacity of some of the features (like the 'BANG!' being more transparent). It could use a little more stuff to fill up the space, but it seems fine how it is.

Thanks. I was in a bad mood earlier, sorry. Some 'things' weren't working as they should.

As for the opacity of the "BANG" I'd like to take credit for it but it's one thing I didn't produce on the image, unlike everything else (besides the actual renderings of the models and images). It's mostly composite.

I couldn't really think of anything to place in the upper left. Maybe another yellow box

I would have done more work on the picture as a whole if I had more then just this morning to work on it (Better layout of items, emphasis of other games, etc. etc.)

lol Cass I'd like to see someone turn that into a cake without dying an icy death.

I'm not "down with the kids" these days, but are cakes l337? (Do you use words like that any more?!) Get a pizza with icing like that instead! btw looks good to me, can you fit some Quake/whatever goodness on the left? And is it chocolate?

I watched a program that talked about those cake "transfers" (for lack of a better word) and it fuses with the icing, and the paper has no flavour itself. So technically it tastes like the icing you use.

No, Lep, it isn't a chocolate cake.

Actually, it seems to be a sugar paper ... that DOES have a tase, however, since the frosting is whipped they don't taste nearly the same ....

I would change it... if I didn't already have the cake lol. The bastards did a TERRIBLE job in transfering it over ... have the s**t on the cake is green from after only being on there for 2 hours ... also for some reason they put ribbons and ballons on the damn thing when I told them not to. They also made grooves in the frosting so it didn't look very good ... tastes fine though.

Anyway, It's late ... I should be getting to bed ...

RUINED CAKE = RUINED NIGHT.

Don't be a bitch, if they did a terrible job rip their f**king faces off.

Keep pondering... and for god's sake keep it to yourself.
