TCancer Gallery goes live!

[DarkUnderlord]

<strong>[ Update ]</strong>

We've finally decided to stop pinching bandwidth from other places and instead just steal the images and upload them to our own gallery instead! Sometimes we might even upload some shots we take ourselves. Either way, <a href="http://www.tacticularcancer.com/gallery.php">you can find our spanky new gallery here</a> and check out the <a href="http://www.tacticularcancer.com/gallery.php?dir=GalCiv2">really cool GalCiv2 shots</a> we've stolen.

Great! Now we just need to wait until devs start giving us exclusive screenshots so we can stop stealing them from Gamespot and 3dgamers!

 

[Jason]

Actually, we didn't take anything from Gamespot or 3D Gamers. They mark all their shots with logos. Most all of these shots are from the publishers/developers, which is where Gamespot/3D Gamers/IGN/etc get their shots. We're 93% legit now.

 

[DarkUnderlord]

Oohhh... A TCancer watermark for our images. Now there's a thought. Could add one automagically whenever you upload a file.

 

[Naked_Lunch]

Go for it. Then no one will question our status as a semi-professional strategy gaming site and part-time gay bar.

 

[Jason]

No one questions the last part at all.

You guys need some kind of logo first. And then make that the watermark, and make it fill 3/4 of the picture.

 

[Naked_Lunch]

We have our own logo dammit

it's the funny chap under the "we'll have your balls!"

I call him Splatt.

Only 3/4? I was thinking more like 4/5ths or perhaps even 9/10ths.

I still can't find the font Shagnak used to create that banner though.

... and suddenly, DU remembers that he did in fact ask Shagnak in IRC once and so he delves deep into his logs to retrieve...

[12] <DarkUnderlord> What font did you use in the header?
[12] <Shagnak> errm
[12] <Shagnak> whimsy?
[12] <Shagnak> i think it was called that

It doesn't look like any Whimsy I've been able to find.

 

[HoodRich]

it's the funny chap

I see. Well, he does look like he has tacticular cancer.


Anyways since i enjoy the previews on this site i thought i'd help you guys out in designing a proper watermark.

 

[Jason]

That's nice, but you can still see too much of the screenshot. Needs more logo.

 

[Naked_Lunch]

I call him Splatt.

The official name for him is Susan, but you can call him Splatt if you'd like.

And yeah, the watermark's waay too small. good effort, though.

What font did you use? It's not the same but it's closer than anything I can find.

 

[HoodRich]

The writing in the banner reminded me of the ren and stimpy font, so i just used that.

 

[Atrokkus]

Yeah, Susan can be used as a good logo. In fact, I will incorporate this ever-gleeful chap in the site design.

 

[Naked_Lunch]

You better.

 

[Diogo Ribeiro]

 

[Naked_Lunch]

Put Susan on the flag and it'll be gold.

 

[Diogo Ribeiro]

Done.

 

[Naked_Lunch]

Brilliant.

 

[Jason]

That's awesome. It makes me want to kill something, but in the good way.

You should horizonal-reverse that (and fix the text, of course). The having of the balls part should be under the D: smiley, as well, and the title should be more to the top.

What. Did you just spent 5 minutes doing that in Flash?

 

[HoodRich]

Breathtaking.

 

[Naked_Lunch]

bluh blah blah

Do you seriously think we'll listen to you?

 

[Diogo Ribeiro]

5 in Photoshop, just for kicks.
