Hehe... I know this comes a bit late, but stupid me forgot to post the frames I have since two weeks ago <.<" But since you got some now anyways, I guess it doesn't matter anymore. Also, I'd go for the complete game.

I've played all games from both series, and they play completely different. InFamous lets you decide how you want to use your power: Do you want to protect the innocents, or do you want to become the king of a living hell? The way your power develops depends strongly on your moral decisions, or more precisely, your karma: By doing good deeds, like saving injured people, you become more and more heroic, which affects your abilities: For example, your granades (which consist of pure electricity), will be able to bind your enemies when beaten. Also, if you become a hero, the crowd will support you when you fight, like throwing stones on your enemies, to buy you time while recharging. You can also become a villain, your attacks will be more destructive, and the people will fear you. Absorbing the bio-electricity stored in humans (both innocents and enemies) will give you a bad reputation, but is also a way to recharge your batteries in areas without any electricity (remember, the city has suffered heavily). The game's ending also changes whether you've been a hero or a villain. It also affects the sequel, InFamous 2, if you load your savestat. Prototype on the other hand... It follows a linear storyline. Of course, it's open world, but the story will always be the same, even if you do some story missions in different order. It's about revenge, and it will be as bloody as it can get. Cutting enemies and bystanders in half, absorbing them to restore your health, and doing all kinds of nasty things to those who stand in your way. Different powers that you can level up (Prototype 2 features a pretty nice skill leveling system)... everything to make you the perfect weapon. People will always fear you... because they're just prey to you, the perfect, constantly evolving predator. Aaaanyway, both games have their charm... but I prefer InFamous, for it lets me live out my inner hero. I dunno, I'm still unsure whether I'll buy the game or not... so far the only reasons that I wouldn't buy it were that it was missing Cole and any Protagonist from Assassin's Creed. With Cole joining in, it's worth a thought... but not enough yet for me to spend 60€ on the game, especially when AC3 is coming out at a similar time.

I just realized that I was missing a feedback-thread, so I'm changing that. Link to "Xiltas picks up the pen" I'd be happy about feedback, and constructive criticism^^

Okay, I know there was one comment (which was not helpful at all), which isn't here anymore... Doesn't matter, I guess. So yeah, I tried myself on a poem this time. Hope you like it: It happened again, without me realizing it. The hours went by faster than I noticed. The night has advanced. My mind is restless, searching for an answer I already know I won't find. I look everywhere, to find a cure for the anxiety driving me. I don't know how many texts I've read, how many people I've listened to... So many voices, but is there truth among them? Or is it just the sad cry of those who feel let down by the creators? A last ray of hope, but of questionable validity? The question that's haunting me... that's haunting them... Was his death a lie? Did his journey really end? Or was it just a mirage, created by those who wield Death as their name, to fulfill their sinister goal? Is the journey over? With such an unsatisfying destination? We cling to one last straw, refusing to let it go... That it was only an illusion, that the journey has yet to come to an end. Time passes... and I continue to hope. Yet it seems... that this last ray of hope is only an illusion that we created for ourselves. To ignore the fact that the tale... is over. The shepherd guiding us is gone. Well, any guesses what I wrote about?

Okay, so I just finished 3D today. Aside from the secret ending (which I didn't achieve ._. short of 2 trophies on normal), the secret message hints that

*Shrug* Well, yeah. Though it's not up to me to end this. It's Mew's job this time^^" I'd like for her to officially announce you the winner first, if that's okay.^^

Well, I guess the round is over?

KH3 would make most sense, but I fear we're not going to see it until PS4... Square Enix didn't even start on it yet (I mean, I'm really looking forward to FF:VersusXIII, especially since it's similar to KH, but I want a new console KH nonetheless >.<), and since chances are high PS4/XBox360 will be shown next year during E3... I could imagine they're going for the next PS. Which sucks.

Got it today, and I'm quite satisfied so far. I hope this carries on ^^ Now I wonder what the next KH will be ò.ô Or rather, which console/handheld it would use. Also, wasn't there something about a BbS-sequel with Aqua?

Looks great as usual :) My personal favo char would be Chester, he reminds me a bit of a more grown-up Azel. @eCut: I believe I've heard that there are no commands for "Dance" or anything in the RPG Maker. Also Bennet reminds me somewhat of Marcus, and Deacon... well, I agree, he doesn't look much like a bard, but still awesome. His beard looks a lot like mine... only that mine is brown, with a lot of red pigments.

Considering that would be "Meliwood", no. Also Meliwood doesn't seem to have underwear.

Well, isn't about time to come to a conclusion?

What about gender bending Bramimond? That would be the most tricky one to sprite. Harder than Gheb?

Okay, if THIS round does not give the contest the attention that it deserves, I don't know what else could. Maybe gender-bent Lucius?

Krom, Zoroark, Shulk, Matthew (from Golden Sun) are the characters I expect for SSB4... Ghirahim could be possible, but I think it'd be rather unlikely. Young Link 3D is more likely than Toon Link again (that means, if the next Handheld Zelda won't have the Cel Shading Style). I'm not sure if Ganondorf could be replaced by Demise... while the first one is a Veteran, Demise is a much more actual character, and something like Ganondorf's predecessor. They also have a similar style... *shrug*

Born in Oberpullendorf, then lived in Vienna for a while (while my father was still a policeman). When I was 3 years old, he got a job in the government... I dunno if there's a corresponding equivalent in the USA, doesn't really matter. At that point, we moved to Eisenstadt, and still live here. Funnily, the only one of us who was born here is my younger sister, she's turning 16 on 11th September.

Looks interesting, I believe this round is going to be one of the better ones so far o.o

Maybe someone should make a hack with gender swapped characters. Also interesting sprite, it reminds me of a mix of Disney's Aladdin and Ninian. Aladian?

I just checked the threat again, but I'm only able to find Nova's, Sea Lion's and Mew's. Which other ones do you mean?

I'll probably ease the rule in the future, if the low number of entries continues. It's just that I could see no resemblance to her at all... Also, I only know of one sprite I didn't accept ò.ô

I guess we can call it a day. Or four days. Anyways, looking at the poll, the winner is clear! Congrats, Mew, you get to choose the next sprite within two days, otherwise Sea Lion does (within 2 days), and we all know the rest. Send the suggestion via PM^^ Next Time we should wait until there are at least 3 sprites, I guess...

I'll be going with this one. Finally I got an idea. I'm not exactly confident with the collar-bone, but it looks better than previous versions. Also the first time I successfully sprited a naked, male upper body.

I doubt it was his left hand. Spidey is always right. @Hawkeye: Yes, that's also something that's interesting me. Practically anything that involves love, relationships and sexuality about fictional characters. I mean, could you imagine Bruce Wayne as a 13 year old boy, unsure how to approach his first crush and secretly masturbates in his bedroom thinking about her?

@Adolf: Sorry, forgot about that, but it's not that dramatic, don't you think?
