I don’t usually like to post blogs that are just a pointer to another internet address, to be dereferenced … ah, yes, anyway, but I’ve stopped by Something Awful a lot recently. I never used to go there, but I stumbled across the ROM Pit, and laughed my amble buttocks off. I’ve explored the Photoshop Phridays and other odds and ends. I particularly like those, or any image-manipulation joke.
I took part in something similar once, I created an altered version of a source image where there was a guy standing in the midground (thus having to mirror a part of that tree by the house and fill in some shadow detail) and also the boy hadn’t actually rammed the firehose in the girl’s back, that was an alteration too. And there was a water stream in the left that I totally excised (from the girl). For some reason it’s a popular image, this one Myspace account hotlinked to it for some reason. I was going to alter my selective filter to use the No-Hotlink-For-You image but I decided not to bother until my bandwidth starts to suffer, which will probably be never at my current monthly visitation rate.
Anyway, back to Something Awful. I’ve been browsing over some altered Choose Your Own Adventure book covers, and I laughed pretty hard at most of them. Then I saw this one, and I fell in love. Here it is, not hotlinked to avoid ire, the creator was one softbomb.
I am happy.
