Resident Evil 5 and Bioshock were the reason I asked if the zombies had to be undead.  Silly technicalities :P.

Just sent mine in :).  That was fun, but the tricks I learned in Scavenator still apply.

This should be fun :).  The scavenger hunts were entertaining, so I'll enjoy this.

Quick question: do the zombies need to be undead, or do anything that could be called a zombie in a colloquial situation count?

The arts are an excellent means of expression and should be appreciated. I enjoy making images in GIMP or Inkscape, and I listen to a lot of music. True, it's not necessary, but it's enjoyable :).

Let your foot decide :). Choose what is most comfortable. I'm sure your local running/athletic equipment store isn't carrying shoddy merchandise, so whatever fits best is the way to go. I used to wear Nike Pegasus, but I've since switched to Saucony Hurricanes. Whatever fits my poor little narrow feet best :P.

Thumbnails below. Seems better for viewing the content, and everything is still nicely visible. However, this is on my 1680x1050 monitor. If I switch over to my 1024x768 monitor, I can't see the image and the thumbnails at load without scrolling, so I would rather have the image on top, so it can be seen immediately.

I'm using Mozilla Firefox 3.0.7 with a compact theme on Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit.

Most of what I remember is voting for Castle Crashers :P.

But if memory serves correctly, I remember these:

Game of the Year
Best Xbox 360 Game
Best New Character
Best Expansion Pack
Funniest Game
Best Downloadable Console Game

I know there were tons more, but it's been a while. If I sound fishy, I'll happily answer the confirmation questions :).

I've always wanted a "party" one. And the other conveys a confusion I once saw in a lolcat.

I did mock-ups. Good exercise in sprites.

Name: Party!
Detail:
Digits: Can't use a "less than" for the hat and : Party: is impossible thanks to the : P one. :Hat:, perhaps?
Animated: Don't see a need for this one.

Name: Hm?
Detail:
Digits: It's a shame the digits are already sideways :P. And : | is taken. :Side: or :Sideways:, perhaps?
Animated: Again, I don't see a need for this one to be animated.

Q9550 is excellent, I think it'd be the better upgrade. Down the line, you could always upgrade the GPU. 8800 is still fairly capable, and your resolution makes the job a bit easier for it.
