What about marble statues?
Why must all things be so bright? Why can things not appear only in hues of brown! I am so serious about this! Dull colors are the future! The next generation! I will never accept a world with such bright colors! It is far too childish! I will rage against your cheery palette with my last breath!

Vudu, I think all the insane questions about statues, sculptures, fruit baskets, dioramas, arcade machines, computer casings, and the like would be better for a funhouse thread for questions about the contest, in the event there are standers by who take your questions seriously.  Don't you?

Insane questions?  Marble statues were mentioned in the contest rules!!

Send us your videos, pictures, artwork, or marble statues depicting how you spend the summer with video games. Use any visual medium; the more creative the better.

The results of this could be interesting... though I don't know if any picture could top the winner of that one PGC anniversary contest.

You could submit that but I doubt it would win. Maybe you can get creative with that by taking a picture of yourself in the box saying that you're sending yourself with it?

European readership alienated. Mission failed.

I was looking forward to making something for this contest, but the game wouldn't play on my Wii if I won. I guess that means living in the UK will disqualify me from all future competitions as well.

You submit and win, surrender your prize to me, and I will pay for half of your EUR copy.
Sound like a fair deal? We both win.

Same deal to you Plugabugz

No Joke, dead serious,

Even if I end up with one extra copy of WiiSports Resort, I got a friend that will buy it off of me, so it's all good.
We can work out the specifics for monetary exchange through PM after the contest is decided.

Does PayPal do currency exchange?

Work in the summer theme and you're good to go.

Tips: Wear shorts, see if you can catch a GS employee in uniform (ie. visible name badge) on their way back from lunch, so you can catch them outside on a nice sunny day.
