"I found this in the back of the rhetorical closet. It's an image I made back in '03 for a Photoshop contest. I didn't have photoshop at the time, so I used MSPaint -- Some people must have had a high opinion of it, because it won first place against all of the Photoshop entries... I personally think it's just because the other entries were sufficiently lacking in humor...

For those people who have played Escape Velocity Nova and StarCraft, I imagine this may be a welcome submission, but those people are few and far between... Those even fewer people who were on the ASW Nova forum back in '03 might actually remember this.

For the rest of you, it's an Auroran Thunderforge (Player's arbiter-rank ship) from EV: N [ http://ev.urbanup.com/ ] integrated into a StarCraft [if you don't know what StarCraft is, you need to redefine your digital life] screenshot with a less-than-witty comment.

Yes, I know, it sucks, and due to the multiple poor-quality image compressions it's seen since I made it, the quality is shit too... I promise not to submit any more like this.

critiques discouraged -- not only is it as old as sin, but I don't plan on ever working on it again... maybe a remake somewhere down the road, but nothing compared to this hideous thing...

Not sure why I'm posting this come to think of it... will probably scrap it later unless DA houses some unexplainable underground hive of EVN fans."

PS. REAL Old... but I still remember vividly why I will NEVER do a photo edit in MSPain(t) again.
