eBay Contest

[64squares]

Up for auction I have a mini Super Nintendo with Mario Paint and the mouse. You can see one of the pictures I have in the auction below. I thought it would be fun to change that picture everyday starting on Monday so it says something different on the screen. On Monday I will have Mario sitting on top of the mouse, and it will say "It's me Mario!". Here's the contest. I'm looking for ideas on what to write each day. I need ideas for 7 days (from Tuesday the 19th to Monday the 25th). The last day to submit an idea will be Sunday the 24th. Post what you think I should write here, and I will take the seven that I like the best and put a new one up each day. After the auction is over, I will post on Digital Press the seven I picked, and you guys can vote on which one you like the most. The one with the most votes gets $10 store credit in my online store. There are a a few rules. First, the sayings have to be at the most "PG-13". What I write, doesn't have to be about Mario, it could be about anything. Unfortunately I suck at drawing so if you want me to do any artwork it better be stick figures. Keep the ideas short, at the most two screens worth (I can replace the picture of Mario in the auction with a shot of the TV and have two screens). If you want me to put props in, I might be able to do that too. Here's the link to my online store if you want to see what you can use your $10 for if you win:

To enter, simply reply to this post with what you would like me to write. Thanks. Michael

whoa wtf...? Is this for ebay or dp? And wha...? :/

[64squares]

It's only for members of Atari Age and Digital Press.

[video_game_addict]

In keeping with tha DP theme;

"Mario Paint: more fun than a barrel full of monkeys!"

Don't know if that all will fit on one screen or not though..

[Zadoc]

"SEGA!!!"


:D

[chaoticjelly]

"fuckshitpussyfuck"

[Scavenger4]

"I hope Golden Palace Casino sees this..."

[Flack]

Along with changing the comments, I think it would be fun to put change the day/date on each one.

[64squares]

I'll change the date each day. The new picture is up. Thanks. Michael

"Better than watercolors"

"Mama-Mia! No Reserve"

"Break yourself fool!"

"16 beautiful bits!"

[Cryomancer]

make up a bunch of stamps of sonic sprites, and say "AMAZING GAME SIMULATOR! PRETEND YOU OWN ANY GAME!" or something. Or maybe make a fake pong game. if I can sell styrofoam as pong balls on ebay, you can sell mario paint through the magic of pong.

Draw a little grilled cheese sandwich that looks sort of like the Virgin Mary. You'll get plenty of bids.

[Crush Crawfish]

how about "Mario Paint: Guaranteed to work better than communism!"

In Soviet Russia, Mario paints you!

[Jermack71]

In keeping with tha DP theme;

"Mario Paint: more fun than a barrel full of monkeys!"

Don't know if that all will fit on one screen or not though..

Then how about "Donkey Kong Country: It IS a barrel full of monkeys!" for the following day. :D

[rpepper9]

How about "Will Paint for Food"?..............nah, that has been used to death on t-shirts and posters and what-not. Still an interesting variation.

And in small writing... (Air Raid Not Included)






..sorry, it sounded funny to me, ill go crawl in a corner and stay there

[slapdash]

"Help!! I've been kidnapped by this Sony TV!!"

(would work best with a character stamp/drawing of some sort, especially if it looked like they were pounding on the screen to get out...)

Today I chose Cryomancer's idea of a Pong screen. I made one small change though, the ball is Mario and he's screaming for help. The score is also the date. Here's a close up of it that's a little better. Thanks again for the entries! Please keep them coming.
