This Toy Grundo is really adorable. It's kind of giving me light toy story vibes.

I agree, that is a great customization that at least offers the Grundo something not related to Space, not that all Grundos' outfits are space-related and definitely better than looking like Shrek .

The Claw!!! The helmet amuses me, as they always do when they have holes in them for ears/antennae x'D Maybe it's more to protect them from Neopian germs? Coming from that filtered atmosphere on the space station they'd have zero natural defences. If this was RL they'd be quarantined in Cockroach Towers for weeks, at their own expense!

I'm almost glad that I failed to find inspiration this time round; I could seriously never have beaten the originality on show here! Also, never heard of the literature club game. Thank you to whoever sent that one in, I've just bought it!

Number 3 was pretty funny haha! RIP Flash All of these were really creative! Everyone did really well for all their different games!

I could've waited for a bigger JP but winning is not guaranteed and I'd actually be upset if the JP was 18K and I lost in the end.

Same ! I don't even play video games But I just had an idea and I might make something for the Alternative Entries thread , maybe you can too ?

Friday my dentist gave me two gift certificates for local businesses in town. I chose the flower shop and the artisan loft. The kids and I picked out an artificial orchid for their grandma for her birthday from the flower shop. At the artisan loft they got colorful mini bath bombs. They've never had bath bombs before, so it was a fun bath night for them!

I recognize the games featured, even if I haven`t played all of them myself, (I have played the Literature Club one, that was weird, lol) and I love how some entries also branched out, very creative and fun! Great job, everyone!

Please double check your votes before submitting them, to avoid mistakes, because they can't be changed afterwards. Current theme: Video Games Description: Take your inspiration for this entry from video games. Old or new; Neopets-related or not; based on a specific game, or just something that reminds you of a certain game genre. Pretty much anything goes. Entering period: Monday, August 16 - Sunday, August 22 Voting period: Monday, August 23 - Sunday, August 29 Be sure to check out the links to the animated entries, although with Flash gone (and pre-HTML5 conversion) you'll only be able to see the still image. (Still worth checking out, as it'll be bigger than the one in the thread, so you'll be able to see more details on it.) Note: DTI appears to be having some issues displaying the animation links; most of them seem to be broken, at least for me. DTI also has an HTML5 beta version you can use, which might be more future-proof. I haven't tried it out myself yet, but you can check out the link for entry #5 to see what it looks like. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Voting is now officially closed!

Ooh, that makes sense! I just connected it to the Aliens because of the green colour and the fact that Grundos are from space, but so is Buzz (sort of, lol) I forgot they don`t wear helmets.

Just a warning for the literature club one, it's a horror game with some pretty scary stuff so be warned if you don't want to see that stuff! I'm pretty sure the game gives a list of the warnings but I just wanted to be sure you knew what you were getting into.

I'll bet! At least with girls you probably don't need to bribe them to get them into the bath in the first place? xD You might have opened up a can of worms now they know about bath bombs though.

Well, they might still need it to go out into the vaccum of space! While grundos are from the VSS, one can assume that the interior is climate controlled with breathable oxygen, since there's other non-grundo neopets hanging around on some of the decks without helmets (specifically, a kacheek on the recreation deck)

I was thinking more Buzz Lightyear , as the Aliens in Toy Story don't wear an oxygen helmet But where would a Gruno wear it ? They are from Space , and they don't seem to need it on Neopia as lots of people bring them back from Kreludor ...

I love that they are finally doing things with Toy that are more creative and make them stand out. I think the Toy Grundo is based on the Alien toy figurines from Toy Story, It`s really cute and I love the base colour on it as well. This is what the Spider Grundo looks like, so the cosplay is very accurate (I just thought it looked odd with the legs sticking out of its back, but that`s what the character look like). I really like the teeth, they make for a nice vampire customization!

legit thought that was Alien, at first! i like it, but does the art seem fuzzy to anyone else? also that spider grundo "outfit" is awesome! i do wonder about the tattoo though, does that recolour the grundo green to match the spider legs, or would using the spider legs on a differently coloured grundo end up looking strange?

The ray is fired at darkinvention.. ... and he changes gender!!!! The Definition of Existential Crisis Ok , so he was Elderly Girl , changed gender , became a Grandma dressed as a Grandpa Then "SHE" changed into Elderly Boy ... who now changed gender again and became a Grandpa dressed as a Grandma !

HAHAHAHA, shame it wasn't the pizza delivery guy, then he could forget he'd already delivered mine. The ray is fired at domaniala... ... and she gains 5 maximum hit points!!!! Times New Roman shall now be known as Kadoatie-wannabe. How nice.

Fun!

*sees #7* *laffs until stomach hurts* I mean I was laughing already, and then I saw that one... Oh my, I so miss playing on Sims 2 *makes Sim clean the toilet whilst wearing a ballgown* Thank you TDNers, for some most excellent entries this round!

Hi! Nielo is right; they definitely relate to group permissions/settings, which I presume Ian set up. I'll reach out to see what he prefers and get back to everyone. I don't want to enable them being site wide if it would be hard for us to monitor or if there was a specific reason(s) he chose these permissions/settings. Sorry for any confusion.

It's horrible to keep up, sometimes I'm not sure if a post is made by a valid new member or an ad account. Most of the time I'll remove the url from a first post and if a second post is made with another link to some whoknowswhat site I'll just mark them as spammer. If I miss one, please let me know or sent a report so I can take a look at it when I'm online! I just bought and received a new tent today! It's a five person tent in which I'll be able to stand up. All that space just for me LOL! I figured the weight doesn't matter since I'll always go to the camp site by car so figured I could go luxurious and buy a nice one. If one of my friends ever wants to go camping with me, at least they don't need to bring a tent of their own.
