Hello, and welcome to Manta Engie. Allow me to introduce myself: my Steam name’s “D7-spuzman00″- but I’ll be going by spuzman here.
I’m a member of the Division 7 clan in TF2- come to our server, hang out. Most of us aren’t dicks. The IP’s 8.6.3.173:27015 and we have a Source TV running on it as well (sometimes). Hopefully that’ll be it as far as shameless plugs go, because I know you don’t really care.
Anyway, I haven’t got L4D yet, because it costs money. Which I do no have. Hopefully, I’ll get it for Christmas and then I can enjoy it with all you lucky people who have it already.
So, for my first real act as a writer here, I’m going to start a contest for all you peoples out there.
Here’s the subject: Deathcam shots. You know, that thing where it zooms into somebody after they kill you, and a small option pops up: to take a screenshot so you can go back later and remember the humiliation of being killed for the fifth time by some jerk.
Anyhoo, post a picture you’ve taken in the deathcam in a comment on this post, and by the end of the day tomorrow I’ll make another post with my three favorites, and we’ll have voting then. The winner will get, I don’t know, something. Probably just kudos and my gratitude for participating. Maybe EvilDaed will put it in the banner or something, I don’t know. That’s up to him.
There are no limits to how many photos you can submit, but each person will only be allowed one picture into the final three.
Well, to kick the contest off, here’s my entry (which will not actually be up for nomination to prevent a conflict of interest).
I look forward to seeing your entries!

Man this is crazy, what are the odds a random article like this would essentially cement my name as part of a vaguely interesting contest. Just curious as to which game that screenshot is actually from as I don’t usually go Engie.
Could anyone give me some tips on how to upload my images as they’re tga’s and none of the mainstream hosts accept that format.

This is pretty funny so far. Here’s my two cents:
“How the Mighty Fall”
“Trial by Fire”
Oh, and @imPacTedLegend, you should try converting your images with Photoshop if you have it. If not, download IfranView.

Turns out I was wrong: that didn’t work. If my previous post can be deleted could someone do so.
It should now though.

Hehe; congrats Spuzzy! You never told me. D:
December 12th, 2008 at 8:20 pm
Okay, 3 things:
1)I’m extending the contest for a few more days, in case more people want to post anything.
2)Niko: I mentioned it in vent a while ago, but didn’t think I should start bragging to everyone about this.
3)imPacTedLegend: If you haven’t figured your problems out, you can send the pictures/files you took to me (email is spuzman@mantaengie.com) and I’ll post ‘em for you. That goes for anyone having problems. Oh, and I can’t delete your comments right now, but don’t worry about it.
Thanks for participating.!

I must have not been in Vent, and it wouldn’t have sounded like bragging to me; I like to be up to date.
Have fun!

I hate how some servers I frequent always have those lines of text dashed across the screen, and I never notice them until I see a deathcam. And I love 2fort way too much.
