Can we agree that the the blueness of the line corresponds to the image? |

I got the impression that it was a bunch of images in a grid, and then scribbled ontop with a meaningless blue line for no purpose other than to make it more difficult |

Possibly. Or maybe some copy/paste function was making the blue. I'm thinking about enlarging the picture on my computer and marking the direction the lines go at each intersection (if I can figure it out), unless you have a better idea. |

Maybe I'l just deluding myself but I really feel like there are dividing lines in the drawing between images http://puu.sh/82PQD.png It doesn't account for 10 different images though so I'm not super confident in that |

I thought this at first too, but now I'm leaning more towards it being 10 different fullscreen images overlaid on each other. For example, look at the small rectangular boxes on the left and right side of the image with the faces in them. These are clearly part of the Super Smash Bros Melee cover art (along with the pikachu in the lower right, I believe). Edited by Kefiroth, Apr 9 2014, 07:56 PM.

I just realized that the "grid" we're seeing is from the Grand Theft Auto V cover art. Check the guy wearing the gas mask at top-middle. exact match. There's something with pointy ears in the center of the image that resembles Batman. It could be Batman: Arkham Asylum So we have: Super Smash Bros Melee Grand Theft Auto V (?)Batman: Arkham Asylum(?) Edited by Kefiroth, Apr 9 2014, 08:21 PM.

I say look at that square with the wings on it. Could it be a flying block from a Mario game? A lum from a Rayman game? I'm too busy coloring lines to contemplate. |

I'm tired and not working on this any further atm. The lines are getting harder and harder to decide. I don't know which lines go with which pictures and was just assigning colors mostly in any way such that no two of the same color line touched. I'll post just in case you guys can figure anything out from this madness. http://i.imgur.com/Iv3U8SL.png Again, I reiterate that you shouldn't focus on the colors. Only on the individual lines they define. However, I do believe that the red "comb" is all one picture. And I tended to make SSBM windows yellow. And slightly preferred GTA V stuff to be green. But overall, don't stress about the colors yet. In my final version, I did plan to make everything the right color, but that's looking more complicated than my tired brain wants to handle.

Well, it's something. Btw, someone needs to be in charge of figuring out what lists we're sending, in case we don't get all 10 games. Make sure to optimize our use of Mayo's tie-breakers. |

You can use photoshop or a similar program to remove the blue from the image. That might help see whats underneath. Im not at home or I could do it. Currently I cant tell anything from this image Should be able to do the same to the black lines so you just see the blue too Edited by radman9000, Apr 10 2014, 01:51 AM.

I also though that winged square looked like navi but I don't think she's on the box art of any zelda games |

Could also be a Lumox from Rayman. Or a very deformed Sparx from Spyro? |

Look at the yellow line in Dream's image that runs through the gas mask guy (from the GTAV cover art) at top middle. It appears to be the top of the Batman logo and to me confirms Batman: Arkham Asylum as one of the games. List: Super Smash Bros Melee Grand Theft Auto V Batman: Arkham Asylum |

Maybe I'm metagaming too much, but considering the answers we have so far, and the type of diagram where just identifying anything is difficult I suspect the games will mostly be well-known or mainstream instead of the stuff like last round |

One thing I could try to do is take the image and erase elements from games we already know. It might make things a bit easier. |

I was eventually going to try to recolor things from images we know in the same color (and not use that color for other things), but alas, some of the lines are pretty much impossible to determine. I still planned to work on the coloring more though. But not right now cause I have school stuff. :/ |

Well, I didn't get very far with the erasure thing. Too many lines overlap or touch... Even if we don't get more than 3, I think that still gives us a decent shot. We just can't afford to make any wrong guesses due to the nature of the tiebreaker. And like Kirby said, we shouldn't over-think this. It seems (at least so far) that most of the games are going to be popular mainstream titles. |

I think that green line underneath the yellow line near the top may be the bottom of the batman logo. |

Maybe that rake/comb/whatever in red is actually a sword or bat something else that somebody is swinging. The lines coming off it could be indicating it's moving through the air really quickly, since they don't quite touch the long red line. I asked my friend if he could see anything in that image besides SSBM, GTA V, and some batman game, but he hasn't replied yet. I yhink he's at work. |

The question is do we want to go for the Least Submissions tie-breaker and only send 1 PM with only the games we actually know inside, or do we want to try adding a bunch of games to a bunch of PMs and load the lists with those we know plus various popular games or games Mayo has posted on. Mayo posted a lot on Skyrim, so if we're doing the latter, we should include Skyrim on at least some of the lists. Also, if we do the latter, we need to make sure that 1 of the people submitting just submits the ones we actually know, that way we still have a chance at winning one of the tie-breakers if it comes to that. |

Another friend of mine said the flying thing and the broom might be from some kind of Quiddich (sp?) match on the cover of a Harry Potter game. Promising lead? |

Another observation: The lightning bolt/zig-zag type thing on the right side could be the tail of a pikachu. And I think I see what could be its foot near the bottom-middle. Pokemon Yellow? Edited by Kefiroth, Apr 10 2014, 10:53 AM.

I thought about it being pikachu's tail from ssbm but then I'm like "no, that's too big." Also, I can't quite figure out how it's supposed to be connected properly with the lines But yeah, yellow sounds like a good idea |

Btw, if you're talking with another team and they ask how many we have, try to keep the number low this time. We want other teams to feel comfortable with low numbers. Make them feel like they're doing a small but significant amount better than us. Don't mention anything about drawing colored lines (in case somehow they find that useful). And definitely don't link them to my (piece of trash) work. Edited by Dreamwalker, Apr 10 2014, 11:00 AM.

Pokemon Yellow would require big Pikachu ears on the top part of the image and I don't see any. I can't see the different FEA covers working as one image but then again he did the same shit with Crash Bash. Can't really see ACNL in the image |

Could any of those giant eyes slightly off the middle of the image be part of that big head on the cover of Brain Age games? |

I think the ears are probably lost somewhere in eiter of the top corners. Given the poor quality of these drawings, they may not even look as distinctive as they should. I'm pretty confident Pokemon Yellow is correct. I have encircled what I believe to be the tail, both feet, and possibly its left hand: http://i.imgur.com/JbtKrLX.png |

Cool.. I didn't even notice that other foot before you circled it. I believe it enough to put it on a list. Kefi (or anyone), could you please compile a list of all the games we KNOW are on it, all the games we THINK are on it, and all the other games or series of games that MIGHT be worth guessing on some people's lists? |

i'll just put in basically everything that has been mentioned and not disproven so far if i'm reading everything right we got KNOWN: Super Smash Bros Melee Grand Theft Auto V Batman: Arkham Asylum GUESSES: Pokemon Yellow -Navi on bottom left. -Master Chief's helmet in the center. Lumox from Rayman. Or a very deformed Sparx from Spyro some kind of Quiddich (sp?) match on the cover of a Harry Potter game. Pokemon Yellow

Here are the only Harry Potter covers with quidditch on them. I don't think either matches up, but I honestly can't see much of anything in this mess, so you guys should double check. http://i.imgur.com/wzw1UoX.jpg http://i.imgur.com/wdF41iP.jpg |

You listed Pokemon Yellow twice, Rob. And yeah, Cody, it didn't look like a great match. But if we don't find out for sure what the rakebroomthing and flying thing are, we might as well include either of those as a guess. It'll still be about 2 hours til I get home and can work on this more. |

My friend who got us Boogerman last time is home now and looking at the image. He says he agrees with Pokemon Yellow. And now that I'm on a desktop looking at it, I quite agree too. So I think we have 4 certain. |

I uploaded a new version of my colored lines... it's a little bit clearer than the last one, and I fixed a couple errors I noticed. Despite my excess of caution (not drawing lines when I'm not sure which way it's supposed to go), I still make some mistakes in some places. http://i.imgur.com/txp8GGd.jpg Again, don't pay much attention to the colors, although Green is becoming a more GTA V color, Yellow a more SSBM color, Dark Faded Blue a more Batman color, and Purple a more Pokemon Yellow color. But those are just guidelines. Not rules yet. And I'm not sure if I'm going to post another version after this one. This might be it, so hopefully it gives you some kind of new perspective.
