OK! I got everything back, so it's time to get this ball rolling!

The only hard and fast rule is that NO ONE can resell, ebay or otherwise these items. I'm still serious about this, I'll hunt you down and gut ya like a fish.


I've got 3 categories for the contest.

1) The Caption contest. Things are going to change as I am not going to provide the picture to caption. YOU ARE! There are plenty of screen shots on the UTM site, plus maybe if someone asks Cub and Demonlawyer pretty please, they MIGHT upload some of their's to a website. But that's a big iffer. And there's always grabbing them yourself. Overseer's the easiest. Or you can scan something from the hint books, whatever, I'm easy.


2) Hats off to Thomas Malloy for the excellent, "What would Tex say?" category. Again, you upload the pic and the wittism. The more I spew when I see it, the better chance you've got of grabbing a goodie.

3) Creative projects. This can be just about anything else. Fan fiction, art, music, computer imaging, you name it.
It's a catch all, diverse category, open to anything and everything Tex.


Oh, here are some pics of the goodies.

This one is my favorite, man I did NOT want to give this one up.

SO here's the list.
2 copies of the Pandora Directive, signed on the box cover by Aaron, Chris and Adrian. (now herefore known as the 3)

3 copies of Pandora Directive novel, signed not only by the 3, but Doug Vandergrift as well. So that's pretty cool. Aaron has a different quote for each novel, but that one just cracked me up.

2 copies of Under a Killing Moon and a copy of Overseer jewel cases, signed by Chris Jones and Aaron Conners on the jewel case.

When I sent out everything to be signed I invited them to keep any of the items that they wanted for themselves, so the list may not be exactly the same as before. But there's still plenty of good stuff to go around.

I'm going to give it at least 3 weeks before I announce any winners, but don't wait till the last minute.

I hope everyone has fun with this. No doom and gloom or anything, but it'll be the last contest I run. I've cashed it all my chips, chits, what have you.

So who will be the 1st to give it a go?
You are not limited to any one category, you may enter in each of the 3 choices, and you may have more than 1 entry per category. But any attempts to spam or flood will result of me getting pissed off and removing any chances that you have of winning. :wink:

Okay I think I am done.... wait, one more: :shock:


Holy crapoley! That's a lot of goodies! :twisted:

Definitely worth having fun with this comp... count the Cubster in!

Although I don't mind playing for fun, that way there are more prizes left over for those who probably deserve them more than me.

-Cub. =o)

Oh man, those are some nice items. I'm brand new to this community, so I don't really know what this is all about. I was trying to get into Adventure Game Studio and naturally I immediately thought of doing a Tex game :D, but three weeks? This would be perfect for the third category, but man. Three weeks?

Upon reflection, Louie decided that he'd use a little less Habañero sauce in his next batch of chili.

I don't know what this counts as (just don't count it as digital art because I want to try something later in that department) but this is my opinion of what should have happened in Pandora Directive if you utterly screwed up Tex's life. (because previously you just died if you majorly screwed up)

Note: I added some effects to the scene (made it much darker ect)

Rook "I always knew you had a heroin addiction. Even you cant be that stupid." Tex "Give me some more of that cocaine."

Tex Murphy decided that it was probably not a good idea to publicly announce to the Tex community that he would no longer be starring in any video game adaptations. The left hay-maker from Jim "The Old Guy" was particularly jarring.

Tex mused on how the book had 20 tried-and-true rules for a P.I. and plenty of blank pages for own use, when he recalled that rule #24 was machine-typed... Something was off, he could feel it from wing tips to fedora!

Shoot, I'm in the wrong bar again.

Did you ever think about using "Just for Men"?
