You're In The Game!

[Lady Renae]

Hi there! I have some strange little hobbies/habits I do from time to time when I'm bored. Sometimes my brain likes to see what would happen if someone had a gender switch, so it does that. Sometimes I go around matching the ways people form their lips around words and seeing if I can replicate it. And sometimes I do this:






Yes, that's right... I just turned our beloved Napoleon the Clown into a space marine using Mass Effect's facial construction program.

No, it's not creepy.

In the past, I have used such games as Mass Effect, Oblivion, Saints Row 2, several online games I don't remember the name of, and even the Xbox Live avatar creation tool to make replicas of people I know.

At the moment, all I have are Saints Row 2, Mass Effect, and the avatar program for Xbox Live, but I am offering to do this sort of thing for anyone who wants one. I will be acquiring more games over time, and if you know of a game that has a decent physical creation interface with a look you want that can be loaded either on an Xbox 360 or a Vista-running PC, let me know so I can see if I can do that for you. Alternately, you can let me borrow your copy, but I doubt you'd be willing to do that. (let's be honest here)

Unless you guys WANT to pay for it, the offer is free, though I do require some pictures you want me to use, and if I need more references in order to make the program work correctly, I'll let you know what I need. (Some of these programs even work the BACK of the head O.o )

So what do you say, people? Want to be a video game character?


ETA: AAAAAA now I can see all the differences!! THEY LOOK NOTHING ALIKE!!! Gah! Mass Effect is rather... limited... it's more like I made a very very lookalike brother of Napoleon for the game. There's a certain base to the game that's hard to remove.

I'm going to angst about this for hours now, because that's how long it takes to complete the game. >.<

I enjoy doing the same thing, created a character of how I see myself in Saints Row 2 (as I posted in the video game thread.) I also experimented making a few FSTDTers in The Sims 3 once. I didn't play them out, that would feel way too creepy.

Less blathering, more on topic: Hopefully some of the sexy, interesting people volunteer. You can use my mug as a last resort if you wish, but there are much more ideal candidates in the meantime.

I do that a lot. Especially in Dynasty Warriors 6 Empires. I, of course, use Cao Pi's sword (which has some fuck-off awesome AoE attacks) and am wearing full platemail...

Maybe I could make a Lady R... I wonder what weapon she would use...

[Lady Renae]

Swords. Lots of them.

ETA: Also I misspoke earlier... I'm going to be angsting for days, because it actually takes several days to complete the game... this may even take a couple weeks because I am not just playing the game at the exclusion of everything else.

So Liu Bei, then... Hmm...

You wanna know what my first thought was, when I read the thread title?

Goddammit, I just lost the game.

I updated the picture to one that had a better angle... they really really played with lighting in this game.
