Well I figured I would jump on the bandwagon here, so I held a certain Hippo at gunpoint and forced him to photoshop a Santa hat onto my avatar. He botched it up, but since it's Christmas I only killed his cat. The compression artifacts look terrible too. Is space on the gamedev server really so precious that we can't have PNG...
Well that's it folks, thanks for joining me on the DukeAtreides076 Two Post Per Day (Except For Some Of Those Days Where He Forgot But Most Of The Days) Gauntlet Challenge. Aren't you glad it's over?
