You may not know this about us (only our closest loved ones do) but we love Eegra.com. It's not exactly newsworthy very often (which is why you don't see us linking to it more) but it's always a great read. So we were delighted to see they were doing something we could pass on to you: Their 1st Annual Game Makin' Shindig.
They're asking contestants to create their own games based around the theme of "Color" (actually, they say "Colour," but we're guessing it's a code). For their efforts, the best entrants will receive some folding cash and the bragging rights of being the best game designer that lives in their house (not applicable if you live in Ken Levine's basement). Your inevitable questions are likely answered in this FAQ. If any of our dear readers want to try their hand, we wish them all the best and hey, try including a quick-time event. People love that stuff.

just ask someone you trust to try to change it for you? or just someone of the joystiq staff (hey, I'm giving you options)...

I use Firefox and I've never had a problem. Just change it to the avatar that you want and then leave it alone for a few minutes - sometimes it takes a bit to take effect.

Thanks for the ideas. I have given it time to update. Days, in fact. I don't understand what the problem is. Oh well.

"Colour" is how the word is spelt in the ENGLISH language. Just sayin' is all. You yanks can't spell anything - least of all "through". [/SPAG nazi]
But yeah, looks fun! I may have to dust of DevKitPro!
