Excuse me, Cry-Tom, I just made my caption screenshot entry, but I'm having trouble attaching it to a comment on the Caption contest thread. It gives me an error saying there's too few characters in my post and in the competition rules, it says to only upload my pic WITHOUT any words etc. How can I do it then?

There is no limit on the captions, you can simply type as much text as you want.

What I want to know is:
I live in Brazil. If I, by luck, win the GeForce card, will it be shipped here?
Or the prizes are only for a few selected countries?

Hey, you're supposed to post your submission in the "Caption contest submissions" thread, not here. Just a heads up.

Ha ha, It isn't that easy man.... T_T You must have that image URL or you have saved it in your own computer and then upload it into a website for that thing, Like " Image Shack" or something...

How do you add a caption to the picture????
You can either add it to your screenshout through a program like MS Paint or Photoshop. Or you can just add the image to your post and type in your caption underneath.

Do the captions necessarily need to be funny ones? Or is it equally acceptable to put one that is more descriptive and shows our appreciation of Crysis 2, etc...? Will funny ones get greater chances of being selected?
Also, will an 800x600 pic get lesser chance of being selected than a 1920x1080 one, solely because of the resolution?

Wait, most importantly, how do you take a screenshot in Crysis 2??

Good old "Ctrl+PrtSCN">Paint isn't working. I'm not going to use fraps. Any help?

And I see there are guys able to take images detached from the player cam perspective....i.e. some kind of free-floating camera work being done. That would help greatly.
Or is that cheating and not allowed?
