Thursday, December 4, 2008 by Zoomba | Discussion: GUI Championships News
Following up on the Most Usable winners, as announced a few days ago, today we have the winners of the Most Original Dreams for the 2008 GUI Championships. The short version is ChaNinja and TheMasterBaron are dominating the Dream events, once again securing all three spots between the two of them. Just like with Most Usable, ChaNinja takes the top spot.
Now all that's left is the Best Overall Dream, which will be judged/voted on in the upcoming few weeks. We're in the home-stretch now so be sure to check back here every day to see new skins, and news about awards, user voting and more!
Read on for the winners...

Congrats TMB and CN. You've really nailed the concept of dreaming.

Recount!
Kidding, of course. Congrats, again, to the winners! It's a run-away, and there's no reason to assume the Best Overall will be any different.
Oh, and Zoomba - could I at least get my handle spelled correctly in the runner-up mention? Not a big deal but I'd hate to brag about coming in fourth and having someone dispute this claim.

Ouch, I like to think I still have a chance to break my 2nd place curse (I came in second on the Alienware contest also).

HAH! What I meant was it'll certainly be down to the two of you again, although the order may certainly change.

Keep an eye out soon on Wincustomize for an updated version of the Gargoyle Dream which will have detailed clouds and stars and longer cycletime and animations which I didn't have time to polish for the competition,also with better compression to prevent banding on sky.
Thanks again for this everyone! WOOHOO!
I'm looking forward to it, Gargolye is an inspired piece of work and I would love to be able to customize it and see it turn into a real masterwork.
All of you have turned staring at the montior into something better! I applaud your artistry and technical chops.
