Contest: ENTER SF&F Avatar Contest: Let's Play

[JD]

Our theme for this one is going to be games, and I'm going to allow any game or sport that we see people play in a SF&F movie, show, book, comic, game, ect. It doesn't have to be a Sci-Fi or Fantasy sport, as long as the characters playing it are in an SFF story
The usual rules are going to apply so 200x200 and 1MB, and you can enter as many times as you want.

I was looking for a GIF from the Godzilla/Charles Barkley commercial, but I couldn't find on on GIPHY.

I don't think I got it from GIPHY, but from a tumblr. Did an image search through DuckDuckGo. Another option would have been to take the original commercial from YouTube and convert it on gifs.com.

If you want it, feel free to take it. I'm pretty sure I'll come up with way more than I can enter.

Case in point:

#4 (or #3, depending on your decision)

Superman is the umpire, while Batman and Robin apparently aren't on the same Baseball team; World's Finest Comics #3

Astronaut Frank Poole and HAL play chess in 2001: A Space Odyssey

. . . Another option would have been to take the original commercial from YouTube and convert it on gifs.com.

I use ezgif. It lets you upload and cut videos, convert them to GIFs, resize and crop them, add effects, and optimize for file size.

No thanks, I'm fine with what I got. I actually like the Ping Pong one better than the basketball.
I thought about entering a quidditch one, but I couldn't find anything I liked, and I realized I didn't want to involve anything related to JK Rowling.

I hope you give us lots of votes, because I already want to vote for about for about 13 of these.

 

[JD]

Since we're getting so many entries I figured I'd let everybody vote as many time as they like.
I just do things by the week, so I'll put the poll up on Sunday.

OK, I forgot about this, but I don't feel like setting up the poll now, so I'll get it in the morning. Which means this is going to be last call for entries.
