"Can You Guess Where The Screenshot Below Is From?", The Game Tips And More Blog's Game Screenshot Identification Contest, Trippple! Edition [Updated 2018-06-30 with Answer Images]

Well, it's about the middle of the month - and that means it's time once again for something I got into again this year - The Game Tips And More Blog's 'New-ish-sorta-but-only-kinda' Contest:

"Can You Guess Where The Screenshot Below Is From?"

(A Game Screenshot Identification Contest)

Having its' IXth - and 'Super Special Trippple! Screenshot Edition' - today, June 15th, 2018!

All you have to do to win this identification contest, is to contact me in any way you can (eg. Comment on this article below, Twitter profile tweet, Email or make a Comment, here or at The Blog's Facebook Page, or Private Message TheBlog's Steam Account by the end of the month, with these two items within your message:

1. Your guess(es) for the game(s) the image(s) are from.

2. Information on how to contact you back (to receive Steam game gifts, etc) if you win.

That's it!

[Just a quick note to be careful not to include any information you do not wish to share 'publicly' when posting in the Comments area below or at Steam or sending a Twitter profile Tweet, as these messages are seen by 'everyone']

The first correct answer(s) submitted by a Skillful Identifier/Gamer will receive this month's contest prize - which is: a gifted game from a selection at the Steam online store! And, in this Super Special Trippple! Edition, there are Three Chances for Three different Winners! One of them could be you!

One Correct Guess = One Gifted Game Win.

Winners are only allowed one 'win' this month, to allow for the possibility of Three different Winners.

[Note: Although I have been collecting Games in my Gift Inventory on Steam over the past few Years, during Steam Sales,

due to how Steam has changed Gifting games through Steam recently; you will have to temporarily become a Friend
of TheBlog's Steam Account to receive the game - after receiving your Gifted Game, you may Unfriend of course]

Winners will also be announced in bold, large lettered-text, here on this very posting and will thereby be immortalized on The Intertubes in perpetuity, proving to all other comers that you were "The Ultimate Game Screenshot Guesser Thingy Person" [aka. Gamer]!

...

Previous Editions of this Contest [to 'see how it works'] can be found at TheBlog, here:

Can You Guess Where The Screenshot Below Is From - Contest #1
Can You Guess Where The Screenshot Below Is From - Contest #2
Can You Guess Where The Screenshot Below Is From - Contest #3
Can You Guess Where The Screenshot Below Is From - Contest #4
Can You Guess Where The Screenshot Below Is From - Contest #5

...

This time around however, due to there being no winners for the past while: I will give out not only One but THREE Screenshots to guess! It's a TRIPPPLE! Super Special Screenshot Edition!
Even if you can guess only One of the games - you will win!

Are you ready? Here then, is not only One, but THREE 'Mystery' Screenshot images for this month, just below:

Trippple!

Trippple!

[As you can see, the images are portions of the original full screen captures - and while it isn't 'super easy', as it is just a small part of the screen - the image used for the contests will never be super hard, by being 'too' obscure or small (for example, it will never be 'just the end of a wooden log' or anything like that). The Images utilized are also always presented 'Unedited' (other than being Cropped to the smaller size and Logos added), if that helps. Click to see Full Size]

As usual for this Contest, after a week has gone by, if there is no correct guesses as to what games the Screenshots are from, I will still return here and put up 'Hint' images - that is, larger portions of the Screenshots - to assist in Game Recognition-ing-ness-ism... Remember, you only have to guess ONE of the THREE Screenshots above - it's a Super Special Trippple! Edition! [lol]

Good Luck, Gamers!

...

Update!

A week has gone by and there have been no correct guesses yet... So, here are the HINT images (enlarged area portions of the CONTEST images for this month's Contest)!

Ready?

Here are the HINT images (with enlarged portion revealed), below:

Trippple!

[As you can see, the image is still a portion of the full screen capture; but don't worry - the image used for the contest will never be 'too' obscure or small. Also, the Screenshot utilized is always presented as 'Unedited' (other than being Cropped to the smaller size and Logos added), if that helps at all. Click to see Full Size]

[Bonus Hint: Image 3 is not the game "World Of Warcraft"]

Can you guess what games the Screenshots are from yet? Pop into some games and look around and see if anything 'rings a bell' (that is not a hidden 'hint' heh)... At the end of the Month, if noone has guessed correctly by then, I will return here and reveal the full Mystery Screenshots and the Games they were from - Good Luck, Gamers!

...

Update!

It is the end of the Month and there have been no correct submissions! Aww....

To end The Mystery, here are the answers for all three Trippple! screenshots
in this special IXth Edition of
'Can You Guess Where The Screenshot Below Is From' (2018-06):

Trippple!

The Answers for this month's Contest were: Hitman Absolution, Fallout 4 and Paladins!

[These Screenshots, other than the Fallout 4 image, were captured within the past year or so. For those playing Paladins, it is now out of Beta. The level/map in the Paladins screenshot is "Timber Mill". The Hitman Absolution screenshot was taken in the first/tutorial level "A Personal Contract". Click images to see Full Size]

Come back next 15th-of-the-month friends, when there will be another chance to be a Digital Screenshot Sleuth in the "Xth" Edition of 'Can You Guess Where The Screenshot Below Is From' - where I will display/share two Screenshots - offering two different chances to Guess The Game and Win The Prize that is carried over to next time: a gifted game from a selection of the Steam Online Store!

See You In The Games!

For legal purposes, this Contest is sub-titled "Trippple!" (with exclamation mark) and is a separate legal entity than the aforementioned mobile application. It is also a "temporary construct", "for entertainment purposes", in light of the three (3) available screenshot/images available for this local contest.

PC Peripherals I Have Liked, Am Using

Monitor: Samsung (I have liked Viewsonic, LG, Benq, others in the past)
Speakers: Using None (I have liked Creative Labs, Koss, Sony, Logitech, others in the past)
Keyboard: Logitech - I think K120, some inexpensive board, it has soft, quiet keys though, I like that (I have liked Microsoft, Logitech, Gigabyte, others in the past)
Mouse: Logitech G600 - for da'buttonz! heh. G500 is good too, and more comfortable (I have liked Logitech, Gigabyte, Red Dragon, others in past)
Headphones: Kingston Cloud series - alpha I think, great bass/treble and around-the-ear fit (I have liked Creative Labs, Sony, Kingston, others in the past)
**Note - I have not, and will not, be compensated by any of the companies above for mentioning them here in this list; I am merely an enthusiastic user of Gaming/PC products and will use the other brands again in the future

Who Are You In Games?

For those wondering, when I do Game Recording, take Screenshots, or just play and collect Data, I always change my in-game name once in a while, or use one that is 'me' - but noone really knows is 'The Blog'.

The reason why is, I've noticed that when I record with a name that is too obvious, such as "Game Tips And More Blog" or some version of that, people 'act differently'... This is a normal human 'on camera' trait, of course; but I wish to try capture 'the true essence' of the gameplay experience when I record gameplay or take screens - the experience that others would see, if they were gaming [if online, then capturing it how not a lot of people would know them] - so, although it may be nice to say 'hello' or be 'greeted' once in a while... unfortunately for those wondering when or where I'll be recording at a certain time, or what my name will be in a specific game; it will not be obvious... Sorry, eh - I think this makes for more 'interesting' footage though, too - it's 'real'! It's 'raw'! [Hmm.. I wonder if this is how Journalists or Documentarists (Documentarians?) think - I am definitely not putting myself in 'their League' - but it is curious to me now..].

Moved This Button To Here

I used to have this higher up on the Blog, but I don't think it properly reflected my reason for starting this site - I didn't start this site only to make a few dollars, I only added it because I learned that it was perhaps possible to make a few dollars for pizza or other little treats. Before I started this Blog, I was a Security Officer in the past, an IT Support Personnel, and eventually an IT Instructor, helping others prepare for their IT Certifications, being a Gamer all along the way! I have always wanted to help others, and I always seemed to choose occupations that would do so - and I will continue to do so, despite becoming ill. I enjoy helping out - and the main thing here is the information within and that it might help someone, not this. Thus, this button is now down here instead of at the top... If you found my information useful and can Donate towards ordering a pizza someday, great. If you cannot, I still hope that you find my information useful, or that my findings have helped you in some way. I really do. Thank you for stopping by and I hope you find something that helped you, no matter what. Take care. ~Troy from The Game Tips And More Blog
