I took all the plasmid and tonic avatars from the downloads page and made them into 1 1/4" buttons! And I'm making them available to Cult of Rapture members for FREE! Just send a self-addressed stamped envelope to:

Only one button per cult member so be sure to include your plasmid or tonic preference!

Oh my.
What about orders from abroad? I don't think the stamped envelope thing works in that context, but any way for me obtain one? :(
Those are great. Really, they are.

I don't see why it wouldn't work abroad. As far as I know, anything under 16oz. is considered a letter. Try asking someone at your local post office. :)

I can do any of the the avatars from the Downloads page. Although the simpler designs tend to read better from a distance. I made a security bullseye button for my girlfriend and it's kinda hard to tell what it is. I'm happy to send whatever you request though. Cult members represent! :D

I was more referring to the fact where I don't think your country will take my stamps for you to send the button with. Meh, I'll check with the post-office.

Hey Heelflip, if I wanted more than just one, can I send you a donation or something? Lol. As far as getting the one you're offering, all I have to do is send the envelope but I'm still trying to decide which one I want. Lol.

The response to the buttons has been pretty small so I guess I can up it to three per cult member. :)

Shotgun Circus of Values one!

Right, I'll make a decision this weekend, still in doubt.
And you're still awesome for offering us this opportunity.

Oh ok GREAT! Well, for sure I want Sport Boost (the birdy one. :D), Sonic Boom 2, and Enrage. Wish I could get one of each. :D

3 even better :D Im considering getting some, not sure which yet though. I dont suppose it would cost me that much to send them over from the UK couple of £ at most for airmail. I'll think about which ones i want :)

again very nice of you to do this :D

Whoa, whoa! I'm sorry if I misled you guys but, so far, all I have are the avatars from the downloads page here:
http://www.2kgames.com/cultofrapture/downloads.html
If someone can get some good screens of the rest I'd be happy to do those too but this is all I got. :(

Good work! They're a bit small though. I'll have to fumble with photoshop for awhile and see if i can get 'em up to snuff.

I'm sending my envelope today or tomorrow. I don't have a car anymore so I can't go to the mail. :( And the nearest Mail box is like, two miles away. Can't walk that far. (Well, I just don't WANT to walk. :rolleyes:) Lol.

This is very nice of you, heelflip!

I don't want to be greedy, but it sounds like you have plenty of buttons to move. If you have spares after others get theirs, would you be willing to sell a handful of different ones? I have an old Levi's jean jacket I wore in the 70's that is covered with buttons, and I'd love to add a bunch of BioShock ones. :-)

I could pay or mail a small box with some stamps inside or Paypal or whatever. You can PM me or reply here. Thanks!

I want to be clear that I am not selling 2k's intellectual property. I don't want to step in anything messy. Send envelopes and if I get a relatively small response, I'll re-extend the offer to everyone so you can get more. :)

BioShock Freak

05-17-2008, 02:29 PM

Sweet. :D Have you gotten my envelope yet? I sent it a few days a go. Sorry, was having problems with trying to go get some stamps.

I want to be clear that I am not selling 2k's intellectual property.

That is perfectly understandable. And commendable.

It's not worth it for one button, so I'll pass. But thanks for doing this for the board.

I know you have been giving those buttons away for a while but how many do you have left?

BioShock Freak

06-09-2008, 07:37 PM

Hey Heelflip, did you ever get my envelope? I sent it like, last month. Lol.

did he make those buttons? Or did he send them out somewhere to be made?

overcastkid

06-11-2008, 10:58 PM

These are great... May I ask, what did you use to make them?:confused:

BioShock Freak

06-12-2008, 12:45 AM

If I remember right, he made them himself. Not sure though.

06-13-2008, 07:29 AM

Sorry, I thought this thread had died. :( I haven't received any envelopes yet so I gave away the first batch of buttons at my favorite Gamestop store. I have materials to make many more though. As far as how I make them... I took all of the large versions (256 by 256) of the avatars and resized them in Photoshop. Then I just layed them all out on a proof sheet, printed it on my cheap little HP printer, cut them into 1&1/4" circles, and pressed them into buttons. The badge maker I use is a simple contraption I got here http://www.badgeaminit.com/

The offer's still good though. If you don't want to send an envelope with your address on it, use someone else's or a work address or something.

O snap you live in Michigan too so it wouldnt take long to send it here (In Milford (inbetween Brighton and Novi)). How many would I be able to get?

heelflip76

06-14-2008, 12:00 AM

The standing offer is for three of the plasmid/tonic avatars on the COR download page. (Except maybe Armored Shell. The link for the 256 by 256 version doesn't work.) Please include a list of your three choices with your envelope. :)

Camp1nCarl

06-14-2008, 11:25 AM

Alright sounds good. Ill try to send an envelope out soon.
