I'm not sure how the screenshot on Holiday Mode indicates that this is a holiday screenshot. Perhaps we should add a shot of the same screen for when it's not a holiday, for contrast.

Rhetorical, eh? ... Eight!

Let me see if I can find a screenshot comparison of World Of Warcraft in normal mode, Christmas, Halloween, summer festival, and it's other holiday modes.

The first thing that comes to mind is a screencap from World Of Warcraft showing some of the stuff that they do during Halloween or Christmas.

EDIT: Ninja'd.

Maybe something a little more out-there; fangame Sonic Robo Blast 2 used to have a Xmas mode that either activated for the twelve days of Christmas, or manually with -xmas. This was removed in later versions, but fortunately I still have a copy of an older version with this flag intact.

That says "the world is not always this way", which I like. Not sure how to say that without a comparison image like that.

Clock's up, incidentally. We've got seven suggestions. Think it's crowner time?

Blank crowner's hooked; I'll hit the snooze.

@8: Well, the fact that it's labeled "Greenflower Zone" might be sufficient to tip people off. Perhaps with the addition of a caption to the effect of "That is not a Non-Indicative Name."

I'm honestly surprised that the World Of Warcraft and Runescape pics did as poorly as they did.

It's been a week now; there's about a 10-vote difference between #1 and #2, and #1's got a 3.33...:1 ratio going for it as of writing. Think we should call it?

Agreed. The new pic's up, potholed, and tagged, and the rest are on the Image Links page. Caption or no?

Only one I can think of is something dull like "What booting the game up with "-xmas" used to get you".
