[UPDATE!] Overlord: Raising Hell contest winners announced! photo

Hey everyone! Remember that contest we ran the other week? The one where you had to come up with creative headgear from items found around the house for a chance to win a PS3 copy of Overlord: Raising Hell?

Well, as usual, the Dtoid community brings the sauce. The decision making was tough, but listed below are the five winners of the contest (and their winning pics are shown after the jump). To everyone else that entered: thanks for the awesome entries. It wasn't easy picking just five pictures out of all the entries, but our crack team of editors managed to pull it off. 

Winners!

  • Roryzilla
  • riomccarthy
  • Video Cognito
  • ZombiePlatypus
  • sirjester

So, young winners, now would be the time to send in your contact info from the e-mail address you have on account with Destructoid, making sure to include your correct address and name. For anyone that missed the contest, check out the gallery attached for each and every contest entry. There are definitely some interesting entries.

[Update!!! The fine folks that were sponsoring the contest thought that EVERYONE did such an excellent job, that EACH OF YOU WHO ENTERED gets a copy of Overlord: Raising Hell for the PS3. The five original winners that were chosen will recieve a copy of GRiD for the PS3 as well. Are we happy now? Can we stop crying about the "around the house" thing already? You know I really love all of you, right? Just checking :)]

Roryzilla's is seen above.

"So, to participate in this contest and win a copy of this game, all you have to do is grab whatever you can find around your house and come up with the most creative minion-esque headpiece "

so sirjester just had that lying around his house?
contest seems pretty much broken

If you look just above that paragraph, you see the message from whomever supplied the prizes. It mentions nothing about where or when your helmet must come from. Dyson was just using general terms when he said "around the house."
8-year-olds, dude.

wow look at all the kiddies QQing about sirjester winning. if you look at the first paragraph, (which he ever so kindly reposted for you) you will see that you're all a bunch of bleeding retards.

so stop QQ'ing; im sure the people running the contest knew the rules, if they thought he broke the rules.. they wouldn't have let him win

stfu, and go put your helmet on in the pokemon forums

:D

so if someone goes against the rules it doesnt matter, just because a european cant win!

i just looked at your blog.. and i hope that picture is of you on your header because if it is...maybe instead of wasting your time on video games, you should focus on getting your teeth fixed... that shit is ALL sorts of jacked up son! damn, were you chewing on bricks as a kid, snaggletooth?

why even bother entering a "worldwide" contest were you can break the rules all you want but as long as your american you have a chance of winning

wow....trying to be hospitable...but getting nothing back. I can see how my last post could've been misconstrude as sarcastic, but I was being completely serious. And how did you know I was American? Was it my sleeveless denim jacket, my american flag bandana or, no wait, it was that picture of me on my Harley drinking a Miller High Life wasn't it? All-right, I'm done, you can have this blog now. I wish you luck in any other worldwide contests, [u]truly.[/U]

wilbo at 07/15/2008 21:06
well im not going to bother entering any contest ever again
even if it says "wilbo 300% chance of winning", it will just be an american who wins yet another prize

goodbye contest part of destructoid

Oshit son. Tell the sponsers that I am very grateful for their generosity! Very awesome of them to reward all of us who took the time to enter (even though somebody was a bitch about things).
And if there's any extra copies of GRID lying around... :D

ahaha, just had to do a search on google for..."motorcycle biker" and get the most accurate representation of my american description. All that was missing was a Miller High Life and my face, but I made it so.

GRATS EVERYONE!!!
