About Me
Hi,
Names Matt Razak and I'm just a gamer with a Wii and a 360. I'm also really, really, really, ridiculously good looking and a ninja...and humble. If you haven't noticed from my selfless self promoting or my Monday reviews I'm a film critic for a living at a local newspaper in Northern Virginia. I write at That VideoGame Blog but my heart will always belong to D-toid.

Right now I'm working on these games:
Mario Kart Wii

Child's Play Contest. Win a free game.
Cowzilla3 | 11:32 AM on 11.12.2007 12 comments




So I was hoping to do this the day they launched Child’s Play but unfortunately I was on vacation when that happened. Every year since Child’s Play has started I’ve bought a game for a hospital. I was going to go do that again this year but I thought maybe I could spend 60 bucks elsewhere and raise even more money. So this is my Child’s Play contest in which you can win a brand spanking new game of your choice and all you have to do is donate to Child’s Play. But you say you don’t have a lot of money to spend? Well guess what this contest is still for you because I will also be doing a drawing for a Limited Edition Phantom Hourglass Cell and anyone who donates will be in the drawing. The contest will run until donations close on the page and the winner will be the person with the highest donation.

Here is how it will work. Click the link above and donate. Once you’ve donated send me the amount you gave (or the cost of the item/items you gave) at marazak at gmail dot com. I’m not sure if you can link to your payment confirmation page but if that is possible do so. If that isn’t possible you can forward me your billing receipt that amazons sends you or take a screen capture. There is no information that can allow me to hack your account or anything on the receipts or the billing pages. This can all be faked so I know I’m putting forth a lot of trust for the internet but almost everyone I know here at Destructoid has some sort of heart in their chest and hopefully wouldn’t cheat a small child out of a game for his own benefit. Since I didn’t get this up in time if you have already donated please enter too.

What I’m hoping is that this will get some more people to donate that wouldn’t have and that that way putting my donation towards this will make Child’s Play more successful. If you’re making a donation think of this as away to recoup some of the money, so a $70 donation could become only $10 bucks out of your pocket, of course you have to win for this to happen but hopefully some people are willing to take that risk. So please donate even if you don’t want to enter the contest.

Legal stuff I’m making up:
I’m not affiliated with Child’s Play in any way and this contest isn’t sanctioned by them. Game of your choice can’t cost more than 60 dollars (sans shipping and handling).

The Prize:

Is it possible to give away old games I have that I don't want anymore? I have Tales of Symphonia and FF: Crystal chronicles that I've been trying to get rid of for awhile.
Or would it be too heartless to do something like that?

Cool, I was planning on donating something anyway, now I might get something, other than a clean conscious, out of it!

Atlas kind of covered your What's Happening posts, but then he kept getting sidetracked by toenails. That dude is weird.

Glad to see you have all your organs and stuff.

I have a copy of Tony Hawk's Downhill Jam that's still in the shrink wrap (came with Twilight Princess and Excite Truck when I got my Wii last year). I'm never gonna do anything with it, and if I trade it in, Gamestop will only give me a trade-in value, and I like charity, and my dad is a part of a teaching program at one of the Child's Play hospitals...

Yeah, I'm donating that shit

Does this mean that you are going to do your "what happened" posts again?
