Microsoft launched a new contest/viral marketing thing today. Basically they give you clues, and you have to search around the internet to find a word that matches the clue, which will have a green 'x' in the word. the more clues you get right, the more chances you have to win, supposedly.

Anyway, I clicked on the "partners" link. Down at the bottom of the list is the destructoid logo, which of course links back here.

I assume this means that clues will be left somewhere on this website soon, since I don't think Destructoid has the money to be sponsoring prizes :P

I guess this means Microsoft likes us better than other gaming sites too. :)

Hmm... interesting. I'll truly believe it when Niero says so
Hmmmm...wtf is this. I wonder....
And I hate flash sites...just saying.
Niero makes it happen, and BTW being the broke-ass underdog site of the net, Destructoid has been more than suitable as far as giving out games/consoles for their prizes.

Just sayin.
maybe the staff is bound to secretive silence...
I wonder if the clue will have to do with dolphins, robots, or drinking. Or all three.
Man, this is actually fun looking for the words with a green X in them though. Totally not doing anything else at work until I find them all.
It's true.
Just because it's on the internets doesn't mean its legit.
Yashoki - Xbox.com links to it, so it's a legit MS promotion.

Snaileb - I didn't mean that Dtoid doesn't give away good prizes, just that they probably don't have a lot of extra cash floating around to pay for prizes for someone elses contest.
I love bees
Drunk-Robot-Ninja-Dolphins?
I've been doing this; half the words I've found that were right answers aren't actually highlighted in green on the pages, and the supposed answer for #10 that has a green X in it doesn't currently work.
No you're right, I completly agree. I think the translation got lost..

I mean.. the prizes they've been giving out have been pretty lush for such a low brow site.
If this is true, it's at pretty cool idea.
And now I apparently can't guess on #10 anymore. LAME.
Am I the only one who considers posting a green X on Dtoid and just checking that one off?
I think Grim just pre-emptively owned Yashoki.
If it means more prizes for the community, then I'm all for it.
Based on the title of this blog, I was hoping we would win rich baby robot.
Well that was fun while it lasted. Found all the special "x words". I guessed the correct answer on a few of them. Not to hard.
I've found 4 of them so far. How many have you guys found?
@deathsaw

i found them all :). Needless to say I was bored at work
lol, win a 360, play with it for a week or so, send it back and wait 6 weeks to get a new one
@Kryptinite

I'm bored at home and the only one I need is Samsung. Although a lot of them I guessed on and got it. 3 of them.
the samsung and the harry potter ones were the hardest ones to find for me... i guessed the harry potter one though, but then tried tracking it down on the site too...


if you want a hint for the samsung one, follow the link from the partners page, instead of just going to samsung.com... it's a few links down from that
that's cool.
This is a decidedly annoying contest. I can't for the life of me find either the Condemned one or the C&C3 one. I'm still working on the Samsung word.

Dammit, the things I do for a 360...
haha, I didn't know they announced us already. Guess its time to hit the home page!
