Magnalon's free XBLA/PSN game giveaway
Magnalon | 11:03 AM on 07.23.2009 22 comments




So here's the rub. I'll be giving away one XBLA (R-Type Dimensions) and one PSN (Bomberman Live, with Mr. Destructoid!) redemption code. All you have to do is follow My Twitter, and tweet

If you want R-Type Dimensions



and/or

RT @ChrisCarter_GL: Magnalon is giving away Bomberman Live! RT and follow to win - Rules - http://tinyurl.com/n89mjk #magnalonps3

If you want Bomberman Live



Entries will be accepted at the time of this post until 12AM EST, Friday, July 30th (one week from today).

To all you new twitter users, all you have to do is make an account and copy-pasta that exact message into the text box. At the end of the contest, I'll assign each person a number, and use a random number generator to see who wins. Make sure you're following me so I can direct message you the code!

Rules:

Anyone can enter, even Editors! Of course, you can't win both codes, but you CAN enter both contests if you own both consoles! I'll announce the winners in this same blog, and over Twitter myself.

Just make sure to note that the R-Type XBLA code is restricted to US only, but with Bomberman Live! you can just create an American PSN account to redeem the code (I can give you instructions if needed).

Also, make sure you only tweet it once for each console, otherwise I'll have to disqualify you.

But Twitter blows...

It's safe to assume I'll get some "I hate Twitter, so this sucks" messages. Don't fret! It's just as easy as Destructoid's sign up proccess, and at the end of the contest, you can throw away your Twitter account if you want to! I am a former Twitter hatter, but have grown to like it, if anything just because electrolemon's updates are absolutely amazing.

My hopes are that with this contest I'll get in touch with more community members, and possibly find the hidden location of the second Wiisucks horcrux: MrSadistic.

<3,
Magnalon

I did it, but I have no clue if you "get" the messages. They just show up on my twitter...

@Arttemis and all other new twitter users

The "#" part of #magnalonps3 is a "hash tag". All I have to do is type that in the search function, and every one like it will show up. It shows up on your twitter update, is sent to my private inbox because of the @ChrisCarter_GL, and is added to the "#" database. Hope this helps!
Das Inchworm's Destructoid Blog
fuck these new twitter contests and give away shit in general. Unless someone is in some sort of important industry "hurp durp i found a dollar" just shows how fuckin vain we've become that we think people care..and they will pretend to care, if you pretend to care about their "hurr durr i just ate pizza" / rant

but it's cool that you're doing a contest in the first place.

Awww fuck it, I used to denounce the evils of myspace and facebook and I've had accounts there for years. Damnit, I might as well sign up for Twitter. And this is the contest that made me do it so you should feel proud Mag. I just really want R-Type.

@Das
After trying a few venues in terms of contests, I found Twitter to be the easiest, and most fun way.

I still dislike what Twitter stands for (movie stars telling people "I just had Starbucks today", like people give a shit), but I found it to be a much easier tool to keep up with some community members than Facebook, because a lot of people don't use the forums here. For an insight into how I feel about Twitter, look no further than the Penny Arcade comic I posted above!

HOLY CRAP! Thanks!

I always loved bomberman games, and I was actually reminiscing about Bomberman 64 just the other day! (probably because of this contest, actually)

 about me

I figured a little introduction was in order in case people were curious. My name is Chris, and I have been enjoying Destructoid avidly since late 2008. I finally decided to make an account and start blogging in January of 2009.

I'm in my 20s, I'm newlywed, and I've been playing games since I was 4. I still remember buying my own NES system at Sears and going home and playing Mario/Duck Hunt. Fast forward to the present, my wife and I now own a PS3 and 360, and in the winter of 2009, we bought a Wii simply so we could play New Super Mario Brothers Wii. If I had to choose a system I had the "best times" with, it would be a two way tie between the Sega Dreamcast and Sony Playstation 2.

There are too many good games out to count now, but recently I've been itching to play my backlog of old PS2 action games. I'll play anything and everything action-adventure, so if you have a game in mind, drop me a line!

Are you not satisfied?
