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 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.

Screw you Magnalon and screw Twitter. I hate you.
Wait, I already use Twitter? And, wait, I already follow you? Well, forget what I just said. I love you! Twitter rules! Time to RT it up. My followers will just LOVE me today.
You have a new follower in kingphilip. I RT like a muthafucka.
Damnit, I'm gonna have to sign up for twitter for this contest.
Cool beans, I'm always up for some free R-Type. :D
entered :)
Done and done.
Fucking kids, tweeting on my e-lawn.
Seriously, I'm old and find you kids' Twittering strange, confusing and narcissistic. Just give me R-Type damn it!
I already have them both and twitter sucks.
There, somebody had to be the "twitter sucks" guy.
Nice contest dude.
I don't have R-type Dimensions so I'm crossing my fingers and hoping that I win.
I did it, but I have no clue if you "get" the messages. They just show up on my twitter...
I know nothing about this system...
I knew that twitter account was going to be good for something one day...
People need to get over Twitter. Even though it sucks. :)
Hatter, haha.
@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!
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.
I'm in. :)
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!
<Insert obligatory Twitter hate propaganda here>
@Zodiac
Love and Peace <3

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

I PMed it to you - let me know if you got it :D
