CONTESTOID: It's easy! Super fun happy win now!
 by Spykron on 01.12.2008      10 comments




Hello there D-toiders. This is an update on the contest that was posted on Sunday. New text is in bold.

I am Spykron and I assist with the managing of a GameStop in Massachusetts. We have A LOT of random pre-order swag lying around in my store and I thought "why not give it away to you guys." Because we don't want it anymore.

So heres the deal. I will be visiting fellow d-toider ShadokatRegn next week (13th-18th) in the mile high city of Denver. We have been friends for years now and I am proud to have brought her strength into His Robots Army.

Anyway, neither of us has much money, so we are looking for fun, creative ideas of things to do. You submit the ideas, we do the things and take a picture, the 3 ideas that we had the most fun with will win!

:OFFICIAL RULES:

How to enter:
1. Open to all d-toid members. Must have a mailing address to get your prize.
1b. I'm really sorry, but I have to limit this to Canada/USA. I hate to exclude members of the community, but I really can't afford 100 bucks to ship over seas. :-( super sad face...
2. Just post your idea in the comments section. There will be more than one blog posting of this contest. Shadokat will probably repost under her name as well. You only need to submit your idea once on one blog, but if you want to post multiple times, go ahead. Feel special!
3. Submit as many ideas as you want.

Rules on submissions:
1. Ideas must cost nothing, be legal, and safe.
2. Nothing sexual guys, plz, srysly.
3. Be fucking creative. Creativity wins it.
4. We dont have time or money to travel far, so ideas must take place in the city. Or in a place you would expect a big city like Denver to have. (Malls, McDonalds, etc..)
4b. Also, don't get too elaborate. We're kind of lazy. It shouldn't take longer than 15-20 minutes to do your idea.
5. Ideas must produce an Epic picture. The final picture of the event is something you should keep in mind. (I have a tripod and a timer, if that helps)
6. The ideas don't have to be something we need to leave the house for.
7. Also, creativity.

Deadline:
Jan 16th 2008

Winners:
1. Spykron and Shadokat reserve the right to ignore/preform as many ideas as they choose.
2. We will agree one a top 3 of the best ideas/resulting pictures and post them. Along with any other interesting crap that might happen along the way.
3. Winners announced sometime around the 20th.

Make sure to keep checking entries in the other reposts, please.

My completely original idea that has never been done before: If one of you has a cat, you could put the cat in random, strange places and then add a caption that says something witty in incorrect grammar! Hah! Brilliant!

Any snow up there? Have a "video game related snowman building contest". Invite random people off the the street if they realize what's going on to help out/call those people out in an epic snow battle.

If one of you have a video camera you could do a broken pixels?msy3k style parody commentary thing and post it on destructoid. If you are able to throw some epic credits in there and you have a great vid on your hands.

Do you have axes at home? In that case, go to a local walmart and pretend to be landscapers, and whistle at EVERYONE that walks buy.

Dress up in flannels, put in goofy teeth (50 cents out of a vending machine) and act like super rednecks.

Bring a portable, battery powered radio, set it up in a public place (walmart, mall, Mcdonald's) and put a hat in front of it with change in it... then dance for money

Try a mustach TV, put a mustach on a piece of scoth tape ,with a sharpie marker, and put it in the middle of your televiosion. Then you watch the hilarity ensew.

Go to the nearest McDonald and ask for the latest McDonalds 360 game. Get belligerent if they reference the recent Burger King (OK, not so recent) vid game promotion and demand to speak to their vile clown leader! Ask to speak to the manager and let the hilarity ensue as you videotape it.

Smash mailboxes

Crash a wedding, then start a fight and make a big scene

eat a ton of nutmeg... you'll hallucinate

Go out in public with sheets over your body, and try to scare people by saying 'BOO!' Do it in tasteless fashion for lulz (i.e. funeral, church, graveyard, brothel, crack den)

Nice prizes and what a way to show the creative of a gamer.

Login now, honorable robot

I'm 22 and I like video games!!! I'm a cheap-ass about it so I rarely have the newest stuff.

I own NES, SNES, Genesis, Sega Saturn, N64, Dreamcast, GBA, GBA Micro, GBA SP, DS lite, PSP slim, PS2, and a 360 Elite.

Also a PC of course, and the best game ever is Starcraft.

I work at Gamestop in Westfield, MA as assistant manager. Most Gamestops arn't cool. Mine is.

Other than games, I like photography, graphic design and hiking/camping. My hobbies are expensive :-(
