Contestoid: Super Swag Blowout UPDATE
 by Spykron on 01.09.2008      15 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.

Is there snow there?

Find a hill, build a snow-Destructoid head with a sloped back, then sled down and launch off the head. Epic picture ensues.

Walk around with a homemade dtoid helmet and only respond to conversation with beeps or boops. Go to a 7-11/Wal-Mart and try to buy something for maximum lulz.

Go to your grocery store and buy one grape.

Hide bananas in an overcoat when you're buying your food. Be sure the cashier/whatever can see you.

I know i am elegible, but hey, at least it could be fun.
You need: Dance mat+console compatible with dance mat+fighting gmae compatible with console that is compatible with the dance mat.

Idea:
Play with the objects decirbed. Alcohol rules are always a must.
Try to beat yourselves with 2 dance mats, or beat the game. Try to hand stand and fight, try not to make donkey kong moves trying to beat the other guy, try both ppl in same dance mat, etc.
Also fun.

Falcon Punch each other off something about a foot high (or looks a foot high). The picture should have both of you falling to your backs at the same time with your fists out.
...Now I wanna do that. :D

PS: Put some cushions under you in case you don't want the fall to hurt, as long as you can't see them in the shot. Or don't. Completely optional.

Hate these kind of comps. What's the point if its kept local? Have you guys never heard of international airmail.

Already jacked into Dtoid?
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 :-(
