World Cup Contest: Win Dragon Age or Mass Effect 2!
bluexy \| 2:07 PM on 07.02.2010	30 comments

Hey Dtoiders, I'm super excited about the World Cup. So to commemorate the ridiculousness of the whole thing, I'm throwing a contest! I'll give you the details in just a moment, but first: What can you win?

Prizes for this glorious soccer contest include PC copies of Dragon Age: Origins, Mass Effect 2, Jade Empire and Mass Effect! That's right, BioWare games! It has nothing to do with the World Cup, but that shouldn't stop you from entering!

Now here are the details you've been waiting for. What do you have to do to win one of these excellent games?

Contest 1: Photoshop a vuvuzela into a screenshot of a dramatic or otherwise hilarious video game moment.

* First Place: Dragon Age: Origins
* Second Place: Jade Empire

Contest 2: Use a drawing program (like Paint), or hand-draw your favorite video game character with a vuvuzela. Bonus points for creativity, multiple characters, and context!

* First Place: Mass Effect 2
* Second Place: Mass Effect

How to submit: Just leave your image in the comments below, tweet it to me @bluexy, or if your prefer anonymity mail it to rory[at]gamerant[dot]com!

Bonus Rules:

* US Only Shipping - Sorry internationals, boxes are expensive to ship. Still, feel free to join in on the hilarity! If there's enough international participation, I'll add a bonus prize via Steam. I mean it, I'll spend $30 for a prize if you submit internationals!
* One Prize Per Contestant - Feel free to enter for both contests as many times as you like, though!
* Contests Ends July 11 - After the World Cup is over, so is the contest! May be extended another week depending on participation.
* Rules Subject to Change - I know I'm forgetting something, but that covers the important bits I believe.

There you have it, Dtoiders! Looking forward to some amazing submissions!

Feel free to follow me on twitter, where I'll be updating everyone on the latest submissions @bluexy.

Note: Yes, I'm also running this contest on the site I edit/write for, but this is my personal contest. There is no expectation/requirement that you visit the other site. I'm just trying to give away my own stuff for free, in a fun way. Destructoid has always been my home and I couldn't not make the contest available here.

@Wodashin

Your sir, are a god, lol.

Daxelman

Can the original prize be through Steam?

Daxelman

And where do you guys get the Vuvu's without the backgrounds?

@Daxelman
Not what you want to hear but I had to use photoshop. One the upside though my 8bit Vuvu is all me and my mouse with no fancy program in between.

Daxelman

Damn. Well, Xzyliac is always telling me that Dragon Age is shit. Maybe this is God's way of telling me to listen to my boss.

I'll fuck around with Gimp and see what I can muck up.

Wodashin

Thanks mix. I'm just now being active so I'm hoping to do some good around the community and get some blogs running and such.

NoMore

Damn contests that require creativity!

Wodashin

Nes and Snes games are probably going to make this much easier.

bluexy

Epic, this contest has already made me laugh ten times more than expected. So worth it. :D

bluexy

@Daxelman Yes Dax! The International Prize will have to be through Steam. That way I don't have to pay shipping!

VUVUZELA! Oh you will see something from me before this is done.

Wodashin

Am I entering too many entries? I think so, but I'm doing it because this is actually quite fun.

bluexy

Wodashin', your entries are epic. Please keep going heheh :)

smurfee mcgee

Oh yeah. I must enter this.

Wodashin

What contest do these fit though? I'm using paint, and I draw the vuvuzelas, but I'm not really photo shopping them in. I'm more adding them O_O Hopefully this doesn't mean they count for nothing.

I changed all the weapons to vuvuzelas, more kid friendly that way. :P

Wodashin

God of Vuvuzelas

Wodashin

So, does this next picture count for the Dragon Age contest or the Mass Effect contest? I mostly had to create parts of the sprites since some parts were missing, and reposition a bit by drawing new arms etc.. I'm drawing more than I am photoshopping, and I'm just adding a bg and such. All done in paint as well.

bluexy

Which would you like, Wodashin?

Wodashin

Well, I'd prefer the Mass Effect contest, but I'm fine with either. I'd be fine if only the AvP was for Mass Effect. That should be fine.

I'm trying to find something to hand draw as well, to be more true to the drawing rather than pixel art stuff.
