Free year of xbox live - Contest
kaciesaurus | 2:41 AM on 07.25.2008 29 comments


So, I apparently entered the GTAIV contest that microsoft had, and won 12 months of live.

Buuut, I had already planned on buying the camera bundle, and none of my friends need the subscription.

So, lovely Destructoid, I propose the contest that my boyfriend came up with:

1. Add me on live (gt: kaciesaurus)
2. Get geometry wars 2 (released next wednesday, july 30)
3. Get every achievement
4. Send me a message as soon as you do it
5. Tell me how much you love me (I know it's a lot.)

The first person to get all 200 points and send me a message saying they did it gets the subscription.

I figured this is a game a lot of you would be getting anyway, and I want to give this thing away before I even forget that I have it, so I picked geometry wars 2-- sorry if you don't like it :(


I really hope the achievements aren't insane, I want this to be a semi-easy challenge.

Edit***
The message needs to be sent on xbox live (I just want to be sure everyone understands that)

The game isn't out yet, the last thing I read said it comes out on the 30th. This way everyone has the exact same amount of time to do this.



Is this post awesome? Vote it up!

I got 8th place. I like how 8th place is better than 7th.


if this ends up being too tough, I might change it. It's up to the community, I guess.
Rifter01's Destructoid Blog
Dang... I guess its time to buy this (I didn't realize it was out yet!)

Also, I was thinking of a contest, but this blows my contest idea away.. I'll try my contest next weekend maybe.

What's this contest?
ArrestedDeveloper's Destructoid Blog
I have no chance of winning this, I'm still trying to get the "Survive 1,000,000" on the original Geometry wars.
bloodylip's Destructoid Blog
Wait, wtf? Why is the 6th prize that I won worth less than the 8th prize that you won? Does that seem right to you?
JACK of No Trades's Destructoid Blog
lol WTF Hamza

Why would they do it like that?
galagabug 's Destructoid Blog
jeebus. can't wait for this game, but something tells me some of these achievements are gonna be tough!
Char Aznable's Destructoid Blog
I only got like 4 achievements on the first one, so I clearly lack the Geometry Wars skills needed to enter this.
Kryptinite's Destructoid Blog
THIS IS THE HARDEST CONTEST EVER!!

I'm sure a ton of people will get it though.
ShawnKelfonne's Destructoid Blog
I would enter, but I just bought a 12+1 Live card when I got my 360, so I really don't need it.
Y0j1mb0's Destructoid Blog
Kacie:

I think you should just give me the free Xbox LIVE since I will not pay for it..those other guys will.

Plus my love is overflowing for you.
Ha-Puken's Destructoid Blog
Damn! you beat me to it. I was going to have a contest giving away a free one year subscription to the PSN... oh, nevermind.
Bslashingu's Destructoid Blog

TrailerParkJesus's Destructoid Blog
I just looked at all the achievements, and those look hard as hell. And if there are multiplayer achievements, I'm out because multiplayer is offline only >[ and my friends are not into GW

BUT, I do have all the achievements for the first one... I can has extra credit?
nintendoll's Destructoid Blog
I suck at GW. Have fun, everyone else.
007's Destructoid Blog
Same as Coonskin...
K 2's Destructoid Blog
@bslashingu

I got that same letter. Why are we getting less for getting a higher-placed prize? So retarded.
