Contest reminder/extension: Get your tackling videos in to win a PS3 and more!

Contest reminder/extension: Get your tackling videos in to win a PS3 and more! photo
     video

How many of you would like a PlayStation 3 for free? Hmm? I’m seeing lots and lots of metaphorical Internet hands high in the air right now, so why haven’t we gotten more entries for our Blitz: The League II giveaway?! You can win a PS3, a copy of Blitz: The League II, an authentic NFL helmet, and a number of other cool prizes -- so what are you waiting for? Start filming, people!

Since I’ve gotten a few complaints about the restrictive nature of the time limit, as well as the due date being the night of Halloween, I’m extending both the video length (from 1 minute to 2 minutes) and the contest itself: the new deadline is 11:59 PM EDT on November 2, 2008 (that’s Sunday night). So now you have no excuses -- I don’t want to hear about how your Halloween hangover lasted into Saturday afternoon, or how you were too busy doing research on Barack Obama’s (tenuous) link to some ’60s activist named Bill Ayers.

For all the details, hit up the original contest post, and remember, folks: the funniest video wins, so make me laugh! If you want some more info on the game itself, check out a Hit Targeting trailer after the jump (it’s NSFKotS -- i.e., kids or the squeamish) and our Q&A with the Lead Designer of Blitz: The League II, David Friedland.

I would probably enter, except I feel dejected from not winning the Mushroom Men contest, and also I don't have a football, and also I already own a PS3.

My sister somehow obtained a football last week. If I didn't have papers due, I would totally enter this.

Listen, we all know the funniest thing in the world is a guy getting hit in the groin with a football. Just tackle him after that happens and you've got a PS3.

If those gushy bloody tackles happen in game, I might just buy this as I enjoyed the Xbox/Ps2 one.

Also Canada now is like, 1 to -5 degrees Celsius some days so I gave up on this...lol

Hey Samit can we use effects like slowing down time?

@emotoaster: As long as it satisfies the requirements I outlined in the original post and this one, I don't care. I just want it to be funny!

I'm no pansy, but that video is unnecessarily gruesome.

I've been trying since last week to find someone who actually owns a football. My friends are all nerds.

I've finished about half of mine! It's good to know that I don't have to do the rest of the shooting tonight. Having daylight (Saturday, namely) will be good for the rest of it!

Hey man, I only got 1 minute and everyone else gets 2?! That's not fair. If they can't do it in 1 minute that's there problem they don't deserve to win. Cuz I made my video in 1 minute and it's great, I wanted 2 do a whole segment, but I got 1. I understand if you have low submissions though, I'm just saying you can't please everyone, you made the rules, not them. if they can't follow, then they just have an epic fail and NO PS3 4 YOU!!!
