Contest update: Three guys just won Intel Core 2 quad-core desktop processors! photo

See that blue stuff in this photo?  I have to mail all of those out to Destructoid readers. How tedious! Can you help take some of these off my hands?

Click here to play the game

Seriously though, I'm happy to announce this week's random winners for the Skywire 2 game happening through this Friday where three more random players will net $300 and compete in an online game tournament to win these three absurdly fast gaming PCs provided by our friends at Intel and Cyberpower.  They're having a sale on gaming PCs which come with a free copy of Conan: Halfnaked Adventures, so if you're in the market for a PC check out their goods and tell them we sent you.

Congratulations to these fine Dtoiders who will receive a brand new Q9400 Intel Core 2 quad-core desktop processors, as modeled by me and Little Dtoid above.

You boys know the drill: Send me your mailing address at niero [at] destructoid.com (from the email address that matches your profile) and we'll get you the goods.

It's not to late to get in the game -- You literally have less than 72 hours to get your name on this leaderboard for a chance to win something before this match is over, so get on it!  As it stands at this second your odds of winning are one in two hundred -- not bad at all! Don't you wish Destructoid ran your state lottery? The Match 2 finalists will be announced this Friday shortly after midnight 12 AM EST.  Good luck!

PS. Special thanks to Nitrome for lending us their games. You guys rule!

I'd be jealous if I actually knew what the clock speed was. 4x1GHz is all well and good, but it's still 1GHz.

I'm having the same problem as Bez and CelicaCrazed. I've submitted a score several times on several different days but I'm still not on the board.

Fuck I should have entered this. I'm tight for money and I need to buy a new DVD drive for my Wii($70) and I'm trying to finally get my own gaming PC. UGH.

TrickyNicky, Same here but I don't mind. My processor is in decent condition and I rather let others win something that I won't appreciate as much.

I didn't even understand how to post my score that last game. It claimed I was doing it but it wasn't cooperating. :\

I, like many others, still have no idea how one successfully submits a score. I've played and beaten the first level, at which point there is no option to submit a score. I've played and beaten the first level and intentionally died in the second, at which point I've submitted my score (as submission is only possible when you die), and my name did not appear. I beat the first level, right-clicked the game and hit "Play" to start the level over again, died, and submitted my score, which didn't work either. I then played the first level over and over until I had 35,000 points and submitted my score, and still my name did not appear.

What am I missing? I noticed everyone on the leaderboard has a custom icon. Do you have to choose an icon to qualify (however ridiculous that stipulation would be)? Or is everyone scoring well over 35,000 or doing something differently? It's unfortunate that, despite this thread and the other regarding the end of the last competition which both contain a great deal of confused questions regarding how to submit a score, that no one on staff has addressed this issue.

Nah, not Q6600 - they're 2.4 ghz. They're have to be Q9400s.

I had the exact same problem.
It has nothing to do with having a custom avatar.

So I found out a coupla minutes ago, Johnny. Thanks for the reassurance.

Any help from staff would be nice - albeit unexpected at this point...

I've had the same problem. I've tried everything to submit a damn score. This contest is broken/rigged.

You are giving the Dtoid staff too much credit by expecting help.

Sweet I'm still on the leaderboard. Better hurry and end the contest before I get bumped any further down.

Actually, these chips are better than the Q6600. These are on the 45nm process, which makes them Yorkfield or newer. Wait, he says they're Q9400's...so...yeah. Yorkfield. Low-range Yorkfields, but a quad's a quad.

How did you finally get your scores to submit?

I just played the game again. After submitting the score, it took me straight to the leaderboard rather than staying on the game's page.
