Contest: Win 3 copies of Mirror's Edge or Fallout 3, also last week's winners photo

I'm more than a little fashionably late on this announcement but nevertheless I'm rolling up in here like Robot Santa (somebody please Photoshop that for future use).  Congratulations to these three Dtoiders (smooth skins!) that just won a copy of Fallout 3:

dtoid_Pauliwallnuts

Please shoot me an email at niero [at] destructoid.com with your console of choice and mailing address and we'll get those right out.

Want to score more new released games without having to pay for squat?  We're giving away 3 more games next week:  Your choice of Mirror's Edge or Fallout 3 (any platform) or Ninjatown on the DS, which I finished last night at 4am and can't recommend enough.   Didn't win it?  Hit the jump to find out how.

How to win:

All you have to do is post a comment to support my extra curricular blogging activities over at WePC.com, where a few bloggers are talking about building futuristic computers that dont' suck.  This week's topic is about the concept of performance.  What does that actually mean in gaming laptops? Raw power? A premium dongle? Something else?

The general consesus so far is a giant video card with a notebook attached instead of vice versa.  I tend to agree, but solely focusing on a clamshell with muscle has made for some unsavory and otherwise butt-ugly computers in the past.  I think its important to note the nuances inbetween, like future-proofing and portability.

Why this contest is awesome:

Asus has pledged to actually build and sell our crowdsourced gaming notebook idea, which is pretty exciting in my pants. By sharing your ideas your registered to win the games and influence what the hell this thing will look like.

1.  Register with a username beginning with dtoid_(yourname) so I know you're one of our guys.  Represent!

2.  This is a random drawing contest.  Just a comment anywhere on WePC.com or better yet -- post your own idea or draw a concept for a better gaming laptop.  You can post as many times as you want -- each time you post your odds of winning goes up.  

3. Look for the winners on Monday the 24th to see if you've won! Good luck, Dtoiders!

Does commenting more, increase our chances, or should we only do it once?

You can post as many times as you want -- each time you post your odds of winning goes up. The way we do the drawing is by getting a list of activity starting with dtoid_ then we pick 3 random numbers from the set. You can only win once though -- we're giving away 9 more games in the coming weeks!

@Neiro

If we already typed up a blog for the last draw, does it still count towards this one?

I covered a few bases in my 1st blog on there and don't want to blog spam the place...

Thanks!

I am a bit confused, do you win one of the three titles above or a PC in this contest? Because I want NinjaTown.

@ Monodi: One of the three titles, your choice.

Question: Do the comments have to be "productive" and/or related to the actual article?

Nillerus - the contest is open to everybody overseas, too. If you're overseas you get $50 certificate instead of the physical copy of the game.

Screw geography, we have the internet!

Heretic, you got banned. I don't think comment as many times as you want meant needlessly spam.

I'm not an admin on that site :( Intel/Asus run it. So there you go - don't post 400 abrupt comments or they will think you're a spammer.
