Quantcast



Boys and girls, Destructoid is going into crazy over drive mode with all of the contests we're running this month. Thanks to our friends at EA and DICE, we have four copies (two for the Xbox 360 and two for the PS3) of Battlefield: Bad Company to give away. All you have to do to enter is take a picture of yourself doing something bad.

By bad, I mean sort of bad. Like ripping the "do not remove" tag off of a mattress or switching the sugar and salt labels with each other kind of bad. So nothing illegal, nothing that involves hurting your friends or animals, nothing that would get you arrested, and especially nothing that would get you (and us) in trouble with the law. 

You have until 11:59 PM next Monday, June 30th,  to submit a picture of yourself doing something semi-bad. Contest open only to US and Canadians and the picture CAN'T be Photoshopped or edited in the slightest. Leave a comment on this post with the picture you take and specifiy which system you want the game for. The most creative and funniest pictures will win. 






Contests Official Rules



No Purchase Required to Enter or Win

1. Eligibility: Destructoid.com contests are usually provided by sponsors who, due to customs and shipping costs (yay budgets), often limit participation to individuals who are legal residents of the fifty (50) United States (unless otherwise stated) and are 12 years of age. We encourage our overseas friends to be super sneaky and make a friend in the United States who can receive your prize, and then you two figure out the customs/logistics. Be cautious about who you trust, obviously. Employees of destructoid.com, their advertising or promotion agencies, those involved in the production, development, implementation or handling of Contests, any agents acting for, or on behalf of the above entities, their respective parent companies, officers, directors, subsidiaries, affiliates, licensees, service providers, prize suppliers any other person or entity associated with the Contests (collectively “Contest Entities”) and/or the immediate family (spouse, parents, siblings and children) and household members (whether related or not) of each such employee, are *not* eligible and will be fired and publicly beaten if are caught participating. All U.S., federal, state and local and regulations apply.

2. Agreement to Official Rules: Participation in the Contest constitutes entrant’s full and unconditional agreement to and acceptance of these Official Rules and the decisions of the Sponsor, which are final and binding. Winning a prize is contingent upon fulfilling all requirements set forth herein.

3. Entry Period: The start and end dates/times of each Contest (the “Entry Period”) will be posted on the applicable Contest site.

4. Entry: To enter a Contest, follow the instructions on the Contest site. Submission will result in one (1) entry. The number of times you can enter the Contest will be posted on the applicable Contest site. The use of any agencies or automated software to submit entries will void all entries submitted by that person.

5. Drawing: At the conclusion of the Entry Period, we will select the names of the potential winners in a random drawing of all eligible entries received during each Entry Period. The number of winners to be selected in a specific Contest will be posted on the applicable Contest site. The odds of being selected as a potential winner depend on the number of eligible entries received during the Entry Period. Potential winners will be contacted via email and will be asked to provide their full name, age and mailing address within a specified time period. If a potential winner does not respond within the timeframe stated in the notification email, we may select an alternate potential winner in his/her place at random from all entries received during the Entry Period. Limit one (1) prize per household per Contest.

6. Requirements of the Potential Winners: Winners will be notified by the e-mail address associated with their account on destructoid.com.com and/or receive a Private Message on destructoid.com.com or through a Twitter Direct Message/Facebook message. Winners have five (5) days from the original message alerting them of their winnings to respond and claim their prize. If no winner comes forward within five business days, the prize will be forfeited and raffled again where Destructoid's hardcore fans are most active (forums/community blogs/facebook group).

7. Prize(s): The prize(s) (including each prize’s approximate retail value) available to be won in a specific Contest will be posted on the Contest site. No cash or other substitution may be made, except by the Sponsor, who reserves the right to substitute a prize with another prize of equal or greater value if the prize is not available for any reason as determined by the Sponsor in its sole discretion. The winners are responsible for any taxes and fees associated with receipt or use of a prize. Prizes will be mailed between 1 to 45 business days after winners have replied with their required info.

8. General Conditions: In the event that the operation, security, or administration of the Contest is impaired in any way for any reason, including, but not limited to fraud, virus, or other technical problem, the Sponsor may, in its sole discretion, either: (a) suspend the Contest to address the impairment and then resume the Contest in a manner that best conforms to the spirit of these Official Rules; or (b) award the prizes at random from among the eligible entries received up to the time of the impairment. The Sponsor reserves the right in its sole discretion to disqualify any individual it finds to be tampering with the entry process or the operation of the Contest or to be acting in violation of these Official Rules or in an unsportsmanlike or disruptive manner. Any attempt by any person to undermine the legitimate operation of the Contest may be a violation of criminal and civil law, and, should such an attempt be made, the Sponsor reserves the right to seek damages from any such person to the fullest extent permitted by law. The Sponsor’s failure to enforce any term of these Official Rules shall not constitute a waiver of that provision. In case of a dispute as to the owner of an entry, entry will be deemed to have been submitted by the authorized account holder of the screen name from which the entry is made. The authorized account holder is defined as the natural person who is assigned to an e-mail address by an Internet access provider, online service provider, or other organization responsible for assigning e-mail addresses for the domain associated with the submitted e-mail address.

9.Release and Limitations of Liability: By participating in the Contest, entrants agree to release and hold harmless the Contest Entities from and against any claim or cause of action arising out of participation in the Contest or receipt or use of any prize, including, but not limited to: (a) unauthorized human intervention in the Contest; (b) technical errors related to computers, servers, providers, or telephone or network lines; (c) printing errors; (d) lost, late, postage-due, misdirected, or undeliverable mail; (e) errors in the administration of the Contest or the processing of entries; or (f) injury or damage to persons or property which may be caused, directly or indirectly, in whole or in part, from entrant’s participation in the Contest or receipt of any prize. Entrant further agrees that in any cause of action, the Contest Entities’ liability will be limited to the cost of entering and participating in the Contest, and in no event shall the Contest Entities be liable for attorney’s fees. Entrant waives the right to claim any damages whatsoever, including, but not limited to, punitive, consequential, direct, or indirect damages.

10. Disputes: Except where prohibited, entrant agrees that any and all disputes, claims and causes of action arising out of, or connected with, the Contest or any prize awarded shall be resolved individually, without resort to any form of class action. All issues and questions concerning the construction, validity, interpretation and enforceability of these Official Rules, entrant’s rights and obligations, or the rights and obligations of the Sponsors in connection with the Contest, shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law rules (whether of the Commonwealth of Virginia or any other jurisdiction), which would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the Commonwealth of Virginia.

11. Contest Results: To enter the contest without needing to buy/sell anything or request a written copy of the name of the winners, send a self-addressed stamped envelope (stating the specific Contest you are requesting the winners for) to destructoid.com Contest Winners 260 King Street Suite 883, San Francisco California 94107. We run many contests, so please be specific in what you are requesting. Winner requests must be received within thirty (30) days from the end date of the applicable contest (they're always posted on our site though). Winners are usually posted the day following the contest on our contest section.

Lastly, Destructoid has the right to kick your ass and take away your prize if you are a total dickhead, so be cool and don't kick any puppies on your way to victory. Have fun with our contests and be a good sport when you win or lose. Remember: First you get the power, then you get the money, then get the baby.

I'll see what I can come up with in earnest.

Would "Supamanning that hoe" be considered too bad?

I did this tonight. I was pretty bad. Being a terrorist and all.



Then I did this in my third game. It was pretty bad too.



Both are in the same vein so I guess you can count em as one. Not exactly switching the labels on salt and sugar though.

PS3 version should the unlikely happen.

I have a picture of my friend hanging from a lightpost about 6 meters over a street, I sat on my knees under him raising my arms. A police actually stopped and called us monkeys, so I don't think it could be seen as illegal.

...but, I'm from Europe and you are all racists and child molesters!

I'm correcting you when I clearly don't have the level of clout to do such a thing. I'm also doing it in such a way that ensures everyone will see your mistake forever, disgracing your name as an editor. Is that bad enough?

Not a lot of faith that I'll win, particularly in light of Merry Ho's very bad behavior, but I'd take a 360 version if you felt so inclined.

That's right bitches. I took down my earlier picture and am posting it up ONCE AGAIN. Anyways, as to what Ho said, I got really frustrated trying to crop out that white shit so I just took it down...

Anyways, this is what my life was and it's BAAADDD. I'm also very bad for creating upwards of 3 posts and not accomplishing ANYTHING!

I'm watching my uncle's house for the week. And he happens to have a 360 he got as a gift. My uncle's a bit clueless about RROD, but this prank wouldn't have worked on me, I would've checked my av cord first. My uncle? Techno-phobic. Heh heh.

First: 360 cover off, hospital tape and white cardboard.

Then: Put it all back, the cable out for pic purposes, I'll have it loosely in the back. Now I wait for the turn on in a week. (I had the lighter so you can see my face...(-_-))

If I win (in which case, I would like the 360 version, please), I will post a c-blog with the reaction (maybe with or without video).

@everyone who has posted pictures without themselfs in it

"All you have to do to enter is take a picture of yourself doing something bad."

correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think anime porn or screenshots count as pictures of yourself.

I'm exempt from that rule because I never learned to read.

@ Braulio

unless you took that picture yourself, I don't think so.
