WINNERS!!!: Destructoid contest: Win a Nyko Charger Grip! photo

And the winners are!

Professor Pew - Bearded Buttsecks???

Lost Crichton - Asteroids on Steroids

Electro Lemon F*ck you Hemingway!

Guys, please email me your address info to HR@Destructoid.com and I'll get your prizes out asap. Thanks everyone for participating and making us laugh our asses off!

 -C.

Recently Nyko was kind enough to send us a few of their new Charger Grip Lites to check out. We've pried and prodded at it here at Dtoid HQ, stamped it with a seal of approval, and now we're ready to share the wealth. Not only will the Charger Grip allow you to hold the DS with the ergonomic controller curves we know and love in our console controllers, but it also charges the DS while you play it, adding up to 8 hours of additional play time. This would have saved me from DS withdrawal on abysmally long flights!

Anyway, we have three to give away, so here's the deal: Photoshop a pic having to do with Dtoid peeps "gripping" something and post it in the comments. Whether it's Ron Workman gripping a sheep or Niero wringing Nameless Ted's neck, it all counts. I know the temptation is there, but no pics of gripping wangs, ok? You have until November 9th to submit your entries, so get cracking so we can send you some free swag!

(Also hit the gallery to see some pics of the Charger Grip keeping my DS company and size comparison to a boob)

Oh the blurriness!
Use the macro function honey.
Or exchange that camera for a better one.

This thing is sweet, I always get my hands all cramped up playing with both stylus and dpad + shoulder buttons.
