Destructoid PAX contest ends in 3...2...1... photo

The Destructoid community blog contest which will allow one lucky reader, or more appropriately, "writer",  to join Dtoid at PAX as an honorary member of the staff is at an end. If you would like to be considered for this contest, please say so in the comments. If you only have one or two clogs you'd like to use an entries, then please provide direct links to those instead. If any of you have been saving your post on the corrolation between videogame music and infantile pseudopsychosis, now's the time to set it live. 

Remember, currently only your hotel and ticket are covered so if you need to do unthinkable acts for airfare or other transportation, you might want to slap on those kneepads and get crackin'. To help us screen finalists, please be prepared to make a short video of yourself explaining why you want to go to PAX or what you like about videogames and waffles or whatever, preferably sans the frontal nudity and Q Lazzarus. These videos will be shown only to Dtoid editors and not the public at large, unless you state otherwise. No weirdies!

See one of you lucky bastards in a couple of weeks...

If I had to pick some articles, they'd be these two hardhitting pieces of journalism.

Hot damn. I'll be back in a second after I proofread my piece on plot twists in games.

how did you get that picture from pax last year? I didn't remember seeing any rafters or anything.

See how packed it was everyone? its because the showfloor was so small last year, this year it will be so much bigger

Though it is obvious that I should be the winner, I think a big vote should go to Tristero. He has a variety of pieces, including interviews and contests, win.

I would like to submit my portfolio of blogs. It varies between editorial articles to see how I personally write and news articles that show that I can write professionally. In particular Haley, I would like you to give special notice to "Destructoid Univeristy" and "The Mystery of Gaming Nostalgia". Good luck to everyone!

Hmm. Well, the 26th is my birthday...

*cough*

Anyway, I know how to report the hard hitting news.

link

I encourage growth in the c-blogs use.

link

I break news stories that slip under the d'toid radar.

link

And I provide excellent how-to's

link 1
link 2
link 3

In conclusion, I make an excellent choice for an editor because, I post constantly, I'm the wild cannon of the c-blog mafia, and I not only think I'm funny, but drunk people tell me I am.

MaximusPaynicus gets another one of my votes (as though Im a voter).
Hard hitting research
He has a heart
Good Reviewer

Also, for one day he made all hell break loose on the internets, he was able to get threads banned on NeoGAF for people talking at all about this news story (that was later retracted, but the whole incident was amusing and got picked up by everybody). Google: "tokyo game show" "xbox 360 rally"

I've been working it. I did some hard thought out but mostly unread essays, and of course the news and reviewswhen possible.

And funny stuff.

So, I tried. :)

Oh, if only I had the spare cash to fly my ass out there. Not that I'd win necessarily, but I would've liked to've tried. Oh well. I shall have to crunk it up with you ladies and gentlemen some other time. SAD PANDA. :(

There was a competition? I got nothing but some shitty vids and news nobody care about.. And no way to pay for it either. If being frontpaged is any measure, I got a feeling who will win it ;)

I love how the Army will potray their services as a movie in their commercials and market it to gamers as though it's some kind of a realistic simulation. Really disgusts me, may they all make it home but I really hate their advertising.

I have handed off the decision-making process to the rest of the Dtoid staff so it's all up to them now. A winner or the finalists will be contacted shortly. Remember to prep a video just in case...
