This is the best contest yet taken from an idea started in the C-blogs. Just a suggestion- Can we vote on the top 5 or so

I know chronic logic will get it at some point that guy ALWAYS has something to say

fap fap fap fa-*tear* GOD WHY?!!!!!!!

fap fap! do NOT want!

did i win? 'likely never' implies that there is still a chance i might win...

*sees that the joke has already been beaten into the ground*

Well, I approve of this.

Damnit, now everyone is going to be making penis, poop, and fap jokes for the next months.... Way to go Staff.

@kauza:

Unfortunately, if we were to include comments from the C-blogs as well, we'd have quite a task on our hand each week. For right now, this is front page story comments only. If this goes over well, we'd love to expand it.

@DigDug:

This is an idea we've been kicking around for some time, and just decided to launch; I do know the C-blogs have something similar going on, too. As for the voting, we might do that in the future, so that's a good suggestion, for sure.

And just to throw it out there (and I'm not saying this is the prize for the next week... it is 100% NOT), but I wanted our first Comment of the Week prize to be something big. Like a console. That's not ruled out randomly, in the future, by the way. Just keep your expectations in check, but be ready for some neat surprises.

im toatlly going to win this!

@Takeshi:

I think we'd like to keep the contest open to anyone, anywhere, unless otherwise noted. And to start, we'll be looking at the comments ourselves, pending a more robust system in the future. This is kind of a "test run" right now.

@Endstiem:

That's a pretty rare (and totally awesome) prize; I wonder if I'm eligible.

Wouldn't Jim Sterling win this every week?

'SPLOOODE MAAAAN!! Come together with your hands. SAAAVE MEEE!!

I'd be surprised if I managed to win one of these. Either my comments are dripping with sarcasm, are too long, or are just incoherent.

But hey, that doesn't mean I don't want to be recognized! :3

Cool idea!

This is a great idea. Done by great people.

Now imagine how awesome that article will look when you put my last comment as the winner. Think about it, Nick. Think about it.

What?! Now people are going to write out intelligent, well thought out comments just to wi-....Ooooooh.....

Science?

I slid across the floorboard like a snake, eventually making my way over the lip of the passenger-side doorframe. I fell to the asphalt in a most ungraceful manner, paying the price via the shockwave that traveled down my arm in a tingly, distant pulse. I slid around on my back, kicked the door shut with both feet, and found myself sitting on the highway with my back against the bulk of the pink Cadillac that had driven us to do the devil's deeds. My little black bag was clutched tightly between my chest and forearms and it seemed to carry my very heartbeat. As the adrenaline began to ebb, I became suddenly aware of the report of gunfire that had enveloped us. Panting, I turned to my comrade, who was making himself busy by shooting around the ass-end of the lumbering pink eyesore with deadly precision.

"They have a machine gun!", I shouted over the clucking tongues of gunfire. "Animals!"

My compatriot ducked his head at the sound of a large, hollow bang. Just in time, as it only took his hat and not his scalp. He turned to me, smiling with ebony teeth.

"It appears that they were not satisfied with us simply being the barrel, pal of mine," he laughed "they thought the odds still too highly in our favor!".

I shook my head. The air was thick with heat and madness and I could feel my pulse at my temples. I sat the little black bag between my legs, and reached in with both hands. One withdrew a handful of pills, the other a large revolver that I didn't remember purchasing. I knew what to do with both.

"It has been good to be your friend, Mr. Hell," I said firmly.

He nodded in response.

"You as well, my good Doctor."

I drew breath deep into my lungs, found my zen bonzai garden, and exhaled.

"Well, let's not make a drama of it."

We stood and charged. He laughed and it was beautiful.

oh.hmm.

Do witty pictures count?

I have a feeling you should say no ...

Really Clown? I guess the fact that our numbers for new users and hits continue to grow each month means we're having a hell of a time getting people coming to the site. Oh the humanity.

@Clown: WRONG. We comment anyway, they are just giving away prizes for those that do. Then end result will most likely be more comments, but it's not like Dtiod doesn't get a shit load as it is. Troll harder.

If you want to think of it as a "bribe," so be it. We think of it as giving back (more) to the readers that choose to participate and make Destructoid a great community.

Hamza will win all of them, I see it now.

I would give my first born up for Jim's monocle as a prize for the Comment of the Week while fapping and lieking vidya games. IN CAPS CAUSE ITS CRUISE CONTROL FOR COOL

eeyep.
