Sweet, free swag possibilities are always good
I sold my 360 and COD 4..
Dammit.... and I'm going to be away from my 360 for next weekend. This sucks.
Yesss.....I'll be there :)
If only I hadn't stopped playing CoD... if only!
you can count me in
Canadians left out of the Livefire weekend AGAIN?? WTF!
I don't why the guy's nick name isn't "The Pulverizer". IT MAKES PERFECT SENSE!
I feel like wardrox had his heart broken by an ex-lover, and that is why he speaks of CoD4 the way he does.
Look, man: we know you love it. It's okay, it isn't going to trample over you like she did; release your inhibitions and tell IW's greatest creation how you truly feel.
Oops. Please excuse my presumption, I meant to say "it isn't going to trample over you like he or [/i]she[/i] did."
Do we have to play well? I'll enter if all we have to do is play Call of Duty 4. I can do that much.
We will have to show them the meaning of the word Jellocopter.
ooooo, I'm in. Grim, you should post this story again in a week to remind us of the event.
Also, my heckalobster goes swa, swa, swa.
why have live in canada if we cant enjoy the contests
NO PURCHASE NECESSARY. Open only to legal residents of the 50 United States (includes the District of Columbia) and Canada 18+. Game ends April 20, 2008. Skill-testing question required for Canadian residents. For details including free, alternate method of entry, see the Official Rules.
I'm skeptical that anyone actually wins things in these weekend contests. Can anyone here say otherwise?
Sweet, Jens Pulver! I've heard before that Jens is really, REALLY into WoW but didn't know he liked CoD4. Of course, since I live in the Quad Cities I see Jens and many others at the mall or Wal-Mart pretty often, but still, pretty cool!
And yes, I'm bragging. There has to be some upside to living along the Iowa/Illinois border, don't take that away from me now.
I doubt anybody ever wins anything substantial.
i dont go with pulverizer cause well its to simple lol. I have had the nickname lil evil for awhile now. anyway just wanted to stop by and drop a line and say whats up. for those of you coming to frag me or even worse knife me, go easy i have been pc for so long i am not use to the controlers. i will see ya all on the 19th. oh and meplaygames love the profile pic, teabag ftw.
this is too funny...jens pulver on destructoid. give it up for the man, he was a pretty good coach on the UFC and from a coaching perspective handed BJ his ass-and this coming from a bigtime bj penn fan. loadout the m16, jens, its the best gun in the game. good luck!
Open only to legal residents of the 50 United States (includes the District of Columbia) and Canada 18+.
FUCK YOU!
I've met Jens Pulver at a local MMA event in my hometown. One of the nicest guys you'll ever meet. He really is a stud. Read up on his life story too, its pretty amazing what he went through growing up. Don't forget to check him out in WEC on June 1st when he takes on Urijah Faber for the featherweight belt. Put him in a body bag!!
Little Evil Fanboy? Yes... Yes I am. So what?
I'm glad I live in the US where I have the freedom to join in on this fun.
STILL no PS3 love? destructiod you shame me.
Seriously, I never understood the reasoning behind giving away a 360 as a prize if you need to own one to win.
ive had a big problem with these xbox live events, even though they are offered to residents of canada(18+) i never seem to be able to properly register, always says the program is not offered in my region or area, do you guys think contacting xbox live could do me any good?
