Space Invaders Extreme winners: you people are amazing photo

I don't know why I spend all this time trying to plan different types of contests for you guys to win all this free swag I'm sitting on. All photo contests should be renamed Make The Dtoid Staff Laugh Uncontrollably, because it's always the funny pictures that win. Also, I selfishly like to see pictures of you guys, since the time you spend on Destructoid makes my job possible. Have I mentioned you guys rock?

For the Space Invaders Extreme contest, Furnimus pretty much blew us away by not only showing off his score but by making a grill out of Dtoid heads for his teeth (I called Niero over to see it and he stared for sixty seconds straight before cracking up laughing and yelling "AMAZING!"). We also couldn't get enough of HammerShark and Rio McCarthy's entries, so you three are our winners (check out the pics each winner submitted in the gallery). Congratulations!

Believe it or not, I'm not out of Space Invaders Extreme codes yet, so if you still want to win one, tune in for Twitter Friday and I'll give a few more away there. Thanks for reading!

Thanks you guys! You are all awesome. I spent a lot of time trying to figure out ways to show love to Destructoid for being amazingly awesome. Plus, a Dtoid helmet grill is the coolest thing ever in every way possible. Thanks all. First contest won by me, yay!

Wow, I'm officially never entering a contest here again. After putting tons of thought into my entry, and meticulously cutting out almost 30 individual space invaders 10 inches in size. And easily putting 10 hours of work into it all... I don't see how that wins. Did anyone even go to the second page of entries?

To each their own I suppose though. Congrats to all.

In case anyone missed it, this was my entry:

TimO42's grapes, they are sour.

It was a cool entry though, in his defense.

Dude that's a nice entry but you really shouldn't enter a contest expecting to win, and if losing is going to make you pissed off, why enter? You win some you lose some.

@akathatoneguy: indeed they are sour lol

@Justice: I didn't expect to win at all. I entered bc it gave me something to do. I'm not taking that down from my room for a while, so I still win lol. It's just I feel like Colette didnt even go to the second page of entries by accident. Believe me, I'm not pissed, just voicing my opinion.

Hey, Colette, not sure if my PM sent (never really sent one before) but how do I redeem my prize? Thanks. If it did send, just disregard this.

Thanks a ton, Colette! YOU RULE! :D Man, anytime there's a contest to make the Dtoid staff laugh count me in. I crack myself up uncontrollably in the process. LOL!

I searched for your name on the first contest post and the second reminder post and I could not find it. I'm sorry but I don't think your entered it in the first place. But nice entry anyways.

Congrats to all the winners! And tim042, doing one's best won't always guarantee the prize (don't stop trying, though). Your room still rocks.

She didn't say the funniest would win. I don't know where you got that. But she did, in fact, say "Grand Prize winner will probably go to a high score with something creative added into the mix" in the first post in the comments. And again on the reminder, "Feel free to be creative".

I was simply saying above that accidents happen. I didn't say anything about their abilities of doing their jobs.

Again, I'm not sour. I've now got kick ass room decor lol.

Grats to the winners, I'm just glad I got to tell a story that started with "In a land of dragons and bitches"
