Home #LAN parties



Destructoid loves having gaming contests, but we can't be responsible for all of the kickass gaming giveaways on the Internet. This contest is sponsored by NBC Universal and ties into the new movie Smokin' Aces. Together with Machinima.com, they are giving away over a $1,000 to whoever can submit the best gaming kill and raid machinima montages at their Web site.

The contest starts today and runs until Jan. 19, so crack your knuckles and tie your curb stomping shoes -- you've got just under three weeks to make the best death demo reel possible. Not just any killspree or headshot will do -- mix the montage to music like in the video above and make your murders memorable.

The grand prize is $1,000, second is $500, and third is $250, so it might be worth throwing a luxurious LAN party just to capture enough killing for this contest. If you win, I'm sure the money would cover all the pizza and beer you spent on the party. Breaking necks to break even sounds like a deal to me.

Where my AMV contest at? I don't record myself playing games unfortunately...

But I don't have a terabyte of hard drive space for nothing. 600+ gigs of anime...one day I'll use 'em for AMVs...one day...

Yeah, what's a good program for making videos from video games?

I bet I might be able to make some cool kills with Counter Strike or Garry's Mod.

I love how they added in a clip from 2003 of WoW that is absolutely out of place in that clip.

Really you love it? Me too! Shouldn't it be easy as hell for some dude to just submit a minute video of them killing everyone in Gears on Live? Easiest $1000...ever.
