Throw a Bale temper tantrum to win Terminator and Xbox 360 photo

Terminator: Salvation's videogame tie-in released today and to celebrate we've teamed up with Rocket XL to give away yet another Xbox 360, with plenty of Terminator themed goodies. Our grand prize is valued at $500 in all, so you might seriously want to consider entering this one. I guarantee you'll find it fun. 

All you have to do to win an Xbox 360 (NTSC model), a copy of the Terminator: Salvation game, a strategy guide and a 1/6 scale T-700 figurine is this: Recreate Christian Bale's infamous temper tantrum on the set of Terminator Salvation. You can do it in audio form, video form, even comic book form if you have to. Just recreate the Welsh Wonder's furious tirade and the funniest and/or most accurate portrayal will win the goodies. 

For inspiration, we've included a Youtube link to the original tantrum after the jump. If you record a video or sound file, feel free to host it on Youtube or email it to me at jim@destructoid.com. The contest will end on June 15, so make sure you post a link to your creation here, or email me, but that point. 

Simple right? What don't you f*cking understand!?

No. With RocketXL contests, we can ship worldwide by first shipping to our Miami office. That way, anybody can enter.

Is this judged by closeness to the real one, or satire value, or what?

I know the article says both, but I was hoping to get an idea which way to go with it.

Which is kinda pointless, cuz the dtoid staff just picks the one they like best, regardless of any other criteria.

Sounds like a fat project to me, but... you know, I think I will give it a try. I want an XBOX360.

I hadn't heard this before. What a tool.

I suggest that any winning entry must be judged on the ranter's ability to switch in and out of various accents - from Cockney to Brooklyn - without missing a beat. Or a fuck.

Holy Shit, Bundito.

when recording mine, I totally slipped into a Brooklyn accent for a line or two, and when listening back I thought 'should I change that?' But I'm glad I didn't. One fake Welsh accent + one fake Brooklyn accent = win

I had no idea how hard it was to be an actor. Thank you, Destructoid for helping raise awareness about the troubles of inconvenienced, overpaid, arrogant fucktards like Christian Bale. The world will be a better place:P

(i guess this Christian doesn't turn the other motherfuckin cheek)

Jim Sterling: But it would have to be a US region 360 though, right?

Justice: Hahaha, yes, yes it would.

I guess if a UK'er won, they could sell it back to someone in America. :-)

I'll have to see what my resources are like. I actually have a funny idea for this, but I'll need a cameraman and someone else to act in this with me.

Hey Jim, if I do an audio recording, will it be judged upon whether or not I did the additional vocals or is this being based solely upon the Bale Rant itself? I have an idea of how I want to do this, but doing all the different people in the freakout would be somewhat of a bitch.
Your ruling?

As bad as Bale was, I think that the David O Russel/Tomlin scuffle is still king. Oh God, Bale was a cute baby bear compared to O' Russel.

I might have to get something together for this contest...

Fuckin' ass.

-or-



I tried for the life of me to actually do Bale's voice and I failed miserably each time. The mixing of accents was too much for me to be able to scream. My best ones were either the goofy/whiney one or the admittedly lame scruffy Batman one. I saw nothing against multiple entries so y'all get both.
