Destructoid is gaming news, community, videos, and sometimes love. Take the tour or jump in with Facebook:

 


Win a copy of Legend: Hand of God and a mouse to play it with photo

Yep, that’s right folks; we have even more gaming stuff to give away. Who knew that summer was the season of contests here at Destructoid?

This latest contest is brought to us by the folks over at THQ and New Media Strategies who are celebrating the PC role-playing game Legend: Hand of God's imminent  stateside release. The prizes up for grabs are as follows.

  • One lucky winner will nab a copy of Legend: Hand of God and a Logitech G9 laser mouse.
  • Four other not-quite-as-lucky winners will receive a copy of Legend: Hand of God.


“But Justin, how do I become one of these lucky or not-quite-as-lucky winners?” you may be asking.  Well, since there have been several photography and blogging based contests recently I’m going to make this one easy for all the lazy busy community members out there.

Just leave a comment stating what you would do with an incredibly powerful artifact (like the Hand of God sought after by main character Targon to rid the world of invading demons) that would allow you to alter reality in any one way, but would only function once. Would you make yourself incredibly wealthy, cause orange jell-o to fall from the sky instead of rain, or become Chad Concelmo’s new best friend (which would be a total waste, as everyone is Chad’s best friend)? I don’t need a short story; a single sentence will do fine.

This contest will run until 12 pm on August 1 (this Friday) at which time I will randomly select the five winners, possibly with my large bag of multi-sided dice. And yes, this contest is open to all site members despite country of residence. Hit the jump for Legend’s required system specs if you want to be sure that your aging computer can run it.

Legend: Hand of God system requirements:
Windows XP/Vista
Pentium 4 2.0 GHz processor
1GB RAM
5 GB Hard Drive space
nVidia Geforce 6600/ATI Radeon X1650 with 256 MB Video RAM
DirectX compatible sound card
DVD-ROM drive

I'd return the hand to God. The reward would probably surpass what ever the hand could do alone.

I would defend the pass of Thermopylae with 300 of my brethren soldiers as well as with my G9 Laser Mouse and copy of the PC role playing game, "Hand of God." I would then take 2 of my best soldiers, Vin Diesel and Chuck Norris, and jump off their backs(from the phalanx of course) in order to spear Xerxes with a Spartan baby, cause no other death would be sufficient. Would then proceed to punch every Persian baby till they became the consistency of skittles, as well as drink their tears. and one lucky child will be thrown into the sun for good measure. MADNESS?! THIS IS DESTRUCTOID!!!!!!

I would place the Hand of God in a bowl of warm water as it slept in the night, triggering an epic flood of vile fluid that would wash the earth clean of all sin.

Well, what I would do is quite simple, really. I would use the Hand of God to swim far into the ocean and bring up a large volcano, with this volcano in place in the middle of the ocean, I would simply throw things into it. Not for any reason, really, just to throw things into a volcano. That, and to give a place for Reverend Anthony and Chad to fight.

I would use this hand of god to make myself become SuperMan (but immortal) then, after the hand was used I would use it to hold various papers on my desk or to serve drinks at parties as it would be something hilarious that no one would expect.

"Here's you mai tai Tom"

"Thanks Mike I always..WHOA THERE A FUCKING HAND ON MY DRINK!!"

The whole crowd roars up "LOL, man that Mike does that EVERYTIME and it's funnier each time!"

Life would be good.

I'd use my Hand of God to give the rights to the God Hand franchise back into the snuggly comfort of Platinum Games' awesome.

And then make them make a sequel.

Simply enough, I would use the Hand of God to force game developers to stop releasing crappy bug filled games. Then I would watch EA's stock fall.

I would use the Hand of God to somehow convince Nintendo to start focusing on us core gamers. Because at this point, it's gonna take a miracle.

I'd run like 4 miles to work up a sweat and eats lots of beans and stuff. Then I would use the hand to shove down the backside of my shorts right after I sharted and shake someone's hand with it.

I would use it to bring upon me an entire pod of dolphins to whisk me away from my current place, so Chad and I can have a magical ocean side wedding on dolphin back. Then doves would fly around blessing us with rose petals and fairy dust and.. a shower of retro games! :P Hey, it's just a fantasy.

I would use the Hand of God to teleport myself to the moment in time where Andrew Ryan was getting his face pounded by a golf club by millions of players and give him the sword so he can legitimately defend his face and also making that game moment more exciting.

Give Grashopper Manufacture (the No More Heroes guys) an unlimited budget and tell 'em to make more awesome. Specifically more awesome for the Wii, y'know cause Nintendo certainly won't.

I would give myself permanent access to an infinite supply of cash to use whenever I so desire, accessed in such a way that nobody else could ever discover my large sum of infinite cash and possibly punch me in the face for it. Also on the special condition that it wouldn't end up killing the economy or land me in jail for counterfeits. That would suck.
