Win a copy of Overlord: Raising Hell for the PS3! photo

Hello Dtoid people! Once again, you now have the chance to scour the depths of your creativity in the hopes of getting some swag. This contest is based upon the ingenuity that was displayed by the comical minions featured in last year's game, Overlord for the 360/PS3. The sequel, Overlord: Raising Hell, is currently available on shelves, but if you're a PS3 owner and are desiring your very own copy, then you're going to have to buckle down and put on your "minion hats," if you will.

Minions - the Overlord’s dutiful servants in Overlord: Raising Hell are very resourceful in combat.  When players send them to attack a foe or to scavenge for items, the minions will take whatever they can get their hands on to make impromptu armor and helmets — be it from pumpkins, pots and pans, or even rat carcasses!  Now your site’s readers can display their ingenuity and “minion aptitude” to the world by coming up with their own stylish headgear! Five winners will receive a copy of Overlord: Raising Hell for the PS3.

So, to participate in this contest and win a copy of this game, all you have to do is grab whatever you can find around your house and come up with the most creative minion-esque headpiece that you can find. Like the minions in Overlord; creativity is key. Grab a cat, a mouse, or a cat in a mouse that's in house that happens to be on top on a pumpkin pie, and place it on your head for all to see.

Post that picture in the comment section below to be entered into the contest, but be warned, there are only five copies available for the contest (there may also be a super secret prize for an above-and-beyond entry!!). And anyone trying to rock a robot helmet is automatically beaten by our mechanical leader's already awesome chapeau -- so try for something different. 

As I've been told, this contest is worldwide. It begins NOW, and goes until Sunday, July 13th at midnight (PST). Good luck, and remember to be creative! Dyson knows you have it in you.

I'd love to have the expanded one. I really enjoyed it on the 360.

Now, what kind of hat can I find....

Here's liam2015's crack at it:


{pardon shitty camerphone quality =(}

I put a lava lamp on my head. The towel is there because that thing is freaking HOT! At the top is a little happy birthday cake. I put that there cause I felt it needed something more, and because my birthday is on the 15th, and this game would be an awesome present.

Not that I'm trying to win you over with sympathy.

Also, I live under the freeway, and feed of the remainders of what the while dogs leave behind. Just thought you should know.

Also also, wilbo should be guaranteed a copy right now.

I dug the 360 demo but never got around to buying the full game, so I'm going to give this a shot. Now I just have to think of something (in?)decent to throw on my head...

I might have to re-take these pictures...

That's a Sonic hat with Classic Sonic hanging off the side holding Sonic 2, "New" Sonic sitting at the top with Sonic 3 & Knuckles, with Knuckles' Chaotix and Sonic 3D Blast behind the ears:



The top of it in blurry detail:


The bottom of it that got cut off:

Damn I'm stupid, didn't even think to click on the BBcode help thing
Sorry about the quality i had to use the web cam built-in to my laptop.





A rundown of whats on there:
The mask covering my face is a respirator my dad got when he used to work in phosphate mine
then there is a metal bowl on top of that which you can't really see, then theres a stuffed dog, then on that dogs head there is an orc mauler figurine battling a model of an M4 Sherman tank, thens theres a tall funnel with a magnifying glass taped to it.
And, I had all of this in my house.

Backstory: My girlfriend made a load of these Mario blocks for Christmas once. Here I am using one as a makeshift helmet.

I'm always down for a worldwide competition!



and here we go, this is myself with my bike helmet on with a random dog on my head. I'm also holding up my custom homemade dtoid sign which I used at the play.com live event in London a while back. Looking at that pic it seems that there is a penis coming out of my temple...

Okay, so here's the best I could come up with with what I had around the house. I strapped a foot stool I made in Jr High to my face with a belt, put on a fedora and stuck a U.S. flag with a koala hanging from it in there for good measure, then equipped with my SotD cricket bat I struck my best Jason Voorhees pose...

So I'm guessing that "midnight Sunday" doesn't mean midnight sunday, but more like 11:59pm Sunday/midnight monday?

I call this, "respect for the classics."

Alright, and just for the lolz, here's my amazing balancing act as the RPG Minion of Doooooooom! :P



Including:
Chrono Trigger
Final Fantasy III
Lunar Silver Star Story Complete
Lunar 2 Eternal Blue Complete

<3<3 This was the toughest balancing act I've ever tried to do since I didn't dare put tape on any of my blessed games. XD May not be a winner but I thought it was amusing as hell nevertheless.
