Win a Mirror's Edge Qosmio notebook, Nvidia GTX-260, and more photo

We'd like to thank our friends at EA and Nvidia for donating some amazing prizes for our Destructoid anniversary week contest!  But here's the catch -- there are less than 100 hours left to enter and win this contest -- it ends at 12 PM EST, March 19. Like Faith, you've gotta be fast. Here's what you gotta do!

Six random prizes: An NVIDIA® GeForce™ GTX graphics card (valued at $250) or Mirror’s Edge for PC

1. Simply post a lovely comment for our contest sponsors.  We'll randomly choose six comments at the end of the week.  You can post as many times as you'd like throughout the week to increase your odds of winning.  Go nuts, but don't spam nonsense in there or your comments will be disqualified.  It must be a legible actual comment.

You're not done!  Now go for the Grand prize: A Mirror’s Edge-themed Toshiba Qosmio Notebook PC valued at $2700

2. After you've posted your comment, print this emblem.  (link fixed!)

3. Run somewhere awesome with it with a camera, strike a pose, then email your photo to qosmio@destructoid.com. Don't shave. Don't shower. Just run! We'd like you to be as obnoxious and ridiculous as possible.  We are looking for the most over-the-top photos to determine the finalists.  We'll choose our five favorites and let the community decide who wins on Friday in a poll to-the-death for this epic computer of awesome.

Check out the official rules of the contest for more info. Good luck!

Oh man, I could really use that GTX-260. It'd be a major step-up from my shitty 9800GT. :(

I get an error when I click on emblem link.

Ok,

I would like to thank EA for being the gaming demon that subliminally rapes me in my dreams because of the different ways you can say its name.

"EA...Its in the game" <<< remember that one!?!?!...do they still use it?

And for Nvidia...Do I just say "Ner-Vidia" or do I have to sound like a spastic and say "Nnn-Vidia"... nevermind

Cheers for the games and graphics cards to play them with. Even though I am a console tard. I would like to jump on board the PC Elitist band wagon.

Cheers.

For god sake...I wrote an epic comment and now it is gone!

It wrote about EA being catchy as fuck and Nvidia being difficult to say out loud.

Eh, who cares. This will do.

Cheers.

Wasn't that "EA..it's in the game" thing just for sports/racing games? I remember it being "EA Sports. It's in the game."

With that graphics card, I'd be able to run games that were made less than 5 years ago! What an improvement that would be!

Link works fine now.

A new notebook would be awesome. My current one is only good for writing papers.

I do have to say that Mirror's Edge is a great looking game. the lighting actually looks good and uses shadows correctly!

Hey nVidia, you really do some amazing things with computers, like make some really top-notch graphics cards, which is what I need in my computer. See, I'm running off of a tiny integrated chip on my motherboard, and that obviously limits me. But hey, it's alright.

I'm proud of you, son.

Well this certainly is el contest de grand! I'm an Nvidi-fan so I'd be a fool not to comment.

On a side note how great was the music in Mirrors Edge/Did it bother anyone else that the trees were all white? What has white leaves?

Otherwise good art direction.

Dear EA, Mirror's Edge was kinda balls, but Dead Space was amazing and far under-appreciated. Thank you for taking risks on new IPs, and I hope the fact that neither of those games sold 12 billion copies doesn't sway you from taking more risks in the future.

Love, Jesus <3

EA is the shiz. Back in the day I played the hell out of NHL Hockey. That's right, it didn't have a year assigned to it, because it was the very first entry. And it was glorious.

Also, yay Nvidia!

SWEEEEET!!! Wait, post comments where? Any destructoid articles? They could have posted a better game on the notebook instead of Mirror's Edge, a Dead Space notebook would have been cooler.

if we have two different crazy ideas for a photo, can we submit both of them (or as many as we'd like), or can we only submit one photo per person?

"Simply post a lovely comment for our contest sponsors."

Hmm... I guess I will try to say something nice.

1. Nvidia is an awesome graphics card company.
2. EA makes good games sometimes.

Can I have a prize now?

Mirror's Edge was sexy, all gaming companies should be shooting for games more like it.
