Swag is awesome, especially when it's free. Honestly, though, not all swag is cool, but the t-shirts and posters from the recent 2K title Civilization Revolution are actually swag I would be caught dead wearing outside of E3. I think you'll agree with me when you see it, which may make you excited about our latest contest kindly sponsored by 2K -- we're giving away ten t-shirt/poster sets, and the top winner gets an exclusive poster signed by Sid Meier! (see gallery below)
All you have to do to get a shot at winning one of these swag packs is post a picture or a video of yourself in the comments that somehow represents the word revolution (if you do a video, just pop a link in your comment and a quick description of your video). Whether that means you burning a bra, picketing the lawn of a much-hated corporate headquarters or streaking at the Oscars, it's up to you. It has to really be you in the pic/video though -- no Photoshops, please!
The contest will run through August 1st and is open to all US, Canadian and UK residents, and as usual, please avoid NSFW images in your entries. All we ask is that you specify what shirt size you wear in your post after you throw in your picture or video link, as we have limited amounts. We do have a few girly tees, so don't be afraid to enter if you are female -- I was sporting one in the video above, as you can see. Good luck, Dtoid readers!
US Only?
Revolution: Ron Paul playing Wii.
@Justice
There are other countries besides the U.S. tht matter?
Finally something for the UK about damn time
Fuck the contest, I want to make love to you and your hair Colette.
@tazar: I want to make love to you and your hair.
@Heretic?
You must have swapped ur "S" key with your "K" key
;)
US, CANADA AND UK? FUCK OFF DTOID. HOW ABOUT EUROPE CONTEST?..RACISTS!
@Alex
RAAAAAAAGGGEEEEEE
@Alex - We want to include more of our readers overseas but dealing with the customs/etc and wide range of shipping issues and costs have been troublesome. Europe-wide contests are something to work towards; I hate to leave anybody out but its hard to include everyone due to shipping costs. Thats why so many US-based companies only do US contests.
Erm Alex, isn't that a bit OTT, you should be grateful that there's even a contest that includes Europe!
Can the rule be opened to: US, Canadian, UK residents and Teta that lives in South America?
Why don't all the EU people make a deal with some trust worthy US DTOID's and get them to send it over to you where ever you live. Your going to have to pay for the shipping but i am sure it won't be anymore then say $15.
Plan, yes.
Also, now that I read Niero`s post i think i am pushing a little bit much, I am sorry.
No one else noticed side boob?
Oh right, contest, free stuff, etc.

@Lewis Bell
Did you actually read the rules?
@justice D: I have no camera so I thought fuck it and am hoping on the care and generosity of the judges
A contest us Britons can enter? I think I might faint... guess I better represent and enter first though...
This is a picture of myself on the circle line of the London Underground when there was a massive protest/party/rave against the alcohol ban on public transport which was introduced on the 1st June....

Description: Are you ready for a Revolution?
tshirt size: medium
Is that la vie en rose being sung at the end? In that case: Awesome!
Niero, I think you made a typo- its US, not UK.
@suigeneris:
lol touche!
oh I forgot to say in my entry T-shirt size: small please :-)
Ahaaaa Mhmmmhmmhmmmhmmmmmmmm.
REVOLUTION!
Also, I'm in Ireland, but seeing as thow the shipping costs are identical and most americans think we're part of the UK anyway... ;)
Why is it that the lucky winner always wins? Why cant the lucky winner fucking lose for once!!!
Colette, your hair is adorable/hot/compliment-of-your-choice! I hope that's new, because I don't recall seeing it like that before.
Also, I watched the video twice, for Nieromid Head. Also, I kind of want to enter, for once.
No one has posted some sort of AsiaCopter rip yet? Lame.
Anus, that is so radical!
@Superhobo
You stole my idea!
Company standards my ass......
Viva La revolucion!
and its not photo shopped. A certain someone I know on the site took that picture.
Here is what I find funny. The game is called Civ Revolution, yet it skipped the Nintendo Wii, which was once known as the Nintendo Revolution... hmm... conspiracy?? You tell me.

This was me during my major's bar crawl. I showed them who's boss by sneaking shots and a long island ice tea or two.

"picture or a video of yourself..." I fail.
The reminder post asked for gender, and while, hopefully you could tell from the video, that medium t-shirt request was for a men's medium.
Vive la destructoid.
If you can't tell, that's an image of me wearing a cardboard Rafiki mask I created as my college a cappella group re-enacted the opening scene from The Lion King for one of our shows. It was the beginning of a new age for all the Pridelands.
Here's my entry.
It's an ode to the revolution that is Destructoid itself.
Lyrics are as follows:
[i]Destructoid revolution, they have done it all
Destructoid revolution, the proud robot stands tall,
No other gaming blog with such a community, that has grown so fast,
Did you catch them at E3, maybe see ‘em at PAX.
When you believe in a robot, whose language you don’t understand,
You join the brotherhood,
Destructoid is the way.
Destructoid revolution, wolves dead in the sand,
Started by 2 guys, now thousands have joined the clan,
The editors are amazing, and of course also cocks,
The contests get us raving, hence the point of this song.
When you believe in a robot, whose language you don’t understand,
You join the brotherhood,
Destructoid is the way.
Destructoid revolution, always in your heart,
One editor loves dolphins; another is a shark,
I hope that I have helped you, helped you to see,
And if you still don’t get it, STFUAJPG.
When you believe in a robot, whose language you don’t understand,
You join the brotherhood,
Destructoid is the way.[/i]
Excuse the crappy webcam video and audio recording.
:D
Oh crap and if I win a t-shirt I'll take a L or XL (XL preferred since I <3 big shirts!).
