My Halo Reach Photo Contest Submissions--yikes!

Last week Microsoft graciously offered me some Halo Reach Multiplayer codes to participate in the beta. I highly considered offering them to friends and family (as the Microsoft's Program title intended) but I decided to give them out to a certain group of people who I knew would appreciate them more--my followers on Twitter. Most of the codes were given out via general video game trivia, however three of those codes were given away through a photo contest.

The requirements were simple enough--be goofy, make me laugh and have "I.Eat.Games." visibly written on a piece of paper to prove authenticity. I gave the gang 4 hours so there was enough time for the creative types.

The results were unexpectedly spectacular and incredibly hilarious. When submissions rolled in I had no idea that so many people would literally put to use my blogs name.

Here is one of the winners:

There are roughly 20 more photos on my blog. Some of pretty crazy. 🙂

For a code for HALO?


Faith in human (gaming division) race dwindling..

Yea it was a pretty strange experience. Most of the people were great but there was that 10% that were just off-the-wall strange. They were offering me money, nude pics of their girlfriend and other strange things. Towards the end the whining and begging got pretty bad. One guy threatened suicide because he had been up for 2 days straight trying to get a code. Another offered pictures of his gentalia. I ended up blocking about 5 people in the end because they were either threatening me directly or just being incredibily annoying.

Also someone tried to access me email account too via password reset.
