June Contest Details

As we are getting back into the swing of things with the new site launch and with E3 approaching, how about we kick off June with some contests that reward you for doing your own thing and ones for those that spend their time bringing us the news we read here on N4G?

TALKIE-TALKIE MONEY-MONEY
For each comment you make in the month of June you will gain one entry into the drawing for three winners at the end of the month. Make 100 comments, 100 entries. Make only one comment, you better have a lot of lucky rabbit feet on hand. At the end of the month, three random winners will be decided based on comment entries and may win:

1st place: A $250 Amazon Gift Card
2nd place: A $100 Amazon Gift Card
3rd place: A $50 Amazon Gift Card

Note: Moderated comments do not count towards entries. Receiving a restriction for comments will make you ineligible for winning.

.

HAD THOUGHT, TYPED IT UP, WON SOMETHING
The top two user blogs in the month of June as voted by the N4G admin team will win an Amazon Gift Card. Thoughts on E3? Thoughts on new consoles? Thoughts on who wore it better, Cloud or Tifa? Write a blog and you could win.

Prize: 2 winners, a $100 Amazon Gift Card each

.

The triumphant return of contests! :D

Wish all those contributing the best.

[cl1983]

Yes the best to all the other users on N4G, but for you beans I'll have to try to sabotage you.

[Unspoken]

This is pretty nifty. Just please don't rig your contests like pcpartpicker.com does in their "contests".

[gangsta_red]

I think the person who's family members are making a trillion dollars from their laptop should definitely win the contest in June.

[Deadpooled]

or the members with a best friends ex wife :D

[iorkara]

WOW! This is great!

[FlameBaitGod]

7 years here and never won anything, but I got a feeling this isn't gonna be the one ;)

[WeAreLegion]

I won once! Been here for 10 years though.

[Sunny_D]

Here he here he!

[Sunny_D]

Since 2007 and still haven't got anything lol.

[BrandanT]

Please! I'm just a 17 year old young man who just loves video games. I wish I had the money to get some new ones, but so many hardships prevent it from happening.

[Fist4achin]

I love a good sob story.

[Sunny_D]

That was so random but hilarious af.

[Fist4achin]

You didn't have to get so offensive about it. Join the club of hardship dude. I'm still playing on last generation's systems with second hand games. Now they're cheap as hell and I'm having a blast with that. Trust me, I wrote the book on thrifty.

[luckytrouble]

The number of useless comments on articles is bound to increase ten fold. At least everybody who feels the need to start and contribute to a flame war over Xbox vs PS4 in every article will get something extra out of it now.

[DragonDDark]

Hhchxtdyguyg

Am I doing this right?

[Christopher]

See condition #8 at the bottom.

Also, this contest has been around for years. We've not had the problem you speak of with it.

[Wrex369]

They were going to happen anyway, I had started to feel like the wars were starting to lessen to some degree. I was wrong. Lol incoming flames

[Deadpooled]

Seems like since the bubble system has gone it's allowed more fanboy trolls and spammers to comment. The previous system had plenty of ways to report people and take their bubbles away, and even had ways to report troll and clickbait sites.

edit - Thanks Christopher

[Christopher]

@Deadpooled: You can still report users and sites just like before. Click the 'down arrow' in the top right of a user's comment to report the comment. Report on submissions same as before (if it's approved, you'll have to click the gear icon near the title and click 'info' to get to report, but this is the same as the old site).

[coolbeans]

From my past experience, you can thank an increase in comments more on it being E3 month than b/c of the comment lottery (which we've done for a long time).

[Officialxandr]

Thanks and good luck to all!

[no_more_heroes]

I really need to try going for these contest more. I want my 3DS back lol!

[Fullmetalevolust]

yay, good luck to all participants. E3 being around the corner we should see an influx of articles, hopefully for the better.
I'll try to participate and leave some productive feedback in the comment section, but I tend to be in spectator mode, even if there's an article that I truly like.

[Exare]

I think I'll be doing a lot more chit chatting this June.

[Null1980]

Count me in! I may start blogging some this month even.

[MasterofMagnetism]

Cool. Too bad I never win though.

[-Mezzo-]

I'm going for it this month, everyone else has won enough contests, it's my turn now.

Entry #1

[Christopher]

Says the guy who used to be #1 contributor each month...

[-Mezzo-]

Digging up past is not good and shall be forgotten. :P

[coolbeans]

Oh boy! This feels equivalent to some old boxer coming out of retirement. :P

[-Mezzo-]

'I'm the king of the world'. Lol

[littlezizu]

Hopefully luck is on my side this time around.

[Wrex369]

Good luck all. Also, MASS EFFECT HYPE

[Christopher]

Lots of good RPGs to come! Mass Effect, Mankind Divided, Cyberpunk 2077, and possibly even more.

[Lethaltare]

Might as well get the ball rolling with this comment then! Good luck all. :)

[PizzaSteve]

TALKIE-TALKIE MONEY-MONEY

I like the sound of that. I don't comment as much like I use to but good luck to every one.

[DarkOcelet]

Good luck everyone, been a while since i been a regular here.

I guess its time to do that again lols

[Relientk77]

Nice to see contests back

[Artemidorus]

This a USA only thing or a worldwide thing?

[coolbeans]

"Competition is open to all N4G users, except for employees of HAVAmedia and immediate relatives."

The only difference between US, UK, etc. comes down to getting the appropriate gift card if you win something.

[Hakoom]

where can i get a rabbit feet? :D

[KentBlake]

Well, those comments won't write themselves.

[cl1983]

Hey don't talk down about my lucky Rabbit feet, they've worked it the past.

[oasdada]

Nice

[Deadpooled]

So on current prices being in the UK if I were to win I would receive a £173 amazon voucher according to the terms and conditions? (or a £69 voucher for second and £34 for third)

[Kenshin_BATT0USAI]

Capitalism at its finest.

[SaveFerris]

Best of luck to everyone.

[Braxmapoutras]

That sounds interesting :-)

[Sunny_D]

Just saw this so I don't mind getting back into this. Always has been one of the highlights of the site. Never won though :(

[PlatinumGX]

An alt winning in 3..2..1

[Elwenil]

Wonderful, a contest based on the number of comments. As if there aren't enough useless comments made already.

[EricWeichhart]

Awesome giveaway!

[3-4-5]

They have done these before ?

[Christopher]

Monthly contests have been done for years, only took a month off because of an issue with the new site. Heck, before I was a mod, I was winning them. The problem is, people ignore user blogs so much, they ignored the contests.

[SavageKuma]

Freaking awesome.

[Sloth-Eater_]

Winning comment right here.

[Gotcha5]

just like the lottery you can enter all you like doesn't mean a damn thing... 1 down 99 more to go.

[Kurisu]

Yep, it's all down to luck! I'm not feeling lucky at the moment, but I'll remain hopeful. It's not often that I win something. Good luck to everyone.

[WizzroSupreme]

Playing the comment game again? I'm in.

[Zorkaz]

Yay! A contest! And one that just requires spewing my stream of thought at the comment section! This isn't very good for my first comment is it? Then again something tells me there'll be a bunch of spammers, so maybe I won't have the least intelligent comments after all!

[Gotcha5]

Can use to cut the price down on a new VR Headset...

[pyroxxx]

Why not,... May the luck shine on my internet buddies.

[-Foxtrot]

One more random comment win and I can finally buy an Xbox One on Amazon

EDIT

I sound like one of those charity adverts ha

"Just one win a month can help a Fox from Africa play on a Xbox One"

[ImportWeed]

Nice That is great
