The deadline has passed, and a winner has been chosen! I numbered everyone who posted in the discussion on the Facebook page and using the magic that is Random.org, let fate decide the winner.

Well, fate chose, and Steven Sanders, a winner is you! I’ll be contacting you through Facebook to discuss your prize.

Thanks to everyone for entering! Make sure you stick around, because I’m going to do more contests like this in the future!

Sonic the Hedgehog, one of my favorite game characters of all time, turned 20 a few days ago on June 23rd. I thought it would be a good time for another contest!

Similar to my last Mario Memories contest, all you need to do to enter is share your favorite memory relating to Sonic the Hedgehog. It can be from playing the games, watching the old cartoons, reading the Archie comic series, whatever.

This time, though, the contest is going to be held on Facebook. All you need to do is “Like” the PK Bloggin’! Facebook page and click on the “discussions” link, where I’ve already started the topic. All you need to do is post!

Unlike the Mario contest, though, where prizes were limited to one platform, the winner will get their choice of a 2000 Wii Points card, a 1600 Microsoft Points card, or a $20 PSN card (all a $20 value, obviously) to spend on all the downloadable Sonic stuff they want!

(As far as I know, US cards will ONLY work in the United States. Since I can’t verify that they work elsewhere, please don’t enter if you live outside the US because I don’t want to waste $20!)

The contest will run until midnight (US Eastern time) on Friday, July 8. Good luck!

We have a winnah!

In celebration of the infinite radness that is Super Mario Galaxy 2, I’m running another contest! If you want to win a WiiWare or Virtual Console game of your choice, all you need to do is post a comment below telling me what your favorite Super Mario Memory is. Is it the first time you played Super Mario Bros? Getting to the roof of Peach’s castle in Super Mario 64?

I took this picture walking home from work today, because it reminded me of something from a video game. I thought we’d have a little contest! First person to post in the comments what game it reminded me of will win a Virtual Console game of their choice. For a hint, mouse over the image.

Good luck!

EDIT: Megafan wins in record time! The answer was Paperboy for the NES. The houses that didn’t have newspaper subscriptions looked a lot like the house I walk by every day.

Megafan, email me letting me know what Virtual Console game you’d like gifted to you, along with your Wii number. I’ll get it to you on Friday!

EDIT 1: The female hoodie has been claimed! Congratulations to VaporOfNuance!

EDIT 2: The male hoodie is now claimed! Congratulations to Syphon2399!

The contest is over! Congratulations to the winners!

It’s our first contest! I’ll make this short and sweet. We have two extra codes (one male and one female) for the special PAX East 2010 Xbox Avatar hoodies given away by Major Nelson at PAX East 2010. So, this contest is Xbox themed!

As you all know, Space Giraffe is the worst game ever. During the time I was woefully subjected to it, I earned one Achievement.

My Gamertag is Joe Sunrider. The first two people to email me (first male and first female) and tell me what Achievement I earned in Space Giraffe will win the hoodie code. When you email me, let me know which code you want, as well as the name you want to go by when I post the winners.

The contest will go until both codes are won. Good luck!
