There once was a man from nantucket.
Who tried to play Trine 2 in a bucket.
He didn't have power.
So instead took a shower.
And hoped he would win it by good luck(et).

ROFL ... stop me before I kill again.

I know why I do not win, not enough posts yet. It is sort of like having to be 16 to get a drivers license, must have 150 posts/thanks or folding/crunching badges. I eat capt crunch for breakfast and I fold my own laundry, does that count? hahaha GL with the contest and maybe one day I will qualify, maybe not who knows

Don't worry, flmatter, there are many game givaway contests on TPU that do not have such requirements, so keep an eye on the Gaming section as they pop up when you least expect it and some are rather stealth in nature. MWAHAHAHA

All official TPU contests (which this is not one) allow all members to participate, but when someone wants to give away something on their own they are allowed to set the entry requirements as they see fit. Official TPU contests will always be in the Contest subforum.

Not really interested in this type of game, so I am not really entering this contest. I just wanted to take this opportunity to give a huge thanks to Theonedub for all that he does and gives to this great community!!!

Thanks a million my friend.

I love cake, i love contests, OH MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!

Here is my entry: The storage capacity of human brain exceeds 4 Terrabytes!
Also adding this just because i thought this was hilarious - Mailing an entire building has been illegal in the U.S. since 1916 when a man mailed a 40,000 ton brick house across Utah to avoid high freight rates.

i suggest reading the first few posts of this thread for letters in bold font.they're a subliminal message for who should win.

(i own this, but i'd like to gift it to my GF for coop)

and no one better edit out my edits, or i'll be sad.

My entry

I once played a game called Trine
As the night out seemed so serene
But the neighbor was sour;
"You should take a shower!
Even your cat smells like brine"

I seated myself on the chair
Felt kinda like Tony Blair
My girlfriend was ringing
But my mind was singing
As I watched Zoyas beautiful hair

Out with the old and In with the new,
move over homies it's my Trine 2!!

So pack it up, pack it in and let LOM win,
And realise now all your chances are slim!!

Cos I'm the no1 entry, that's been posted so far
You wouldn't find as much in Pam Anderson's BRA!!

Onedub do yourself a favour and PM me now,
stop my gf always playing boring old WOW

A change of pace to me, would be simply divine.
I only need the steam key for the second Trine.

Good job, LOM !
It's the first time I've ever seen Pam Anderson worked into a tech site game contest poem.

The first Trine was great. i always said though that their should be multiplayer. i ended up seeing the Trine 2 on sale a few weeks back but of course my ass was broke at that time and i could not afford it. Kurgan has it and i would love to get it as well and see how it plays out. i heard its twice as good as the first i hope i get a chance to play it :P

Poems were not stated in the rules, they're just easy to do as "something different".

Hurry up all,
The treads about to close.
Good luck, mates
Even if you didn't write prose.

See what I mean. rofl

Thanks for another showing of generosity, these contests are one of the things that separates TPU from other not so great sites I have the first Trine, and have always wanted to give the second one a shot.

Thanks again for the giveaway, Dub !! Count me in.
Seems like Random.ORG has been favoring the earlier posts lately. Congrats, you are the winner

I will PM you with redemption instructions. Please lock the thread when you get a chance.
