Giveaway: Nexuiz and Skyrim

Inspired by those who continue to give back to the community (theonedub and manofthem), we've got two prizes up for grabs. First, we have Skyrim. And then, for something completely different, we've got Nexuiz (the 2012 Cryengine 3 variant).




Images pulled from other websites, credit goes to those sites.


How to enter:
It's the hottest summer on record, and it's time to cool off. In the US (I cannot vouch for elsewhere) there's a commercial that asks a fundamental question. In that vein, reply to this thread answering the question "What would you do for a Klondike bar?"

Contest Duration:
Contest opens whenever this post is made. Contest runs until Saturday August 18th 2012, at 12:00 noon EST.


How the winners are chosen:
1) There will be two winners chosen.
2) One winner will be randomly selected from the pool of entrants.
3) Another winner will be selected from the entry that I judge the funniest answer to the above question.



The Rules:
1) You must be 18 or older, depending upon local laws. Skyrim is rated mature for a reason.
2) You must have a Steam account. You'll need to friend me on steam so I can send you the prize.
3) You must not already own the game.
4) Only one entry is valid. Subsequent postings do not improve your chances of winning (though you may make as many subsequent postings as you'd like).
5) The funniest response gets to choose which prize they would like first. The randomly chosen winner can either accept the remaining prize, or tell me who they would like the prize to go to.
6) 48 hours from the announcement of the initial winners, new winners will be chosen for any remaining prizes. If the winners do not claim their prizes in this 48 hour period the process will continue until all prizes are distributed.
7) Must be a member with join date of May 2012 or older.

The very fine print:
This giveaway is not associated with any commercial entities. Unilever, or any subsidiaries does not have any knowledge of, or endorse this giveaway. Valve corporation, Bethesda, THQ, and techPowerUp are not involved with nor officially endorse this giveaway.




Edit:
Added membership length qualifier. Sorry, but creating new accounts for multiple entries is something I'd like to discourage.

Then I'd ask politely, and if there was just a single one left you could have it :3

Hmmmm.... let's see.... what would I do for a Klondike bar....


I would....


Fight off a flock of angry penguins and pelicans with nothing more than the arrant ego of TheMailMan87.

Get myself to Mars

Encase myself in a cryogenic sub-zero body suit to avenge my suspended animated wife who has stricken with a fatal degenerative disease.

Make YouTube videos where I combine massive amounts of meat and liquor and then ravishly eat all of it.

Campaign across America promoting a conservative view on politics while looking like a horse.

Ride a horse named Sarah.

Turn myself into water and have Ryan Phelps swim through me, not to mention Missy Franklin.

Turn myself into sand and have the entire Olympic Woman's Beach Volleyball team do all sorts of stuff to me.

Turn myself into poison that would painfully kill any person and find a way to get into the veins of these sick shooters who kill innocent people.

Find a way to turn myself into things.

Apply for an internship within TechPowerUp and just change out graphics cards for W1zzard's reviews.

Thank you for joining in on paying it forward and back to the TPU! community. Its absolutely incredible how 'infectious' the giveaway spirit has become here- its like like a zombie outbreak, but in a good way

I'm sitting this one out, but the real question is- What wouldn't I do for a Klondike Bar?

Great guy here. One of the best giveaways I've seen so far. I'm not entering seeing as I already have Skyrim and Nexuiz doesn't look like it will suit my fancy. I will let that special person who wins enjoy many, MANY countless hours of this game.

What would I do for a Klondike bar... I would lay out a tarp, and after a hearty dinner of taco bell, crab cakes, and indian food, I would then proceed to lay pipe on the tarp. At that point I would then proceed to roll around in it like a baby elephant.

That is what I would do...
