The Halloween Trivia Game Key Giveaway - IT'S ON

Post by TSTR »

For the past 3 years or so, this site and its forum have been an amazing resource of information and enjoyment for me. Now that I've finally mustered up the Ballz to become an active participant in this community, I wanted to give something back. So in the spirit of the season:

Image

(Play this in the background for maximum effect.)

Here's how it works:

Starting Tuesday, October 1st, and running throughout the month, I'll ask a question every few days related to the Halloween series of films (pre-Rob Zombie). The first person to post the correct answer wins a free game. It's that simple!

...

Okay, maybe not that simple. What are treats without tricks this time of year, anyhow? Here's the tricks:

1. The questions are multi-part and must be answered in full.
2. The second post in the thread (saved below) will be updated when a new question is asked, and I will bump the thread to let everyone know there's a new game up for grabs.
3. The first post containing the correct response after the bump wins.
4. Once validated, I will PM the winner with their prize.
5. If you win once, you can't win again. Everyone should get a shot!

Don't know the answers? Feel free to Google it, call somebody, use telepathy, whatever! Anything goes. Know the answers, but don't want the game? Let a friend here know so they can win it, or win it anyway and ask me to send it to a fellow RB forum member! This is all in the spirit of fun and community, and I want everyone to have a wonderful Halloween season.

...

Oh right, the games.

I'll be giving away all my Origin keys for games featured in Humble Origin Bundle! Dead Space 1 & 3! Burnout Paradise! Crysis 2! Medal of Honor! Mirror's Edge! Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3! Populous! And maybe even a few bonuses along the way!

So be in front of your computer screens for the big giveaway, and remember—don't forget to wear your masks!

...
