Bitmob Easter Egg Contest

Sunday, April 04, 2010

Today is Easter, a holiday about hiding eggs filled with yummy stuff that isn't baby chickens. To help celebrate, I've hidden some Easter eggs throughout Bitmob. Find them and you can win a yummy pack of free games from our pile, including one random game for every major console! Second place wins a free T-shirt.

Contest ends Tuesday, April 6!

The details:

 

I've placed three eggs (pictured here, but this isn't one of them) inside three different stories that have appeared on the front page of Bitmob over this past week (dated anywhere from March 28, 2010 to April 4, 2010).

If you find one, click on it -- it will create an email for you to send with the address and subject filled out (if your computer is not set up for that, just hover your mouse over the image for the details).

One grand-prize winner will win three random games from our collection (one each: Xbox 360, PS3, and Wii). The runner-up will receive a game T-shirt from our pile of goodies.

Note: Each egg has a different subject head, so if you find all three, you can send three separate emails, tripling your chances of winning. But don't send the same email/subject head more than once...that's cheating.

Send your entry or entries from the email account that you registered on Bitmob with, and please include your real, full name and physical mailing address. Anything you submit must match our records, including your full (first/last) name and email address. In other words, if you're not using your full name here on Bitmob, you're out.

Thanks to Bitmob Moderator Toby "I Heart Comments" Davis for suggesting we do this!

UPDATE: Congrats Andrew Fricke (grand prize) and Max Sobel (second prize)! A random-number generator declared you two to be our winners. Thank you all for entering.

MMM A camo egg someone must be in the mood for a little hunting. :)

We are golden as long as we have to correct subject heading, right? I use Yahoo Mail, and just copy and pasted the heading for the subject.

I found all three. It was pretty fun even if I don't end up winning! Also, I got to read some pieces that I missed.

Going through all of these really hit home just how much content goes into a week's worth of Bitmob posts, and that's just the front page. Add in the mobfeed content and you triple that number of articles, easily.

Really proud to be a part of the community right now. Such a productive group.

Holy crap, that was tedious. Hope I won!

Jazz and Mike put all my thoughts into words, thanks Toby for the great idea. And if enough people do this, Bitmobs number of hits will go totally Bazonkers, quoting Brad Neely in Dear Reader (best underground movie ever)

I'm with Mike and Jazz too! But it was awesome to check out some of the posts I'd missed!

I'm feeling really bad right now, because every time I look into someone story, they get +1 in their page view. >:|

That's bad?

Well, I suppose it's not fair for the people who posted stuff earlier, like on the 27th, because they don't get "free" hits. But in the end, it's not a huge deal, because hits shouldn't matter as much as they do.

For the lazy people out there, here's me showing the answers: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZOU8GIRUd_g

@Jordan, that rocks!  So that's you in the video, a pointin' and a clickin'?

That would have saved me SO much time.

But then again, my time spent last night was well worth it.  The pure satisfaction I received from reading and rereading cannot compete with your video showing the answers.  Music or not.

Jordan, I'm gonna kill you! For so many different reasons.

I am also one to win things on only the rarest occasions. I checked my email and I thought I was going crazy.

Thank you Bitmob and your Crazy Random-number Generator!
