AICN Games and Picturehouse want to give you a Wii... autographed by Steve Wiebe!!!

Greetings humans, Monki here with the absolute coolest give away I've ever been involved with here on Ain't It Cool all courtesy of Picturehouse and the awesome film "The King of Kong."

Today I'm proud to announce that AICN Games will be giving away a Nintendo Wii to one lucky winner. That's right... the Wii. You STILL can't find this bastard in stores anywhere. This console has surpassed the XBox 360 as the #1 worldwide seller, even with a year handicap. How freakin' amazing is that? Not only that, but the console (and box) have been signed by hero of the year, Mr. Steve Wiebe! That's right, an autographed Wii by a famous person! A really really nice famous person at that!

So, you may ask yourself, what do I have to do to get my hands on my own Wii? What would I do with my Wii if I had plenty of time to play with it? Could others play with my Wii and not ruin it for myself? In group situations, is it okay to pull out my Wii to impress everyone?

I can't answer all of those, but I can answer the first. To get your hands on your own shiny Nintendo Wii, you must submit a video to:

aicn.monki@gmail.com

In the spirit of "The King of Kong" this video must be of your greatest personal achievement in video gaming history, and no longer than 2 minutes. You can either mail me the video or send me a YouTube link of your video, but it must say "AICN Games Wii Submission" in the subject line of your email and if you choose to place your video on YouTube, "AICN Games Wii Submission" must appear in the description of the video.

Please keep your mailed entries under 10 megs if at all possible. (Try the H.264 codec in Quicktime...so so good...)

I've left it pretty open for interpretation...your best achievement in gaming history...did you beat all of Street Fighter 2 without getting hit? Successfully beat Legend of Zelda in one sitting? Teach your three year old how to play Guitar Hero?

I want to see all kinds of entries on this one. Live action, animation, machinima, experimental...you name it. You've got two minutes to impress me enough to send a Nintendo Wii your way.

You've got until Friday, September 28th at 9pm CST (Cool Standard Time) to submit your entry to my email. Also, the winner is declared on my sole discretion, so if you want to bitch at someone (imagine that), you'd be looking for me. Oh, and the winner has to be an American...sorry everyone across the pond. Of course, if you want to send in an entry just to try to get some of your work in an upcoming post, feel free to, but you aren't eligible for the Wii. If you have any questions, send them my way, and I'll get you an answer.

So get to it you video monkeys! I want to see some badass work from all of you! Best of luck and until next time, back up the tree I go!

-Monki
