If you follow SEGA on Twitter, then you are likely aware of their weekly Free Stuff Friday giveaways.  I’ve been a fan of SEGA since I was a kid.  I have fond memories of my Genesis and my Dreamcast, and, to be fair, not so fond memories of the Saturn and SegaCD.  My Genesis will always have a special place in my heart, however, so no matter what they do to hurt me, I always return to SEGA in the end.  Today was a good SEGA day, and I won a Free Stuff Friday giveaway.

Ooh, I found a quarter!

Luckily I was watching my TweetDeck when I saw a certain tweet appear.  I immediately DM’d “Nick Fury” to @SEGA and, in less than a minute, received notification that I had won!  What did I win, I hear you ask in your minds with a certain level of apathy?  I won an Iron Man 2 prize pack.  What does that mean, I hear you ask in your minds with a certain level of fear in regard to my uncanny ability to hear your thoughts?  It means I won:

• A copy of Iron Man 2 for the Xbox 360
• A poster of the game’s front cover
• A code to download the Brady strategy guide for Iron Man 2
• A code for the Suitcase Suit to use in-game
• A 1GB USB drive with Iron Man 2 game assets (reusable as a regular USB drive as well)
• A special edition commemorative film cell from the movie
• AND some Iron Man 2 game art signed by SAMUEL L. JACKSON.

Yeah.  That’s awesome.  I’m stoked.

Thanks, SEGA!

Thank you so much for sharing this Blogathon experience with us. Thank you to all of our Sponsors.

To all of you who couldn’t be a sponsor, we can still accept sponsors and donations up until this Friday around midnight so please keep spreading the word about everything we’ve done today and our charity.

Harry Potter and Zelda winners will be announced on Monday, so please be sure to check and see if you were selected.

Also, we should be having some additional giveaways throughout the week to keep the Blogathon momentum going.

Thank you all again, and for those of you who became new readers of this wonderful site… welcome, we hope to see more of you

And ANOTHER fantastic Giveaway.

This will have the same rules as our Harry Potter Giveaway, but obviously the prizes will be different.

How do you enter to win? POST A COMMENT!

For the next 24 hours (8 PM PST 7/25/09 – 8:00 PM 7/26/09) when you comment on this blog, it counts as an entry. Please do not spam the hell out of this post, but do feel free to discuss the DS, it’s other games, and even all of the Zelda games.

Want more entires? DONATE!

We are trying to help raise money for our charity, Reading is Fundamental, so when you donate to our charity that counts as an entry.

Again, the same twist is included like with HP – if you donate $1.00 to our cause, it will count as 10. $2.00 will get you 20 entries, $3.00 will get you 30.. etc.

Ok… now to the prize. This time, there is only one prize to be won so give it your all. You are free to enter in this giveaway along with the HP one so don’t worry, however you can only win one of them… not both.

The winner gets a Nintendo DS Duo Case Pack w/ special Stylus.

They work with both regular DS and DS Lite, so don’t worry

The contest is only available to people who live in the CONTINENTAL United States. Sorry Hawaii and Alaska, it costs too much to ship there. Sorry to all of the other countries too.

The winner will be announced Monday afternoon at 1:00 PM PST so please check back then to see if you won. The winner will need to contact us within 48 hours via email (that is provided on our site) with appropriate mailing information.

Good luck, spread the word, have fun posting, and thank you in advance for helping out our charity!

Today we are feeling charitable. Very charitable. Right now is the start of our first giveaway during the Blogathon.  You guys and gals are competing for some very cool goodies.

How might one win these great freebies?

Post a comment!

For the next 24 hours (6 PM PST 7/25/09 – 6:00 PM 7/26/09) when you comment on this blog, it counts as an entry. You don’t need to spam the post with crazy comments so please keep them on topic. Replying to other commentors is encouraged, so don’t think you can’t start up a nice little Harry Potter conversation. Also, feel free to get creative with your posts.

Here’s the twist. Want more entires? DONATE! Obviously we are blogging like crazy to help raise money for our charity, Reading is Fundamental, so when you donate to our charity that counts as an entry.

And like any crazy infomercial, they always follow up the good stuff with “but WAIT! There’s MORE!” If, for example, you donate $1.00 to our cause… that donation won’t count as 1 entry, it will count as 10. See how we did that? We knocked off the last 0, and counted the rest as entries.$2.00 will get you 20 entries, and $3.00 will get you 30.. so on and so on and so on. Hell, if you want to donate $100.00, that gets you one THOUSAND entries lol

Oh, I should probably add that we are giving prizes to TWO people, not just ONE, so competition is going to be fierce.

And now… I present to you the PRIZES:

First Place wins two items: Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince promo poster and a slap wrist bracelet for the official video game that Electronic Arts put out. Cute thing is that the bracelet are in Gryffindor colors.

Runner Up wins one item: Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince promo poster.

The contest is only available to people who live in the CONTINENTAL United States. Sorry Hawaii and Alaska, it costs too much to ship there. Sorry to all of the other countries too.

Winners will be announced Monday morning at 11:00 AM PST so please check back then to see if you were one of the lucky ones. Winners will need to contact us within 48 hours via email (that is provided on our site) with appropriate mailing information.

So, spread the word, post away, and help out our charity!

GOOD LUCK!

As you already know by now today is the Blogathon. I was so excited over it that I couldn’t sleep!

Chris has been taking on the posts starting at 6:00 AM, and since he is at work, I figured I would step in right now to relieve him. There is a lot going on today for us, as he already mentioned in a previous post, so we will be doing the Blogathon in shifts.

For my shift, I will be mixing things up a bit. We will be having prize giveaways throughout the day but to win them… you will have to post a comment on the blog post. In each prize giveaway blog, there will be more info.

To give you all a little teaser… the prizes will be Harry Potter related, and also Legend of Zelda for DS related. I might think of a few more things we could have contests for, so if I do check the blog!
