First things first, the winner of last week’s contest for The Club is none other than “Annieoneoutthere” who pulled out an amazing victory by just leaving one comment this week on the Top 10 Worst Sonic Characters post. It’s nice to see some of the older features still getting the occasional comment. Congratulations, Annieoneoutthere (Anyone out there? Get it?)!
Anyway, this week’s contest is quite the doozie. We’ll be joined by Sega’s Aaron Webber to discuss all things Valkyria Chronicles on the podcast this week. Aaron has graciously given us not one but 6 prizes to give away!
The prizes this week are:
1 copy of Valkyria Chronicles for PS3
1 Valkyria Chronicles stress grenade promotional item
4 redeemable PSN codes (1 for each of the DLC packs available for Valkyria Chronicles)
So, this week will work just like last week’s contest except there will be 6 winners drawn, one for each of the prizes. Also, it is possible that you could win more than one prize so the more comments you leave the more chances you have for each of the items available. Good luck!
How to enter:
It’s simple really. At the end of each week (Saturday night), all of the comments left on site will be totaled up. Every comment you leave gives you one chance to be drawn as the winner of that week’s prize. So, the more commenting you do the better chance you have to win, but you do have a small chance of winning even if you only leave one comment that week.
Comments that are not relevant to a post will not count. They also have to have substance. Just saying “Awesome” on every post will get you nowhere, son. As long as you’re praising the author for a job well done, asking a question, adding some information, or even debating against one of the author’s points, your comment will count.
At the end of each week the comments will reset. Even if you left a bunch one week, you’ll have no entries unless you leave more the next week. But just think if you’re a big commenter you could potentially win four games a month! Wowza!
Oh hell yes! I was just looking into buying this.
And congrats Annieoneoutthere welcome to the site
Kudos on the victory, Annieoneoutthere. Let us know how you like the game in the forums!
On to this week – SHIT YES. I have been wanting to play this for some time. Hoo. Ray.
Me too. I’m playing Yakuza now based on Kris’s recommendation and his praise of this has me excited for it.
Kiko from Penny Arcade also mentioned it on his Twitter yesterday. He called it a masterpiece.
Do the DLC packs for Valkyria Chronicles include extra missions or additional characters?
Congratz Annieoneoutthere
Here are some reviews of the DLC packs: http://tech-gaming.com/2009/04/17/valkyria-chronicles-dlc-reviewed.aspx
And one from Anthony Burch in his DToid days: http://www.destructoid.com/destructoid-review-valkyria-chronicles-dlc-129193.phtml
Yeah I remember Burch touting it on podtoid quite a bit.
Thanks for posting the link to the Destructoid review. (I can trust Anthony Burch.)
“Behind Her Blue Flame” seems to be the only one of the first three DLC packs that’s worth playing.
I wanna get this game finished before the sequel comes out on PSP.
That’s the first thing that has made me legitimately wish I actually had a PSP.
I bought mine a few months ago and since then it’s pretty much been a Final Fantasy 7 and Doctor Who machine
OKAY. I NEED TO WIN THIS.
I missed the DLC sale anyway. 🙁 Also, I had no idea you contacted Aaron, I just emailed him the other day! 😀
Kris, I’ll fight you for it. I haven’t played it yet!
I have a feeling that this week is gonna be one wrought with article commentary.
Ooh, I was thinking about picking this up tomorrow… Might as well wait and see if I can win it.
It looks we already have a lot of interest in this week’s contest. Good to see.
game looks pretty cool would love to give this a try 🙂
Also Yahtzee’s review: http://www.escapistmagazine.com/videos/view/zero-punctuation/724-Valkyria-Chronicles
I always love his rants
Seriously though, this game is awesome. If you don’t win, go out and buy it.
I was already planning on getting it this week. I actually went to some stores the other day and was like ‘Why does no one have it!?’ It’s cuz I’m a dork and thought it was a PSP game
Congratulations to Annieoneoutthere.
@Kris Knigge
Already bought it and it was the first SEGA RPG I ever owned. It has the ability to create an emotional bond between the player and the soldiers of Squad 7.
Sweet but too bad I already got the game, well there grenade that I want
I just thinking is it possible for you guys just put all my entries into the grenade since I already have the other prizes
Just give it to me if you win
Gah! I need to get on this!
This has become an obsession. MUST WIN!
A grenade is a great stress reliever. I really enjoyed all the information that Aaron put out about Valkyria Chronicles. Really great stuff.
Aww man, I really want that stress grenade, seeing as how I already own the other stuff 🙂
I already own the game but the suishe nade and dlc sounds very appealing. I haven’t played it yet though, but this would certainly be good motivation!
If i win the game i will graciously give it to someone else, free of charge.
I will also plug the site/podcast on my own podcast RPGrinders on allgames.com on Friday from 6:30-8:00pm EST!
This game could use a trophy patch.
Awesome !! The stress grenade should be usefully when using edelweiss !! Tho the anime for Valkyria Chronicles should have season 2 :p
There’s an anime? Is it good?
It’s got some good ratings on ANN: http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=10416
