We got a call from Mt. Dew today, they wanted us to submit close up pictures of ourselves to them, so obviously they want some beauty. Thankfully, all of us are pretty good looking, and we made ourselves look like they would want us in a photo shoot...so I've got my fingers crossed...

Nice to know that the contest wasn't REALLY about how much you love Halo and mountain dew, rather it was about how hot you are while you just happen to be playing halo and drinking mountain dew. Forgive me for being disillusioned enough to believe otherwise.

You actually got a call from them? Ugh, I'm quickly losing respect for that company/drink... If I don't get any word on them today, the new Deadline day, I'm going to either write an angry letter, stop lending my support for Dew, or march down to Bungie itself and tell them how incredibly pissed off I am right now.

((Sorry, this was supposed to go up in my last post but I hit the Submit button too early.))

--Cause, as I said in my "introductory post," I put a load of hard work into my project. Granted, the end result was no where near I wanted, thanks to them never getting back to me about whether or not underage people were allowed if they had parental permission, but I sacraficed my whole day and my own money just to try and get it in intime. I got the numerous misquito bite marks all over my whole body from sitting out in the front yard for 2 1/2 hours while my dad helped set up my diarama then take multiple pictures to try and find one that would be the best to submit.

I even met the requirements exactly; submitting a .jpeg "with dimensions not to exceed 600 x 400 pixels (8.25” x 5.5”) and file size not to exceed 500K"

My diarama itself showed me behind a setup Covenant base with a stockpile of Dew of numerous sizes being guarded by a lone Grunt with a Needler in one hand and a Plasma Pistol in the other, who was being stare down by Sgt. Johnson and a Marine. I myself was holding a sheet of paper saying 'How to speak Covenant'. I'd put captions over the Mountain Dew and under the UNSC troops and the Grunt. The Grunt's captian said "Guard Dog." the Mountain Dew caption boasted "Drink of the Gods" and under the marines it stated "Dudes who're gonna get pwned :P"

Cheezy, I know.. but it was the best I could do at the last minute.. ehh.. yeah.. sorry for rambling. Is it obvious this contest meant alot to me? >_<;

Come on guys, be realistic. The contest was to win: the opportunity to be present at a one-day promotional photo shoot on July 24, 2004 in Redmond, Washington at the Xbox facility in connection with the promotion of Halo 2 by Microsoft and Pepsi. *emphasis added
It's most likely a photo shoot for ads they are going to use to promote their products. They at least have to be sure that we're not going to scare small children if they put our faces out there. .... Or maybe they want to scare the children?? Either way, they've got to know what your "crew" looks like to some degree. Welcome to reality.

I have noticed a few posts that mention the fact that if someone wins, they wil be just some good looking group that decides they wanna enter. Well, if we win, and I think our chances are good as of the moment, our group is very deserving. Me, weephun, Mad Cow, and BIGwooly are all extremely hardcore halo fans. BIGwooly has been here since the beginning, and he's done so much for this community and he deserves a chance to play. Mad Cow is the greatest halo player I have ever encountered in my halo history and that says a lot. I drink an amazingly large amount of dew too, so you can say I'm a big Mountain Dew fan...just thought I'd mention that we aren't some good looking group that decided to hold up a halo box and chug a dew.

I think some people need to remember this is just a contest. My friends and I entered and came up with a really creative idea. Do we have a chance to win ? Yes, I think we do. Am I going to get all upset if we don't ? NO. This is a nice opportunity for someone to win a nice prize and that's it. Remember, they don't even have to have a contest. If they really wanted to they could go out and hire a bunch of models and do it that way. Lets all show a little maturity and stop complaining about something totally out of your control.

lol@Wodcam

Hey EvilJester, I just noticed that you actually look like your avatar. So I guess that means your avatar is hot. Oh, and thanks for the compliment actually regarding how dedicated to the Bungie cause I am. EvilJester is right, we're a hardcore group, and if we win, we totally deserve it. On that note, tychosix is as old school as I am, since before the days of Marathon, so all you n00bs who only discoverd Bungie when Halo came out on the Xbox, you don't deserve to win. Just kidding. Well, maybe not. I don't know.

Oh sure guys,
BIGWooly and tychosix are the old schoolers ...
MadCow (wocdam) is the great halo slayer ...
EvilJester is the mad Dew fan ...
Where's the love for weephun, the provider of the massive, portable, BIG screen (yep, that's a 120" diag HDTV "screen" from my projector for playin' Halo on), the organizer man, the greatest flag stealer this side of Blood Gulch??? Where's the love?!?!

We'll just see who I tell when Mt Dew calls me ... j/k ;)

lol, I hate your stupid projector, it's too big to play on for me. And I never go for flags in CTF, so who cares if you get the flag, it's cause I'm not defending lol...j/k...but you are the newest halo player in our group aren't you? Even though tychosix joined HALOID later than you...I love you Preston.

Man, post our entry for all to see (before the deadline even), knock my skillz, embarrass me in public (what is this, "I love you" crap, if my wife sees this it's going to take some 'splainin'), AND start throwing my real name around too huh? What is this man??? J/K well ... mostly.

Not sure if I've been playing longer than tychosix or vice-versa. Got my Halo and XBOX (in that order) in April 2002, we'll have to ask tychosix when he started.

Since you obviously check this man, why don't you check the email that I sent you. And at least I'm not calling you hot like Mad Cow and Wooly are.

I never called weephun hot, just you EvilJester. Just so that's clarified. I feel so much better now.

Also, is this the new HALOID forum? . . . lol . . . .
