I have a code for the PSN version of Trine to give away (it’s a $20 game, and fun, for those that don’t know.) We were going to give it away on The Blu Show but, well, we had to make a choice between cussing at each other and talking about giving away a game. The existence of this very article should tell you how that recording went.
I’m sitting here trying to think of the best way to determine who deserves the game the most and I think I’ve decided it should be open to YOU GUYS to convince me. Clearly, no hateful, hurtful, or harmful stuff is allowed and will result in instant disqualification, but other than that… impress me with your reasoning, your skill, your humor, bribe me with your frequent flier miles… okay, I’ve just been told that last one isn’t actually acceptable.
Post your “reason” (or whatever it is that you think will warrant you winning the game) in a comment below this post. I’ll announce the winner (or least loser) tomorrow (Wednesday for those reading this late.)
[UPDATE: This is a US download code.]

Is this available to people in the eu?
Because I’m top poster on the forum, and this will be a small token of retribution for you never making me a mod
because i have axe and ill eat your brains with a spoon and punch you with my feet so give me my game
I have recently been traumatized by the CBC. It was an innocent day, or at least as innocent as my days could be at any given time. I walked by my man cave to spy the most horrendous thing. My brother was watching Curling on the CBC. I stood there transfixed. Frozen in place as if I was right there on the ice. The monotone announcer came at me from all sides. I couldn’t move. My body stiff, my eyes fixated, still there was a voice screaming from within. “HISTORY CHANNEL. SOMETHING WITH GUNS, EXPLOSIONS, ANYTHING!!!) I managed to jerk my body away in one violent motion. Life hasn’t been the same since.
The image of the stones and the ice won’t leave me. They are seemingly forever sliding through my brain while the announcer is playing on loop. I need help. I tried to get medical help, but they just said, “What’s wrong with Curling?”. There is no-one that can help me here. I need a distraction something more that I can focus on. Eventually flushing the images of Curling out of my head. Throw Trine my way and help a poor tortured soul out.
My brother has been banned from my mancave.
Well for one…. my 360 red ring bashing did not win the haiku contest.
For two…. I am a old man and have a gray beard.
For three… I like runny oatmeal as well.
And finally, my wife said No Fu*king games till Christmas.
The curse of being a staff member now is that I don’t get any of this cool stuff -_-’
I deserve it because I already paid for it.
I don’t have any games currently and I need something to play other then the crack in time demo.
No that I’m putting down your beloved ratchet and clank its just that 30 times through both of the demos might be enough.
Not*
I shall write a limerick in the Frawlzian style, and it shall cause you great joy, and thus I shall be deserving of the game.
I’d love to play Trine about now
This might just be my ticket how
So I cannot diminish
This poem’s epic finish:
MY SUBMISSION’S THE BEST, OOAUOO.
(for best results, the final line is read in the AHNOLD voice)
ok, you know what, im going to flat to tell you why I deserve the game: I deserve a chance and reputation somewhere. No one fucking loved me when I was a kid, they used to confuse me for a Dog for like 3 good years and when I was in high school, they had “punch-a-Ramses” day where everyone punched me in the gut. Even in college, some professors held me back because they confused me for a dog. Not to mention the fact that my parents died in a car crash and shot on the spot. Look, all im saying is that maybe a little recognition and a good thing to happen to me.
and that im a chronic liar.
and that im a cheep bastard that won’t pay 20 dollars for a game.
and im a trophy whore that wants it to have a bigger Trophy count.
thats about it really. Can’t blame a guy for being honest.
Why I should win? Maybe it’s because of my less than obvious wit and charm. Maybe it’s my more obvious ability to cook eggs without burning them. Most probaably, it’s my ability to not have any money, seeing as nobody will hire a teenager not yet out of high school.
If I had two pennies to rub together…well I do, funnily enough…and it doesn’t sound nice. You know what sounds much better is two crisp $10 bills rubbing together, eager to let me spend them on a PSN card for my gaming pleasures. OK…so I might give in to a $5 for 5 deal on boxes of Gobstoppers if given the option…but come on! Who wouldn’t? It’s freaking GOBSTOPPERS! I mean they’re so delicious. You can’t eat just one unless you’re being a dick and only eat one to prove you can…which is quite mean and not at all helpful to my point. I mean all the dazzling rainbow colors and flavors is like sex in your mouth, something I’ve heard Frawlz describe in gory detail…so I won’t go there.
I was supposed to be talking about something, wasn’t I? Ah yes. Trine. I believe I would be the best candidate because of my less than obvious wit and…wait…I already said that, didn’t I? Well…did I mention eggs? Yeah? Damn…
…maybe it’s because I’m such a nice person and make stuff for people (http://forums.sarcasticgamer.com/showthread.php?t=22978)…or maybe my uncanny ability to self promote no matter the situation. I could be a nice guy, but I wouldn’t know. I’ve never met me before and, therefore, can not form a good opinion on myself. It’s up to you to decide, Elton. It’s up to you.
Why I deserve it is that my 8 year old son and avid gamer is really wanting something new to play. Due to his mother (we have been married 20 years) being out of work. We have cut way way back and will not be getting anything new before Xmas. I deserve this game because my son deserves it. He dressed as Mario for Halloween and even though he is game crazy, he gets good grades and does homework first.
Who do I deserve this game? Well, I DON’T! Then again, who does? O_o
I deserve it because I want it! Or maybe it’s because I’ve managed to live through every episode of the Blu show.
I deserve it because i was a big fan of lost viking !
I deserve it because I actually listen to the Blu show.
As do I. Your point?
My 360 red ringed, my PC short circuited, and my PS3 has about half an inch of dust on it (no joke). I am also disappointed that I did not win the haiku contest.
Hey Rothbart i just wanted to throw in my 2 cents on why i deserve the code. I only got my ps3 a few months ago and i have not been able to buy my downloadable games from the psn store because while i have a part time job, i also have to go to college to by books and i drive a truck so gas is more expensive for me. So basically i’m a broke college student that could use a new game to play in between studying for my calculus tests. I also really love the blue show and listen to it every week (a wee bit of bribery). Anyways i would really appreciate the game but if you dont give it to me it wont be the end of the world, ill just be a little more bored
I gave you a 5 star review on I tunes that ok. If not ill call in and leave a message telling fralws to eat a d!#k for your next show. see that’s not mean it’s just right.
I deserve the game because I am filled with just plain awesomeness. Imagine how much publicity you guys would get by giving Trine to me. All the news papers and news programs around the world would write up a story about how sarcastic gamer gave the coolest and most spectacular guy in the world a free game just for him being him. You guys would get so many visitors to your website that you would make millions from your advertisers. So really you giving me the game download code is actually a favor for you guys, so, your welcome!
because the punctuation in the title is wrong, it should be a period (.) not a question mark (?)
Because I’m a poor starving student, who has to eat a lot of ramen to afford to buy all the other games that are coming out in the next few months. Plus Im sexy as hell
I deserve this game. I have been listening to the blue show since the first episode. I have enjoyed each one, some I no I shouldn’t have. The blue show is the only SG show my wife listens to with me, even quotes “That what I(she) said.”
After all of this fluff and in the end I have been listening to your show with a PS3 or PSP. Those days is about to end. I am getting a PS3
.
Wouldn’t it be nice if you gave me my first game? Wouldn’t make you feel good to show a fan some love? I think you know it would. So give the Bluecollargamer a hand up by giving him a hand out.
If not, I am still a fan, cursing or not.
I deserve it because I do a dance that goes ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? B A that gives me 30 extra Lives.
I meant Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, B, A, Start thats my dance Sometimes I just forget that it is that awesome
I already have the game, and therefore deserve it more then anyone. You do not need to know the logic behind this.
Why should I deserve this game?
Cuz there’s a nice 20 dollars in it for you
I would like this game because I have been waiting for it come to the PS3 ever since the demo hit Steam in July. I have been following the long ballad that Frozenbyte has gone through to get this game out on PSN. And because I had sent you a PM a couple months back and you never responded…
It’s because i always wanted to be an Oscar Mayer Weiner and it never happened. Life has let me down so much that my only recourse would be to have a fun game to keep my mind occupied at my unacceptable mere mortal fate.
I dont know who this man is, but indeed he looks like a graceful and elegant man and one who is oh so deserving of a a fine video game.
Having just got my PS3, I really don’t have much for it at the moment. (Demon’s Souls, inFamous and now Dragon Age: Origins) but the small volume of my library isn’t the reason.
It’s the last title on that list. Dragon Age is frankly, bad. Thankfully it only cost me $20 and two old Xbox 360 games (Civ Rev and Modern Warfare 1). The problem is, that $20 is the money I was going to use for Trine.
“Why not just use more of this magical thing you call money to buy Trine too?” my opponents will argue, because they hate America, Apple Pie and pretty girls named Betty Sue.
Ignore them. They are jealous of my stupidity and bad decision making in where I spend my money. They are fools, you and I know the truth. The truth that the name of Bioware has been sullied and that the only cure, is Trine.
For Trine isn’t just a spell that Materia Keeper from FFVII uses to wipe the floor with your party anymore, oh no, it is quite possibly the second coming of the messiah. Or it’s just a PSN game that’ll be fun and I’ve been rather looking forward to for about two months now, only to try and download it when I got my PS3 to find out that it hadn’t been released yet.
The chroniclers of our age will decided what the answer ultimately is.
P.S.
I am not above driving up a giant yatch to your house and making you watch as I club baby seals with a Rock Band: Beatles peripheral guitar. Something to keep in mind. You can still hear them, can’t you Clarice? The screaming of the seals…
Because it is most likely that I payed for your steak at Doc’s birthday.
Just saying.
This game can suck a cock-a-doodle-doo, just like what Frawlz does
But in all honesty, who doesn’t want a free game? I know I do.
Just give me the game… Some had good reasons, some had great reasons… but I’m the only GIRL in this site!!! so that should count for something :p
becasue if i don’t then the world will implode so says TIMEWARP destroyer of worlds!
Or becasue i like free stuff…..the nasty sony didn’t give me a free god of war 3 demo so now i’m upset again which is that hard to do actually.
I deserve it, and I’ll tell you why in two words…
Really. Tiny. Penis.
I deserve the game because I like the Blue Show, and I even like Frawls :p (I don’t see frawls love anywhere)
1. I never win anything, ever. Never got into a beta/free game/add on through a competition.
2.Tekken 6 I just found out won’t get delivered until after the LONG weekend. I just finished all my exams for this month, the next ones are pretty soon and this was my only chance to really game with no interruption.
3.It’ll put me in a great mood. C’mon make me smile
because im 19 and still cant force hair outta chin like u =D
Haha darkwonders, you still have gits, be happy
I am currently unemployed. There for, my gaming fund is zilch. A FREE game from SG would make the rest of my year & help a down on his luck gamer fell better.
I’m a student, I have no gaming consoles besides my first gen ds and I live in the uk. Therefore I deserve this game. Even though I can’t use it. And neither can my ps3 owning friend. Go me!
Nah, life’s great
and i’m said PS3 owning friend, look at how he betrays he’s own friend for he’s own selfess needs. Pick me not the traitor.
I found Sarcastic Gamer through ‘How To Kill A Brand’ and, despite being a PS3 fanboy, I instantly loved it… So I listened to SG Red #52.
I enjoyed it so much that I downloaded every episode of the Red Show and Blu Show up to that point. I listened to all of them non-stop for two weeks, which meant spending two weeks of my holidays not playing games or going out.
The reason I couldn’t do these things is because I don’t have a PC or an iPod. I had to download every episode through mt PS3 browser and then sit there and listen to them on the PS3.
It was two weeks well spent though because of this guy I knew. We had barely ever talked but he had taken it upon himself to replace the word ‘goodbye’ with ‘frawlzinurmouth’ until he found someone who has also heard of yor podcast. I overheard him one day and we instantly became friends. He quickly became my best known gaming friend.
But sadly he has now moved away and the only way we remain in cotact is via psn. Of course he has my password so he downloads every game I get and vice-versa. Please give us the game and help save our friendship over a long distance.
All the above story is true and I had to type it twice.
I deserve this because I just signed the title (like 5 minutes ago) over to my Dodge Durango that the soon to be ex wife now gets as well as a 5 figure check for her “half”. THAT is why I should get this game!
I deserve this game for free because I have a computer and know how to run a bittorrent client.
I will tell you why with a poem
I deserve the game called Trine
Because I am awesome and so divine
If you give the game I will declare
To all that will listen anywhere
That the Blu show is a wonderful show
That there are no limits to how far they will go
That Frawlz is ok and PacMan is cools
But it’s really rothbart that really rules
But if you don’t give me the game and made me waste my poem
I will tell you GO SUCK A “BEEEEEEEEEEEP”
Sincerely, wildbanshe
And the winner is…. samaroo.
Frawlz felt a special connection to samaroo’s entry and I’m not going stand between a man’s really tiny penis and… well, anything!
Enjoy Trine samaroo!
wha?! If so i have an extremely tiny penis! In fact i needed an operation it was so small so there! Now i win, i think i’ll be taking my code now…….DAMN IT STILL LOSE!
Yay!!! I never win anything!!!
Although…with my reason for winning, am I really a winner?…
Yep, free game = winner!!!
Thanks Frawlz, for your support. Thanks Rothbart, for your making me win. Thanks everybody else, for not winning.
