Before anyone starts griping about the formatting of this message, I’m testing out a new version of Postie for the site; I’m writing this post via email.
Anyway, yesterday Midway and GameSpot announced they were going to hold the search for the “Ultimate Mortal Kombat Fanatic”. If you want to take a look at the press release, you can see it here. Anyway, to enter, one needs to submit a short movie describing how they are the ultimate MK fan, and the winner gets to go to GameSpot’s world headquarters in San Francisco and play Mortal Kombat: Armageddon against Ed Boon himself. It should be interesting to see how that goes…
The funny thing is, the two fans I would have expected to win, Jeff Henry/DECEPTION/samus_aran3900 or Bezo, are ineligible. Apparently the contest is only open to entries from within the United States. I also had to send an email to the other MK Online staff members asking them not to enter. The few I would expect to do a good job in the contest actually have already met Ed and played against him, so it wouldn’t really be fair on anyone else.
Still, like I said before, it should be interesting to see who wins. I’m hoping it’s an MK Online member, myself, but then that’s just me. I guess we’ll just wait and see…
