Holiday Contest of Doom Winner Announced

style="border: medium none ;">Recently we asked for Shackers to celebrate the holidays in the language we speak truest in: Video games. Did grandma get run over by a reindeer... in Mario Kart? Well we asked and you guys certainly did not disappoint. This being our last contest for 2007, we wanted to go out on a bang and so first prize is an Xbox 360 Elite system. The stakes were high but so was the quality of the entries. A few of our favorites follow:

• So now more people can know the lie, or so says Tiberius Bill
• Helvetica defuses a difficult gift issue and gives Gordon a serene moment
• Troz expresses himself through Mario, through both still and motion
• Filthysock knows why Norad doesn't track Santa anymore :(
• Havoc1c4 wants you to pick up that present, because you'll like it or else there'll be repercussions
• The way Tiberius Bill tells it, Santa has seen a rough spot this year
• And maybe if you prefer Santa prose before elf hose(s), RomSteady and TShandy provide

Thanks to all the participants, I think the quality of entries has never been higher, which makes our job all the tougher. In the end, the numerous and high quality entries of Havoc1c4 have brought us to choose him as the winner of the Xbox 360 Elite. Thanks for all the entries, tune back in tomorrow when I pass out the rest of our holiday goodies. In the mean time, feel free to look through all the entries.
