On Tuesday February 1, Xbox Live’s Major Nelson and I met in person to try the new First Strike DLC maps for Call of Duty: Black Ops. You’ve seen the photos; now see the video:
It was cool to meet and play with Houston Texans RB Arian Foster (@ArianFoster) and Jacksonville Jaguars RB Maurice Jones-Drew (@jones_drew32) — and let me tell you, even though you know it’s because you kept taking him down in a virtual arena, it’s still frightening when someone of MJD’s physical stature and abilities looks at you from across the room and says “I’m coming for you.”
Plus, both NFL stars were gracious enough to create a cool souvenir for one lucky winner:
Yep, that’s an Xbox controller signed by Jones-Drew (#32) and Foster (#23).
To win it, just answer this question, which should be very very easy if you actually watched the video:
If Major Nelson was a dinosaur, what kind of dinosaur would he be?
Please do not post your answer in the comments below. Instead, send your answer in an email (one per person, please) to freestuff@oneofswords.com with the subject line “Grudge Giveaway” before Thursday, February 10th at 11:59 Pacific time and I will pick the winner at random on Friday, February 11. In addition to your answer, please include your name, address, and your phone number (just for FedEx if something gets lost). Full details about how this works, who is eligible, where the prize ships, and all that stuff are in my Contest FAQ, so please give it a look.
UPDATE 2/11: Congratulations to Ian Crowl of Carlisle PA — he’s the randomly selected winner of the controller, and he also got the right answer: “Campasaurus.” I’ll send your prize out shortly! Thanks to everybody who entered; sorry I only have one to give away.
