Mordil and Stormkiller must have plotted my untimely demise together. Stormkiller, popularly known as the “Yawning Ferret,” has captured his second contest crown thanks to his witty inclusion of the DS/Wii franchise Trauma Center. The caption was such a complete 180 to the expected jargon that it caught us all by surprise, pulling a unanimous victory.
However, Stormkiller apparently does not want to reap the rewards. In lieu of going to the second place finisher, we’ve decided to let Stormkiller name the award winner, although Stormkiller will go down in the records books as wearing the official crown. Stormkiller’s choice will receive a copy of Fallen Earth, the difficult-to-find Riot Singed skin, a beta key to a Trion Worlds game, a WoW loot card and more.
All you other contestants better start grovelling or bribing Stormkiller.
That’s it for the PAX Prime 2010 contests, but we’ll have more from the show and more contests up in no time. Actually, I did an impromptu contest this morning for another copy of Fallen Earth.
BlizzCon SWAG contest you ask? Shazbot! That sounds like a good idea!

Want some free SWAG? Good, here’s your chance to earn it. Calm down, this contest isn’t as complicated or challenging as our E3 contest. The reward for winning will still be enticing. It just won’t arrive in a large box as part of a menagerie of items.
The task is simple. That picture, that one up there ^^, is without a caption. Your duty, should you chose to accept it, is to leave a comment with the best caption you can come up with (be sure to use a real e-mail address!). It can be inventive, witty, eyebrow-raising or unusual. Whatever gets the Lore Hounds to react will be deemed the winner.
A little background information: We’re hanging with a Trion Worlds booth babe showcasing Rift: Planes of Telara.
Most of the rewards for winning The Finale will be digital, so everyone should enter. If you’re outside of the United States, you’ll forfeit the physical prize(s). Fear not, the major prize does not need shipping. As far as I know, there are no region restrictions on the digital SWAG. Loot includes a highly sought after League of Legends Singed Skin, another entire MMOG, a Rift comic and a WoW loot card.
Your mission starts now. You have four days (October 7) before time runs out.
/me lights fuse, runs.

Unlike the results for the first caption contest, this one wasn’t even close. Our winner took the extra time to discover Mordil and I’s newfound addiction, while managing to make each of us laugh out loud. Sexual innuendo, a motif I expected a lot of given the subject material, was avoided for a more wholesome topic. Well, as long as you consider destruction of private property and theft wholesome.
That’s right, the unanimous winner was Luanmali, with the first entry:
“Can you believe we actually found ‘Brave Firefighters’?”
“Go get some bolt cutters. I want souvenirs.”
There was no tie for second this time, but other contestants brought the lawlz with a reference to Ghost Busters, creative sexual innuendos and randomness.
Luanmail scored a copy of Fallen Earth with 30-days free, some DDO/LotRO points and if located in the United States, some physical SWAG as well.
Keep up the good work, and stay tuned for the third, and final, PAX Prime 2010 caption contest coming on Monday! It’ll have the best SWAG yet, including a highly sought after League of Legends Singed Skin, a chance for more physical goodies in the form of a WoW loot card and another entire game.
