There were not nearly as many entries as we had hoped, but we figure that’s because the contest was so darn difficult. After all, one video had the glasses appear for a scant few seconds, the last seconds of the episode. A pair of others had the glasses on someone else. A healthy portion used the setting itself, be it lighting or colors, to mask the presence of my nerd specs until the right moment, or the glasses are best located when searching for an odd reflection. We procured a lot of SWAG, and we felt it was only fair to make you work for it.
Plus, we like being creative with our contests.

SWAG, or Stuff We All Get, is often the prized possession of those that attend the yearly mayhem known as E3. Lucky (and incredibly tired) attendees walk away from the show with an extra suitcase full of knick-knacks, trinkets, dodads and trifles. Games are plastered on to all forms of odd ties-in, F3AR water bottles, Bethesda Softworks zip-up hoodies, Global Agenda buttons, SOE hipster hats, Marvel Super Hero Squad Online playing cards. You name it, someone has done it.
I’m not gloating about all of the awesome kitsch I picked up. I am trying to get youpumped for it. Why? Because we at Lore Hound are giving it all away! Seriously, watch the video above if you don’t believe me. I’ll wait for you after the jump. Continue Reading

Done? Excellent. The scavenger hunt is straightforward. You must locate my thick black glasses in each of of the E3 2010 videos (links below). Upon spotting my spectacles note the timestamp and location of the glasses. Jot down all of the times and locations, then e-mail the list over to admin_at_lorehound_dot_com (expanded to combat SPAM) with the Subject as E3 2010: The Contest. The first three readers to do so correctly will win a subset of the pictured swag (below).
Be warned, you’ll need superb Where’s Waldo and Highlights skills. The glasses are incredibly well hidden or only in the frame for a few seconds during some videos!
