Fallout 3 puppet contest: And the winner is...
Hi all,
First of all, I'd like to thank everyone who entered my contest. I'm serious when I say I wish I had something for all of you-- sadly, in the end there can be only one winner, which means over 30 of you are going to be disappointed by what you read here.
Right up front, I'd like to thank The Golden Avatar for allowing me to use his Random Name Selector program to determine the winner of this contest. I was considering other ways of selecting someone randomly such as assigning everyone a number and using the /random function in WoW or throwing darts or something, but this worked out much better.
I apologize for the ad in the center of the video. I'm not very familiar with screen capture software, and this was the first one that I came across that was free. I'm on a budget, so that was an important consideration. I added a picture of the puppet to the top of the screen to push the ad out of the name list, so I hope everything is still legible. Without further ado, here's the winner!

Congratulations to the lucky winner. Just send me a PM with your contact info and I'll get your puppet shipped out as soon as possible.
I'd like to give KamikazeTutor and EternalDarkwing something special as a consolation prize. They both put in some extra effort on their avatars and I'd like to reward that. If you guys send me your contact info, I'll send you one of the cards that were passed out at the Fallout 3 demonstration.
With any luck, I should be able to have some late PAX impressions up by the end of the week. Sadly I wasn't able to hang out with the Destructoid crew for the majority of the show-- a mistake I intend to rectify next year. Once again, congratulations to Dr. Rockso. If those of you who entered want to change your avatar back, (I know Necros' most recent one gives him a warm feeling) feel free to do so now. Thanks again for playing!

About Kevin McCluskyone of us since 5:34 AM on 02.16.2007
I'm a longtime member of Destructoid, and you may have known me in a prior life as Qalamari.
In other words, hi. I've been here a long time. There's a good chance I'm older than you.
I write freelance articles for other publications, so you might see my name elsewhere occasionally.
Disclosure: I wrote a paid testimonial for the Speedify VPN service in April 2017.
Here are some things I like.
May want to stay out of the old stuff. I really didn't know what I was doing when I started here.
Like most other Dtoiders I am male, 15 to 30 something, introverted to the point of social ineptitude, and grew up obsessing over videogames, somewhat to the chagrin of my parents. I am a moderately slavering Nintendo fan because-- let's be fair... they were easily the biggest influence in my formative years. Because of this, it is my belief that Smash Bros. was created specifically for me. The fact that the rest of you may enjoy it is merely coincidence.
I was interviewed, once.
I used to be the Cblog Recapper for Mondays. It was a good run.
Beyamor's avatar fathered mine's love child at PAX East. It's ok though, 'cuz he gave me a picture of a Kirby as child support. Cheap bastard...
I inspired a song. (Thanks, Alphadeus!)
