Monthly comment contest: Win free games from T3
You like video games, but there’s a nagging problem:
They tend to cost money.
In the spirit of increasing long-term readership generosity, we thought we’d help you out with that little problem. Every month at T3, we’ll be giving out two free games to you, our readers.
Just comment on any article on the site!
Every month we’ll pick the funniest comment and the most insightful comment and award each person with any game on Steam up to $12.50 in value.
There are no limits to how many times you can enter, but keep in mind we’ll be awarding prizes based on quality. We love hearing your thoughts when they’re genuinely entertaining or helpful. Spamming Pokemon memes? Not so much. We basically want to reward readers for sharing unique opinions and contributing to the overall discourse here at Top Tier Tactics.
If it goes well and our site isn’t crashed by millions of “FIIIRRRSST!!!1!” comments, we’ll look to increase the prize amount or the number of winners, or add a category like “Most hauntingly predictive comment in retrospect.” In the mean time, we have free stuff to give away!
This is a great excuse to tell the world what you’re really thinking. Best case scenario, you get some free loot on Steam. Worst case scenario? You make some random people on the internet mad. Actually, that might not be so bad, either.
And while this particular article does technically count in the contest this month, we know you probably have lots to say about other subjects like Dungeon Defenders, Xiant’s new design series, or Mass Effect 3. Don’t be shy, let us know what’s on your mind!
Rules and disclaimers
Winners must be legally eligible to accept prizes and must pay any applicable state and federal fees/taxes as required by law. No substitutions or transfers will be made. Winners must comment using a valid e-mail address in order to claim their prizes. Entrants who are proven or suspected of suspicious activity may be disqualified. Limit one winner per household per calendar quarter. Top Tier Tactics reserves the rights to modify or cancel any aspect of this contest at any time without notice.
My god, what have you guys done? You’ve just opened the floodgates for the internet to enter the site and flood the comments.
God save your souls. XD
Actually, it’d be a lot worse if T3 was giving out ponies.
SHHHHH, don’t give them any more ideas!
Screw the free game I want a pony…..now…..
I want Fluttershy. GIVE IT TO ME!
I wouldn’t mind a Pinkie Pie of my own. Anyways, I’m horrible at comedy, and being insightful, so there goes that prize. Hm… is there a consolation prize for being Guy?
Just for the record, all of these comments are terrible.
If I want to write a terrible comment, then I will write a terrible comment good sir. Why would I write my good comment on the page where you announce this? That’s just silly!
Sorry. Do forum posts count too?
Not at this time, but if I get some sponsored prizes I might be able to extend it or create a different category.
That is to be expected – lol.
I’d probably fire away with comments too, if I had anything to say about the games discussed. Sadly, I only own AC:R and Killing Floor.
Never really cared for Single Player stuff.
*Cough* maybe add a section for Tribes:Ascent or Gotham City: Impostors? *cough*
Why is Scrooge McDuck on there.
I demand the picture to be changed to something more appropriate. That picture does not have anything to do with this contest at all, nor does it represent my financial situation, nor the spirit of generosity in this contest.
Or is this picture some-kind of hidden message? Is this WingspanTT trolling again? Are you just trying to raise my hopes just to dash it in the last second, like Scrooge has always done to Donald? Are you flaunting your wealth to the less fortunate members of this website/forum?
Damn you WingspanTT and your damn nonsensical picture choosing skills.
Quite unfitting indeed! after all Scrooge McDuck’s the one that get’s his face crushed, diving headfirst into a pool of metal coins. Is that gonna happen to us too?
While I can suspend my disbelief on the properties of the pool of metal coins, I am struggling to make sense of the appropriateness of the symbolic meanings within this picture.
This picture shows a duck-man of great wealth, who happens to be quite stingy and cruel. It contradicts the picture that WingspanTT is trying to paint by setting up this contest. Clearly a contest like this is meant to encourage people to comment and promote the fact that TopTierTactics is a very generous website.
I’m going to go with the analogy that Wing is Scrooge McDuck swimming though a pool of golden comments trying to find his #1 dime.
you’re doing this wrong. lemme show you: WINGSPAN YOU ARE AWESOME
i just won
no.
I’m gonna give “most insightful comment” a shot
I shall present a monologue called: “Is normalcy really objective?”
Is normalcy objective? Is it subjective? Define normal.
The merriam-webster dictionary defines it as:
Normal (adj)
a : according with, constituting, or not deviating from a norm, rule, or principle
b : conforming to a type, standard, or regular pattern
What is this type? What is this standard? What is the “norm”?
Maybe for you, normal is eating a cheeseburger. I bet people from India would disagree.
Is conformity normal? is anticonformity normal?
If you conform, you’re letting people tell you what to do, if you don’t you’re letting people you hate tell you what to do.
Normalcy in reality is just a thin veil that every person paints over everything, For some that veil might be blue, for others, pink, and for others, black.
Everyone has their own views and their own opinions. What’s normal for one is batshit crazy for another. The media wants to set normal, mold the world in their perfect image, but you can’t! You can’t change the thoughts, the beliefs of a person. Someone will always think differently, no matter how many sheep they have brainwashed.
I think normalcy is subjective. Maybe that’s just what they want is to believe.

forgot to add my profile, just in case.
Thanks for the contest wing.
Also, sorry for the spelling error, it’s supposed to be “…what they want us to believe”
You guys are aware you can comment on *any* article on the site, right? Doesn’t have to be this one. It’s going to be every month.
I guess that insight would be kinda out of place in any other article…. And if i commented on a super old one, no one would read it…. Does my entry still count?
Yes it counts ANYWHERE ON THE SITE. People will see your comment in the frontpage comment feed regardless of where you post it!
So…when will you tell us which articles count for the comments?
Don’t make me hurt you.
I think what we really need here is some sort of official post that lists all of the relevant contest information.
Hey Wing, just a small question, would we be able to buy other things on steam? I.E. Stuff like keys from the Mann Co. Store on TF2?? I hate those god dang boxes, I want to buy a few keys lol.
Ah, insightful or funny comments? Well, I used to be an adventurer lik– Comment Removed by the W.G.H.K.A.(Whiterun Guards with Hurt Knees Association)
It can be anything that can be purchased and directly sent via Steam gifts. We can’t buy anything that requires buying, then trading it. Also, it will be limited to one item. So if you want keys you will have to get just 1 key.
The end of the world will be October 12th, 2017.
And yes, I realize the irony of winning “Most hauntingly predictive comment in retrospect,”. I do.
Bump
Posting Bump on an article not only already on the front site, but currently LITERALLY the highest in the list and most frequently commented to.
Genius.
Thx.
I believe this is the .png you are looking for:

And yes, it is 4:40 in the morning. I can’t sleep, okay?
Well, where I live anyway. You wouldn’t have even known!
Damn you brain!
9_12/16/22/5_16/18/9/26/5/19!!!!
All these comments attempting to be the winner want to make me cry in a corner. What has happened to the internet? Are we really that selfish for new stuff? WHAT HAPPENED TO OUR HUMANITY?
That said, I like this idea.
Where are your pants wingsPANTt ?
Ah lame jokes the thing that powers the internet.
All of these comments suck. :(
Wing look at what you have done. These people are making these rather corny jokes just to win free stuff. The only reason Im not making a corny joke is because I don’t really play pc.
these guy on youtube corrects a grammar error only to relies someone corrects his spelling error for misspelling grammar also this guy is complaining that all the top comments are about justin bieber dick and then his comment become’s the top comment ironies at it’s best.
Wow… look at this…
Dance monkeys! Dance!
