    SketchNation: DIY iPad gaming plus a giveaway

    Posted on April 13, 2010 | No Comments
    If you've dreamt all your life of blowing up your third-grade teacher with spitball guns, your prayers have been answered. SketchNation is a surprisingly odd game that allows you to select all of the sprites in gameplay. You can set your own character sprite (a spitball gun, for example), the sprites for the bullets or spitballs, and even set up a boss image (your third-grade teacher). You then fly through a hail of bullets until you beat the game. Apparently you can also blow up Walt Mossberg and David Pogue, for whatever reason. Those men are saints. Anyway, if you'd like to try it out, comment below. I'll send codes to five lucky, random readers. Viel Glück!

    Engadget’s recession antidote: win an 8GB Kingston DataTraveler Mini Slim!

    Posted on May 28, 2009 | No Comments
    This whole global economic crisis, and its resulting massive loss of jobs got us thinking. We here at Engadget didn't want to stand helplessly by, announcing every new round of misery without giving anything back -- so we decided to take the opportunity to spread a little positivity. We'll be handing out a new gadget every day (except for weekends) to lucky readers until we run out of stuff / companies stop sending things. Today we've got a Kingston Technology 8GB Data Traveler Mini Slim on offer. Read the rules below (no skimming -- we're omniscient and can tell when you've skimmed) and get commenting! Check after the break for some photos of the prize!

    Special thanks to Kingston Technology for providing the gear!

    The rules:
    • Leave a comment below. Any comment will do, but if you want to share your proposal for "fixing" the world economy, that'd be sweet too.
    • You may only enter this specific giveaway once. If you enter this giveaway more than once you'll be automatically disqualified, etc. (Yes, we have robots that thoroughly check to ensure fairness.)
    • If you enter more than once, only activate one comment. This is pretty self explanatory. Just be careful and you'll be fine.
    • Contest is open to anyone in the 50 States, 18 or older! Sorry, we don't make this rule (we hate excluding anyone), so be mad at our lawyers and contest laws if you have to be mad.
    • Winner will be chosen randomly. The winner will receive one Kingston Technology 8GB Data Traveler Mini Slim.
    • If you are chosen, you will be notified by email. Winners must respond within three days of the end of the contest. If you do not respond within that period, another winner will be chosen.
    • Entries can be submitted until Thursday, May 28th, 11:59PM ET. Good luck!
    • Full rules can be found here.
