hat’s right, The Side Mission is having a contest, and we’re giving away an actual prize.
A brand-new game of your choice can be yours, just for being your clever, witty self.
What’s more, your odds are pretty good, as it doesn’t appear that buzz for this contest is exactly spreading like wildfire; we haven’t received many entries, despite announcing the contest awhile ago… I know, right?
The Challenge: In 300 words or less, describe your funniest First Person Shooter moment ever.
It may relate to something you heard someone say on mic. It may recount a gruesome and screaming, yet comedic death that you witnessed. It may be an entirely made up story about how Robin Williams, furious at you for camping on Wet Work, began screaming at you in cartoon voices and vowed to make you his bitch. Whatever; there are no limits on what you can write about, just don’t be a sick bastard, and for best results, make it funny.
To help you get started: think of a time when you laughed your ass off while playing (or when your friends laughed at you, for that matter) and just try to convey the humour to someone who wasn’t there.
Email your entry (no attachments please, just put the text in the body of the email) to chris@sidemission.com
CLOSING DATE: Extended indefinitely, until we get some more entries. Want to say sorry the couple of dudes who already sent in a story…. just know that your odds are still pretty good, this contest hasn’t generated a ton of buzz… people are being shy about sharing their writing I guess.
The rest of you: SEND IN A STORY! Maybe you’re funny as fuck and just don’t know it.
PRIZE: A brand-new game for Wii, PS3 or 360, delivered to your door from Amazon or Gamestop. Any regular game of your choice, no special editions or premium-priced bundles.

Hey Greg, contest is still running, giving it some time for more entries to come in! We'll definitely email the winner.
ahh alright mate. so instead of the Prize being Modern Warfare 2 for PS3…it's any game prize what so ever? That's tight!
so…is this competition still active? interested to see who the winner was :p
Great website you guys have here, i would love to get a PS3 copy…since i already own the 360 version and buying two of the same games is $$$.
plus….think about it, with a new game, i always have a chance of having more "funniest FPS moments" haha. and btw, the caption on that controller thing-a-majigee should be…
