That’s right, a contest! With an actual prize!

The Side Mission is giving away a brand-new, game of your choice, just for being your clever, witty self.

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, screaming, yet comedic death you witnessed. It may be an entirely made up story about how Robin Williams, furious at you for camping on Wet Work, regressed into rambling 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.
