Nerf Infinus Giveaway!

That’s right, we have a blaster to giveaway, straight from Nerf! Big thanks to Hasbro for making this happen.

We’ll keep it simple – just leave a comment on this post on the Nerf subreddit (that way, I can send a message to the winner to arrange for shipping!). Be sure to check out all the other cool things going on there, as well. On Friday at 6PM EST, I’ll do a drawing (complete with a box of papers with usernames on them) and we can figure out shipping a new blaster to you!

You can comment a poem about your love of the Deploy, for all I care. The content itself doesn’t matter for the contest, as long as it’s appropriate.

As per Reddit terms of service, you need to be 13 to make an account and post. Kids, please ask your parents!

EDIT: I will cut off entries at noon on Friday. I do actually need time to go through all the names for writing down and putting in the box, after all.
