DAILY MANIFESTO

Power Pellet Haiku Fridays

Posted on Friday, August 5 @ 16:37:52 Eastern by Josh_Laddin
Is it Friday already? The week went by so fast with all of this 3DS and Vita news... but now that we're here it's time for some haiku! And appropriately, this week we're giving away Pac-Man & Galaga Dimensions for 3DS!



It's funny because it's true.


Whether you've decided to grab a shiny new 3DS at that tasty low price and need to start working on your game library, or you're an early adopter and you want to round out that slew of 20 freebies, a free game will power your pellet up and chase those ghosts of boredom away! And this one's actually more like six free games!

On top of that, I recently checked out the two upcoming Cabela's hunting games in the back of Activision's van (it's not as weird as it sounds, I swear) and made off with some Cabela's Big Game Hunter 2012 t-shirts, so I'll throw in one of those too! I hope the winner wears either a medium or an XL, because that's all I got!

Show us some old-school love this week! To win the prize pack, just leave a Pac-Man and/or Galaga-themed haiku in the comments section. If you manage to combine both of them—well, I'm not saying you'll get bonus points... but I'm not not saying it either...

Check in on Monday to see if out-haiku'd the rest!

    Free Pac? Galaga?
    Hot deal, I suppose Laddin
    For all six of you.

    And Pac-Man eats them.

    Tremendous. That's all I wanted to say but I have to keep writing or else the stupid spam filter won't let me post. That's slightly ridiculous.
