Hey, we’ve got another two copies of Overlord II to give away today to the best limerick writers in the Kotaku community. We also reveal the first two winners.
As you may know, Overlord II is all about the evil. As the titular Overlord, you command your minions to club seals to death, destroy hundreds of crates and beat up an entire race of effeminate elves. It is, as they say, some ridiculous fun.
We’re giving away two copies every day this week, one for PS3 (pictured) and one for Xbox 360. Plus, every winner also gets a set of four minion figurines.
All you have to do to win is write a cheeky limerick about your Overlording exploits. Check out the original post for the full details and leave your entry over there. Don’t leave your entry here!
That’s right, you can only enter the comp in the original post. Entries received between 12:00am and 11:59pm each day will go into that day’s draw.
UPDATE: Hey! People who can’t read! You need to leave your limerick in the original post!
Oh, and here are the first two winners…
Monday’s PS3 Winner
Atomsk
Some villagers out in the sticks
Had thought to appease me with gifts
But once I’d received them
My minions relieved them
From their meaningless lives, the twits!
Monday’s Xbox 360 Winner
Garrett T
There lives a wily villain named Dave,
Who thought that contests were quite the rave.
His minions tap the keys,
‘Gooses all, trying to please.
How sad- to Kotaku I’m just a slave.
Word to the wise: anyone else mentioning me or Kotaku will very probably not win! (Unless it’s really good.)

With whom evil struck such a chord
When he heard a laugh
Most often he’d barf
And gross out his entire horde

We’re in a gamer-haze
When you said “original post”
we heard “sunday roast”
and posted the limerick here anyway
I’ve given up competing. I went mad over coming up with answers for prototype…this one was just for fun.

Tuesday, June 23, 2009 at 11:27 AMThere once was a devious minion.
He was held in low public opinion.
At the overlords command
The minion had weapons in hand
and the people became part of his dominion.

If I’m only allowed to pick the one console version, 360.

Tuesday, June 23, 2009 at 11:53 AMThe Overlord is stealthy and mean
To avoid him you must quarantine
He’ll frighten your mum
and promptly become
disorderly, cruel and obscene.

Tuesday, June 23, 2009 at 11:57 AMThere was a minion called Bugley,
Who considered himself quite ugly.
So this quickly he implored,
To his dear Overlord,
Who surprisingly replied he was snugly.

Tuesday, June 23, 2009 at 12:33 PMThere once was this dude from Mordialloc,
who previously had lost his c***.
The Overlord did grin,
but during his act of sin,
His minions dressed him up in a frock.

Tuesday, June 23, 2009 at 1:37 PMThese lambs were meant for slaughter,
Mothers fathers sons and daughters.
Hatchets and swords will hack,
My minions lodge them in their backs,
And bring the bodies back in big sacks.
360 Please.

Tuesday, June 23, 2009 at 1:48 PMThere once was an overlord who ruled the land
He loved crushing skulls with his bare hands
It made his minions laugh with glee
When he made his enemies so scared they would pee
At least it’s better than playing with your Wii
360 please
