Today – and every day this week – we’ll be giving away two copies of Overlord II, the very cheeky new evil ‘em up from Codemasters. Find out how to win after the jump.
There’s a lot of games nowadays that ask you if you’re Good or if you’re Evil, if you want to pet the puppy or kick the puppy. Overlord II isn’t that kind of game.
In Overlord II you either bite the puppy’s head off or you order one of your minion’s to do it for you. Then you bite your minion’s head off.
Overlord II is all about being evil. Which is why you’re so keen to enter this giveaway.
Today we’ve got one copy of Overlord II for Xbox 360 and one copy of Overlord II for PS3 to give away. Plus, both winners will each score a set of four Overlord minion figurines.
To be in the running we want you to be as cheeky as those minions. You need to write a limerick all about your Overlording exploits designed to get us cackling with wickedness.
For the pedants out there, Wiki says “The standard form of a limerick is a stanza of five lines, with the first, second and fifth having eight or nine syllables and rhyming with one another, and the third and fourth having five or six and rhyming separately.” Consider it a guide.
Leave your limerick in the comments below. One entry per person per day is allowed. If you leave multiple entries, only the first limerick will be considered during that days draw.
UPDATE: And please state which console you’d like!
UPDATE #2: This competition is now closed.
Good luck!

fills the hearts of all brave men with dread,
but he holds a dark secret,
he’ll do anything to keep it;
the pink slippers kept under his bed.

Friday, June 26, 2009 at 2:00 PMHmmm, last chance … got to make this one good …
The Overlord was feeling downcast,
though flush from success in the past.
Being Evil is fine,
most of the time,
but he thinks he is being typecast.
PS3.
Only one console for me.
As you can see.
And with that, I’ll flee.

Friday, June 26, 2009 at 2:03 PMThe overlord was downhearted,
His minions up and departed
They didn’t rebel
But ran from the smell
He really shouldn’t have farted

Friday, June 26, 2009 at 2:40 PMThe Overlord doesn’t kill just for kicks,
Though his minions may often play tricks.
The Overlord has a reason,
And coming this season,
He’ll destroy anyone daring to write limericks.
- PS3

Friday, June 26, 2009 at 3:35 PMFinal entry.
Xbox 360 please!
There were two women Velvet and Rose,
Who loved to sing out in prose,
For the lord that they loved,
Who lived high above,
And could choose between the two h***.
It’s my monday entry, but it’s my favourite. If I don’t win, thanks for the fun, though ;)

Friday, June 26, 2009 at 4:28 PMThere was an evil overlord named Conroy
Who hated the internet as a small boy
He would ban online games
The ‘Net bring down in flames
Fun and freedom he sought to destroy
360, please.

Friday, June 26, 2009 at 4:55 PMWait, can I change to PS3? I like Will’s entry better than mine! :)

Friday, June 26, 2009 at 4:37 PMThese worthless mortals I shall slay,
When me and my minions come to play,
Endowed with poop-flinging might,
Mortals cower at my sight,
Tremble, dear mortals, I am here to stay.
PS3 version please.
Will
Friday, June 26, 2009 at 4:42 PMOnce more with feeling!
These minions have got to be mental
The treatment they get ain’t real gentle
Yet they show up and fight
Without much respite
It must be something to do with our dental
360 please.

Friday, June 26, 2009 at 5:21 PMOverlord called Jackson died today
Won hearts with music in his day
Sang songs around the world
He danced, sang and twirled
The King of Pop he was everyday
360 please.

A fitting eulogy for the King of Pop.

Friday, June 26, 2009 at 6:05 PMThe future overlord is dreaming
that his limerick is winning
In order to have his minions
and all of it’s companions
for the sake of his bad being.

Friday, June 26, 2009 at 8:14 PM“Can’t you stop?” nagged the Overlord’s wife
in the middle of battle and strife
“beg pardon?” said he,
“your damn trinkets aren’t free,
so it’s them or the edge of my knife!”

Friday, June 26, 2009 at 8:15 PMoh sorry, Xbox 360 please :)

Friday, June 26, 2009 at 8:55 PMI sent my minions to do evil deeds,
To gather life force for me needs,
One heard me terribly wrong,
He broke into magnificent song,
And now his touring in Leeds.

Xbox 360 please.

Friday, June 26, 2009 at 11:33 PMThe Minions snarled with gnaw,
The keep was now his without a flaw
In a thrown sat the evil lord,
A new Kingdom his reward
At least until he saw the tax law.
(X360 Please)

Saturday, June 27, 2009 at 2:33 AMHere was a lord waited on by his minions.
Whom, if counted, numbered into the billions.
One day he was bored.
So did he order a sword.
Made from the bodies of his millions.

Saturday, June 27, 2009 at 10:33 AMAn anti-limerick:
The Overlord was getting bored
So he stabbed a monster with his sword
The creepy, zombie, rapist died
And a lot of freaks on TV cried
In return the Overlord said “Goddammit people shut the hell up! The guy touched kids! Every time I turn on the TV, some douchebag off the street is saying schnap like “Aw man he was the greatest, I mean he did some bad things but I love him he was the best, RIP Michael I love you forever”- SHUTUP… I may be an evil Overlord but DAMN. You realize that when you say he did “some bad things” your talking about PEDOPHILIA? Grrr, I mean just grrrrr! I’m glad I killed him, I’m glad I stabbed him with my sword. And you know what else just irritates me? When these same douchehats say dopey dumb crap like “He was a beautiful person”- what cho talkin’ bout fools? I know the jokes are old but seriously, the guy looked like a zombified middle aged white woman, and he payed to look like that too! ARGHH… I wish you all death… in fact I’m gonna take my sword, get a bunch minions together and kill every last one of you dumby dumb slackjawed crazies and I will dance in your blood, and none of that freakin’ moonwalk crap either, I’m gonna do a manly dance like ummm, polka? I don’t know- forget the dancing, I’m gonna bathe in you blood… FOR I AM THE OVERLORD!
Oh and uh, PS3 cause its made of plastic and kids turn it on… *Badom tish*! Get it? Because like- ah, oh whatever I’ll shutup now.
