A Boy and His Blob is the adorable Wii remake of one of the most fondly-remember NES platformers. You could win a copy by sharing some love.
Thanks to our friends at AFA Interactive, we’ve got five copies of the game, plus five extremely limited edition art books, to give away all this week. The art book contains gorgeous concept art (pictured below) from the game’s artists and there were only 130 of them printed worldwide. Yours will be hand-numbered and everything!
One unique feature of A Boy and His Blob is that it has a hug button. Yes, a hug button. A button for giving hugs.
To be in the running to win, we want you to give a hug, too. Send us a photo of yourself hugging someone or something. The five hugs that most warms our heart with love and affection will win. It’s as simple as that.
Entries close at midnight, Sunday, November 29. Good luck!

seriously awesome comp overload…
if i enter all 3 current comps do i have a chance at winning something from all 3 if my entries are good enough, or will i have to choose which one i want to most?… i’m not too sure how it works.. i have won a couple in a row, but never at once.. i’m not sure if anyone would have won more than one at one time. lol

Assuming they let me take the picture for the competition of course. :P
