These Are Kotaku’s Deadliest Assassins

Kotaku AU

To win a copy of No More Heroes 2 – and the Aussie exclusive Travis Touchdown t-shirt – we asked you to prove your assassin credentials. Let’s meet Kotaku’s geekiest deadliest killers.

Thanks to All Interactive Entertainment, we had FIVE copies of No More Heroes 2 on Wii and FIVE very limited edition No More Heroes 2 t-shirts to give away. That’s the shirt there on the right, as worn by Travis Touchdown in the game.

In No More Heroes, Travis Touchdown is a geek – or otaku – who becomes an assassin. In No More Heroes 2, he dual-wields katana lightsabers. You don’t get much geekier than that.

You’re all geeks – or otaku – so we asked you to show us why you’d make a good assassin. You had to send us a photo of yourself proving why being a geek makes you the perfect assassin.

Here are the winners…

From left to right, there’s Cat’s character sheet with an inventory boasting everything a true geek requires; there’s Jamie riffing on Metal Gear Solid with perfect comic timing; there’s Steve’s beautifully lit pun; and Troy seizing the opportunity to indulge his penchant for crossdressing – and making us laugh.

Well done to the winners. I’ll be in touch shortly to arrange delivery of your prizes.

Oh?

What’s that?

Why did I only announce four winners?

Wait and see…

      I’m predicting that somebody did something that could be described as ‘Epic Awesomeness’… I’m also gonna predict that it may be somewhat Chuloopa related…

      Though just to cover all eventualities… I predict that I may be wrong too..

        He’s already won.

        Getting us to look at his crotch to find the Kotaku logo isn’t my idea of awesomeness.

        I actually took a photo for this where my collection of Rubik’s cubes would summon Pinhead from Hellraiser as soon as any of them were solved. But I didn’t submit it because the photo quality was awful. Serves me right for taking it with my phone I guess.

          Chuloopa

          Well at least my crotch is covered.. could have been much worse.

          You should post your photo in the “talk amongst yourselves” thread – i’d very much like to see it – poor quality or not!
