<p>Yup. It&#8217;s true. I&#8217;m a wiener.</p>
<p>I mean&#8230;<em>winner.</em> Of what? Well, of a little indie game just recently released for Xbox Live Arcade. It&#8217;s called <strong>Limbo</strong>, and all I know about it is that it&#8217;s mostly in black in white, has a rather distinctive noir art style to it, and there&#8217;s a particularly creepy spider creeping about within. So that&#8217;s exciting. And all I had to do to win was <a href="http://twitter.com/multiplayers">follow <strong>MTV Multiplayer</strong> on their Twitter account,</a> re-tweet their post about the giveaway contest, and wait patiently as they choose five winners at random.</p>
<p>Now I just have to get through the work day. Oh boy. Will start downloading immediately once I get home, and hey, who knows, I might even write about the gaming experience. I know&#8230;such a thing is <em>unheard of</em> &#8217;round these here parts.</p>
<p>This also now marks my second contest victory involving Twitter re-tweets. <a href="https://grindingdown.wordpress.com/2010/01/21/review-serious-sam-hd-the-first-encounter/">Back in January 2010, I won a download code from <strong>That Videogame Blog</strong> for <strong>Serious Sam HD: The First Encounter</strong>.</a> Hopefully I&#8217;ll have more fun with <strong>Limbo</strong> than I did that piece of spastic shootery, and hopefully that spider won&#8217;t turn me into a wimpering puddle of Ron Weasley.</p>
