About a month ago, I volunteered to help with the Eurogamer Expo. On the right you shall see a picture of me helping. After laughing at nerds for getting their photos taken with the Nvidia girls I somehow ended up in a similar photo which makes me a Grade A hypocrit, but hey it was all part of the job.

Volunteering mainly consisted of walking around in a circle making sure the consoles were running and no one nicked any controllers. On my watch one PS3 controller went missing so I think I did ok. Some kinds tried to nick an 360 at one stage so it could have been worse. Good fun really.

When we finished this endurance challenge we were thanked (obviously), given £30 and given whatever crap was left. I managed to blag two, COUNT THEM! two Left 4 Dead 2 t shirts. Good ere innit. Here’s what it looks like

Obviously I only need one to add to my collection so I vowed to give the other one away via the medium of a twitter competition. It’s taken me roughly a month but I’ve finally figured out what to do. As per usual it was a twitter revelation:

“http://twitpic.com/r00nz – please pray silence for the crappest drawing of a monkey ever”

to which I added

“You’ll notice it has a nana.”

which lead to

“Also I just thought of a competition for this L4D2 tshirt.”

that finally gave birth to

“I want you to draw a zombie like a 5 year old would. Most authentic gets the tshirt.”

And there you have it folks. #zombiescribbles was born!

I want you to draw a zombie like a 5 year old would. Now this was a point of contention for a while as some of you people out there with 5 year olds. This puts you at a point of advantage. Worry not, I have taken this into consideration. The interesting twist in this quiz?

It will be judged by a 5 year old

Sam, my lovely friend at work (@percivalh, please follow) has a cracking wee son called Milo who will judge the competition and also provide a control picture for you all to reference from.

Edit: And here it is!

There is one final detail to this competition. As method of payment to young Milo, I shall be giving him my favourite transformer toy, Scorponok.

Isn’t he grand? The extra detail is – for every entry I get, I’ll give Milo one of my Transformers.

Also if you want one, I’ll chuck in a Transformers toy for 3rd, 2nd and 1st place too (in respective order of epicness). I’ll be administering the competition via twitter. Please hashtag your entry with #zombiescribbles and the closing date is…Friday the 11th of December! (2009)

So get drawing!
