Hey! Win A Copy Of Klonoa: Door To Phantomile!

by on

Haiku your way into a shiny new copy of this delightful Wii platformer, courtesy of Namco Bandai.

I'll keep this one short: We've got one brand new copy of Klonoa: Door to Phantomile for the Wii, courtesy of Namco Bandai. One of you intrepid readers is going to win it. And how, you may ask? By writing a Klonoa-themed haiku and posting it in the comments, that's how. Remember, a traditional haiku has three lines at five, seven, and five syllables each. Here's my crappy example.


Floppy ears are cool,
My hat has Pac-Man on it.
Eat wind bullets, bitch.

I'll give you the duration of the weekend to get your haiku on here, and then pick the best one and announce the winner on Monday. If you need some inspiration, you might take a look at this week's Quick Look.

Your last line is off.
One too many syllables
Ruin the whole thing.

(And aren't you a super-mega-"get-everything"-collector?)

But there are some rules
you must obey with poems, some

All poems have rules.
Just look at William Shakespeare:

Klonoa, it rhymes.
With cannoli, it tastes fine.
And that ain't no lie!

The way that's worded, he (and presumably Jeff and Ryan) would judge the haikus AND announce a winner on Monday.

I don't know what time it is on the moon, but it's still Monday where I am. :P
Of course, this could be one of those things where they say one thing and it happens way later / not at all.

It's Monday on the moon, as well. We adopted the Gregorian calendar long before you guys did. It's like we're Europe, you're America, and this calendar is the metric system :P.

Yea, we know, but it's like being a kid waiting for Christmas day, knowing your parents work nights and forgot to wrap any of the presents.

For some reason I keep picturing everyone in the office all passed out on the ground. It's probably because of that Age of Booty video. That's what you get for taking so long. I start imagining things! But I'm sure the reason it's taking so long is because you guys are just busy and what not...
