Hordes of Serious Sam fans and would-be video game writers around
the world can now have a hand in Serious Sam HD on Xbox LIVE Arcade
for the Xbox 360 video game and entertainment system from Microsoft
and PC. Brought to the masses by Croteam, Devolver Digital, cdv
Software Entertainment AG, and Majesco Entertainment, an innovative
provider of video games for the mass market, the Serious Tweet
Contest gives gamers a chance to write their very own clever
one-liner or hilarious wisecrack that Sam 'Serious' Stone will drop
right in the middle of all the frantic, non-stop shooting action in
Serious Sam HD. The lucky winner will have his or her line recorded
by John J. Dick, the voice of Serious Sam, and integrated into the
upcoming summer release for the entire world to hear. "We have
always admired the love and support fans have shown Croteam and the
Serious Sam franchise," said a shy, unassuming spokesperson for
Devolver Digital. "This is a fantastic way to get gamers involved
in Serious Sam HD and give our fans a chance to contribute to the
game itself." So how does a budding video game writer enter a
finely crafted line for a chance to hear it in Serious Sam HD?
Gamers can log on to Twitter and send a brilliant tweet quip to
@devolverdigital between July 15 and July 30. Croteam will choose
the winning line and Devolver Digital will announce it to all
followers of http://www.twitter.com/devolverdigital and
http://www.twitter.com/majesco in early August. "I never get any
thanks for the wonderfully poetic and emotionally layered lines I
write for Sam 'Serious' Stone," said an overworked and underpaid
writer at Croteam "So guess what? Let someone else take a crack at
it and see how hard it is. These witty remarks don't write
themselves you know." In addition to having the winning line appear
in Serious Sam HD, the winner's name will be immortalized in the
credits of the game and forever become a part of Serious Sam lore.
