I have not been submitted to Nintendo Power since I was 13, a decade ago...wow I all of a sudden feel old. But if that is the only method then I am not wasting ungodly amounts of money on a magizine I don't need...except FHM  ;D

I should be getting NP soon, I didn't like it(I got one 4 yrs ago) since it's got alot of walkthroughs and stuff I don't want. But they have a "3 for free" offer on nintendo, so I did that.  ;D

I am angry though, they said my magazine would be here by the 15th...  >:(

So now I probably won't get to enter.  :'(

Haha yeah, I did the Three For Free offer as well.

I was hoping I'd get the June issue with all the Zelda stuff, but now I have to go out and buy it.

Blasted Nintendo.

Yeah, they decided they're only going to send me 2 instead of 3. I never got July  >:( And it says I have to renew by July if I don't want to miss an issue. I'm like, WT...! You didn't send me my issue and now you're like hurry or you'll miss one.  ??? I don't know anymore...

Yep, still not here... See I already have August, it came last week, but on Nintendo.com it says that's my second issue, I was supposed to get July a while ago...

Well, today I went to my library's Young Adult Periodicals (no kidding) section, and took a look at the July '05 Nintendo Power. Sure enough, right in the middle there's a card that you can tear out, fill out (includes a survey) and then send in.

Grand prize (25): Copy of Twilight Princess before everyone else! (Quote: "A nation of fans will bow before you..." or something). You also get a special NP limited-edition TTP t-shirt.

First prize (1000): Just the t-shirt (which I'd kill for anyways XD).

So yep. The downside? Well, besides the unethical-ness of tearing that page out of the library's copy of NP (I'd probably ask first :D), your entry has to be submitted by July 1st (apparently each issue of NP comes out a month before its "date", e.g. the current issue there was the August 2005 issue, which I browsed as well). Some cool TTP info in those, with interviews of the graphic artists and stuff.

Anyway, just thought I'd let you guys know. Maybe the reason why you didn't get July (the issue that is) is that it came out in June? And was shipped out in May? Just an idea.

Laaaaaame. I just got the July '05 issue last week. I was planning to send in that card two.

Gah, foiled again.
