Well I'm up late watching Adult Swim, right? Then the network changed back to Cartoon Network. It was then I saw what seemed to be the ad for the DTG set, BUT with a twist...

Aparently, there is some contest formed by the combined forces of Hasbro (namely Nerf) & Cartoon Network (namely Toonami) to win a chance to have a Nerf war with several friends in a...wait for it

CUSTOM BATTLE FIELD!!!

It seemed like a dream, but I'm on Red Bull so it's not.

100 second place winners score a DTG set...

I don't know the datails, nor is there anything on the Toonami website as of now, but I do know that you must:

WATCH TOONAMI ON CARTOON NETWORK THIS SATURDAY FROM 7:00 TO 11:00 PM (EASTERN & PACIFIC) TO WIN!!!

I don't know about the rest of the NIC, but I sure as hell would like to win. Maybe someone will even get to try out the highly anticipated Magstrike and/or the Longshot?

Ugh, tired...must clear up post...eh, later...(pointless)

[One Man Clan]

Hey, that's pretty cool. I'm sure if it's sponsored by hasbro, it's going to be all stock stuff. Great promotion for the Dart Tag line though.

[Yakkers]

I saw that too. Most people probably already have a Dart Tag set, so if I win that I'll just sell it on ebay. Save up for the Magstrike & Longshot.

Irrelavent, but they are also have a contest where you send them a video of you acting like a moron and having a chance of humiliating yourself to millions of viewers on public television. Or at least that's how I portray it...

Awwww man in the contest details it says that you must be 8 to 14. Maybe I'll get my little brother to enter.

[NerfLad78]

Aw...


I'd have liked to enter that. Sounds cool: a personalized battle-field. And free dart-tag guns.


Maybe I'll ask my neighbor to enter for me.



Sincereley,
Pat

[NerfLad78]

What do they mean by personalized battlefield? Do you get to design it? Lay out the bunkers/forts?

[puggy]

What fun would it be if it was al stock. Even if you snuck in an at2k they will probably supervise your every move. That wouldn't be fun.

[murakumo32]

For all the older members, I bet the younger nerfing community (really only 13-14 years) will play for all of you. If someone should win though, they should think about inviting of the NIC though (for it says not the numbers you can bring)...

[NerfLad78]

Ahhhh loopholes... excellent work minions... But where would it be held? Indoors? A school? A place Toonami specifies?

Hasbro headquarters, where you will hide behind barricades of NIB crossbows.

Really sorry for the Dp but everyone please vote for "Dart attack" If you think it is much better than the rest of the games becasue the other games are stupid and it wouldn;t be any fun going there and shooting at a target.

[SneakUP]

Can someone post the number incase I miss it for dinner or something. If I see the number I will post it.

Edited by SneakUP, 16 April 2006 - 08:41 AM.

[nerfer34]

I guess I can but I checked the schedule or guide and to see what shows were on and they all ae REALLY gay so I may not watch it.

[SneakUP]

They are gay but im so bored so Im just going to watch this festival of gay shows.

Damn its 9:21 Eastern and still no Nerf. Its probally going to be on at like 11.

I only got a litte 1800 804 2340 is that right?

Call it.

[nerfer34]

i am callin it but it is always busy.

HAS ANYONE GOTTEN THROUGH WITH THEM?

Edited by nerfer34, 15 April 2006 - 08:45 PM.

[murakumo32]

I think it's already over. I got through, but I got the message "thank you, play again..." or something. Damn...

EDIT: Has anybody noticed that the sweepstake started on the 10th? They didn't give out the number till the 15th though. Anyone think that they did that so people who really wanted to win would test out toll free numbers in a systematic (or not) way? Would of been fricken hilarious if that was a reason.

Also, the english dub of Naruto sucks ... Seriously
