Popular Post eigen-space Posted April 8, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted April 8, 2019 (edited) Second Annual Eurovision Giveaway! For those of you unfamiliar with it... Eurovision is kind of like the Olympics meets The X Factor, The Voice, American Idol, and any number of other singing contest shows. Each country, limited primarily to European countries with a few exceptions, chooses one song to send to the competition to compete. It has been around since 1956 and has seen winners such as ABBA and Celine Dion. Eurovision also tends to generate plenty of memes, like Epic Sax Guy: The Challenge: This year I will be giving away a $20 PSN card to one person, and an additional $20 PSN card will be given by @cjshaitan! This will be different from last year as I'm actually going to make you play a game for it.... because this is a gaming website after all. You will need to do two things... Requirement 1: In honor of last year's winner, who made the chicken dance culturally-relevant again while also clucking like a chicken during her song's chorus, you must get a platinum or 100% in a game that has a chicken in it. The chicken can be a character in the game, an NPC, an animal you raise, a skin/costume that you can put on, an enemy that you fight, a food that you eat or cook, someone's nickname... The possibilities are endless! You will just need to explain exactly how your game is chicken-related... screenshots of the chicken-related business will get you bonus points (which mean nothing in terms of this contest, but I'll give you a point toward your community reputation). Requirement 2: You must tell us who your favorite entry is in this year's Eurovision Song Contest. This doesn't necessarily have to be who you think will win, but whoever you like the best out of the 41 entries! You can view all music videos for the entries on the official Eurovision YouTube channel. Additional Rules/Information: You must complete your game between 12:01 AM on April 9, 2019 and 11:59 PM on May 19, 2019 (time zones are MST). You can use a game that you start prior to this event so long as you finish it within this time frame. You can list your favorite entry starting now (I'll track the two requirements separately) but be sure to post it by the deadline. You must post on this forum when you complete your game. If you do not explicitly state that you have completed your game, I can't guarantee it will be counted as I am not checking profiles for completion until you mention it here. Eggs do not count as "Chickens". Have to draw the line somewhere. I will, however, allow games that have the word "Chicken"/"Chickens" in the trophy name even if there's not a physical chicken in the game. Any game that you have yet to Platinum is eligible for entry. Games that lack a platinum are also eligible so long as you complete 100% of the base game. Games where you have already gotten the platinum or 100% of the base base game but still have DLC left are not eligible. A winner will be chosen by a randomized drawing within a few days after the contest closes, with all those who completed both requirements being included in the drawing. The PSN codes will be for approximately $20 USD value based on your region. Check CDKeys, PCGameSupply and PlayAsia for your region as those are the sites that will be used to procure the codes. Alternatively, you can choose to receive a lifetime PSNP membership or gift membership to another user. Your PSNP account has to be older than this topic, meaning you joined on/before April 7, 2019. No cheaters. Game Suggestions Here's a list of games that I'm aware of that have chickens in them. If it's on this list, you do not need to justify your pick as I'm either personally familiar with the game or have already had the chicken reference explained by another site member: Spoiler Assassin's Creed: Odyssey Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag Conan Exile Crash Bandicoot: Warped Crysis Danganronpa 1-2 Reload Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc Day of the Tentacle Remastered Donut County Far Cry 3 Far Cry Primal Fat Princess Fat Princess Adventures Final Fantasy (any of the ones that have chocobos in them... as chocobos are just big chickens IMO) Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas Guacamelee! Super Turbo Championship Edition Harvest Moon: A Wonderful Life Harvest Moon: Save the Homeland Hatoful Boyfriend Hitman: Blood Money Kingdom Hearts II Little Dragon's Cafe Metal Gear Solid: The Phantom Pain Minecraft Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch Night in the Woods Odin Sphere Leifthrasir Overcooked Ratchet & Clank Rayman Legends Red Dead Redemption Red Dead Redemption 2 Resident Evil 4 Resident Evil 5 Rise of the Tomb Raider Rocketbirds 2: Evolution Rogue Legacy Sam and Max Beyond Time and Space, Episodes 3-5 Shaq Fu: A Legend Reborn Skyrim Sleeping Dogs Slime Rancher Sly Cooper 3 Sly Cooper 4 Sorcery Saga: Curse of the Great Curry God (though I don't actually recommend this one at all) Spyro the Dragon Spyro 2: Ripto's Rage Spyro 3: Year of the Dragon Stardew Valley Tales of Graces Tales of Xillia Tales of Xillia 2 The Bard's Tale: Remastered and Resnarkled Tomb Raider Ultimate Chicken Horse Unholy Heights Zero Escape: The Nonary Games Participants List and Status Here is a list of participants for my reference. If the item is in red, it means that you've mentioned your game but haven't completed it yet. You can change your intended game at any time, and it is not required to list one... though it may be a good idea for everyone to throw out any ideas they have for others who can't think of a chicken game!

Aecesaje_ Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 (edited) Requirement 1: I want to enter, sign me up with Hitman: Blood Money. There's a mission that you can dress as a chicken and your targets are dressed as chickens too. The chicken reference I'm talking about is the Bird Custome in "The Murder of Crows" but most people know it as Chicken Costume and I believe it was named like that in Hitman: Absolution Requirement 2: My favourite entry? There isn't anything I personanlly like this year but I will go with Portugal. The music doesn't make sense at all and will probably get last place but I just find funny how people are still trying to find a meaning to the lycris Edit: This isn't the final post, once I platinum the game I will post it here so I can enter the giveaway Edited April 10, 2019 by maiathewinners Forgot Requirement 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beyondthegrave07 Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 What if I am metaphorically being a chicken, like running away from a crazed killer in Dead by Daylight? Does that fullfil requirement #1? ? I'll have to come back to this anyways because I won't finish the game in a month! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eigen-space Posted April 11, 2019 Author Share Posted April 11, 2019 I've added a list of pre-approved chicken games to the main post for anyone that can't think of one. However, a lot of them are lengthier JRPGs as that's the genre I'm most familiar with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dennish8stennis Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 Requirement 1: Far Cry Primal has huntable chickens in it, so that will be the game I am platting Proof there are chickens: (image not mine) Requirement 2: My favorite Eurovision 2019 entry has to be France! I've always loved the language and how it sounds, the song's mix of both English and French blends really nicely, and the message of the song is good Thank you for hosting this competition, I'll update when I finish the plat 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
butteryknees Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 Requirement 1- Far Cry 3 has chickens you can kill in it. Requirement 2- Not from Europe and don’t really follow Eurovision, so my choice here is kinda random, but i’m going to have to go with Russia.

AffectatiousDonk Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 (edited) Requirement 1 - Kingdom Hearts 3 - I tried to pick a game that has a decent chance I will plat. I am pretty sure there are chickens in there somewhere. If you will allow me I would like to match your prize in the spirit of Eurovision craziness. Requirement 2 - I will beg you to indulge me a little more, we are going to go through them next week while we are away on holiday, I have already put aside a bottle or two to help out in the selection.

ArtikSkarab Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 Another Eigen event, another participation from me. Game Selection: The Bard's Tale: Ramastered and Resnarkled contains both a chicken trophy and a secret chicken boss. Country Selection: I don't usually follow Eurovision, but I went through the playlist and there are some really good jams in there. Spain, Norway, Poland and Hungary were really high on my list, but my favorites are both Malta and Azerbaijan... Put me down for Azerbaijan. Unfortunately, I didn't see my country in the website you're using (Canada); maybe I just didn't search correctly? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spacey_Dweeb Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 (edited) Hey hey! I had overlooked this event. I am in. I have a few games that would qualify. For now, I think I'll plan on Tomb Raider. You can hunt chickens around enemy bases and there's even a trophy for doing so. I'll have to watch these Eurovision videos a bit before I can do requirement two. I'll post up again soon. Found my Eurovision pick. It is Joci Pápai - Az én apám - Hungary. I have always loved the simplicity of an acoustic guitar and a good voice. There were plenty of other good songs but they were too pop influenced to rise to the top for me. I listen to people covering popular songs on their acoustic guitars more than I listen to the actual artists.

Aecesaje_ Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 (edited) I'm happy to say I finally finished Hitman: Blood Money. Now I can enter the giveaway. Just for curiosity, are you going to use a generator to choose the winner? For example putting our usernames in a wheel (wheeldecide.com I think) and spin it?

eigen-space Posted April 13, 2019 Author Share Posted April 13, 2019 @maiathewinners, I'll be using a statistical software called SAS to do a random sample. It'll pick two winners from an input list (because @cjshaitan is an awesome person and has volunteered a second prize!). If you're at all interested in stats, here's info on the methods. I'd be using what they explain in example 34.4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willreaper41 Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 Well I finished Spyro 2, may even have time to fit in Rocketbirds 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
W571WE Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 Sign me up. I'll go for Conan Exiles for now but may change it. For the 2nd requirement I 'll go with Russia. Btw Resident Evil 4 has chickens as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Breakingthegreen Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 I'd like to enter, I completed Donut county the other day. As for my favourite song, well since I've been at Uni I've really started appreciating the easy listening, so Denmark's Love is Forever is the one that I like the most. Also your list lacks the most intimidating chicken, Tsao from Sly Cooper 3... also there are little ones in sly 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
