    One Free Copy of Mafia II Contest...

    I bought a GTX 460 desktop video card and it came with both Just Cause 2 and Mafia II Steam keys. I already gave away the Just Cause 2 key, but still have Mafia II, so thought I'd give it away here. The key is unused, just needs to be activated on Steam.

    Just to make it fun, this is a little mini contest. Nothing difficult.

    Rules:

    (1) Make a guess as to what the last character is of the game key code A-Z or 0-9. The person to guess this character wins.

    (2) You have to share your *FAVORITE SCENE* from a mafia type show (i.e. The Sopranos) or movie (i.e. The Godfather Part II) or game (i.e. The Godfather) but not Mafia II obviously. Not necessarily your favorite show or movie just your favorite scene. Announce the movie publicly, but use spoiler tags for the scene if it gives away an essential part of the movie or isn't widely known.

    Spoiler tags are done like this:

    The Godmother Part XXXVII
    [spoiler]Guido dies by being buried in concrete[/spoiler]

    and should look like this when you post:

    The Godmother Part XXXVII
    Guido dies by being buried in concrete
    (3) You can guess multiple times, but there must be at least four other guesses from other people before you can guess again. You must also share another good scene from a mafia type movie, show, or game. Preferably no repeats.

    Good luck and have fun. I will announce the winner as soon as I can if there is a correct guess.

    The Departed! Damn, forgot about that movie. Love that one. There's one to watch again. +1 for reminder, but no winners yet.

    Departed-When Costello is in the movie theatre to meet with Sullivan, and then ... kinda unnecessary but hilarious

    Departed is definitely one of my favorite movies. It is also the only mafia movie I've ever seen.

    Almost 50% characters taken and still no winner. Interesting statistics. :)

    And ClydeHunter you're DQ'd unless you can read the rules. I don't wanna have to give you some concrete shoes.

    KillerBunny is the winner with the guess of number 5! Took 24 of 36 possibilities to get there, lol.

    Congrats and enjoy the game! PM sent!

    Thanks for all the input guys. Makes me really want to go back an see "The Departed" again. Watched that in theaters but never watched it since. Definitely worth a repeat.

    NP, happy to. Will do again if chance arises.

    Yeah, I agree. An immediate winner would have been like :eek: .

    I was tempted to put a four guess limit AND and minimum hour limit before another post to hopefully get more players, but I wasn't in the the mood for a long drawn out contest.
