We’ve got some NZXT gaming gear to giveaway, but we want to ensure that it goes to a gamer and not some chump that will flip the stuff on Ebay. So we’re actually asking you to do something this time around rather than just leaving something in the comments. It should be easy for a gamer though. All you have to do is spray a logo in a game and send us a screenshot.
Prizes:

All the details, including the files you’ll need, are after the jump.
Instructions:
This .TGA file should work in most Valve games like Counter Strike: Source and Team Fortress 2 along with a bunch of other games. Here is also a .JPG file for other games too. If you can’t get either of these to work, or your game requires a different format, feel free to create your own along the same lines as ours. This is a good tutorial.
To import the custom spray in Valve games, head to the Multiplayer tab in the Options menu. You should be able to figure it out. We’re not going to turn the comment section into a help forum, so please use your Google skills if you can’t get it.
Rules:
All we are asking is that you send us a screenshot of the spray in use. Either leave it in the comments below or send it to Contest at CrunchGear dot Com. We’ll pick a winner at random from all eligible entries on July 3, 2009. The winner must have a US shipping address too.
Tips:
Most games bind the F5 key to the screenshot command. You can of course Google this.
Also, you can upload your photo to Flickr, Photobucket, or Picasa Web Albums and then drop the link in here. Make sure the pic is only 620 pixels wide if you’re going to paste it into our comments.
I tried and I think I suck more at this then most people can fathom.
Check out the tips I just added.

Maybe I’m a huge moron… but where exactly do I send the screenshot TO? Should I link the image in a comment?
it is in english near the bottom of the story
where it says rules …
i have yet to figure out how to post a image in the comments though :(
Yeah, I guess I was confused with the “leave it in the comments below” part. I’ll just attach an image link when I get home and have time to do this :)
Check out the tips.
“Either leave it in the comments below or send it to Contest at CrunchGear dot Com.”
A link will be fine.
For those that can’t read it directly, it’s using an tag used in HTML.

I got a little before and after action going with a witch in Left 4 Dead. Luckily Francis was more than willing to sacrifice himself for the cause.

Unfortunately the logo blends in with the grey wall a bit too well but- god look at that gorgeous mouse!

For my next mission, I think I’ll make it look like a video game.

hey! what if the games you play dont accept this custom spray? i play about 6 games, 2 of which my clans are sponsored by game hosting sites. I really need some new gear, but don’t have a game that will accept this.
Thanks!
Luke
Play one that does.
Burned!
(OK, I have to ask. As someone that has a similar last name to my own, do you ever get various jokes related to it? I’m wondering if I’m alone in this, or if I just need to find better friends :)
I love my axetinguisher!
Well that link didn’t work, how about just a direct link:
