Animal Crossing Contest: A guest appearance

Filed under: Fan stuff, Animal Crossing

That's right. One of the entries for our Animal Crossing contest came from Aaron Griffin--the guy in the photo! This is the hardcore fan that pulled a Bjork, shook Miyamoto's hand and was constantly displayed on the monitors of everyone that entered the contest. Aaron writes:

I've been around your site in the past, but somebody alerted me to this contest on my blog. I was flustered for a moment, then I thought "DUH! I should enter!"

Check out Aaron's amusing meta-entry by clicking here. [Animated GIF, 2.84MB] Thanks for entering and for being a good sport, Aaron.

Next up: The winner.

He's not anti-Nintendo, he's just pro-fire!
I'd dare him to set that hat on fire... Then again, he could get some $50 for it off of Ebay.
