I won me a contest!

I'm a member over on Gamertag.com, an Xbox-centric website dedicated to 360 gaming.  They recently had a contest, wherein the winner would receive 1,600 Microsoft points (the 'currency' used in their online shop to buy downloadable games, pics, etc.).  IIRC, that's about $25 in value; there's talk that there may be another small prize alongside it.

The contest was "Be the Voice of Sam Fisher".  Fisher's the main character (an NSA agent that works for a 'shadow operations' group called Third Echelon) in the Splinter Cell titles, a series known for its 'stealth-action' gameplay.  Michael Ironsides has voiced him since the beginning, but rumors suggest that the next installment will be utilizing a new voiceactor (which is sad, because I just can't see Fisher sounding any other way).

Anyways, the contest basically entailed saying a few lines, recording them, and sending the recording into the website.  Just got the PM this morning, I won!  

Yaaay!  So now I can go buy a couple XBLA games I've been eyeing!  :)

... can you embed .wav files in LJ posts? Because I have it on my hard drive at home. :)

No, but you can upload them somewhere like YouSendIt and link them here.

There's a way to make voice posts, I know...

Yeah, I think that's for paid subs, though... done through a cellphone, I think? I'm not 100% sure.
