Contest: Win a Copy of G.I. Joe: Rise of Cobra

What's the Missing Half?

by Gamervision

This weekend the much-hyped G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra finally hits movie theaters worldwide. If you grew up in the late 80s or early 90s, chances are you were a fan of the cartoon. And you probably remember that at the end of every episode, there was a lesson taught to little kids by one of the Joes. Not like quantum physics lessons or Eastern philosophy; lessons more along the lines of "don't talk to strangers" or "stay away from fallen power lines". No matter what the lesson was, every single segment ended with the kid saying "Now I know!" to which the Joe would reply, "And knowing is half the battle!" And it got us wondering: what exactly is the other half of the battle?

But we couldn't come up with a good answer to that question, so we've decided to turn it over to all of you, and we're making a contest about it. Here's what to do:

Leave a comment on this article letting us know what you think the other half of the battle is. We'll accept any kind of entry you want. Write a paragraph, make a video, photoshop an image - it's all good. And yes, we've all seen the awesome t-shirt design, so save the blue laser/red laser jokes. The top two submissions will score themselves a copy of G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra for either the Xbox 360 or Nintendo DS.

The contest will run until noon (eastern) on Monday, August 10th. YO JOE! And make sure you check out the full review of Rise of Cobra.

    Knowing is half the battle...unless your Joe Biden...because then knowing is the entire battle and let me tell you, its uphill.

    49% Skillz 1% Luck. I'd make a fancy shmancy image but the review justifies me not doing it.

    Knowing is half the battle, pretending to know is the other.
