	~~The '''GameStop "Be a Star" Sweepstakes''' was a competition run by the video game retailer [[GameStop]] to promote ''~~[[Guitar Hero~~]]: World Tour'', which [[Chris]] entered around October [[2008]]. The competition required the entrants to send in a photograph of themselves in a "guitar hero pose".~~

	~~First prize was a $400~~ GameStop ~~gift certificate. Rumors also circulated that the winner would star in ''Guitar Hero: World Tour''; these proved to be incorrect.~~

	Several [[trolls]] caught sight of Chris's entry and, mistakenly believing that the person with the most votes would indeed star in the ''Guitar Hero'' game, encouraged people to vote for him by posting on [[4-cent_garbage.com\|/b/]] and [[Encyclopedia Dramatica\|ED]] in hopes that gamers everywhere would help permanently mar the hit release with Chris's fat autistic presence.

	~~Despite some disputes between trolls as well as some warnings to GameStop's management about what was transpiring, Chris went on to win the competition.~~

	In his [[Captain's Log, Stardate December 28th, 2008\|28 December 2008 update]] he thanked his fans for voting for him, and announced that the $400 gift card would be shared with the congregation of his church. Chris ended up spending a little less than half on his congregation, buying them a copy of ''[[Animal Crossing]] City Folk'' ($50), plus two copies of ''Wii Music'' ($100) with a Wii Speak accessory ($30) for a grand total of $180. The remaining $220 went to himself.<ref>[[Emily_Date_Conversation_Transcript#Chris.27s_card_game_history_.2855:24_-_59:24.29\|Emily date, 03-19-09]] "Yeah, yeah, I spent it on myself. I got some Wii games for myself, Country Music and Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess." "Uh, no, it wasn't-it wasn't like 10 or 15, I'd say it's more like, uh, five or eight."</ref>

	Although his victory is largely considered a major failure in trolling efforts, it did have the unintended side effect of [[Chris and his Ego\|reaffirming]] Chris's [[Chris and reality\|belief]] that he has [[True and Loyal Fanbase\|a huge, dedicated fanbase]]. This made trolling somewhat easier, as Chris was even more inclined to open up to his supposed legions of fans. Some trolls have used his victory in the contest as leverage to guilt him into doing things like giving interviews or drawing more [[comic]]s.
