To celebrate the release of Quantum Break tomorrow, we're giving away two XBOX One codes for the game, courtesy of XBOX.
As we have two codes, we're splitting them into two competitions. The first [this one] starts right now, and will end tomorrow, so the winner will have the opportunity to play the game on launch day. It also gives you little bit more time to do something creative!
If creative's not your thing, there will be a giveaway starting tomorrow, with the winner selected randomly from all entries. Those that enter today's competition will automatically also be entered into tomorrow's competition, so no need to enter twice!

Quantum Break is a sci-fi / action game, developed by Remedy Entertainment and published by Microsoft Studios.
In the game, you play as Jack Joyce, who obtains time powers in the wake of a failed science experiment at Riverport University. The experiment also leads to serious consequences, fracturing time itself and bringing about its end. Your mission is to prevent that from happening. The title blends gameplay with a live action show (produced by Lifeboat Productions), with a transition called "Junction Moments" where you play as the game's antagonist, Paul Serene and chose which future comes to pass.

How to Enter:
If you've been following The Sudden Stop for a while, you may have notice that every now and again we post a terrible Photoshopped images of Quantum Break. Most involve cats. (Personally, my favourite photograph to use is of Mr Hatch and Serene monitoring the d12 of Science, it's just perfect for photo manipulation.)
To have a chance of winning a copy of Quantum Break for the XBOX One, I want to see your terrible Photoshops. They don't have to be perfectly incorporated, we're looking for more like Sharknado photo editing here. You could have an entry which incorporates a meme or silly hats or a random time travelling llama.

Note: Obviously please keep entries BBC primetime appropriate.
Second Note: Owning Photoshop isn't a requirement, any photo editing software will do including Microsoft Paint or Paint.NET.
