About Dracula: The Official Stoker Family Edition

Dracula: The Official Stoker Family Edition, recently crowned App of the Week in the App® Store, is so revolutionary that it is the only eBook edition of Dracula to be endorsed by the descendants of Bram Stoker himself. From lighting up pages with 3D lanterns, to unsealing the mysteries of letters and journal entries, blowing the leaves off of tombstones to reveal the writing beneath, and even to using their own “blood” to reveal hidden text on a page, readers interact with both the text and the stunning graphics to bring the classic novel to life page after enthralling page. Careful readers with a taste for treasure hunting can also uncover rare historical images, as well as audio and film from the earliest days of the Dracula legacy, cleverly hidden within the book.

Contest Rules:

To be eligible you must become a fan of the PadWorx Digital Media Facebook page by clicking the ‘Like’ button on the page before 11:59pm PST on October 31, 2010. Winners will be randomly chosen by PadWorx Digital Media and notified via Facebook message on November 1, 2010. Pre-existing fans of the Facebook page are also eligible. PadWorx employees and their family members are not eligible. Dracula: The Official Stoker Family Edition codes will be sent to winners electronically. The Apple iPad will ship to the grand prize winner free of charge in North America. If the grand prize winner resides in any other county he/she will be responsible for shipping cost.

Nippon Ichi America Wants YOU To Replace Etna's Panties...

Normally, I'd say that header would be a "No wait, that didn't come out right..." statement, but yes indeedy-do, it's true. Nippon Ichi Software America is holding a contest where you design a pair of panties for Etna, everyone's favorite evil (but cute) demoness from the Disgaea and Prinny series.

The panties in question are part of a genius promotion for Prinny 2: Dawn of Operation Panties, Dood! (a game I absolutely WANT based on the title alone). I'd guess I'm ineligible, being a member of the gaming press and all, but I'd definitely love to be a fly on the wall with a pair of binoculars at NISA's offices when those entries start rolling in. My spider-sense says that the rejection pile is going to be fairly large (but fun to judge, that's for sure), given the imagination of certain types of anime/manga/game fans.

Anyway, go poke around on the official contest site, enter if you've got the skills and hope you win BIG. The main prizes for the three big winners are a copy of Prinny 2 and a pair of the winning panties. 50 other lucky entrants who can or can't draw a lick (er, no pun intended!) can enter the contest and end up will their own pair of those panties (but no game). Yeah, this could be one of the more interesting game-related contests in recent memory, that's for damn sure...
