[quote] Majesco staging $1 million Advent Rising contest First 500,000 buyers of the upcoming sci-fi game can enter a multimillion-dollar Easter egg hunt on Xbox Live starting June 9. Up-and-coming publisher Majesco today announced that it will offer numerous prizes to the first 500,000 people who purchase its upcoming Xbox action adventure game, Advent Rising. The contest is entitled "Race to Save Humanity," and the top prize is $1 million. According to Majesco, the first half-million copies of Advent Rising will be specially marked and will include a free two-month subscription to Xbox Live. Starting on June 9, players who sign onto Xbox Live with Advent Rising will receive a patch that plants a hidden "A" icon Easter egg somewhere within the game. When players find the icon, they will receive a code they must enter at the Advent Rising Web site using their Xbox Live gamertag. Majesco will then select winners of a series of hundreds of prizes, including Sobe paraphernalia and cash amounts ranging from $10,000 to the grand prize of $1 million. The contest will run from the week following the release of Advent Rising until August 15, and new Easter eggs will be added regularly. Also, while the "Race to Save Humanity" contest is open to Americans and Canadians, it is void in Vermont, Maryland, and Quebec province. Advent Rising has endured a lengthy development process, and its release date was pushed back last summer, though at the time, Majesco claimed the delay was due to concerns about an already-crowded marketplace. The game should arrive on the Xbox and PC at the beginning of June.

A friend of mines brought this to light: [QUOTE] [URL=http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/sportsbusiness/news/story?id=1945691]From ESPN.com[/URL] [URL=http://biz.yahoo.com/bw/041213/135991_1.html]Source[/URL] REDWOOD CITY, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 13, 2004--Electronic Arts (NASDAQ:ERTS - News) today announced exclusive licensing relationships with the National Football League and PLAYERS INC to develop, publish and distribute interactive football games. These five-year agreements -- which EA negotiated separately -- give EA the exclusive rights to the NFL teams, stadiums and players for use in its football videogames. Both agreements also include exclusive rights for console online features. Financial terms of the agreements were not disclosed. For the first time, all aspects of the interactive experience -- including console-based fantasy football features and handheld game devices -- will be fully integrated with one EA game. This also provides the opportunity for new games and for EA to access both NFL Films and the NFL Network for use in the games. "We are pleased to expand our agreement with Electronic Arts, the leading video game manufacturer and a valued NFL partner," said NFL Commissioner Paul Tagliabue. "We look forward to working with EA to continue to enhance the quality of NFL video games that our fans have enjoyed for many years." "For more than a decade, EA has produced the most authentic football product for fans of the game," said PLAYERS INC Chairman Gene Upshaw. "This exclusive relationship will maximize the value of NFL players through EA's continued commitment to bring fans closer to the game." "We are excited about the opportunity to further enhance our relationship with the NFL and PLAYERS INC," said Larry Probst, Chairman and CEO of Electronic Arts. "The five-year agreements will usher NFL fans through the console technology transition with new ideas and innovative game play experiences." Both agreements are exclusive for action simulation, arcade-style and manager games on the PC, handheld game devices and consoles -- including console online features. The agreements do not include exclusive rights to other types of games or games accessible from the Internet or wireless devices, including cellular phones. Madden NFL Football from the EA SPORTS(tm) brand has sold more than 42 million copies over the franchise's 15 year history. Madden NFL 2005, the most complete football game ever, is available for the PlayStation®2 computer entertainment system, Xbox® videogame system from Microsoft, Nintendo GameCube(tm), Game Boy® Advance, the PlayStation® console and PC.

Both games were developed by EA Tiburon, and rated "E" (Everyone) by the ESRB. The games official websites are [url]www.madden2005.com[/url] and [url]www.nflstreet2.com[/url]. [b][i](my friends comments)-->No Sony, Midway, Sega, or Microsoft Football games for the next 5 years... 1. I cant believe this. 2. I will never buy an EA SPORTS game again. 3. I cant deny, this was a great move by EA. 4. I want to call it a monopoly. 5. Thanks National Football League and PLAYERS INC, you made my day :angryfire: 6. What is ahead for madden without competition? Will the games get better (I doubt)? Will the games get worse (Just like their NASCAR game)? Will VA from ESPN give some ideas to EA (As EA wants it)? Will EA raise the price for madden? Will they get the licenses for other sports? 7. Man Oh man, I love Sega for scaring EA that much. Gotta root for the smaller companies you know. 8. If it was the other way around, would I be mad at Sega? 9. Is there a loop-hole in the Contract? 10. EA is both evil and intelligent. 11. Sega. Sony. Microsoft, and Midway all had football games in the works using the NFL license. They had already been in development for several months, and now will require massive overhauls in order to be released. This may not only delay the games, but cost the companies millions of dollars. Dont they have the right to sue the NFL for making this deal? Wow...just wow.[/b][/i] Care to sign a [URL=http://www.petitiononline.com/nfleacon/petition.html]petition?[/URL][/QUOTE] Let the rage and/or praise begin ....

July 3rd, 2004 will be the third annual Free Comic Book Day, a single day when participating comic book stores give out a selection of sample comics for free. The event is organized by Diamond Comic Distributors and involves the participation of major and minor comic book publishers alike. Among the free samples being given out this year there will be manga from Del Rey and Tokyopop. Del Rey will be giving out a 32 page sampler that includes previews of xxxHOLiC Volume 2 and Negima Volume 2. Tokyopop will be giving out their Q2 "Sneaks" a graphic novel sized preview of numerous Tokyopop titles. Tokyopop's Kristien Brada-Thompson informed us that they had provided Diamond with 50,000 copies of "Sneaks" for Free Comic Book Day. Not every manga publisher will be participating though, Viz's PR Agent, Erik Janson, informed us that Viz would not be participating in Free Comics Book Day, while Dark Horse has confirmed that, although they are providing non-manga samples, they won't be making any free manga available. So don't miss out..... :wigout:

Hmm, I start watching anime in age before I knew they was anime. In a time I didn't know a different or even cared..lol. What I used to watch may even be consider classic or anicent. Heh those Popeye cartoon use to crack me up. Mind you, no they wasn't the black and whites for I am not that old. But at my age the most adventurious anime was Transformer Generation one. I can't say exactly how old I was, only that I loved watching them. And that what got me on the road for watching anime.

I am not sure if this is a first but a Def first for me. All new Hip Hop Manga... [u]INTRODUCTION[/u] The nexus of LA vice and hip-hop life is @Large, an internet gaming cafe with a notorious recording studio upstairs. Everyone comes together in the lounges of @Large: geeks, rappers, techno-ninjas, thugs, wannabees and undercover cops. The story revolves around a group of kids known as DNA as they attempt to navigate through the trials of adolescence, gain street fame and survive the ever-present threat of the underworld. When they encounter agents of the dark power behind the recording studio, the DNA crew finds themselves fighting for their lives ... and for the very survival of their community. **This is one of the reasons I love Manga cause they bring such diversity. And goes to show me not all manga creator aren't Japanese. This is gonna be my mission to spread the word about this one. Cause like anything the more something sale the more they know there a market for it. And more will be made.** [b]CHARACTER INTRO[/b] Hennesy (Henny Baby)/Henrietta Washington Beautiful brown-skinned sista with long hair like Aaliyah, known to wear army fatigues and cutoffs with the mid-driff exposed, and old school heavy metal t-shirts.

If I had to rate WWE to it former competiton or former self. This WWE has a long way to go. The only brigth spot is the return of the Rock the other night. Truely Electric.

Matrix the sequeal looks hot. Even though Jada is in it i say Aaliyah would have been better. R.I.P Baby Girl. But this movie will set another thrend i bet.
