Other M Updates and Contests

Hey look, updates! And from me of all things.

Yeah yeah, it's been forever since I personally made an update, but with everything that's been going on regarding Other M, I figured this would help MetroidMaster a bit. And speaking of Other M.... its launch is less than a week away. Woo!

I actually have something a little different for this update, though. The Returners (over at http://returnersgaming.blogspot.com/ ) are going to be hosting a 72 hour marathon for charity beginning on August 27th where they, get this, play through as many of the Metroid games as they can in 72 hours. And the gameplay will all be streamed for your enjoyment. Of course, there will be commentary and a live chatroom for discussion; certainly, getting through all the games in 72 hours will be quite a challenge. Now, since this is for a charity, they are accepting any and all donations they get. Their marathon begins in two days, so make sure to check them out on the 27th!

The second news update I have involves a contest over at AtomicGamer.com: The "Video Game Paparazzi: Samus” contest, to be specific.

Now that you're asking what that is... the contest is to photoshop beloved Samus Aran into the cover of a tabloid or gossip magazine (you know, those almost-trashy ones you see in grocery stores) and do it realistically. But that's not all!

The winner will receive a free copy of Metroid: Other M shipped right to their house on the same day it hits the store shelves! The contest link is here, and will end some time before Other M is released. If you've got photoshop skills, I'd definitely go check out the contest.

And in news of Other M, we have quite a few interesting topics going on in the Other M subforum, so make sure to visit it if you haven't already, and maybe throw a comment or two.

I think that's it for now, so I'll see you all whenever I get to do another update.
