Borderlands Handsome Jack Loot Contest: Butt Stallion Not Included

…and neither is that free machine that Handsome Jack promised to give to the citizens of Opportunity. That said, what 2K Games is offering in its Borderlands Handsome Jack Loot Contest is still pretty sweet and it could all be yours for free. Speaking of which, the goodies include a sofa set, a life-size loot chest and a Claptrap mini-fridge. All you need to do is make a video showing why you deserve to win.

The couch and two chairs are all decked in gold and have silhouettes of some of the game’s guns. You’ll also get four couch cushions printed with the Vault logo. The loot chest opens up to reveal a sizable storage area as well as golden Handsome Jack and Psycho masks. The life-size Claptrap figure opens up top to reveal its fridge compartment. Finally, you’ll get an Xbox One and four controllers. All in all, the giveaway is worth about $23,000 (USD).

I love how the 2K guy says “Hey kiddos” even though his games are rated M. But why are you still reading this? Get that camera and go pimp yourself for some gaudy man child gear! You have until 5/4/2015 to submit. Head to Borderlands‘ website for the rules and instructions.

Outcast Odyssey x DeviantArt Semi-Finalists: Scale, Steel, Steam, Smoke and Sorcery

Bandai Namco and DeviantArt’s Outcast Odyssey card art contest appears to be a great succcess. It’s now down to 25 semi-finalists, three of which will win the grand prize. Needless to say all of the top 25 are great, but I thought I’d share my favorites among the lot. First up are these three dragons.

This is Say Tchiiiiz !!!! by Dogan Oztel. If I have to pick just one to win the contest this would be it. It just grabs your attention and is both funny and fearsome.

This is Ancient Dragon by Huy Mai Van, who says it could be an animal, a plant or both. Its wings are so huge they can wrap around a mountain, and instead of breathing fire it can blast out a “destruction can[n]on” from its halo. Damn.

deviant_art_outcast_odyssey_2zoom in

This is the great GYPAETUS – The Bearded Dragon by Fabio Listrani. I like to think of him as both a gigantic dragon and a sorcerer.

deviant_art_outcast_odyssey_3zoom in

This is Robert Kim’s The Pirate King. He’s a pirate, he’s a king, he’s got a top hat and he’s got gears for teeth. Sir, You Are Being Plundered.

deviant_art_outcast_odyssey_4zoom in

This is the beautiful Vampire Witch by Andrey Vasilchenko. At first glance it seems like a clichéd RPG or fantasy art, but it’s just so well done and Andrey’s little touches drew me in. Phantom bat!

deviant_art_outcast_odyssey_5zoom in

Last but not least is Eduardo Garcia’s South Witch. I’ll let Ed blow your mind here: “The collar around her neck magically separates the head [from the] body, preventing her from using most of her magic.”  Woah.

Those are my picks! I bet at least one of them will receive the grand prize. Be sure to check out the other semi-finalists on DeviantArt.
