TUAW Back-to-School Giveaway Day Five: Blue Bottle
When I was a kid at school, after recess, we'd all have to go to the same water fountain, and get in one big line to get a drink. And I would have to sit and wait there, dying of thirst, until all the kids in front of me were done with it. And you just know that kid with the zits (Kenny) probably stuck his stupid mouth right on top of that thing, because the water just barely made it out of there, and you really had to slurp it up, and then the next kid pushed you out of the way too early, and--Well, you get the idea. It was lame. Fortunately, you don't have to go through the same thing, should you win this spiffy blue Apple water bottle from today's giveaway. Fill it up at your leisure (stick it in the fridge to cool if you want-- it won't mind!), and then enjoy your very own water, on your own schedule, far away from Kenny and his stupid mouth.To enter today's giveaway leave a comment on this post. Contest entry period is 5AM-11:59PM EDT on August 17, 2007. Same rules as usual, all described on our TUAW giveaway page. Good luck!
South Park DVD set includes WoW trial
Our good friends over at Joystiq are reporting that when the 10th season DVD set of South Park drops on the 21st, a WoW trial disc will be included in the box.Kind of a weird choice, considering that the game's portrayal in the Emmy-nominated show isn't exactly flattering (or, realistic, though it does look cool). The episode is even featured on the cover, bloated acne-scarred Cartman and all.But you never know-- clearly Blizzard is looking for all kinds of ways to promote their game (I can't imagine what lengths they'll go to when the movie comes out in a few years), and maybe this, the mob of South Park DVD-buying fans, is just what they need to hit 10 million. You probably don't need a trial disc (they are available for free or cheap in many places already), but in case you want a copy of the season in which the kids save the world... of Warcraft, it's up on Amazon right now.
First ever HD South Park episode for free on Xbox Live Marketplace
This coming Tuesday is a big day for people that are both fans of South Park and Xbox 360 owners. Comedy Central is releasing the first ever high definition episode of South Park on the Xbox Live Marketplace to all members (we're assuming this means Silver and Gold) for free. That's right, everyone's favorite word -- free. It will be on Marketplace at that low, low, price of free for two weeks, and will also be available as a free HD-DVD to people buying a new Xbox 360 console or the HD-DVD add-on drive at Best Buy from March 20th through April 3rd.The episode is a couple of years old, but it is definitely a fan fave. It's 'Good Times With Weapons' from the 2004 season ... better known as the "South Park Ninjas episode. The style changes from the traditional cutout look into anime style pictured above, and it will look, er ... extra-animated in HD. Couple this with the fact that South Park's new season starts this Wednesday, and new episodes will be on XBLM each following week, the fanboys and fangirls should be fairly happy.Still, for the price, who can complain? Let's hope this trend continues. Give us some free HD Battlestar Galactica episodes already. The timing on this is pretty interesting as well ... right after the Game Developer's Conference in San Francisco. Does this mean Microsoft might be finally releasing the rumored Xbox 360 v2 with HDMI?
PSP created to defeat Satan's army
This may be old as hell, but it's just too good to pass up. In this hilarious clip from South Park, we can now solve the age-old question of why the PSP was created - to defeat Satan and his hellish minions. In a parody of Lord of the Rings, Kenny, who honed his skills slaughtering digital demons on the PSP, must single-handedly combat Satan's onslaught of heaven with the ultimate weapon - the Golden PSP. Wow, what I wouldn't give for a Golden PSP, but knowing Sony, I'd most likely have to sell my wife into slave labor just to afford one. However, it just might be worth it.
