Strange eBay auction -- buy a spot in a game, maybe
Ever wanted to be in a video game and beat the crap out of Buddha, Jesus, Thor, or some other religious figure? Well... you can't, but you can get front row tickets! An interesting auction on eBay is for the upcoming title Battle of the Gods, not yet announced for any particular system, but considering any and all. It's basically a sacrilegious (to some) brawler where you can play as a multitude of dieties. As the auction states, "this game WILL make history, be a part of it!" Why not? It's only over $3000 right now.
Your pretty penny nets you a t-shirt, a 3-d model of you animated by the production staff, a commemorative plaque, first dibs on playing the finished product, first viewable thing in a chosen level (most likely cheering on the mayhem), and two copies of the game signed by the whole staff, with you added to the cover. Truly, it sounds like bunk. The game isn't popping up on Google and if it's not on Google, where is it? Hopefully it's real. Probably not. Still, it's an interesting marketing quirk. If you want to check out the auction and see what goes down, feel free. It's funny, if nothing else. Think it's for real?
