Massively's massive giveaways - CoX, redux
We remember the first time we landed in City of Heroes, sometime back in 2004. After years of haunting our respective local comic book stores and following our favorite comic book characters, the time had come... We were going to get a chance to create and play our own superheroes! Of course, most of us then spent the next five hours playing with character customization options. Best. Mini-game. Ever.But to get back to the point -- for this giveaway, we're offering a 60-day CoX gamecard or a very cool CoX banner for two lucky random winners who answer the following question. Who was the comic book hero that inspired you when you were younger? Do you still have one that is your favorite? Tell us in the comments by 6:00 PM EDT tomorrow, and you could walk away with some NCsoft goodies! I keep thinking I'll jump in game and create Official Rules Man, with a battle cry of "18 and up, US residents only!" but that's probably right out. I mean, what kind of powerset would that guy have? Sleep?
Massively's massive giveaways: Good vs. Evil edition
For today's round of giveaways, we're focusing on NCsoft's City of Heroes and City of Villains. While we already have two 60-day game card giveaways in progress (and more to come -- check our giveaway page for the latest giveaways), this giveaway is focused for the poor individuals in the audience who have not yet had a chance to enjoy playing CoH or CoV. We have two copies of the Good Versus Evil Edition, which includes both CoH and CoV in one convenient package, donated by NCsoft, which we're passing on to you! To win, you have to be a US resident of age 18 or older and leave us a comment between now and 4:00 PM EST tomorrow, November 6th, telling us what type of hero or villain you'd create if you won this copy of the game. (Please check our full official rules before entering.) That said... what are you waiting for? Tell us all about your hero or villain to be!
Massively's massive giveaways: Day 4 - City of Giveaways!
Today is the day we feature those two NCsoft titles many of us have come to know and love; City of Heroes and City of Villains. We love our spandexed heroes and armored villains, so this hour we're featuring something that we know many of you will love. Our first choice winner will get a 60-day game card for CoX, and our second prize winner will get the combined CoX art (flip!) book, perfect for making your coffee table reflect your love of gaming and art -- for whatever side you happen to call home.All you need to do is to tell us in comments below, your favorite heroic or villainous superpower! It can be any type of power, really. Just leave a comment with that between now and tomorrow at 2:00 PM EDT (remember, the clocks changed!) and you're entered to win. Of course, we have to remind you that there are official rules involved, otherwise the Rikti will beam down and vaporize the lot of us, and that would make our editors sad.So tell us -- what's your favorite superpower? Prizes await!

WoW giveaways, the finale: Win a Murloc suit!
Yes, we held this closely guarded secret deep, deep inside. The underground bunker was kept airtight; no leaks escaped. We kept it secret; we kept it safe... oops, wrong IP!

Massively's massive giveaways day 2: World of Warcraft

24 hours of Tabula Rasa: Hour 24
Here we are, a full 24 hours since we started this crazy round of Tabula Rasa giveaways, and it occurs to us that we haven't really touched on the PvP aspects of TR too much. Now we can't speak for you all, but there's something about facing a superhuman whos-a-chargin-his-lazor that just sends a cold chill up our spine. Sure, the guy in the picture above has a great big gun and some pretty heavy armor, but it looks to us like he's about to become laser flambe. What's worse, it looks like he knows he's about to be burnt to a crisp. Luckily for you, we have no lasers -- we just have swag! So for this, our final round of the Massively Tabula Rasa giveaways, we're handing out one final TR hat and one final poster to two lucky commenters. (18 & up, US residents only, official rules, blahblah) Now this doesn't mean the fun is over -- far from it. As we mentioned in our post yesterday, we have two full weeks worth of goodies to give away! So even if you didn't win something in this round of giveaways, be sure to pop back and check us out. You may pick up some really cool game swag from any number of games.With that, we'd like to say a huge thanks to NCsoft for showering us with lots of birthday swag and this cool grand prize (you still have an hour to register for that one too) to give out to all of you, and you for making this the massive first day of our launch party. Good luck!
24 hours of Tabula Rasa: Hour 23
So here we are, hour 23 of our swagapolooza in honor of the release of NCsoft's Tabula Rasa and of course, the launch of Massively! As the comments have continued on this evening, many of you have been admitting you're on the verge of falling asleep at the keys. I applaud you for hanging in here as long as you have!That said, the question is now this: have enough fallen into the soft, warm arms of sleep? Or are you one of the ones who (like me) armed yourself with high-octane caffeine and are staying up until the very end? Will there be very few comments and thus a better chance of picking up this hour's prize -- your very own copy of the Tabula Rasa game or a fantastic poster? Or will the (18-and-up US only, official rules following) morning crew getting ready for work pounce on the comments and make off with the goodies?Only time will tell.Well, okay... time, and our random number generator. Those will tell.
24 hours of Tabula Rasa: Hour 22
As logos go, we have to admit, this one is pretty darn cool. Now the above image comes from the Limited Collector's Edition of Tabula Rasa, but we thought it looked fierce enough to deserve its own spot at the top. We have to admit, one of the things we think most interesting about this incarnation of the logo is the presence of a skull with a stylized triskele on its forehead. For those of you not familiar, the triskelion is a Celtic symbol believed to stand for the sun, the afterlife, and reincarnation. When coupled with the skull and the wings, it certainly makes you wonder what other little asides like this General British has added into this game, and more properly, what is it he's trying to convey? There again, that could just be all the super-strong coffee we've had. For those of you who like stuff with cool symbols on it, this hour's giveaway is another of those exceedingly sweet Tabula Rasa hats. The second prize is from the pile of posters we got. Of course, you know the rest if you've been with us this long -- must be 18, live in the US, but I'll spare you the rest and point you at the official rules if you feel like torturing yourself with legalese. And hey, if you're just waking up and joining us, be sure to comment on the iPod giveaway thread! That giveaway is going on until 8:00 AM Eastern. Just don't enter twice or we'll have to send scary winged triskele skull guy up there after you. Really.
24 hours of Tabula Rasa: Hour 21
You've made it this far, and we applaud your limitless energy and reserves of caffeine. That said, there's only 3 more prize packages to give away. To reward your patience in hanging with us this long, we're picking two people this hour to win one of two really great Tabula Rasa prizes -- either your very own brand-spankin-new copy of Tabula Rasa with which you can gleefully rub all your friends faces in how you got yours free from your friends here, or you can show them the awesome TR poster that you won, which they can't even get.So if you're in the US, leave a comment anytime in the next hour (that's before 5:00 AM Eastern) and you're automagically entered into the contest. Simple, no? And this time, everyone can get their very own printable version of the official rules to keep as their very own.On your mark... get set... comment!
24 hours of Tabula Rasa: Hour 20
And we're back! Got a fresh pot of coffee going, and I'm all settled in to see you all through to morning with massive amounts of giveaways and swaggy goodness. (is "swaggy" a word? Ah well. Is now!) While flipping through some of the screens I have for Tabula Rasa, as well as screens we got during the beta, I couldn't help but stop on this one. Why? Because there's nothing more fun late at night than a good spooky ghost story. Of course, you're not here to hear those, so I'll give you a good spooky ghost screenshot instead!For this hour's swagstravaganza, we're giving away a hat and a poster, both with much love from Massively and NCsoft to you. So, if you're in the US and still awake enough to coherently type in a comment below, get to commenting! For those of you who need something to put you to sleep because you've gotta be up for work in a couple of hours, may I recommend the official rules? (Remember, you have until 4:00 AM Eastern to leave a comment!)Or hey, you could tell me a good ghost story!
24 hours of Tabula Rasa: Hour 19
We admit it. Many of us were lucky enough to score our way into the Tabula Rasa beta. While, as Mike said, there may not be headshots, there are lasers and aliens and all manner of cool things to see. It's an expansive, beautifully rendered world that really blows you away when you step out into it. But rather than ramble on with our observations about the game, how about this: this hour we're giving you a chance to win your very own copy of Tabula Rasa so you can see it for yourself!That's right -- the prizes for this hour are a copy of Tabula Rasa and another of those really sweet posters that they hooked us up with. As before, all you have to do is get to commenting below, and we'll pick two lucky people to get some free stuff if you're in by 3:00 AM Eastern. (sorry, US residents only, official rules here.)Good luck!
24 hours of Tabula Rasa: Hour 18
Well, it's 1:00 AM here on the East Coast in the US and you know what that means! No, it's not time to go to sleep, silly -- it's time for the next in our 24 hours of Tabula Rasa giveaways! This hour we're giving away a spiffy Tabula Rasa hat, and a nifty poster given to us by the powers-that-be at NCsoft. As with all the other contests, this one is nice and easy to get into. No messy screencaps, no "here's what I did on my TR vacation" or any of that. That's right! For the price of one measly comment, you can win a stylin' TR hat or a killer poster and be the envy of your gaming friends. You just can't beat free swag!Oh, and hey, just in case you're joining the party late, don't forget that you can still comment on the first giveaway to enter for a chance to win an iPod. That way you've got your tunes with you when you're out blowing things into the next life in TR. Sweet deal, no?
