Hey everyone,
It’s Deb Mars here, and I’m back on the blog to announce that we’re having a give away. Oh yeah, that’s right…a give away. It’s about time we put some PixelJunk in your trunk.
As many of you know, we recently released PixelJunk Monsters Encore and just last week we put out the official PixelJunk Monsters Soundtrack on PSN. We hope you’re all enjoying the new levels and the awesome music. In case you missed out, be sure to go to the PlayStation Store and pick it up, and also be sure check out a very cool interview between Q-Games and Otograph here on the blog.
OK so here’s the deal: We’ve seen a large number of comments about fans playing PixelJunk Monsters and Encore in co-op mode with their wives/husbands, girlfriends/boyfriends, partners, non-gamer friends, you name it. Personally, I’d love to see Dylan Cuthbert, president of Q-Games, be able to sit down and play with the Queen of England, but I don’t see that happening anytime soon.
Anyway, it seems that we’re not the only ones feeling the PixelJunk love, and it’s clearly bringing people together and making relationships stronger. Or maybe not. Who knows? Maybe you’re getting pissed off at each other for not getting that last rainbow? Or maybe you’re actually able to smile at the glory of finding common ground again with that special someone as you dance on those trees, collect those coins, save your flock and clear all those levels.
Either way, we want to know. Tell us your story about playing PixelJunk Monsters co-op. We’ll be sharing the best in a future PixelJunk post. Oh, and if you’ve got any pics of you and your special someone playing PJM together, send those in too. We’d love to see them! The senders (to pixeljunkcouples@gmail.com) of the first five qualifying PixelJunk Monster tales that we receive (under 250 words, please!) will get two (2) amazingly cool t-shirts – one for each of you. Wear them with pride!
Now for the gratuitous legal disclaimer: To enter, you must send in your qualifying story no later then June 11 , 2008 at 11:59 PM (PST). Limit one entry per person and valid e-mail address for the duration of the promotion. Contest is only open to U.S. residents ages 13 or older who meet the terms set forth above. The senders of the first five qualifying applications that we receive will win (2) t-shirts each. Prize fulfillment is at Sponsor’s discretion and based on availability.
Still spreading the PixelJunk Love,
Deb
Send in my fiancee’s & my story. Hope you like it :) PixelJunk Monsters really does help us spend some quality time together in the evening… after not seeing one another for 8+ hours a day. It helps me fuel my gaming addition and fuel OUR love addition =)
Love this game I have the encore and love playing it. I play it more then any of my $60 games.
Also has everyone seen the 2.4 firmware update on this site? http://www.maxconsole.net/?mode=news&newsid=28071
It shows the trophy and in-game xmb with videos.
No! I hate free stuff! I demand a price tag and outrageous fees! XD
Expect to hear some complaining that it’s only open to US residents. Personally, I don’t have a very interesting tale to tell here- my brother and I play from time to time. No more special than when my brother and dad and I play Hot Shots Golf: OoB together, or Resistance with my dad. Really, it’s the PS3 that’s brought us together. Kudos to the makers, and a personal kudos from me to the fine people behind the PixelJunk series. (Got every single thing you’ve released on PSN. :D )
Deb,
I had my story all ready to type, with my dad currently playing PJ Monsters RIGHT NOW behind me….when I saw the contest was only open to US residents. PJ Monsters has fans in Canada (and I’m sure all over the world!) too and it would be nice to see some swag hit our borders one day.
Those shirts are awesome and I know my Dad would love to wear one while ‘protecting the tribe’!
Truth be told, this game has brought me and my dad much closer together and at a time when thigns are so busy in our lives, its a sanctuary to retreat to Toki Island for a little tower fun. Thanks for all the fun and community support!
I’ve been doing a lot of thinking about PixelJunk Monsters lately. Been doing a lot of thinking about Yogurt lately too. I like to eat yogurt while I play. Not those dinky little single-serving type Yogurts you see packaged in groups of 6 at the local grocery outlet. Nope. I’m talking about the industrial size pails that you can order direct from the producer.
You see, the way I figure it, if eating yogurt is healthy, then eating LOTS of yogurt is even more healthy. And I’m on a serious health kick lately.
I’ve sworn off all sorts of things: television, 24-hr surveillance cameras, the internet, even bowling.
All the negative factors in my life.
I’ve sworn ON a whole bunch of stuff too…like dating hot lines, jogging, PixelJunk Monsters, and, well, yogurt.
At present, I can eat about six gallons of yogurt a day…and I do. Every day without exception.
I’m convinced that I should be eating more though. I’m just not sure how to force any more down.
Here’s the deal: I’ve been having these really awkward conversations lately.
“Awkward?”
I’m not sure that’s the right word.
I’ll be sitting on the couch playing PixelJunk, when someone else comes into the room and strikes up a conversation.
We’ll get to talking and then all of a sudden my mouth will fill up with yogurt…and the stuff will come spewing out of my mouth despite my best efforts to choke it all back down. People usually stumble backwards when they see this, but I yell at them: “It’s just yogurt. It’s just yogurt!”
All the yelling thwarts my efforts at stemming the flow of the yogurt though, so things usually take an even worse turn at that point.
But I find that the more yogurt I eat, the quicker I can get through levels in PJM, so obviously I can’t quit eating it.
It’s a frickin’ catch-22.
Clearly I need to eat MORE yogurt. But my body seems to be insisting that I eat LESS.
Any thoughts?
Please see a doctor. I am very, very scared.
