In partnership with Penny Arcade, Ubisoft proudly presents

THE DARK MESSIAH MIGHT AND MAGICâ"ž¢ MACHINIMA CONTEST

That’s right! Gabe and Tycho have written a great story for us. Take the 3-page comic they’ve provided and finish the story with your own home-grown machinima creativity. Use the multiplayer open beta or the singleplayer demo as the basis for your video, make it funny, make it utter carnage â€" we don’t care!

Ready to get started? We've released all 3 pages, and you’re good to go from there (see below). Just submit your idea to Penny Arcade by October 31, 2006, and you could win the grand prize: a Blackside Dark Messiah Gaming PC from Vigor Gaming Computer.

Click here for Penny Arcade’s contest rules, and to view the prizes. Good luck!

Posting in all caps, especially in the title of a thread, is considered extremely rude and is against the ... Oh ****

Where is this world coming to...

Alright, alright, I'll admit it -- I was in a hurry. I just ccp'd the rest of it. It's fixed now.

So there. Never say Ubi employees don't follow their own rules.

It seems FCY is all powerful here, and also very brave.

Why wasn't he banned for two days too

Could it be because he is a moderator, pointing out the rules in a humerous way, while you were a cheeky scamp when you reported Alder and Acheval.

I'm no scamp

Theeere theeeere Justice...

Y'aint the only one

Well, we will need to think a lot to make the video well... However, I will wait to the next 2 comics... I have an idea in my mind at this moment

Can't say I think too much of this competition. It's limited to the people who are actually capable of making videos on their PC and even then it's a pretty crappy comic.

Whatever happened to the good old competitions that everyone could enter that revolved around writing a story or detailed answer?

Bring them back.

Hmm is this all? Prize hmmm okies I should make a Cryptish map anyways... So is this supposed to be a video or a comic made from screenshots or either?

Oh you might wanna tell them (mightandmagic.com so Rick?) to hide the last one unless you don't care if people see it before Monday

Uhh... I don't want to be a nail in anyones tire, here, but should page 3 be online yet, if it's not being linked to until monday?

Edit: Yeah, what Mana said

Is there any code to film in game and not get the HUD?

Well, one more comic and i will start thinking about the video

*makes his vid*

Uh, the third comic is already up. Just type a 3 in where the one or two is.
