PAX 2008 - Precipice Of Darkness Character Costume Contest: Dress Up And Win!; Posted 3 months, 1 weeks ago by Nikkita

The Penny Arcade Expo (aka PAX) is just around the bend, and we couldn't be more excited! If you plan on attending PAX this year (along with myself and some fellow Gamervisioneers) then you have the chance to win big. In celebration of the '08 release of Penny Arcade Adventures: On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness, Episode One, Hotheads Games will be holding a themed costume contest. Simply dress up as your favorite character from the game and head on over to their booth (#1114) to enter to win a grand prize of $3,000 HP store credit to custom-build your own HP Blackbird gaming rig, "Precipice of Darkness" edition". Also, the first three costumed attendees to arrive to the booth each of the three days of PAX will be awarded with a Collector's Edition of the game.

• Receiving one of the daily prizes does not exclude an attendee from entering for the HP Blackbird grand prize; however, only one daily prize per participant.

• One Hothead Games staff member at the booth will be designated to handle all entrants (take pictures, control entry forms, verify costumes). S/he will be dressed in 1920s regalia to be easily identified in the crowd.

• The HP Blackbird case customization includes the game logo, the in-game Gabe and Tycho characters and other visual effects to make it the "Precipice of Darkness" edition.

• Entrants will be judged by a selected team of Hothead employees on originality and style of costume, quality of material, and accuracy of representation relative to the video game “Penny Arcade Adventures: On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness, Episode One.”

• The winner will be announced at the Hothead PAX Booth at 5pm PT on Sunday, August 31; attendees do not need to be present to win. Open to residents of US and Canada only.

• Selected costumes will be displayed in the forums for community viewing
