| Geek Month Begins! - Comic Book & Manga Release Day | |
| Posted by JT_ on May 01, 2013 1:30 pm | |
| WELCOME TO GEEK MONTH! This month is one of the most fun on P3. :) We spend the whole month on everything and anything "geeky". What does that mean? And why it is awesome to be a geek/nerd? This past weekend, Wil Wheaton (you might know him from Star Trek: TNG, or from his newest show Tabletop, etc) created a video message to a fan's daughter about why it's awesome to be a nerd. You can watch the video here. His main message is: It's not about what you love, it's about how you love it. Find the things that you love, and love them the most that you can. And don't let anyone ever tell you that you can't love those things. Geek Month on P3 is about celebrating all those geeky things you love, whether it's science fiction, fantasy, Dr. Who, Star Trek, Star Wars, Game of Thrones, food and cooking, reading and books, science and astronomy and board games and animation and... you could keep going on and on! :) *************************************************************** Every weekday we will have a geeky release for you guys, and it will be announced here in the news, maybe with a little mysterious description to see if you can find it. ;) Some days will have some VERY special releases.... so be sure to check in daily so you don't miss anything! Wednesday is Comic Book & Manga Release Day. We have some fun new stories for you today, so head over to Buy the Book to check them out! IMPORTANT NOTE: Comics and Manga remain in the Buy the Book shop until the beginning of Geek Month the next year. This means that last year's comics and manga are retiring TODAY! Grab them while you can, because they will be gone after 11:59 PM Puma Time tonight. EDIT: We also have a re-released item today, the Cyborg Monocle. Find it in the Boutique! *************************************************************** VOGON POETRY CONTEST! (curated by our snarfboogerest brenne!) Geek Month should be celebrated by music, dancing (preferably the Mamushka), gifting...and yes...poetry. VOGON poetry. So, all you creative writing hacks out there, let's see how lowwww you can goooo. The Grand Prize is a Sapphire orb and a kitten from any of Brenne’s custom pumas...your choice, outfitted with background and towel. First prize is an emerald orb and a gen2 kitten from any of Brenne’s custom pumas, outfitted with a background and a towel. Second prize is 2 TE and a gen2 kitten of your choice from any of Brenne’s custom pumas, outfitted with a towel. Third prize is 1 TE and a gen2 kitten of your choice from any of Brenne’s custom pumas outfitted with a towel. Honorable Mention prize is a Premium Token, plus a gen 2 kitten of your choice, from any of Brenne’s custom pumas outfitted with a towel. All participants will receive a high gen puma from Brenne’s pride as well, also sporting a towel. So get writing, and then get in the cue. You may *snort, wince* Submit as many poems as you wish. Please, if you are going to use a poem that is so bad it doesn't need to be 'improved' vogon style, do not enter it as your submission, but just as a not so shining example of what bad poetry can do in the hands of the irresponsible. The contest shall continue to the end of the month...so liquefy your brain and let it ooze out your ears into prose or verse. As a public service, I shall post on the thread some previous winners and give you an example of what vogon poetry is supposed to be. |
