B-2 Bomber Made From Ace Combat Stuff

Brian Ashcraft — Tue, 15 Apr 2008 07:00:03 MDT

And our contest continues! Today, since we're short on plane costumes, we bring you this B-2 "Spirit" bomber from reader Stephen, who writes:

So I know I don't score many points in the effort category here, but hopefully I make it up in the creativity and fan devotion categories :)
The idea is that it's a top down view of a B-2 "Spirit" bomber. Since it's a little esoteric I've attached a picture of a real B-2 for reference that maybe you can include with it.

Hit the jump for comparison fun fun.

Contest runs until this Friday. For those not hip to what's going on, let me bring you up to speed: Dress up as an airplane or make a three dimensional airplane out of anything tangible, but paper. So you can't make CGI planes! And you can't draw them either! But, you can make them out of anything else as long as it's not paper. Rocks, clay, toothpicks, whatever! And remember, that means make and not build a plastic plane model you bought in the store. Send entries to kotakucontestATgmailDOTcom by this Friday at midnight PST and, like all contests, don't forget to add a "Kotaku" sign. Remember, we're giving away two copies of Ace Comabt 6 and INTERNET FAME. One copy for the best plane cosplay, the other for the best crafted plane.

Use "Hell", Win Hellgate

Brian Ashcraft — Thu, 29 Nov 2007 07:00:34 MST

Anyone with a calculator know this trick: Type in 7734. Turn it upside down and get the word HELL. Quick contest! We're giving away a copy of Hellgate: London. Here's the contest: Make the word "HELL" out of something — anything, but just don't write it. Take a picture of it and send it to kotakucontestATkotakuDOTcom. Deadline for this is next Wednesday, December 5th. Remember: You're not just playing for a copy of Hellgate: London but the proverbial INTERNET FAME. Good luck!

Locked out of Kotaku Tower! Oh noes!! We couldn't find out keys all week, leaving us to find shelter under a canopy of trees, blogging with mud and sticks. The horror. Good thing our Sponsors had an extra key. For that, we thank them! This week, Kotaku Tower was unlocked by EA Mobile, Fox Soccer Channel, Old Spice, PlayStation and Verizon. Next week, we are so having spares made.

The sun's setting on another week of hiking. Our backpacks are digging into our shoulders, and we want to rest. Take a sip of water. Relax. But we can't and gotta keep moving, keep going. Good thing we've got our Sponsors here to help carry our load and tie our hiking boots. Without them, we'd be screwed. This week, the Kotaku gaming trek was brought to you by Blackberry Pearl, Casio, EA Mobile, Fox Soccer Channel, Old Spice, PlayStation and Verizon. For that, we thank them!

Don't Forget! Go To Tokyo!

Brian Ashcraft — Fri, 16 Feb 2007 23:00:45 MST

We want you to go to Tokyo. We really, really do! So, we don't want you to forget about our AMAZING CONTEST. To bring everyone up to speed, we've got a contest that will run through the end of March. We're going to run three (count 'em) trivia questions over this period in the form of sponsored polls. These questions are brought to Kotaku-land by Old Spice thank-you-very-much. To one reader who gets all three questions right, we'll give you tickets to the Tokyo Game Show in September and round trip airfare for two to Tokyo! In case you missed them, here are Question #1, Question #2 and Question #3. See ya in Tokyo, winner person! Brian Ashcraft

Homemade cookies taste the best. This morning, we woke up bright and early and starting rolling out the dough. Chocolate chips? Sure! We stirred and mixed all day to bake up a big ol' batch. Good thing our Sponsors remembered to get milk at the supermarket. (Because beer and cookies so don't mix!) For that, we thank them! This week, Kotaku cookie crumbled thanks to Blackberry Pearl, Casio, Fox Soccer Channel, Old Spice, PlayStation, VW GTI and Verizon.

Sponsor Pulls Out Of Slamdance

Brian Crecente — Wed, 10 Jan 2007 10:56:26 MST

USC's Tracy Fullerton addresses the snowballing controversy surrounding Slamdance's decisioon to drop Super Columbine Massacre RPG from their list of finalists and announced that the USC Interactive Media Division will no longer be sponsoring the event.

In light of the recent decision by the festival organizer Peter Baxter to pull Super Columbine Massacre RPG from the line-up of finalists, we no longer feel that the contest represents the best interests of independent game makers; rather, the decision undermines the credibility of the festival as a venue for independent games and invalidates the reasons that USC Interactive Media had been proud to sponsor this year's student prize.

Check out her lengthy, and thought-out reasoning for withdrawing support of the wavering game fest. Brian Crecente

The sun's beating down, and the Captain is screaming at us again. "Swing the lead, mateys!" Our backs are killing us and our hands rubbed raw, but we continue on. We've found our treasure, and we've all been promised seven gold coins each. There's no way we would've discovered it, our Captain says, if we didn't have that map our Sponsors passed along. This week's treasure hunt was made possible by Maxell, Toyota Yaris and Kensington Books Books. We've spotted land in the distance, and the smell of salt burns our noses.
