Gamers set the ultimate challenge as Microsoft launches ‘The One Campaign’

11/4/2014

 
Picture
Today, Microsoft launched ‘The One Campaign’, inviting UK gamers to take part in a series of challenges designed to put their skills to the test. Five of Britain’s biggest YouTube stars have designed the challenges based on their favourite Xbox One games, and have laid down the gauntlet for gamers to submit their best clips via Upload.

Whether it’s perfecting long-range goals in FIFA 14, pulling off the quickest melee attacks in Titanfall, or racking up a huge combo of zombie kills in Dead Rising 3 – Xbox is inviting gamers to take on the best in a bid to be crowned The One, and win big prizes in the process.*

Taking part could not be easier. Gamers should pick the challenge that suits their gaming style and take their best shot, using “Xbox, Record That” to save their most impressive clip. Simply submit the clip to Upload with the corresponding tag and check back next month to see if you have been crowned ‘The One’. Visit www.xbox.com/theone for more details, including T&Cs.

The challenge criteria and judging panel are as follows:

The One at Most Creative Zombie Kills

Tag: ‘TheOneZombie’

Judge: Dan Bull

Game: Dead Rising 3

There are literally hordes of zombies in Dead Rising 3 and the list of ways to take them out are almost endless. Show Dan your most creative zombie kills!
The One at Screamers

Tag: ‘TheOneScreamer’

Judge: TWiiNSANE

Game: FIFA 14

Everybody loves a screamer and by that we mean a goal so huge and powerful that it makes your friends call you ‘Sir Screamer’ for the rest of the night. Show TWiiNSANE your best long ranged goal!
The One at Melee Maniac

Tag: ‘TheOneMelee’

Judge: JayEx23

Game: Titanfall

Sometimes there isn’t a better feeling than sneaking up behind an enemy pilot, gracefully pressing the right thumb stick down and cancelling his burn card with a grab of his helmet or a kick to the face. Impress JayEx23 by showing him your best melee!
The One at Extinction

Tag: ‘TheOneExtinction’

Judge: MrDalekJD

Game: Call of Duty: Ghosts

If blasting Cryptids in Call of Duty: Ghosts Extinction is your kind of game, then brush up on your skills and show MrDalekJD your most creative, deadly or just out right hilarious Extinction gameplay!
The One at Sniping

Tag: ‘TheOneSniping’

Judge: Vikkstar123

Game: Call of Duty: Ghosts

Are you deadly with a sniper rifle from any distance? Master of the no scope? Hold your breath and show the King of CoD, Vikkstar123!
Gamers have until 11.59PM, Friday 2nd May 2014, to submit their Upload clips, with more challenges and YouTube stars to be announced soon.

GET DRAWN INTO AN ISSUE OF MATT KINDT’S BREAKOUT HIT SERIES, MIND MGMT!

12/8/2013

 
Picture
MILWAUKIE, OR, AUGUST 12—The recent release of MIND MGMT #13 kicked off an all-new arc of this critically acclaimed series, currently in its second year at Dark Horse. To celebrate, Dark Horse and series creator Matt Kindt are offering fans a very special opportunity.

By simply Liking the official MIND MGMT Facebook page, you will be entered into a drawing to, well, “enter a drawing.” That’s right: One lucky fan will actually be drawn into the seventeenth issue of the ongoing series! If you are one of the readers who were ahead of the curve on this and have already liked this page, you are already eligible!

MIND MGMT follows a young journalist who stumbles onto a much bigger story than she bargained for while investigating a bizarre case of memory loss on a commercial flight. Her ensuing journey involves weaponized psychics, hypnotic advertising, talking dolphins, and seemingly immortal pursuers, as she attempts to find the flight’s missing passenger, the man who was MIND MGMT’s greatest success—and its most devastating failure. But in a world where people can rewrite reality itself, can she trust anything she sees?

BC Community Night Reports; Battlefield 3 03/08/13

First of all a big thank you to everyone who participated and made the second night an even bigger success than we expected. With a full server for the night until the wee small hours the games were tough and competitive (thanks to some balancing from AK).

The vanilla maps seem to be giving those who are premium members a chance to go back to basics while allowing the newcomers access to some great levels of play. The Ranking up that was in evidence was great to see and with all those unlocks newer players were becoming more competitive by the minute.

In the AK challenge we have a new top three all from the @bandofbroz. All their details will be added to our new scoreboard to be released later this week once we have all their Raptr cards in. 

We would like to give a special mention and say a big thanks to @Darkshinobi and @GunnyGoon who have both generously said if they win the AK challenge to donate the prize to the Extra Life Charity. Its things like this that show the best side of the gaming community.

Anyway we will see you on the 17th of August at 8pm until then keep PTFOing like the best of them.

The Tags that matter.
Roll up Roll up, gather round!!

So as you guys may be aware I am hosting BF3 community nights every other Saturday. We all get on and PTFO! I will flicker between teams and play with both sides. Getting involved and playing the good game.

Some of you may have heard on twitter and the BandofBrotherz website that there is a little competition running also. How cool is that? you lucky so and so’s !

The competition.

There are 6 Community nights between our first official one on the 3rd of August and  the release of Battlefield 4.
Every other Saturday I will be playing on our Backwards Compatible server. If on that night you manage to take my tags then you must tweet me and Backwards compatible with your PSN. This will then be verified by myself and IF you have tweeted me and Backwards compatible your name will go onto a leader board, you must fight to be number one and being number one means you must have the most of my tags, 1 tag taken = 1 point. At the end if you are the player with the most points will receive a PSN voucher to the value of £50.

Rules!

-          The tags you can claim are ONLY  siCK_AK  psn dogtags, not Paul’s or Jon’s. (as 1000 JPRE tags are too easy)
-          You must tweet me and Backwards compatible with your PSN. If this does not happen then it is invalid!
-          No disrespect or generally being a tool. Treat others with respect at ALL times.
-          Play the Objective! Opportunities to take my tags arise quite often you guys just have to stop shooting me instead

So what I expect from you guys.
-          Play with respect, we are a community.
-          Have fun!

What you can expect from me?
-          Regular players will get their tags taken
-          You’re bound to improve some way or another!

So guys get on, get involved and make sure you have fun. Make sure you watch our social network feeds Twitter, Facebook &  G+ as well as the News section for dates but you may as well mark every other Saturday from the 3rd of August as a Backwards Compatible BF3 Community night!!

  • Do you think you have the ability to blend into your surroundings and go unnoticed?
  • Do you look at Joel, Snake and other so called stealth characters and laugh?
Well if you think you have what it takes then Stealth Inc and Curve Studios are giving the best operative the chance to win his handsome bounty of prizes;
  • A PlayStation Vita
  • A copy of Stealth Inc 
  • A Stealth Inc Shirt
So get your entries in by following the rules below.
If you live in Europe, and you have a camera, that (prize winner) could be you. All we want is for you to take a picture of yourself, a friend or a loved one being stealthy. What does that mean? You decide. Hide behind a tree, put a lampshade on your head and stand in a room filled with lamps.

The only rules? You need to be in the photo (It’s not Stealth if you CHEAT) and it needs to be an original photo, although you can use Photoshop to ‘improve’ it anyway you like. You should be happy for us to post the picture here on the blog.

Take your photo and send it to us by the 23rd of July, and we’ll announce a lucky winner on the European release day – 24th July.
