Blizzard has made it a holiday tradition to release a holiday card every year (usually drawn by Samwise), but this year they’re putting a little twist on it. They’re running a contest asking the potential artists among you to submit your own original Blizzard-themed holiday card. Download their template, fill it up with Diablo, Starcraft, or Warcraft-related holiday art (no Lost Vikings or Rock N’ Roll Racing art, apparently), submit it on the contest page before December 7th, and you can win a whole slew of prizes from Blizzard and Razer, including a mouse, keyboard, and headset, as well as a signed copy of Blizzard’s 2009 holiday card from Samwise himself.
So artists, get to, um, “art”-ing! We can’t wait to see your rendition of Deathwing as Santa Claus, Kerrigan as the Mrs., and a whole tribe of Fallen Ones standing in for the little elves.

So WOW.com have been doing these Creative contests to give away their shiny new World of Warcraft-branded wireless gaming headsets for a few months now. But if you haven’t won one yet, worry not: today, we’re giving away five headsets to one lucky instance-running group out there, so you can all talk to each other while you’re wiping in Heroic Old Kingdom.
To enter, you’ve got to send us a .JPG-formatted picture (no bigger than 800px please) of your favorite five-man group — you and four friends — to contests@wow.com by 5pm October 29, 2009 (that’s one week from today!). Make sure you put “Creative 5-man contest” in the email subject so WOW.com can recognize what it’s for, and while you can take it wherever and however you want to in-game (or even in real-life!), just make sure there are five people in there. Because one lucky random entry will win five Creative World of Warcraft wireless gaming headsets, one for each member of the group, at a value of $150 each, or $750 total. That’s a lot of headsets! You must also be 18 or older, and live in the United States or Canada excluding Quebec — full official rules can be found right here.
Please note: in addition to emailing us the .jpg picture, you will also need to copy and paste the form below (filled out) into your email — it was put together by our legal department and simply says that you understand and will adhere to the rules of the contest. You need to include the names and e-mail addresses of all five players in your group so that we can contact you all about prizes if you win.
Good luck to everyone who enters — we can’t wait to see what your five-man groups look like! And stay tuned, because we’ve got an even more epic contest planned out soon.

The chances to head off to BlizzCon are coming fast nowadays — Nvidia is the latest company in on the race, as they’re offering up an all expenses paid trip to Anaheim in August for the winner and a guest to experience Blizzard’s big show. To enter, they say you have to buy a qualifying Nvidia card, and then use the promo code inside the package to enter. Which might make you think, as we did, that it’s a pretty lousy deal — you have to buy a new graphics card just for a chance to win? But their official rules say “no purchase necessary,” So we did the work for you: if you want to enter without buying a card, you have to send a letter or postcard to “NVIDIA “BlizzCon 2009″ Sweepstakes – Entries by Mail (USA & Canada), NVIDIA Corporation, 2701 San Tomas Expressway, Santa Clara, CA 95050, U.S.A,” and include your full name, your email address, mailing addresses, your telephone number, and “a short paragraph (100 to 250 words), written or typed in English, stating why you like or have an interest in the ‘World of Warcraft’ game or Nvidia or its products.”
Not exactly a lot of fun, but then again, it’s cheaper than buying a new graphics card, and their rules say that mail-in entries have the same chance at winning that the coupon codes do. We’re behind you, readers — we hope you win.
And if you do make it to BlizzCon, keep an eye out for WoW.com — we’re gonna have a nice big shindig on Thursday night (location still TBA, but soon!), and we’d love for you to be there.

This morning’s EU loot card giveaway had over 1500 entries! Not bad for the hottest day of the year and midweek! I’m quite impressed and there were some pretty funny comments in there as well. A lot of people want the giant, er, male rooster.
Well we /rolled and came up with three lucky winners who will be receiving an email shortly. You might want to check out Turpster’s informative video post from this last night which walks you through how redeem loot cards as well as gratuiteous scenes of a giant chicken being ridden by a gnome. Definitely NSFW.
So, without further a do, /drumroll. The lucky winners are:
Max is the proud owner of the must-have chicken mount El Pollo Grande
Chickyhines can now bash the Ogre Pinata to his heart’s content
Maephisto has bagged the groovy Path of Cenarius
Congratulations to all and thanks once again to Tom at Upper Deck International’s UK office.

So maybe you don’t have the kind of name recall as Leeroy Jenkins, and maybe you don’t have the street cred of GotFrag TV’s Kintt or the British accent of ESL’s Joe and Zalmah — but if you think you can commentate with the best of them, Blizzard’s got the right contest for you. Blizzard is looking for the best people to do play-by-plays on Arena matches (dubbed Shoutcasting), so if you think you’ve got the chops, head over to the contest page and see what it’s all about.
If you think you’re the Dick Vitale of eSports (that’s an interesting thought), go ahead and download the stock Arena tournament video on the contest page and dub over the best color commentary you can muster. The best entry will win a Dell Ultrasharp 3007WFP-HC Monitor as well as the code for a cool BlizzCon 2008 Polar Bear mount. Runners up will receive BlizzCon shirts and the mount. Contest ends on April 17, so get a-shoutin’, just be sure to read the rules first.
