Grow a mustache, become a character in Red Dead Redemption

magnumpi

Rockstar and the Movember Foundation are asking you to grow a mustache. Seriously. Like you need an excuse.

The purpose of Movember is to raise awareness for prostate cancer, and while the foundation wants you to grow one to show your support for finding a cure for it and other cancers, Rockstar says the best mustachioed male will end up as a character in Red Dead Redemption.

The contest kicks off tomorrow, and if you are willing to grow your very own lip caterpillar, go sign up on the Movember Foundation page, and on Rockstar’s contest site (links above).

Only catch is you must be clean shaven to begin with, even if you have a nice horseshoe, Sam Elliott or Freddie Mercury going on.

LittleBigPlanet contest: pimp your pod, win a crown

contest-sml

Media Molecule’s giving away a real crown to whomever has the most happening pod in LittleBigPlanet. Just brainstorm a theme, apply it to your pod and Sackboy, and — boom — you’ve got a hat you wouldn’t be caught dead wearing in public. At least, not if you’re hip, fly, and stylin’ enough to win this contest, you wouldn’t.

Check out the LittleBigPlanet forums, if you’re interested. We’re working on a theme composed entirely of links to the VG247 Twitter feed, and maybe Pat’s too. Set phasers from stun to shill.
