  • Busting Your Brains

    Last year's Brain Bust trivia challenge was a big success among the members of the community. Many U.S. members who have never participated in tournaments before finally gave it a try for the first time. We have decided to bring back Brain Bust this year and it is going to be centered around a game series that many of you either love or hate.

    For the past few weeks we've been in the process of gathering hundreds of questions and answers for the latest challenge that will shoot your socks off (picture that for a few seconds; no, seriously). With the anticipated release of Grand Theft Auto IV, BestBuy has pulled together with us for Brain Bust II! Registration goes live this Wednesday, April 16th at 4pm PT.

    Eligibility requirements include a U.S. resident, 18 years or older and a Total Access subscription. The top two players will receive a trip to San Francisco to complete in a live Tournament TV broadcast. The champion will receive a $1,000 Best Buy gift card.

    To get prepared, the only suggestion I can make is to start digging around for the Grand Theft series on GameSpot. We'll post more tips on the Brain Bust II challenge page as soon as they become available.

    The god Mitra has gone missing and the prayers of Hyboria go unanswered! Our friends over at AoCWiki have put together a nifty scavenger hunt. Follow the clues on the Age of Conan wiki to find Mitra. After finishing the clues, players will be picked randomly. The prizes bundle includes beta keys or a 3 month pre-paid game card.

    Further details can be found on the official contest page on AoCWiki.

    Peasants beware! Funcom has delivered 15,000 PC beta keys to GameSpot for their upcoming MMORPG, Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures. These beta keys will be unleashed upon the globe on April 16. By signing up today, you may be able to secure a code to grant you access to the pillaging, plundering, and bloodletting sure to be unveiled on April 18. All characters created during the April 18-20 weekend will be transformed into level-20 harbingers of destruction. While a jewel-encrusted horn may not be the catalyst for the monstrous change, you can bet one out of the 12 classes in the game will bring your inner Dagoth to life.

    Hey you! Yes, you! You play games, right? Online games? Perfect! Because as you know, we run a little program here called the GameSpot Community Game Night. (Example of tonight's Smash Bros Game Night here .) If you've never joined in on the fun, this is your chance to play online against both GameSpot users and staff. What we'd like to know is this: what games would you like to play against others online? What games on the horizon look fun? We'd love to hear your suggestions for future game nights if you feel there are any hidden gems we may have over looked.

    And yes, we'll definitely be doing a GTA IV game night when that one comes out. 16 players causing random havoc in a full-scale GTA world? Yes please!

  • Welcome. Would you like to play a game?

    Thanks for stopping by the Community Blog. We decided to name it Spam Filter for the time being. This is designed to be a source of unfettered GameSpot communication between us and any member of the forum looking for answers or information about what is going on around the site, in the forums, and even in the GameSpot offices.

    Tomorrow night (Tuesday) is our regular Community Game Night. If you would like more details, go here.

    Check back soon for more updates!
