It's been a few months since we've last had a Bitmob Game Night. If only a new multiplayer game would come out that would let the Bitmob staff and community shoot each other….
Oh wait, Halo: Reach is that game! Now that Reach is officially out, join us this Friday, Sept. 17 at 5:00 pm PST/8:00 pm EST for some stress-relieving/stress-inducing (depending on which side of the kill-death ratio you tend to fall under) fun. We might try some of the modes that Bungie recommended to us here, but chances are, with me hosting, we'll get a little bit crazy with the game types.
See below for more details on how you can join the fight, plus a screenshot/caption contest where one lucky winner will win a Halo: Reach briefcase that we'll be filling with a few random goodies…from our pile of random goodies.
(UPDATE: the screens, the captions, the winner!)
When: Friday, Sept. 17, 5:00 pm PST/8:00 pm EST for about two or three hours.
Where: Xbox Live. Join Gamertag "Bitmob Shoe" — or "B Bretterson" or "Bitmob Demian" for any overflow lobbies.
Contest: Using Halo: Reach's in-game tools, take a bunch of screenshots of Friday night's action, then post them to Bitmob along with accompanying captions anytime before Wednesday, Sept. 22. Tag your article Reach Game Night, so I can find them easily. Later, we'll compile the best and funniest ones into a front-page post and pick our one favorite to win this thing, which we'll stuff with some TBD swag:
Apologies for the non-iPhone 4 quality of this photo.
Note: As with all Bitmob Giveaways, you must be registered on this site with your full, real first and last name to qualify. For this contest, we can only ship within the continental U.S. (the briefcase ain't light, and we ain't rich!). If an out-of-towner wins this thing, we'll offer him the option to cover shipping and handling via PayPal. Otherwise, we'll pick an alternate.
See you Friday!
