We’re running another donation drive! For the next hour (until 3:55ish) if you donate $8.12 or a multiple thereof you’ll be entered for a chance to win the Dead Rising 3 Prize Pack! We’ve also thrown in an incredibly delicious pig sweetener: a zombie-themed set of chocolates from Cakes Cove! So donate away!
There is a winner of the Jund ‘Em Art contest: L Vb! Congratulations, L. We got a ton of really excellent entries so you should check them out under the jump!
Thanks for all your hard work, you guys!
There are some truly impressive silent auctions ending in about an hour and fifteen minutes. Here’s a brief rundown!
There are so many incredible things in this pack, you just have to go and see its full contents for yourself. Needless to say it’s a must-have item for any Magic fan!
It’s Studio Ghibli adorableness! Just look at it!
Pay tribute to the lovable cat who made your childhood amazing with this minimalist painting. It’s a worthy way to enjoy Calvin and Hobbes even as an adult.
So go donate now!
This is the most amazing donation drive and it has all of us here at the Lunar Module wiping drool from the corners of our mouths. Here’s the deal: for the next 40 minutes, until 1am, donate multiples of $8.88 for a chance to win a motorized skyhook replica that is signed by Troy Baker and Courtnee Draper—the voices of Booker DeWitt and Elizabeth!
This is an incredible giveaway that you won’t want to miss.
Alex has declared an art challenge! The prize is this gorgeous Just Jund ‘Em cross stitch by Kate Thompson. This is a truly impressive piece of art that any Jund fan will be happy to display in their Magic parlour.
So you want this Just Jund ‘Em Cross Stitch! What do?
Alex wants to see your illustrations of any of the Jund staple cards or characters from the Jund Shard of Alara in MtG. As long as they’re black, red, or green, they’re up for your artistic interpretations! Jund staple cards include (but are not limited to) things like Lightning Bolt, Dark Confidant, and Bloodbraid Elf; so get on Gatherer and start sketching away!
But don’t jump into MS Paint just yet! You’ve got lots of time; this art challenge will be open until 1:30am, about two hours from now, so go for quality over quantity and impress our Steacy overlord.
If you’re just joining us, you missed quite a shift!
We auctioned off the exquisite Blue Spirit Mask for a tidy sum of $8,000 to madtheorist!
We played the Newlywed Game… and Graham & Kathleen were the winners*! Way to go you two lovebirds! (*Title disputed)
<3 <3 <3 <3
We had a birthday celebration for Ashton!
Then we played a diabolical game of bluffing and deceit, as six DB volunteers attempted to convince the viewers that they had the free passes to PAX! Look at those biceps! Someone’s been working out!
Heads up, it’s auction time again!
But you already knew that, didn’t you?
Some people are blessed with the gift — strange mental powers which allow them to see places others cannot. One such individual is Raz, from beloved title Psychonauts! In less than 5 minutes, we will be auctioning off this amazing 8″ hand-crafted and -painted Raz figurine!
Make sure you’re in the chat so you can bid on this very cool item because you sure won’t find it anywhere else!

Are you feeling lucky? Think you’re a good judge of character? Well Ash has created an insidious challenge to test your powers of intuition!
A few minutes ago, Ash distributed six envelopes to six DB volunteers. TWO of those envelopes contain those incredible passes that will get you into a PAX event of your choice (Prime, East, Australia, or South)!
The volunteers made their case for why they thought they had the winning envelopes — but here’s the catch: they didn’t know either! At the end of Ash’s shift, we’re going to open up the envelopes and see who had the goods all along, but until then, you can get in on the action!
Ash’s shift ends at 10pm, so get your donations in before then to indicate who you think has got the prize!
