All of us charismatic stallions here at the SplitReason lair of shits and giggles are currently sporting raging boners about the fact that we’re now in the business of taking your money as a result of your Zero Punctuation addiction. The good folks at The Escapist have decided that they wanted to sell some merchandise and we gladly obliged them. If you’ve been living under your fat uncle Bob for the last year or so and don’t know what Zero Punctuation is you should probably check it out and learn all about the best video review series on the Interweebs.

In the meantime, take a look at these stonking great t-shirts and others at the official The Escapist and Zero Punctuation store.

Here’s the deal:

1. Create a spore creature
2. Using the in-game tools, create a video of your Spore Creature.
3. Upload the video to Youtube (the in-game tools allow you to do this)
4. Submit a link to your creature by posting a comment in this post.
5. Become one of the three winners of a free SplitReason.com t-shirt

And to get you going, here’s a dude I quickly whipped up:

Alright, here’s the contest. How old school are you? let’s find out. Below you’ll see a link to a small audio clip, and we’re giving away a free t-shirt to the first person that can identify the origin of the clip.

WOW! We most certainly intended episode two of Paused to come along sooner, but as sometimes happens, the earth spun in the wrong direction for a little bit and hence only now are we firing out some more audio ramblings at joo! Paused #2 may contain…

… a lot of bitching and complaining packed tightly into a fine tuned forty three minute show. If you’re into sitting around the camp fire
and listening to uncle Brian and Sebastian call a lot of things stupid, berate Batman and take a crap on the console that is the Wii, this episode is right up your alley!

PODCAST CONTEST: Email us what you think would make the most awesome or ridiculous pop-culture mash-ups for a video game? Care Bears vs. Smurfs? Transformers vs. The Combine? Send your entries to: podcast@splitreason.com. We’ll pick two winners and each will receive a SplitReason t-shirt of their choice!
