I have just posted some threads to kick off the January Movie Jam: Discussion & Info, Story Submissions and Team Submissions.

Writers have the next two weeks to submit their short stories for the writing portion of the event. Production Teams will be assigned with stories on Friday, January 28th, at which point they will have 48 hours to bring those stories to life. The results will be potentially ridiculous but that is what makes it fun!

GO GO GO

To celebrate over 2 million players on the Castle Crashers XBLA leaderboards, the Behemoth is holding a Tournament of Champions where the winner receives a 24k gold plated Xbox 360! Second place wins a Castle Crashers-themed Elite Xbox 360, while third will be awarded with 250 squeezy chickens.

More Info About the Tournament Dates, Rules and Prizes

Big thanks to Kotaku, Destructoid, Joystiq and The Escapist for covering the event!

We also just announced that Super Soviet Missile Mastar (from Alien Hominid) is coming to the iPhone/iPad!

Nice to see Movie jams and the Behemoth contest, but game jam winners pl0x? Do you and Ed have an assigned day those will be announced or will it just be when the chance arrives? :3

OH GOD, I want 250 chickens more than anything else in the world right now o___O

cool, i think the 250 chickens is the best prize in the pool. ive wanted to bathe in a tubful of squeezy chickens.

Sucks there is no tourney for the PS3 version. :(

Sorry we have a GUEST JUDGE so he's working on his list.

Oh whoops he emailed me he his list this morning... I'll post the Game Jam winners... Friday?

what no love for the android?

Those are some seriously awesome prizes. I'd better start working on my Castle Crashers skills if I'm going to get anywhere near the top 100.

I'd prefer third place.

Luis decided to fulfill his wildest dreams and is now pouring them all into a bathtub.

They'll be back in stock in an hour or two.

Two things in relation to the CC tournament:

ONE: Dan realizes that there are an abundance of hackers on there, right? So essentially, the contest is not "who is the best player on XBL?" but rather "Who can mod the shit out of this game better and make the rest of the combatants ragequit?"

TWO: What would I do with an abundance of squeezy chickens? One or two seems plenty, but I can not dream of what to do with 250 of the squishy birdy fuckers.

Really 250 squeezy chickens??, is an amazing prize!

With so many 255 leveled characters...how is the contest gonna be fair?

...weeee!

Why is everyone "OMG"ing about the birds?....Although it is tempting to bathe with 250 foam chickens....*moan*...
But anyways, what about the 24k xbox? That sounds pretty effing badass.

How else to show how manly you are is to have the best console out there, GOLD PLATED?
And for die-hard CC fans, the second prize sounds like a dream.

I cannot enter any contest due to xbox - Red ring, and my artistic skills SERIOUSLY need work as I've said many times before.

there must be a way to make sure who is a hacker and who's not. Tom you should probably ask microsoft about that

Damn, I wish I was better at castle crashers.

btw, the squishy chickens is the best prize

I somehow read the title as "Castle Crashers the Movie" whilst skimming over the page.

Ohhhh, I don't have a X360 neither a PS3. Too bad, I wanted to play this game. That's why I wanna a XBOOOOX!

And, i'd be just awe-awe-awe-awe-awesome to have a g-g-g-g-g-g-golden Xbox. wow.

Also, can't wait to see Game Jam's winners, every year there's something coooooler.

In after Lois. (Ha, Lois saw my request)
