The SECRET WORLD TT RPG Kickstarter passes 100K. ALMOST AS IF THERE’S AN EXISTING INTEREST IN THE IP, @FUNCOM…

FunCom is calling the The MEGAversary Warped Songs Contest!

This contest will ask for submissions from you, the [Secret Worlds Legends] community, to take a popular song and warp it into something… wonderful! Or something funny and perhaps even hilarious! Take a well know song and subvert the lyrics to fit SWL and it’s theme, it could be anything… from “The Sounds of Violence”, to “Filth Bomb” or “Filth Pools in Kaidan”. It’s for YOU to come up with something that fits the overall melody and structure of a song and just WARP the Be-Gaiazeus out of it!

First Look: Mutant Year Zero: Road to Eden

This might annoy me, except that FunCom’s only publishing Mutant Year Zero: Road to Eden.
