On episode 329 of COIN-OP TV LIVE we had Chris Lena from THQ ICE talking about Dragonica Online (a free to play action mmo). When questioned about his clever looking tshirt he responded that it was NOT available to the general public. Our team at COIN-OP TV LIVE pressured their public relations firm to somehow let our fans get their hands on a free tshirt and here’s how you do it!
Dragonica Online is running a special offer called ”Side-Scroller Challenge‘ now until March 31th 2010. They want you to sample their game (which is free to download on your PC), try their challenges and then send proof that you completed everything. If you liked Dragonica Online enough and want more they’ll reward you with in-game bonus dollars but if you feel like one of their competitor games is more fun then they’ll offer you rewards for those other games. You can read all the rules and regulations here: http://go.thqice.com/sss
On COIN-OP TV LIVE episode 330 – we announced that THQ ICE would give away free collectible/limited edition tshirts (remember there’s no way to buy these) to the first 5 fans that complete the challenge and send us an email with a screen shot proof, your mailing name/address and tshirt size. How’s that for a bargin – make sure you give the challenge a whirl as there’s only a couple weeks to go! Be sure to email your proof and mailing info to us at pennyman [at] thirstyfilms.com [dot] com with the subject ‘Dragonica Challenge‘.

How can you make an opening night receptions fun, hip and cool? Just ask Ben Zhu who runs Gallery Nucleus in Alhambra, California! COIN-OP TV has supported Gallery Nucleus for the past few years, even way back in their ‘small’ location. Ben now has plenty of space to open his doors to amazing art, installations, booze, a DJ, food, an awesome shop and much more. Themed art shows are some of our favorites and this time around zombies got their due. The Zombies In Love art exhibition runs from Feb 6th to Feb 22th, 2010 – be sure to check it out!

Jon Gibson, famous for creating the‘I am 8-bit’ art exhibition and Nerdcore Calendar was a guest on COIN-OP TV LIVE episode 328 to discuss his most recent efforts in the I’m With CoCo movement. I’m With CoCo is an artist movement/rally in support of late-night talk show host Conan O’Brien with an art illustration by Mike Mitchell.
As an un-expected surprise, Mr. Gibson announced on the live show that there will indeed be an ‘I am 8-bit’ art show later in 2010 (this came about 41:00 minutes into the show). Jon also announced the re-launch of their website and more behind the scenes info on his active career.

The PlayStation Network does NOT have a ton of original video content so it was only a matter of time before they started up their own programming. Their latest original show is called ‘The Tester‘ in which 11 gamers from around the United States compete in both video game competitions and physical activities (think American Gladiators). Much like WCG’s Ultimate Gamer show – these contestants will be living together and interacting in a social environment (think Big Brother). The rules of elimination are unclear at this point but Sony has attached some celebrity names like Hal Sparks and David Jaffe to be part of the judging. The show is hosted by Meredith Molinari who appeared on The Radnerd Show episode 104 and be available exclusively on the PlayStation Network. Interesting to note is that pro-gamer Starslay3r (who was a guest on COIN-OP TV LIVE ep211) is the only gamer to compete in both Ultimate Gamer and The Tester. Winner receives a chance to be a video game tester for Sony but we’re hoping there is more at stake!
