You Must Think First, Before You Move

Protect Ya Neck! Hip-Hop Weekend is coming to Chessmaster Live!

Make every weekend
Make every weekend "Hip-Hop Weekend" with Chessmaster Live.
So, after recording the podcast (which will be up later today), I sat back down at my desk and prepared to dig into some more Dark Sector. Upon getting my 360 dashboard on, I was greeted with a new contest that I was not prepared to handle at all.

Yes, that's right, it's the CHESSMASTER LIVE: HIP-HOP WEEKEND. There's a free gamer picture, which I was hoping would just be a bishop wearing fat gold ropes, but alas, it's the logo of the Hip-Hop Chess Federation, which apparently actually exists. As expected, their website features a photo of the RZA holding a wrestling-style championship belt.

Seeing the amazing dashboard graphic left me totally incredulous, and I immediately grabbed a camera to snap off a few shots, just to make sure it was really happening and so I could prove I saw it when people started calling me crazy. I was all prepared to get all snide about it, but between seeing the picture of RZA with that belt and seeing that they're doing it for the youth, I think I'm going to not just run off at the mouth like a total ass.

What other games do you think would benefit from a Hip-Hop Weekend? Aside from free Method Man skins for TiQal, obviously.
