Target Exclusive: Benny the Puppy!
- We've got a brand new exclusive item for people who buy Gaia Cash cards at Target stores, and the cuteness of the thing cannot be overstated!
You can pick up Benny the Puppy now at your local Target. Head over to the music section (for some reason), pick up any $25 Gaia Cash card with Benny's adorable visage plastered all over it and redeem it for a whole bunch of Cash and a bonus puppy!
It takes a while for cards to trickle into every retail store, so be sure to call your local Target first to see if they have 'em. The new cards should be in most Target locations within the next few days.
Now in Wal-Marts from Omak to Woonsocket!
- By popular demand, we've been working on getting our Gaia Cash cards into more store locations. In the future, we hope that no Gaian has to walk more than ten feet without tripping over a huge stack of Cash cards (and then buying them all with the money they win from the resulting injury lawsuit).
We've made some exciting progress: Gaia Cash cards will soon be available in Wal-Mart stores. We'd love to tell you that you can just waltz into your local Wal-Mart behemoth-box and grab a Gaia card from the colorful display nestled between the Big Mouth Bass plaques and the $20 DVD players made of recycled medical waste, but no!
To test the waters, Wal-Mart is only putting Gaia cards in 26 of their stores. Since they have 3,800 stores in the USA, that means that Gaia Cash cards will be available in something like 0.7% of all Wal-Mart stores, so you statistically have better chances of being punched in the face by a silverback gorilla than finding one in your town (note: statistic not accurate).
They sent us a list of all the towns that will receive Gaia cards, and we're pretty sure that some of these places don't even exist. Is Wal-Mart just messing with our heads? Is there really such a place as Moraine, Ohio? Has anyone ever heard of Omak, Washington?
Here's where you come in: we've set up a thread with a list of all the Wal-Mart locations that will stock Gaia Cash cards, and we want to see if any Gaians actually live there. Are you a Cranstonite or a Woonsocketian? Take photos! Show us proof! Small-town Gaians, now is your chance to shine!
Calling All Game Designers!
- Hey, here's something cool: Flash game network Mochi is having a big huge game-design contest, and Gaia's head honcho Lanzer is one of the judges! We'd love to see some Gaian game developers enter their best work and grab a share of the $25,000 in prize loot. If you've got serious talent (and we know you do), check out their official contest page:
If you love games but don't know how to make them, there's still some fun in store for you. Once the finalists are decided this April, Gaia members will get to play all the games, vote for their favorites and judge the Audience Prize!
