Limbs And Heads Fly Free In Total War: Shogun 2′s Rating-Changing Blood Pack

While Total War: Shogun 2 does an excellent job of depicting the titanic clash between two warring factions, it’s always been missing a little something to make the experience complete: Majestic arcs of spurting crimson lifeblood, and the odd severed head. All this and more can be yours for $US1.59.

Dracula Wants Your Blood, Southern California

Dracula teaming up with the Red Cross? Can you say dream team? Encore Software is celebrating last month’s release of their PC mystery adventure game Dracula 3: The Path of the Dragon, with a Dracula Blood Drive. The event is taking place October 3rd and 4th in either different locations throughout Los Angeles and Orange Counties, with donors being entered in a drawing to win a copy of the game and various other prizes. While many of you have never heard of the game, to quote an imaginary out-of-touch 80′s marketing executive, “Giving blood is rad, dudes!” “The American Red Cross does so much to help people in need and we are thrilled to be able to bring more attention to the importance of blood donation through our Dracula Blood Drive,” said Cal Morrell, president of Encore. “We look forward to a successful blood drive and hope people who have never donated blood take this opportunity to make a difference.”

Hit the jump for a list of participating locations, and remember…they take your human juices from you on-site. Showing up with your own blood-filled bags is considered very bad form indeed.
