Why Robin Makes Batman Better Competitions, we love them. You can’t hug or kiss them, but you sure can go all sexy-like on the prizes they result in. But you probably shouldn’t, because they tend to be valuable.
Alright then – who’s in the mood to win one of five Disgaea Collection DVD packs? Each is valued at $49.95, and they’re packed with Disgaea goodness… as you’d expect. Want to know more? I’ll let the Madman website do the talking:
The King of the Netherworld has died and various demons are now building their own empires in an effort to take control. However, the late King’s son has arrived and is out to reclaim his rightful place as ruler of the Netherworld! Along to help him is his vassal, Etna, with her Prinny squad, and Flonne, an angel-in-training originally sent to assassinate the king only to find that he has already died. Join our three intrepid – and somewhat eccentric – heroes as they initiate their plan to conquer the Netherworld, Heaven and Earth!
To be in the running, all you have to do is send your Disgaea-themed haikus to tipsATkotakuDOTcomDOTau with the subject line “Disgaea DVD comp”. We’ll be accepting entries until Tuesday next week. Winners will be drawn and announced on the Wednesday. Feel free to enter as many times as you like!
Even if you don’t win, the pack will be available from Madman, starting May 14.
Thanks heaps to Madman for providing us with the goods. Full terms & conditions incoming!

Comic fans might be interested to know that Madman is running a competition to send two people to Comic Con 2008 in San Diego.
All you have to do to enter is type in your specifics, including your name and email address, and then in 25 words or fewer, describe your favourite Adult Swim show and why you like it.
I’d love to go just for the Elvis Stormtroopers. Or because my name is Logan, which is the same as Wolverine’s. My dad says chicks dig that stuff, and my magic 8-ball concurs.

Comic Con Competition [Madman]
I was casually flicking through Madman’s latest DVD catalogue when I noticed the company will have the Disgaea anime available from May 14 via its online store. Yes, May is a while away, but a heads-up now is better than none at all. That’s what I’ve been told anyway.
The three-disc set will demand $49.95 from your wallet/purse/trust fund, and includes the English trailer, Japanese and music promos and “special talks”, which I’m assuming are interviews of some description. For the purists, there are Japanese and English dubs as well as English subtitles.
We’ll be sure to put together a giveaway closer to the release date, so keep an eye (or even two) out for that.

Although you’ll find it hard to believe, Novus Ordo did have an ulterior motive for attending Atomic Live 2007. Along with the cars, stands and booth babes (which we’ll get to soon), was a cosplay competition, sponsored by DVD/movie distributor Madman and hosted, in part, by Dr Karl Kruszelnicki.
With wookies, storm troopers, anime characters and even Arwen from Lord of the Rings, the comp had an extraordinarily good turnout. Voting was executed using the tried and true “Applause” method. This system culled the group to three – Kitty Nakajima, Stormtrooper Girl and the Wookie.
Each competitor received a DVD, while the three winners bagged themselves a luscious DVD pack from Madman.
