Free Book For Star Wars Day!

by Ron Hogan Leave a Comment

Sunday, May 4, is the holiday known as International Star Wars Day. When you’ve not only got your own day, but you’ve got a day that is celebrated internationally, you know you’ve really got something special on your hands. If you don’t love Star Wars, there’s probably something wrong with you, like you’re a dirty stinking Trekkie!

Okay, I’m not here to pick geek fights with 30somethings who live in their parents basements, I’m here to talk about Star Wars Day and specifically, some free swag for Star Wars Day. Specifically, a free downloadable copy of Star Wars Legacy of the Force: Betrayal from Deep Discount. I haven’t read the book, or any of the others in the Legacy of the Force series, but when I was in high school I read EVERY Star Wars novel I could get my hands on. College kind of ruined that, but I’m trying to get back into reading again.

To celebrate Star Wars, here’s everyone’s favorite defender of humanity, the Star Wars Kid!

Win A $50 Macy's Gift Card

by Ron Hogan 3 Comments

Another day, another giveaway from the gang over at Love Shak, Baby that I’m compelled to tell you all about. The rug give-away is still going on, so go enter that, but after you’re done, click here and go enter the give-away for $50 Macy’s Gift Cards! Seriously, all you have to do is go click on some links and leave a comment, and boom, you might have yourself an extra $50 to spend.

Isn’t the internet great? Not only are you registering to win free money, you’re also checking out a service that provides you free shipping when you order online merchandise from places like Target, Macy’s, Amazon, and Best Buy! Truly, between online shopping and free shipping, we’re entering a golden age of geekdom. All the fun of going to the mall, and none of the expense on gas, better values, and wider selection.

The only problem is shopping at home means no trip to the food court. Ah well, maybe soon they’ll figure out a way to have Amazon send you Chinese food. You can order pizza online, so I imagine that’s the next big step.

Free Photos On Tax Day

by Ron Hogan Leave a Comment

Have you filed your taxes yet? I sure hope you have. If not, you’d better hurry.

In honor of everyone’s least-favorite day, Walgreens is having a unique promotional give-away. For today only, you can get 15 free digital prints using the coupon from the Sunday circular. If you’re the type to do everything online, like I am, the magic code you need to get your free prints is the word TAXDAY. It’s limit one per household, and you have to submit the coupon with your order (though I’m not sure how they could do that if you use the online passcode, but whatever).

I’m getting some paper copies of the last photos the family took with our dear, departed canine companion, Billy, with a couple of random pictures. What might you get with your 15 free prints? Better hurry, the offer is for today only.

Win A Free Rug From Shak!

by Ron Hogan Leave a Comment

Look, you can’t just fill your house with electronics and expect things to be golden. Sure, we all love a huge TV and 13 video game systems from throughout the era of electronic home entertainment, but where are people going to hang out? How will you make them comfortable? Easy, you follow the advice of The Big Lebowski and get yourself a really nice rug to tie the room together.

Plaza Rugs has some awesome looking rugs, and since we all love free stuff, Shak Media is proud to give away a free rug to you, the lucky reader. All you have to do is head over here to the official entry thread and do the following:

* Leave a comment at the Shak In Style post saying which rug you want to win from the Jasmine Collection (a $329 value).

* Spread the word!

Even if you don’t win, don’t throw yourself off a building just yet. If you can’t live without that sweet rug (or any of these sweet rugs), then just use the code Shak10 to get a 10% discount when you check out! See? You can’t say I never did anything for you.

Make sure when you comment you tell those brown circle rug people they’re insane. That rug can’t possibly compete with the classic beauty of the black and white squares rug!

Free American Gods

by Ron Hogan 1 Comment

Back in my younger days, before we got the internet (and we were late in getting it), I was a serious reader. I’d go to the library, come out with a stack of 14 books, and be back next month for 14 more. I was a serious reading junkie, even though I wasn’t big on things like studying math or working out. I read the unabridged version of The Stand in one marathon session.

Then, I went to college. Upon entering the hallowed halls of the Academy, my love of learning was killed, and my desire to read books was smashed beneath the weight of Foucault and Derrida. I started college in 1999, and it wasn’t until I had some traveling to do that I actually picked up more than the occasional dog-eared copy of a Chuck Palahniuk or Stephen King novel before I actually tried reading a new author, and tried reading for fun once again. I’m reading the book now, actually, but I have something else to add to the list.

Harper Collins Publishers and author Neil Gaiman have gotten together and discussed things, and as an experiment, for the rest of the month (March) you can read Neil Gaiman’s American Gods for free over here. It might not be your cup of tea, but I love his graphic novels, so I figure I’d pass it along to you guys. I’ve gotten rave reviews from friends, so maybe you and I can read it together and discuss it, Shaktronics reader.

Thanks to Newscoma for the tip!

A Free Video Game? What's The Catch?

by Ron Hogan 2 Comments

The catch is the game, Left Behind: Eternal Forces, is a game based on the Left Behind book series that I’ve never read, and you have to pay $5 or so shipping, given on whether you get the direct download or the hard copy version. The first 1 million are free after shipping, so check out the deal over at Joystiq.

Left Behind is essentially the story of all the people left behind after the Biblical apocalypse, which has proven to be a wildly popular book series. That’s about all I know about it, since I was never really interested in reading the books. I know other people who have, and apparently they’re pretty good, so maybe one day I’ll get around to checking them out. But a free game? I’ll check that out all day long!

I just hope i don’t end up on any more mailing lists because of my inability to resist real-time strategy games of any sort. Have any of you played this game out there in Internet land? Did I just waste $5 because Kotaku and Wired said the game was actually good?
