Hey, remember that awesome somewhat controversial tentacley sexy cover art that the Muramasa: The Demon Blade team made for Play magazine?

Remember how they put it on a T-shirt? Oh, you already guessed, you’re so smart: We have one of these tees, courtesy I Am 8-Bit, in the Ümloud! raffle.

It’s in men’s size S.

To make up for this, practically every other T-shirt at Ümloud will be in XL, aka Journalist Size.

Ümloud! is all about rocking like a true superstar.

And that doesn’t have to stop when the event is over.

Thanks to some very generous donations from Numark and Mad Catz, some of the best Rock Band equipment on the market today will be in the Ümloud! Raffle.

The Ion Drum Rocker looks and feels like a real drum kit. We’ve got one of these to give away. This is the big one, the $299 premium set for Xbox 360.

Courtesy Mad Catz, we have two wooden replica Fender Stratocaster premium guitars for Xbox 360. These also retail for $299 each.

And if you don’t end up winning one of those, Mad Catz has also provided two of its wireless Fender Telecaster replicas, which retail for $109.99 each.

All in all, we’re staring at a mountain of awesome right here, all up for grabs at Ümloud! 2009 this Wednesday.

What would a videogame raffle be without videogames?

Yes, we have tons of swag and T-shirts and stuff in the Ümloud! raffle, silent auction and swag tables. But we’ve also got games. The real thing.

The folks at Valve have kicked in a couple of copies of everyone’s favorite zombie shooter Left 4 Dead 2. From the office of sponsor Reverb Communications comes a whole mess of Rock Band track packs for all platforms.

And pulled from some private collections of classic games, mint complete copies of some collectible oldies, like Pinball of the Dead for Game Boy Advance and Chu Chu Rocket for Dreamcast.

Many of these will be on the Swag Table, yours in exchange for your donation of $10 or more at the door this Wednesday!

Of course, you’ll be able to win some prizes from our generous sponsors at Astro Studios.

In the raffle will be two sets of the company’s fantastic A40 Audio System headphone and MixAmp package, with an optical cable (approximate retail value $250 each).

And then there’s the Scout Backpack (ARV $80), which you can use to haul your 360 or PS3 around in style.

All this can be yours at Ümloud on Wednesday!

Remember back a couple days ago when we mentioned that something for Mega Man fans might be coming up in the Ümloud! silent auction?

That day has arrived.

Bring your checkbook, bring a pile of cash, bring shiny stones to barter because you do not want to go home without this bundle of blue joy. The Mega Man Prize Pack includes a one-of-a-kind Lego sprite sculpture of the man himself, created by a fan for last year’s Funde Razor. It got lost at the event and we weren’t able to raffle it off.

But this year, it’s beign paired with something even awesomer: The Mega Man 9 box, produced and donated by the wonderful I Am 8-Bit. This replica slash parody of a classic 8-bit game box contains an empty plastic game cartridge that unfolds to reveal an artwork CD and a download code for the game — not that you’d ever, ever want to break the shrinkwrap!

These will be yours if you are the highest bidder on the night of Ümloud!
