1 v 100 was a game show that aired on NBC in 2007 and 2008 that was hosted by Bob Saget. The show featured a contestant (the 1) competing against "The Mob" (the 100) in a series of multiple choice trivia questions. If the 1 outlasted the 100, they would walk away with $1,000,000. The show aired it's last episode on February 22, 2008 and was canceled that November.
That was a problem for Microsoft, as a few months earlier they had announced that an Xbox Live Arcade version of 1 vs 100 would is in the works.
Well, after a few delays, and with 1 vs 100 still canceled, Microsoft is finally ready to release the XBLA version. And best of all, it will be free for Xbox Live Gold members.
The game will allow players to compete as part of the 100 person mob with a Live host every time. Real life prizes will also be given out to the best players and to those that compete the most. Sure beats Achievements (but it'll likely have those too). Source: Gamingtarget
Greetings, citizens of the Enclave, welcome to the Scroll of Keys and Courage. It’s time to start putting your abilities to the test, whether you prefer hunting Menaces, dueling other players or ‘resolving issues’ with members of another High House!
House Maul has opened the Arena for organized matches. Players will be able to sign up in Hawksmouth or the Quarterstone Arena District. Skirmish matches are open to anyone at any time; House Maul will make sure the fairest setup of gladiators will be placed opposite of each other*. For the gladiators seeking to prove themselves, they’ll be able to register a team. The team can enter the 2v2-League, 4v4-League or both! Points will be awarded on a weekly basis, based on the teams’ position, which can be used to purchase unique Arena rewards. The Arena statistics and team window can be invoked via a new button in the Menu bar.
Also, unusual activity has been uncovered in the basement of the Palace in the Quarterstone Palace District. Scouting adventurers have reported sightings of a Treasure Chest, but a rather unusual one. Due to its surroundings it’s been dubbed the Demon Chest, but why it’s there and what it contains is still a mystery. It is yet to be opened as it requires three unique keys nobody in the Enclave has yet found. The locks indicate relationships with aspects of the world, but adventurers will have to be sent out to retrieve the keys.
Be sure you know who your friends and who your enemies are. PvP lootable player items enter The Chronicles of Spellborn. Currently this is only used for the keys of Treasure Chests! All keys in a player inventory will be looted by the player who is responsible for the killing blow! Be careful where you bring your keys and try not to attract too much attention when you carry them around.
Accompanying these great big features is a slew of Skill fixes, Quest fixes, Quest additions and feature additions. The Tales From The Vale carry on while /me and /roll have been added to improve interaction and well-balanced decision making.
To close this news, we also gladly present you the new exclusive wallpaper to illustrate the patch 1.0.4 Scroll of Keys and Courage!

Holy crap! Telltale's Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People game series can now be ordered on DVD for the first time. Pre-orders for the Strong Bad Collector's DVD opened today at http://www.telltalegames.com with the DVD expected to ship in June.
Like Telltale's Sam & Max games, the episodic Strong Bad series was originally delivered online via digital distribution. The new Collector's DVD is the equivalent of a TV series' "box set," complete with region-free video extras for the diehard Strong Bad fan.
Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People features Strong Bad—the loudmouthed, wrestling-masked star of the ongoing Strong Bad Emails shorts at Homestarrunner.com—in a series of five games akin to interactive cartoons. The data portion of this hybrid DVD contains all five episodes playable on PC, as well as an MP3 soundtrack sampler and desktop wallpapers. The video portion includes game trailers, the complete "Behind the Bad" documentary series showing how Strong Bad himself collaborated with Telltale on the game, footage from Telltale's "Make a Scene with Strong Bad" panel at last year's Penny Arcade Expo, cartoon shorts, and a barrage of hidden surprises.
Telltale is extending special offers to customers as the pre-order period begins, including bundles of Strong Bad merchandise and free shipping for orders over $25 through May 3. The DVD is available for just the cost of shipping to customers who have already purchased the full Strong Bad season from Telltale, and at the limited-time discounted price of $19.95 for customers who have bought at least one Strong Bad episode. The regular price for new customers is $34.95. While supplies last, Collector's DVD customers will also receive a free commemorative Strong Bad pin.
Each episode in Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People has a unique plot dreamed up by series creators Mike and Matt Chapman and the creative team behind Telltale's acclaimed Sam & Max games. From a grassroots uprising against the gluttonous King of Town to a high-stakes heavy metal showdown to a face-off with the fire-breathing, peasant-burning dragon known as Trogdor, Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People takes players on a crazy trip through the amusing and creative landscape of Free Country, USA.
Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People has been lauded by fans and press alike, receiving Editor's Choice awards from IGN and GameZone and recognition in IGN's Best of 2008 round-up.
