It has been far too long since I offered a give away, almost a week!? Well my dutiful readers. . . to help promote SPIKE TV's Game Head: Call of Duty 3: Challenge which airs Friday November 10th at 12:30ET/PT on SPIKE TV, we will give away three CALL OF DUTY 3 games for the Xbox 360. Is this just another shameless shilling of a show for the sake of getting free stuff? Ok, initially yes but then I heard what the show was going to be.

The press release describes it as being shot "at a secret military base this past September, when 16 unsuspecting average-Joe gamers arrived straight from their couches and game rooms to be confronted by real-life military drill sergeant.." I still watch any daytime show that throws kids in military camps, or fatty's in boot-camp, so this was right up my alley. Then the press release got boring, bla bla bla "mental challenges" bla bla bla "obstacle course" lame lame lame... until "Challenges culminate in a sudden-death paint-ball "Deathmatch" competition." JACKPOT! As long as any of this is stylistically shot in the same tone as the Call Of Duty games, I'm so there. If I watch it and the show blows, hey...at least I got a few of you a free copy of the XBOX 360 version of Call Of Duty 3, which is released on Nov 7th.

Ah crap, this is freakin sweet! With only a couple more weeks until Family Guy returns to with new episodes on November 12, 9:00pm on FOX, and since I'm such good pals with the series creator, Seth Macfarlane, I thought now might be a good time for a fun filled Family Guy giveaway.

We have the brand new Family Guy Video Game for PS2 up for grabs. You can be Stewie matching wits against half brother Bertram while trying to take over the world. Play as Peter and fight to stop Mr. Belevedere who he thinks is trying to take over the world. And of course, you could always choose to be Brian and attempt to escape prison and prove your innocence in a puppy parental case gone awry. Yeah..... Family Guy Video Game. Cool.

Contest details after the jump. . .

When Mark Burnett introduced Americans to Survivor back in the summer of 2000, he realized that a lot of people would enjoy seeing other people fight to win for a million dollars. Although I always thought it would be fun to be on Survivor, I realize that my lazy ass wouldn't last very long. As I survey some of the other reality competitions out there, I realize that there really aren't really that many reality competitions that I would be successful at. After all, they don't have a competition that rewards people for being lazy and knowing lots about television do they? Actually, they do. the game is called Gold Rush, it's brought to you by Mark Burnett, and you can actually win real money. Now, I probably should have talked about Gold Rush back when it was first announced in September, but better late than never and all that type of shit. While it is clearly an exercise in online marketing on a number of levels, it does allow those of us who fear malnutrition or Julie Chen to flex our pop culture muscles and win some money. The actual chances of winning anything may be slim, but the chances that you can waste at least half your day away at work are quite high. The only requirements are an AOL Screen Name and I'll gladly accept the 10% finders fee should any of you win.

When Innterube launched a few months back, it was a wasteland of sucktastic failed CBS pilots and low budget new media projects. . . many months have gone by and I am happy to report ... well it's still a lot of that BUT it's a great place to catch the shows you like and may have missed including SURVIVOR and THE AMAZING RACE. (saved me last week when I was flying and didn't set my DVR, yay!)

To help bring attention to it, Innertube is offering one lucky TVgasmer a $25.00 CSI branded I-tunes gift card that you can use to purchase your favorite CBS shows for your iPod. To enter, simply send an email to Madeyoulaugh@tvgasm.com subject "Innertube Contest" and give me your thoughts as to which is a better show, Survivor or The Amazing Race. Entries will be accepted until Sunday, October 22nd at 11:59PM PST. I will select a winner based on most compelling argument.
