Carmine Must Die (or Live)! Pick Your Avatar Shirt Today


Will Carmine live or die? The choice is yours by buying either a Save Carmine or a Carmine Must Die t-shirt for 80 points a piece!

For those of you who like to support Child's Play, you'll be happy to know that ALL of the money is going to said charity!

Carmine is a dead man.

I find the very concept of paying actual money for a very simplistic Avatar item that took all of 2 minutes to model for the purpose of participating in an AD CAMPAIGN to be so blatantly insulting to my intelligence that I scarce can find the words to express my disgust.

I mean, COME ON, Microsoft/Epic. Give them away, and then gauge your poll based on how many people have their avatars wearing each shirt, the same as you've done with gamerpics in the past. Charging for these just reinforces the notion that you're so slobbering drunk for DLC revenue over every little thing that it makes me seriously reconsider participating in the XBL experience at all.

Haha.. some one just got set ablaze!

Though, I wonder what percentage of the money goes to Child's Play, and what percentage goes to "overhead". I hate when organizations take donations for a charity and out of the $10 you donate, only $1 really goes to the charity. The other $9 was lining the pockets of everyone else in the name of "overhead".

According to the original press release all proceeds are going to Child's Play.

I'm sure you can expect some sort of $DLC that will give you the choice that didn't win .

I agree with this guy ^^ However, I will still buy one of these shirts because it goes to charity and I love Gears. SAVE CARMINE!

Carmine must die. I have the greatest sympathy for virtual Mrs. Carmine who must lay so costly a sacrifice, in alphabetical order, upon the altar of freedom. However, the Carmines have what is becoming a time-honored role as the redshirts. It would be wrong to break from series tradition at this point. My hope is that this tragic war concludes before little Zebediah (or w/e) needs to join the fight.
