Newsflash from Dark Void-land: 

We scored tickets to the highly coveted Jay-Z concert, featuring N.E.R.D., Wale and J. Cole, at Pauley Pavilion on the UCLA campus for this Sunday November 8, 2009, beginning at 6:30PM. So, what does this mean for the Dark Void Community? Well, we're offering this pair to one lucky Community member!

Head here for full details.  Winning the tix is as easy as following Dark Void on twitter.  Head here for full details, good luck, and color me jealous.  I haven't been to a Jay-Z concert since the previous... unpleasantness.

Over at the Dark Void site, a new dev diary has arrived in fancy new motion-picture format.  From Morgan Gray to Inafune-san, the whole DV crew shows up with plenty of sexy blue backlighting:

The third installment in the Developer Video Diary series is here to take you deeper into The Void with exclusive insight from the crew at Capcom and Airtight Games.

Dev Video Diary #3 deals exclusively with the game's character development and how the developers wanted to provide rich, complicated back-stories in order to complement the overall storyline. Really interesting stuff ... check out the video below and get the full dish on Will, Ava, and Tesla

Dark Void environment artist Doug Van Horne is back to talk about the terrifying freedom of trying to create a world where flight combat and cover-based ground combat are seamlessly united.  He goes through the five stages of grief to arrive at a... rock?

You'll have to head over to the Dark Void site to see what he's talking about (and here's part 1 if'n you missed it).

During Capcom's stand last week in NYC, HipHopGamer went one-on-one with Dark Void producer Morgan Gray.

With the giant championship belt and high-energy tone, HHG can seem over the top, but real enthusiasm is infectious and there's a ton of good info and insight from Morgan in here. Check it out.

Excited about Dark Void?  Free next Monday (Oct. 12th) afternoon?  Then you will definitely want to join us for a very special top secret Dark Void event.  Just how secret is "top secret"? 

--It's so secret that we can't even tell you what we're going to be doing. 

--It's so secret that we won't even give you the location of the event, we just give you a location where we'll pick you up and take you from there to the secret event.  That's what they do at the kind of cool raves I don't get invited to!

--It's so secret that even monocle-wearing millionaires who want to do what we're doing don't get to do it.  Dun-dun-dun!

If you're selected to go, you'll receive the location of an assembly point somewhere in downtown San Francisco.  At 2pm, the invitees will assemble, and we will pick you up to take you to the secret location. 

If you want to go, drop THIS GUY a note explaining why we should choose you.

Requirements: 

--you must be 21 years old or above, with valid ID in the form of a US driver's license.  Without this, you can't go. 

--you must be able to make it to the assembly point by 2pm on Monday, October 12th.  You'll be gone until ~7:30 pm, so you'll need the afternoon and early evening free.

If you're available, this is definitely one you don't want to miss!
