Destructoid is gaming news, community, videos, and sometimes love. Take the tour or jump in with Facebook:

 



Destructoid, Gamecock Media Group, and Red Fly Studio want to give you something mind-blowingly cool: a custom, one-of-a-kind Mushroom Men bass guitar autographed by the legendary Les Claypool. Yup, that's it up there, and you want it because it's gorgeous ... right?

Winning it isn't going to be easy, but it should be fun. It's arts and crafts time, folks -- we're asking you to create a Mushroom Men-related diorama! Entrants will take photographs of their work (not digitally altered, please!) and send the images to mmdiorama@gmail.com. Destructoid staff will pick up to 10 finalists, and the community will vote on the winners!

  • Grand prize: A Mushroom Men custom bass guitar, signed by Les Claypool; a copy of Mushroom Men: The Spore Wars (Wii); and a copy of Mushroom Men: Rise of Fungi (Nintendo DS); a set of Mushroom Men trading cards; a high-quality Mushroom Men poster signed by Les Claypool
  • Second place: A high-quality Mushroom Men poster; choice of Mushroom Men: The Spore Wars (Wii) or Mushroom Men: Rise of the Fungi (Nintendo DS); a set of Mushroom Men trading cards
  • Third place: A high-quality Mushroom Men poster

The contest ends October 3, at which point we'll stop accepting entries, so start cracking! Looking for inspiration? Check out mushroommen.com!

Additionally, Gamecock Media Group have a special offer for Destructoid readers who pre-order Mushroom Men (Wii or DS), Legendary, or Velvet Assassin: a $10 gift code for The Onion Store! Simply email proof of pre-order (like a scanned/photographed receipt, or a forwarded email confirmation) to destructionion@gamecocklove.com. Offer only good while gift codes last.

Good luck, and we're looking forward to seeing what your twisted brains come up with!

[Note: This contest is open to anyone in any place on the planet Earth, including Europe.]

Eh, even though that guitar is really, really, really nice, I don't have any crafty skills. :(

I was actually planning on buying supplies for this today, even without your reminder. I MUST HAVE that bass.

They seem a little eager to give away free shit for their upcoming games...this does not bode well.

Is that an... acid puke spitting mushroom creature on the guitar ? Oh. Oh. I hope you're all happy now. The tears are flooding the entire appartment now.

What would really make this rock, is if they sent someone to your house to teach you how to play it. Just how many video game fans play the bass?
