Quite a few things going on today, huh?

We've got quite a few things going on today so lets get straight to it!
First up, there has been an issue with several users uploading covers using our old (and out-of-date) template. In May of 2012 we relaunched the site with a new look, new templates, and a new name - http://www.steamgamecovers.com . The templates were recreated from scratch in Adobe Illustrator (versus Adobe Photoshop with the original version) and are much sharper in quality than the old ones. Also, the old ones now have the incorrect website name attached to them. In December of 2012 the old name - www. steamcovers .com will expire (currently it redirects traffic to our new name). I do not want the old template spreading any further. So, in summary:
If you are going to submit a cover YOU MUST USE THE CURRENT TEMPLATE. Any covers using the old templates will be deleted no matter how good the art is. The current template can be downloaded here in .JPG, .PNG, or .PSD:

Next bit of news, our Torchlight II sweepstakes comes to an end TONIGHT at midnight! You still have about 12 hours (from the time of this post) to submit a cover and be entered. Let me just give you the low-down on how this is going to end:
1. The sweepstakes closes tonight at midnight PST. Any covers submitted AFTER that time are ineligible for the sweepstakes.
2. Sometime August 1st, I will randomly draw out a winner based on the number if entries.
3. I will then contact that winner by email to let them know that they've won.
4. After I've received a response from the winner, I will transfer the game to the Steam account of their choice.
5. The name of the winner will be posted in the forums for all to see.
There are a few things that might hold up the announcement of the winner. If I do not get a response from the winner within 48 hours, I will redraw another winner from the list of eligible entries. Please be aware of this and check your email periodicity tomorrow. Also remember to check your junk filters too.
Another thing to remember is that Torchlight II is STILL NOT released and has no current release date in sight other than "Summer 2012." Unfortunately, I cannot give away something that does not exist. Instead, the winner will receive a voucher good for the full version of the game upon it's release date.
Good luck to all of our entrants!
Finally, lets get to some covers! @Viper_Bravo has uploaded some new cover art for Midnight Club 2. It all looks really great; I can't wait to print out my backups! Thank you very much @Viper! Make sure you get that here:

That's all for now!
