Happy Year of the Dragon — they say that every time a ghost bell rings, a Spiral Knight gets its wings!

This January 23rd saw the turning of the Chinese Zodiac calendar to the Year of the Dragon. There is more than enough fascinating lore to follow up on if you want to learn more about the Chinese Dragon, and to celebrate in Spiral Knights, we are having a promotion with Dragon Wings accessories!

Dragon Wings are delivered free with any $9.99 purchase of Crystal Energy (CE) in-game. You will receive a random set of wings — click here for more details!.

For those wondering: It is true that Chinese Dragons do not traditionally have wings (though they do have truly handsome whiskers). Consider this a West-meets-East hybridized celebration of the mythic creatures — and who can argue with wings when they look this good?

This promotion runs through February 13, 2012.

May all your loot drops this year be good ones!

To celebrate the release of House of the Dead 3 on PlayStation Network, we asked you to write your best haiku as an “Ode to the Creatures of the House of the Dead.” After a careful judging session that involved several dramatic readings in the SEGA offices, we’ve found our winners!

Grand Prize Winners

Jimmy:

Decomposed bodies

Should not be walking to me

This is abnormal

Chris:

Zombies everywhere

shotgun takes good care of them

Blood on my silk shirt

Adam:

Trigger finger aches,

Dreamcast whirrs like a chainsaw,

Suffer like G did?

Scott:

Shotguns are the best,

But poetry can work too,

Subdue the undead

SharpShooter Winners

David

The screams pierce my soul

My weapon is part of me

I dodge, shoot, reload

Eric:

Pumping my shotgun

I make trails across the screen

Kill the Wheel of Fate

Lawrence:

Dangerous mutants

Thrashing in the sombre town

Will you win or lose

Sarah:

Risen from their grave,

The walking dead roam the streets

Shoot now, Tweet later

Darren:

Axe thrown at your face

Leaping fish, killer worms, bats

Goldman must be stopped

Lee:

Scary yet funny

Impossible to avoid

Don’t use the Z word

Game Winners

Drew:

My friends went inside

But they have not come back yet

This should be funny

Jason:

They are not zombies.

Agent G calls them “mutants”.

We will just shoot them.

Nicholas:

Who’s Johnny, she said

Flannel-clad with two axes

Not Sheedy’s ‘bot friend

Adam:

Why are you in here,

Lost in the House of the Dead?

Innocent human.

Darren:

Run from them, yelling

Don’t come! Don’t come! What is that?

Think it’s G’s blood stains

Mike:

Slashing and tearing

blood splattering and gushing
