The dust from the 24-hour Dragon Age: Origins Warden’s Quest tournament has begun to settle, and the sleep-deprived, blood-soaked winner has been declared: The team representing the nation of Hungary. The Hungarians trailed in the rankings until the fourth round of the contest, when they rallied to pass the BioWare Community team (who finished in second place). We guess you could say they were just Hungarier for victory then everyone else.

America, however, must have only been slightly peckish, ending up with a disappointing ninth place (or next-to-last place) finish, and getting eliminated in the third round of the competition. This might be a small blow to our egos, but hey — at least we’re still better at dragon slaying than the Czech Republic and Slovakia. Booyah!

Already sporting a luxurious moustache? Of course you are you perfect specimen of man. But if you’re not, now’s a good time to let those whiskers grow. Rockstar has announced that they’re sponsoring Movember, a month-long moustache growing event to raise awareness for men’s health issues, by offering a chance to win a role in Red Dead Redemption (via Joystiq).

The rules are pretty simple. Register on Movember’s website, then register your email address with Rockstar to participate in their event. Then proceed to grow the best moustache your genes will let you, and at the end of the month Rockstar will pick “the rugged hombre with the best mo” to have a character created in his image in Red Dead Redemption.

The one catch is if you are already sporting a luxurious moustache, you’ll have to shave it clean off and start anew. Otherwise, it would be cheating, after all.

According to a post by a community manager on the official Home forums, Sony is clarifying that Home director Pete Edwards was misquoted when it was reported he said Home is “not a priority right now but there is a business model there” during a speech at the London Games Conference earlier this week (via Kotaku).

“The coverage of what Pete Edwards said at the London Games Conference was not only a misquote, it was a misrepresentation of what he actually said,” the forum post reads. “Edwards was saying that monetizing Home was not as big a priority as building a great platform, with a compelling environment and a strong community. Home is still a top priority for Sony and will continue to release quality content and provide a positive experience to our users.”

So there you go, Home fans: The service is still a priority for Sony from a perspective of building it into a better community platform, just not so much from the perspective of trying monetize the experience beyond the business model that’s already in place.
