Killer Instinct

[twistedsymphony]

just got the email code for the fire-cat pin...

with that I placed my order for sadira, orchid and the fire-cat pins...

they also confirmed that the next 2 pins will be spinal and spinal's shield.

EDIT:

Soooo... apparently the June Pin Challenge is already over. It was the "Come At Me Bro" In-Game Challenge for performing 50 combo breakers and it ended on July 7th: http://forums.xbox.com/xbox_forums/x...t/1776879.aspx

The only place it was mentioned was on the official Xbox forums... no twitter announcement, no in-game announcement (that I saw), no post on the Penny-Arcade KI Pin thread, no notification sent to KI-Central

Thankfully I try to complete all the in-game challenges anyway but anyone who doesn't just got royally screwed

so yeah... that was for Spinal's shield.... only 1 challenge left now.
