The Champions Online Blood Moon Halloween event is set to kick off on Oct. 27, but it's currently on the public test server to work out any bugs before the event goes live. Cryptic is rewarding players who participate in the testing process by giving them a Road Cone Hat costume piece simply for logging in today. All you need to do is spend an hour or more on the test server between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. and 5-8 p.m. PDT.

Whether you're a Champions Online player or are unfamiliar with the superhero MMO, watch the first episode of the "The BFF Report," a new ZAM video series that takes a closer look at the games we play. Mike "Fony" Bailey checks out the character creation process with some hilarious commentary.
