...Out of the remote recesses of Software City, four courageous heroes bound together by a code of knowledge, insight, and honor dared to stand up and fight for software developers around the globe. The time has come for caffeine. The time has come for take-out. The time has come for all-nighters. The time has come... for Source Fource!

I was reading Brian's blog, and saw his post about "Source Fource". It's a marketing campaign to get you watching webcasts and trying out the virtual labs. In exchange you can get an action figure each month.

Figures are so cool! You can meet the heroes, and watch the video of "MSDN Webcasts Guy". Also there is a game, if you would like to be a hero :)
