The game for the next "Nation of Gamers" show is, FORSAKEN WORLD, by perfect world. It is FREE to play, but you can buy costumes and stuff with something they call ZEN.
We are going to be giving away 1 $20 card, and 2 $10 cards of zen (if they exist.. we may have to paypal you the $10). For the top 3 places.
What is the contest? Glad you asked. It's SUPER easy. All you have to do is PICK some flowers! Start TODAY. You will have to turn in your flowers before THURSDAY, MAY 5th 2011, and the person who has collected the most will win. The 2nd and 3rd prizes will be the next 2. In case of a tie, we will go by who turns them in the earliest.
Just Mail it to "spawnbank" to get credit for it. Please use the same user for sending it in to get full credit!
Be sure you make your character in the correct game, and on the correct server. This contest is open to ALL, and you do NOT have to be in our guild to join in the fun. We will be keeping all the flowers!

NOG 32: Thanks Be to Games Dec 15, 2010

Show notes

This week, we here on NoG talk about everything for which we are thankful. Well, everything we're thankful about in games. That's why there's a picture of a headcrab. Actually, I think headcrabs kind of look like turkeys. Turkeys are related to Thanksgiving, therefore this image is not completely and totally random.
Man, now I'm hungry. Roasted headcrab and bullsquid dressing, all drenched in gravy made from that stuff barnacles puke after you kill them. Ooh, and mashed potatoes. Yum.

NOG 31: Music to our Ears Nov 24, 2010

Show notes

Although it is one of our favorite game genres, rhythm games are in steady decline. Viacom's announcement they were divesting Harmonix has been the talk of the industry, and we're eager to delve into the subject of the future of the genre.
In fact, Wes seems very concerned that game sales numbers indicate the decline of all fun. But we're quick to point out the weakness of pretty much any opinion he expresses.
In the process, we'll debate where we think the industry is heading, and whether the growth of first-person shoots and sports games are a threat to the market.
Lest we forget... DUCKS!

NOG 30: Format Change Nov 16, 2010

Show notes

You'll notice something a little different about this week's episode. Instead of rambling on and on, we're trying a more focused show. You won't hear about our weeks or what games we've played. Instead, we're jumping right to the topic. Hopefully it'll make a show a little leaner and meaner. We'd love to hear what you think; feel free to let us know what you think of the change. We're not sure it's permanent as of yet, and we'll continue to play with the format until it feels right.
This week we talk about cognitive dissonance, otherwise known as stuff just not making sense. Does the show make sense? I dunno, maybe there's some cognitive dissonance at play there. Who knows? I don't. Man, it's hard to write funny copy for the new show format.
Instead... MORE DUCKS!
That duck was short, sweet, and to the point. Kind of like this episode!
