Episode 05 "A Very Braidy Podcast"

J's back! And what does that mean? It means we get to discuss potato chips and beer. Oh, and some video games too, I suppose.

Newsflash: J LOVES POINTS. Tune in to hear him talk about his misadventures with Avatar: The Last Airbender and Madden 06.

Though we've played a few demos and some Geometry Wars 2, this week is really all about Braid. With about 40 minutes of the podcast dedicated to one game, we discuss both gameplay and narrative. Don't want spoilers because you're going to play Braid soon? That's okay! We give fair warning in the course of the podcast for when we're going to discuss potential spoilers for the rest of the show.

Whole days of club-sponsored gaming goodness!

March 24 - Spring Festival 2006
the one that started it all...

Gamers Club co-founders Bobby and J bid farewell to the University with a bang! Despite being the first shindig of its kind, the soon-to-be trademark free gaming, tournaments, and handheld madness went down with nary a hitch. Unless you count the discovery of the dishonorable strategy of fruit-camping during the Pac-Man VS tourney... Regardless, students, Charlottesville community members, and even some out-of-towners all came together to play some games. 'Twas beautiful... but don't take my word for it, the photos speak for themselves.

October 27 - Fall Festival 2006
bigger and better...

From set-up to break down, the whole event was another resounding success for the club with an even higher attendance this time around. Witness some great gaming and tournament footage, plus some Contra-inspired hijinks by then president Stephen in videos of the festival.

wowing the crowd with star power...

With club members introducing the joys of imported games to anyone and everyone, the largest tournament turn-outs yet, and PS2s featuring Guitar Hero 2 all over the place, the second iteration of the Spring Festival truly rocked.
