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.

Let's Update the "Sites We Like" Page
Posted by Bobby on 14.07. at 23:24
While most of the time spent on the Gamers website is on the forum, there are still pages on the main site that can be useful. That being said, we should update the Sites We Like page. It probably hasn't been touched in years. So let's mull over it, pick the ones that should stay, and add new links to places we often read.

The categories are:
News and Reviews Sites, Blogs and Media Types, Fan Sites, Academics, Entertainment, and Music

These too can be modified.

Let's do this!

News and Reviews Sites (the big dogs)
IGN
1up
GameSpot
Kotaku
Joystiq
[url=][/url]

Blogs and Media Authors (small staff, individual, or very focused)
[url=][/url]

Fan Sites (for specific games/series)
[url=][/url]

Academics (smart stuff)
[url=][/url]

Entertainment (like comics or videos)
[url=][/url]

Music (bands, remix, OSTs)

End of an Era + Trivia Day
Posted by ExMachina on 24.04. at 21:39
So, we're fresh out of the last meeting of the semester (Spring Cleaning challenge day!)... which will be concluded on Trivia Day next week.

Trivia Day will be on Wed. May 30 at Erik's place (directions will be sent shortly to the mailing list). Celebrate the end of classes and take a little break before starting on your exam studying, paper writing, etc.

Rules -
1. Modified Jeopardy-style gaming-related trivia contest
2. Try to get on Sollosi's team
3. If you fail to accomplish Rule 2, then disregard Rule 1

There will be food, prizes, and the chance to show off your gaming knowledge and earn some nerd cred. So don't miss it!

Anyways, I'd also like to take this time to thank the fourth year regulars and officers who will be leaving us soon... *sniff* You folks have made this another great year for the Gamers Club, both during "official" club events and a plethora of outside get-togethers. That said, the torch (or NES controller, as it were) was passed today at the meeting... Gamers, presenting your 08/09 officers!

Co-presidents: Sollosi and Z
Historian: Alex
Social Chair: Kat
Webmaster: Amanda (yep, you're stuck with me for another year, heh)
