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 hea…

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 …

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 kno…

I know you’re all expecting some jokey post about games addiction, but we here at Nation of Gamers take it very seriously. For example, take the plight of our very own Wes Wilson. You may notice that he’s missing from this week’s show. He’ll probably be gone for the next couple of weeks as well; it sort of depends on when the doctors release him. Y…

You kids these days and your video game characters. You think they’re so great! Well, I was a kid in the 40′s, and our video game characters were worth a hundred of yours! I say characters, but really we only had one. Yankee Joe! It was 1944; the height of World War II. I hear kids today whining about how they’re sick of WWII games, but back then i…

Look, I don’t have time for this. I’ve got eight stacks of glass that need to be delivered to base camp 3 pronto. They’ve already been delayed, and the customer is gonna be ticked off as is. I know we’re supposed to be recording a podcast, but I’ve got more important things to do. You see that glass tower in the distance? You think that thing is go…

Row 247 It has been days since I’ve seen the sun. I stopped trying to count the hours; it’s impossible to track with no clock, this deep beneath the earth’s surface. I had thought to count the number of times I needed to sleep, but I find I’m filled with some unholy energy that lets me work unceasingly. Instead, I dig, and I count rows. Two hundred…

You may not know this, but the Dead Workers Party is totally still in beta. That’s the reason why we frequently crash, and we occasionally act up. Let’s face it; we’re certainly not feature complete. Eric’s memory utilization is awful. Wes has some wicked terrible logic loops. Spencer makes this really weird screeching sound output that we can’t fi…

This week we read a bunch of emails. That was fun! You should send more! We’ll read them and it will be fun! Yeah, so there’s no special fun time silly post today. I’m a little under the weather. But I don’t want to leave everyone in the cold, so watch this instead! [ARTICLE] Duke Nukem Forever was brought back to life [HAUNTED VIDEO GAME] Majora […

Those go out over time, …

Man, I am so hung over. I have no idea what day it is. What is this, Tuesday? I guess I should write the post for this week’s NoG… Wait, it’s Thursday? Well, suck. I guess I shouldn’t have crawled into that bottle of Maker’s Mark on Sunday after we recorded. Anyway, what did we talk about this week? Oh right, Monday Night Combat! That game is prett…

So after the last show, I was totally expecting to be the one saying bad things about Starcraft II. I was positive everyone was going to be like, “Oh, there goes Spencer again, talking bad about great games. Get a new shtick, pal!” Imagine my surprise when it wasn’t me, but another host who had the most bad things to say about Starcraft II! I’m not…

Frank: Did you notice that the Dead Workers Party has been putting Nation of Gamers out regularly again? Fran: Yeah, that’s great. I guess they finally solved the existential crises that plagued their production schedule. Frank: And how! The newest episode is sort of about Transformers: War for Cybertron, but it’s really about review scores. Fran: …

This week we’re talking about Alien Breed, or is it Alien Swarm? It’s something with the word Alien in it. Oh and something about a golden wrench.

He was the first podcaster to write a song about Heavy Rain. And what a song it was! But for Eric Fullerton, writing and singing songs about video games was never the problem. It was the media attention that took it’s toll. Some of the greatest dangers came from within, such as the devastating love triangle that nearly tore the Dead Workers apart. …

Halfway through this episode Brent’s cellphone mysteriously rings, and he gets up and leaves the studio to take the call. This is the first time in three years of podcasting that this has happened. Imagine the scene, if you will; Wes and Spencer are happily chatting as Brent sits uncomfortably, his eyes shifting back and forth nervously. Eric is st…

There I was, cornered in a Bulgarian hostel by a fish with one eye. I had a pen in one hand and the state of Kansas in the other. Now I know what you’re thinking; it’s not even close to tomato season. I didn’t let that stop me! I gunned the engine in my rowboat and flew to Sheeptown, dodging wild UN weapons inspectors as I went. It wasn’t until my …

Little Karen leaped at the sound of the old, rattling 1977 Cadillac Catera pulling into the driveway. Only one car sounded like that; it had to be Grandpa! Nearly squealing with excitement, she rushed to the front door and threw it open. “Grandpa!” she shouted. “Well, hello, little Karen,” Grandpa said as he hobbled away from the car. “How is my fa…

I woke in the morning To a glorious joy, Let’s celebrate all! It’s April Fool’s, oh boy! I paced and I fretted I hummed and I hawed, Without a good prank They’d all know me a fraud. And then with a start I knew that I had it, The finest tomfoolery That would prove my wit! I bounded to my computer Not a second to spare! I loaded up Photoshop And beg…

“Max, are you awake?” “Eh?” “I said, MAX, ARE YOU AWAKE?” “Oh fer cryin’ out loud woman, I’m old and hard a’ hearing, but I ain’t deaf!” “Do you remember when we were twenty-five…” “I can’t even remember what I had fer breakfast this morning.” “You had cyber-oats.” “Ding dang ol’ cyber-oats. Whatsamatter with oatmeal? Kids these days too good for o…

Look baby, you knew what you were getting into when we started this thing. I’m a plumber. That means I travel through pipes to a magical mushroom kingdom where I fight a race of evil anthropomorphic turtles. It’s long hours and low pay. Sure, I pick up coins all the time, but they’re only legal tender in the mushroom kingdom and they’re only redeem…

It’s a fact: Ninja Blade is the finest game to grace the Xbox 360. In fact, it’s the second best console game ever. The first best was of course The Fist of the North Star on the NES. That game was amazing, exhibiting game play of such sublime quality that it will likely never be matched. But anyway, back to Ninja Blade. Do you like ninjas? What ab…

Dear Diary, Well, it happened again. For financial reasons, I’m forced to once again choose between my two greatest needs; either I can buy Final Fantasy XIII or I can pay rent. Why does this always happen to me? Maybe it’s because I only make $200 a week fetching snacks for George Broussard, but hey, at least I’m working in the industry. Maybe I s…

It happens to everyone. One minute you’re enjoying a hardcore game of Donkey Kong Jr., and the next you’re breezing through Mass Effect 2 on the hardest difficulty.

Every year, millions of video games are tragically left on store shelves by parents who think games are only for adults. These sad, abandoned titles are left to rot, forgotten by the society that scorns them. If only parents knew that gaming can be for everyone… Even children! I know it’s shocking, but many kids actually enjoy playing games! Do you…

Jim: So, there’s this new thing out there called the iPad. Jen: i-what? Jim: I know, right? This is the first I’m hearing about it, too! I hear it plays games. Jen: Really? I like games.
