The latest edition of the Carnival of Gamers is hosted at Man Bytes Blog and includes illustrations! over a dozen entries! and a prize for the most popular entry!
I’m partial myself to Acid for Blood’s essay about some punk ass DDR kiddies, “Bunch of Savages in This Town”. Nothing I hate more than gangsta posers with pants puddled around their knees. No wait … I hate hockey school brats more than gangsta posers.
Now that reminds me of a story.
The next stop of the Carnival of Gamers has arrived at Mile Zero, cleverly formatted like a text adventure, amply demonstrating why I have always hated text adventures. Still, I think it’s clever.
I’ve only read one of the submissions so far (mine), but based on that, I know this Carnival of Gamers is the best ever! My mom would agree, except for the swearing.
I’ve also seen the theatrical trailer for the upcoming War of the Worlds and can give that movie a thumbs up, except for the Tom Cruise part. If that guy can make a nickel, I can make a million.
There ya go, two full reviews and it only took ten minutes of my time.
This is one sweet gig.
The tents have been erected for the first Carnival of Gamers. (ba-da-bing!)
By my count (and remember, AFK Gamer doesn’t have a fact checker), there’s twenty submissions from twenty bloggers, covering game reviews, the console wars, E3, the i-am-8-bit art, elf p0rn (I kid!), Antonia Bayle, Guild Wars, the future, the glamorous lifestyle of the serious gamer, and more! more! more!
Step over to the booth at buttonmashing.com and spin the wheel — there’s prizes for everyone. (I lie!)
Thanks to Tony of buttonmashing for hosting, organizing, and doing the heavy lifting. Next stop is Thomas’ place at Mile Zero on June 9, 2005.
