    NOG 32: Thanks Be to Games

    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

    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! podPressShowHidePlayer('1', 'http://deadworkerspartynetwork.com/uploads/nog/nog_ep031.mp3', 290, 24, 'false', 'http://deadworkers.com/network/wp-content/plugins/podpress/images/vpreview_center.png', 'Standard Podcast', 'Dead Workers Party'); Nog Blog: Endangered SpeciesHelp John Mazz on his volunteer trip to Ghana!Episode Graphic by Joni Godoy

    NOG 30: Format Change

    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! podPressShowHidePlayer('1', 'http://deadworkerspartynetwork.com/uploads/nog/nog_ep030.mp3', 290, 24, 'false', 'http://deadworkers.com/network/wp-content/plugins/podpress/images/vpreview_center.png', 'Standard Podcast', 'Dead Workers Party'); NoG BloG: Cognitive Dissonance

    NOG 28: Where’s Wes Wilson?

    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. You see, Wes has been diagnosed with acute games addiction. He has been understandably reluctant to talk about his problem. In fact, the rest of us in the DWP had no idea there was a problem at all. In fact, we had no idea he even played the game he has become addicted to. The game in question is Star Trek Voyager: Elite Force. Not even Elite Force 2… just Elite Force. Here’s a picture of Elite Force, just so you know what I’m talking about. Weird, right? I don’t even think Wes likes Star Trek that much. And let’s face it; even Star Trek fans hate Voyager. Well, except for Seven of Nine. But I’m getting off track. When asked about his addiction, all Wes can do is shout “I’M CUCKOO FOR STAR TREK VOYAGER: ELITE FORCE!” over and over and over again. It’s really annoying, and that’s the main reason we didn’t want him on the show this week. I know the show is pretty bad already, but that would make it so much worse. Anyway, please keep Wes in your thoughts and prayers over the next couple of weeks. Also, the post image is totally not a bad ‘shop, but is an actual picture of Wes taken in the sanitarium. This week we talk almost exclusively about games addiction. Spencer and Brent really got into it over this. Seriously, Eric threatened to spray them both down with the hose so they’d stop fighting.

    NOG 27: You’ve Got Character

    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 it was all we had. Yankee Joe fought the Nazis to save the world. Yankee Joe didn’t waste time with words or humanitarian aid. He killed Nazis. Over and over again. There was no reward; killing Nazis was reward enough. There was no score; only the sweet taste of dead Nazis. Yankee Joe only did one thing, but he did it well; he killed Nazis. Now we didn’t have any fancy Nintendo or Sony Playstation. After all, we were at war with the Tojos. Instead, we drew dots on the radio and pretended it was the moving pictures and that we had video games that hadn’t been invented yet. I don’t think this post is really working, so I’m gonna cut it off here. This week we talked about video game characters! What makes them good? What makes them bad? Who really cares? Listen in and fun will be had by all!

    NOG 26: minecraft minecraft minecraft

    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 going to build itself? I’m burning daylight here; torches won’t attach to glass. Okay fine, we’ll record, but I’m not talking about anything other than Minecraft. And we have to make it quick; there’s building to be done. This week we talk about Minecraft. Sure, there are a few other games mentioned, but really this is another Minecraft episode. If you don’t play Minecraft, you may want to skip this episode and START PLAYING MINECRAFT instead. Seriously, I think this obsession is going to last a while.
