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 [...]

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 [...]

Frank: Did you notice that the Dead Workers Party has been putting Nation of Gamers out regularly again? Fran: Yeah, that’s great.

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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!

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.

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 [...]

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.
