GAME START: Carnival of Gamers 24 Special Limited Birthday Edition

(CLICK - WHIRRRRR...)

Carnival of Gamers 24

(Press Start to Begin)

Okay, I want to create my character...

What the...?! Black costs extra?! What kind of garbage is this, Andrea Rubenstein?!

The selection is looking kind of bare. I see Fox McCloud, but where's Sonic, Sharde26?

Okay, now I have to assign my character a class and a job. Our friend Jimmy Atkinson at OEDb has some suggestions.

Let's stock up on supplies... According to Ken Nubo, I can make money if I sell gold. Makes sense.

Okay, let's set out on our quest!

This is a nice town. There appears to be a wise old sage named David Fincher. He's dispelling an untrue rumour. Thanks for your help, Dave!

Who's that user ranting and raving in the town square? Oh, it's just peterb. He appears to be shouting at a statue, but his points about gaming's stillborn conscience are still valid.

Ah, crud. I died. Never fight a rat if you're Level 1.

This is the Special Limited Birthday Edition, let's run the bonus disc.

(EJECT - CLICK - WHIRRRRR...)

Jay Barnson got us a great making-of feature. Check it out!

I'm tired of this game. Let's get out of it.

Are you sure you want to quit?

YES

Are you really sure?

YES

Are you totally, absolutely, positively...

YES, AND I WILL KILL YOU IF YOU DON'T LET ME EXIT.

Let's peruse some of the gaming review sites...

Adriel has a strong recommendation of Puzzle Quest. Apparently we should play it now.

Wow, this Jigsaw hc guy really likes to review! He's lukewarm about Tetris Evolution, positive towards Desktop Tower Defense and 3D Ultra Minigolf Adventures and freaking ecstatic about Xbox Live Arcade's performance last month.

That's all the gaming I can handle for today. Thanks for visiting the Carnival of Gamers, and if you want to submit to future carnivals, go to buttonmashing.com for more information. Happy 3rd birthday to the Carnival, and happy 18th to me!

GAME OVER
