BTW, thanks again for getting this started, Tony. It was definitely something that needed to be done, and I’m glad you got the ball rolling. I’ve read lots of cools stuff I never would have seen before.

Yeah me too, I quite enjoyed this one. Some day we’ll have to get all the game bloggers together, perhaps at a Carnivale. Except there would be games, ale and…maybe elephants.

Elephants would be a nice touch.

Yeah, Foton did a bang-up job on the Carnival this month. I was nervous that it was starting to lose momentum but we had a decent number of entries, which is good to see. Thanks to all that participated.

Personally, I think I’d vote against the elephants.

You used to blow into your NES cartridges to make them work (even though it was probably nothing more than the Placebo Effect). Now you can make some sweet music with your very own Custom Nintendo Super Mario 3 Harmonica! —Tony [Comment]

The Blur beta started today on the 360, and yours truly was able to score a code. Let me say this: Think Burnout Paradise + licensed cars + Mario Kart - annoying powerup randomness + the leveling mechanic of Call of Duty = the best online racing experience I've ever had. I knew this just fifteen minutes in. Each race is about 5 minutes long and is intense, pretty, and wonderful throughout the entire course. If they make no major changes in the negative, this is a must buy. Now to get it on PS3 or 360? —Nat [Comment]

I think this is the end is near for Blockbuster. Not only are they bringing back late fees, which nobody likes, but they are raising the prices of old releases to 5$. Wow. I thought that they were circling the toilet before. —James [Comment]
