Retro Weekly Report

Announcements

　　We're getting closer to the end of the event, as we are now in week five of our GS Mr. Riddles Answers Activity. After this week, only one more week will remain before your chance to get the rare Mr. Riddles emblem is locked away--with the emblem NEVER TO BE SEEN AGAIN except by those few and proud who already have it, giving them eternal bragging rights over those who missed osut. If you have any questions about the rules, be sure to check out the guidelines page here.

　　How to Make Better Video Games Blog Activity

　　We've all had that moment when playing video games, that moment where you can't help but think to yourself: "Why would they do (blank) like that? They should have done (blank)." Well, now is the chance to speak your mind and be rewarded for your efforts to make games just a little better. In honor of Video Game History Month, we are asking our Spotters to blog about how they would make video game history by bettering the things we all know and love. For more details, go to the rules and guidelines page here.

　　Half-Life Deathmatch Game Night Replay

　　This week we decided to honor one of the greatest games of its time: Half-Life. We grabbed our guns and ran about the compound trying to take down Chris Watters, Jody Robinson, and Justin Calvert in an all-out battle. This is just the beginning of our regularly scheduled game nights, so be sure to check out the schedule on the Game Night page. We're also looking for some older games, so drop by the Game Night Union to share your suggestions!
