So after being both shocked and appalled at the number of people who had never played Sam and Max after hearing Rev. Anthony's Rant I started storming around shouting things like "Damn kids and their three dee vidja games! Don't they know how to point and click anymore? It's all shoot this, shoot that!" Then I wove my cane in the air, lost my balance and fell over.

But this was fated because I fell over and hit my head on the Wii and I thought to myself, "Jeeze Cowzilla3, you're being terribly hypocritical considering you hadn't played Super Metroid until a few months ago. Oh and whats that over there? Its your copy of Secret of Mana you've also never played. Aren't these classics? Why haven't you played them." Then I sat up and after having a vision of a flux capacitor and scribbling that down I thought I should do something about this. So I'm going to educate myself. One game a month (hopefully) and I'd like everyone to join in. It doesn't matter if you've played the game before, it'll be a fun chance to play through it again with a group of people.

Bascially, and I'm still ironing some stuff out in my head, I'll choose a game every month. Kind of like a book of the month club. It'll be a game everyone who considers themselves "hardcore" should have played at some point. Then anyone who wants to join in the "Educate Yourself: Game of the Month Club" can procure a version of the game and play through it. At the end of the month you can do a post on it (I will be doing a recap blog at the end of the month) and we can all have a rousing discussion. Also I hope to work it out with Snaileb so that once a month part of FNF will be playing this game (if it's single player we'll just IRC or stickam or Vent or skype or whatever).

Thirdly, and this is huge for me since as you can see from my ranking I've never ever commented in the forums, I'll start a forum post to discuss the greatness or not so greatness of the game during the month. I'll recap what happened in it in my blog post but it'll be a good way to get help, talk about something you really liked or just post memes. This will start int he beggining of March once I've chosen the first game and recommendations are always welcome. Maybe I'll be the only one doing it and if so that is fine at least I'll be educating myself and will be semi-forced to play these games. If you've got any suggestions post em up. Hopefully we can all get some great gaming in together.

So how about it? Anybody else interested? Better header image is forthcoming.
