On 01/26/12 at 8PM PST the A-Gamer Gear store will be closed pending official review and outcome. We would rather shut the store on our own than have a civil suit shut it down for us. Once the Slogan Contest is complete a new version of the logo incorporating our current orange block and “A” will start the A-Gamer gear store back up. So in short if you want an a-gamer game titled shirt buy it before Thursday at 8pm PST. They may not make the final cut to the new store front.

In a world as big as Skyrim’s, it’s incredibly easy to lose your way and forget exactly what you’ve done where. Enter Dragon Shout.

The free universal app is a well-designed record keeper for players of Skyrim. For full details check out the official app page.

*EDIT* The app was just updated so you can add friends to your party, share markers, and have in app chat. The features do cost $0.99. I’m starting to question the usefulness of this app. I can already look up anything about Skyrim on my phone. -Mandalore

See how many of the sound effects you can recognize and put to game titles. I got quite a few. Shout out to the OG gamers like myself. Thought I would share with all my buds here on A-Gamer…enjoy!

Alright, for all of you who missed the last impromtu frag night here’s another chance.  Myself and hopefully Miked3390 will be killin grubs.  Of course Mike may not make it cause he has a new baby coming (AWESOME!).  I know Cougar has put it on his calendar and I’m hoping you guys will to.  We will be on Dec 6.  I will try and be on by 5pm PST to catch Gen Thomas and a few more of our boys living on the EEEEEAST SIIIIDE (gangsta speak)!  If you haven’t already done so, download the free dedicated server and 4 map pack from Xbox Live.  Check out Cougar’s link for the download.

B.E.
