1. How do I get in on the action?
It is important to join the chat room so staff and GameSpotters can communicate with all of you. If you cannot remain in chat, exit and return once you want to play another match. We'll open the chatroom between 3 and 3:30pm PT on the day of game night.
2. I am from another country and timezone other than California time (Pacific Time). What time is that for me?
http://www.timezoneconverter.com/cgi-bin/tzc.tzc. If you want to be extra tech savvy and you use Firefox, download the foxclocks application to monitor your timezone versus other timezones.
3. What mode will we be playing?
TBD
4. Why this game? Why not another one?
We wanted a nice change to the racing genre!
5. Can I drop by late to participate in game night?
Of course! Why not?
6. What GameSpot folks will I be playing with?
Jody so far. We'll see if some of the other editors will stop by as well.
7. Who are the game hosts?
TBD
8. You mentioned something about "bounties" in the Game Night FAQ. What is up with that?
Every week, a player that meets the bounty requirement will get to take part in a grudge match later in the year against other bounty hunters. That match will take place on a game that pretty much anyone can play, such as a free bowling game, or some other such frivolity. The winner of the Grudge Match will receive a special emblem in his or her profile. Other emblems may also be awarded to players based on performance, wins, or other criteria.
9. What's this week's bounty requirement?
The non-scientific method: the player GameSpot staff feels kicked their butts the most.
10. I am totally the best, and you know it. What if you give the emblem to some other dude, even if I know I am better?
It's the staff call on who becomes the MVP for the week.
11. So, do I have a good chance of kicking GameSpot butt?
Of course you do! There has got to be a game that we stink at.
12. Do I get an emblem for playing?
The only emblem goes to the bounty winner(s). It's next to impossible for staff to keep up with who enters the server and who doesn't. Besides, isn't gloating over GameSpot Staff a great reward?
13. Anything else I need to consider?
Depending on the platform we may also be using voice chat. Be sure to have your microphone handy!
14. What's with the orange text?
We may update the orange text again so check back for updates.
15. Where should I report my game night experience?
The game has a way to record the matches, take screenshots and post your reactions to came night in this board. Someone may use the information and post it in the game night report hread that will be created after game night is over.
