Returning for one night only!
We are pleased to announce a Live Radio Trivia Special taking place on Friday, 17 September at 7pm Pacific. Join us for great music, interactive discussions, and the chance to win a prize. Longtime readers will be familiar with the format.
The links for the live stream are below, alternatively use the embedded player (right). The streams will not be live until the start time, so use our NWR Radio links if you wish to test that you will hear us.

Also, make sure that you're able to connect to our chat room.
The rules are simple.
We will play three tracks from a game that has been released in North America on a Nintendo platform. Guesses consisting of the game title are to be sent by PM in our chat room to the nominated host at any point until after the final song is over, when the host will give a one minute warning before submissions will not be counted.
The first guess counts. However, if no one gets the game correct on their first guess, then second guesses will be counted for points, and so forth. This means that it is best to wait until you are sure of the answer before you make a guess, but if you realise that you're wrong, go ahead and message with your new answer. Everyone who guesses correctly within the "guess limit" scores one point.
Songs will be followed by a bonus question relating to the game. The first person to answer this in the public chat room scores one point.
Three tracks each from four games will be played in total, followed by one bonus track where the North American release rule doesn't apply. In the event of a tie, sudden death will be in effect with single tracks from Nintendo platform games played until one player is unable to answer while the other gives a correct answer.
The winner will receive this Metroid goody bag and two Metroid Metal CDs!
The prize!

More prizes!
Metroid Metal have kindly offered a copy of each of their Metroid CDs, Varia Suite and Expansion Pack to the first prize winner. The winner will have a choice of either the CDs or a download redemption code. The group has been creating their own versions of tracks from the Metroid series since 2003. They recently performed live at PAX 2010. Their songs are available for download on their website, with higher quality mp3s and CDs for purchase in their store. So please check them out for more great game music!
But don't worry, so that no one misses out, anyone who submits the secret phrase, to be revealed on air at the end of the live competition, through our contest form will be put into a random draw for a sealed copy of Metroid Prime Pinball.
