Upcoming Games ()
Hello, 'Shroom readers, and welcome to the August Issue!

The last few weeks have seen a rise in Nintendo news, especially due to a fall in the 3DS's price. And before you think the early adopters got ripped off by Nintendo, the Japanese company decided to reward those loyal fans by giving them the opportunity to sign up for the...

Tip of the Month ()
Tip of the Month: Work together with others on large projects for games that are older. If you can find a group of users who have a game that needs its information filled in, you can all work together on it and it will take less time than if one user did it alone.

Anniversary Announcements ()
The awards show was held this Friday! Thanks to all the presenters, you guys were great. The Mafia game is still going (at least it was at the time this was written) and you can check in here to see what's going on with the Super Smash Bros. Brawl tournament.

There isn't a whole lot about the Awards in this month's section because it was written before the ceremony. Fear not, next month's issue will include lots of special sections related to the awards.

Forum Update ()
The Awards ceremony took place on August 12. To make it the highlight of the day, the Mario Awards V board was upgraded from a Child Board to a Main Board and placed at the top of the forum.

Stooben's Mafia game is finally over. Somebody should've revived me. The Aliens, MCD, QuizmoManiac, Phantoms, Lario, Tucayo and Mijzelffan won. Lario, Tucky and Mij were the first three to win and Quizmo was next.
