This month's Carnival of Gamers is gathered under the big tent of Slashdot, and the watchful eye of ringmaster, Zonk.

Some favorites include VGM Watch's take on 1UP's strategy guide fiasco; PlayNoEvil's consideration of the legitimization of virtual economies; and Design Synthesis encouraging us to check out some abandonware, and appreciate the older games (I recommend Out of this World).
