Comments
  • I'm speechless. All I can truly say is that I thank Gameinformer, the GIO community, and anyone else who contributed in having my blog herded. Really, I highly appreciate it.
  • What about my contest blog?

  • Bah! Someday, I will be herded!

  • I might have to take a break from blogging as I think the stress is getting to me. The brainstorming process has become to stressful(I actually banged my head on the wall to stop thinking so much)But anyway congrats to all who got herded and congrats to whoever gets herded next.

  • Congrats to those who got herded. Lots of quality posts in there. Keep up the good work guys.

  • Why didn't you herd my blog?
  • The Shootist makes some great points, and as we have chatted before about having a family and not enough time, its amazing how much stuff builds up in your collections. His backlog is like looking in the mirror, just a never-ending pile of half-finished and barely touched games from over 20 + years of gaming. Great blog man.

  • Blogs are an open feeling that can be expressed in any way, shape, or form as long as it's respectful and not set as a competition.

  • I was really hoping to get herded this week but every one of these blogs is better than mine.  It was a great week of blogs for the community.
