The lights are on
Holy Cow on a pogo stick its Warbuff. Hey everybody, long time no blog. I've got a few topics to touch base on.
First things first. I am not a moderator here at GIO. Looks can be decieving; I know. The short of it is no one knows how I came upon moderator status. The appropriate people at Game Informer are aware of what happened but, so long as I behave myself, fixing it is low priority. With great power comes the need to not use it... ever.
Second item on my list is Frag Fest. If you've never heard of the Frag Fest, I'm not surprised. If you do, feel free to skip ahead. The Frag Fest is a psuedo monthly gathering of GIO community members to wage digital war in the name of great justice. Eyros2k has been the Man heading up the organization and planning of the frag fest since its inception last November. In general he picks a game, date and time to play. Folks leave comments on his blog with their gamertag in order to sign up. On gameday we form a big happy party, play and Eyros2k records the entire shebang with his HD capture machine.
Most recently Eyros2k was able to get an officail group created here at GIO. If you'd like to make sure you're in for the next event head over to the group and join it. GO THERE NOW!
The next frag fest is currently in limbo. The last few months we've seen a steady decline in attendance. I'll spare you the excuses but I will share my current plan. Create a short list of the most popular games on 360 and PS3 then ask the masses to vote. If that fails we will have a frag fest melee. I'll explain what that is if we come to it.
Last and certainly least, user reviews. If the opening sentence to this blog didn't clue you in, I haven't been excessively active the last few months. From time to time I pop into the blog section, leave a few comments then ghost like Swazy. Something I've noticed each time is the presence of reviews. ***DISCLAIMER*** I am not telling you what you can or can't blog about. ***END DISCLAIMER*** In case you aren't aware every game that has its own page here at GIO has its own user review section. Open your profile in another tab. Do see on the black bar above your name where it says reviews? If you have a review of a game, consider submitting it to the user reviews for that game. I'll reiterate, do whatever your heart desires. I'm just sharing info with fellow community members.
That's all from me for now. If you could please take the time now and tell me what game(s) past, present, future that would get you to attend a frag fest I'd greatly appreciate it.
I will never ever ever post in the review section again.
I find using my blog for reviews to be better, because I tend to review beyond the scope of what the User Review section covers. Not only that, I review to inform people what I think about a game. Whether I think it's a worthy purchase, regardless of how old or new it is. I don't find people paying as much attention to that section as I do the blogging section. If I want to fulfill my goal to inform, I need to go where most of the people are.
Haha I always assumed you were a mod.
