Yeah seriously thanks for including another of my blogs in here but my Shooter blog wasn't great. Put up 2 since then that have much more enthusiasm/better reads. On Infamous: Festival of Blood and Yakuza 4. Thanks again duder.

As much I love Sweep's suggestion I don't expect seeing anything like that happening for a while but it's understandable why.

Also I'm not sure if I'm supposed to put my suggestions for the next spotlight here soo ehh...I'll just leave this suggestion here...

Great work, ZombiePie! I humbly submit the new concept page for Gender Recasting in the next update. The community had a pretty good discussion that led to its creation.

So I did some writing this week. Gave my thoughts about Chrono Cross and wrote a review of ACIII. Would be awesome if they could be featured next week!

Thanks for the mention, Zombie!

@ZombiePie: Oh that's not what I meant at all. My blog was meant to fly under the radar this time! :)
I was talking about how I should probably put some effort in and get on this list again with blogs that are worth while, but thanks!

@ZombiePie: Yeah, well... my blog has 100% more MS Paint squiggles. Check and Mate.

Also I noticed and I got Jingle Cats'd this week, which is an accolade of sorts. Maybe.

Fine, Pepsiman's was the best blog this week. I would be pleased to see some results of Sweep's soapbox rantings about a new blog presentation system as well. Sounds like it might be a bountiful content delivery method, trebly so if it allows for new reviews and lists.

"Pepsiman takes the cake" is probably a little too flattering for that Catherine post since it's gotten a very interestingly mixed reception (and I mean that in a good way), but the bump on here is always appreciated, good sir.

Regardless of popular reception no one else put that much thought into their blog last week as much as you did.

Any other week, I'd probably be offended by that. But given that my latest blog barely clocked in at over 1000 words, I'm letting it pass.

Little ego trip here but I miss seeing my name on the list! Still love that you do these, they're amazing to stay up to date with the forum when I'm not able to check it everyday.

My bad, I totally missed you blog this week.

I just want to point out that Riders of Rohan review in particular. That was a great, exhaustive look at the pros and cons of that expansion pack.

Probably not, given (what amounts to) the competition.

ArbitraryWater is the single and solitary list this week but it's no slouch as ArbitraryWater numbered the old-school Resident Evil games according to which ones he liked the most.
