This is blog #500!
Huzzahs, hoorahs, fanfare, and all that jazz. And to think it all started with a thank you to the staff. So why the fuck not? Let's do that again!I'd like to thank some people before moving on to other business. First, a thank you to the Giant Bomb staff and all the folks at Whiskey Media for creating one hell of a great conglomerate of websites, especially Giant Bomb where I and thousands of people around the universe call our internet home. And while I sometimes find myself at odds with some of the opinions here, the staff always makes it entertaining and even a bit silly. I mean, it's only video games. Second, a thank you to the thousands of comments from the hundreds who have read at least one of my contributions to this blog. I may not be the most popular blogger... or the sexiest... but as long as you keep reading, I'll keep typing. I had the courage to look back at some of my old material which contains some relatively short blogs even by my standards with comments from Giant Bomb members who have long since passed away. It's a little strange to see the earliest blogs with literally 0 comments (and even less content) but hopefully those days are long gone. And third, I would like to thank myself... because I'm just so damn awesome.

Where to go from here?
This blog is something that's been maturing and fermenting since July 21, 2008 and at this time, I have no plans to stop. I may not spam blog 5 days a week anymore, but I still manage to bitch or praise something every other day. I shall keep going and you can join me... or not. I'd probably still be ranting about Nintendo games or tell the story of a Steam sale gone awry or how older games are amazing, but it's nice to know somebody out there is interested in what some dude from Pennsylvania has to say.Thanks for reading, Claude! And thanks for adding this to the Community Spotlight, ZombiePie.
There, now he HAS to do it!
Update: they fixed the image and video posting, but still no full body imagery.
