Howdy everyone reading this thing! I'm getting a lot of comments and postings on my wall and comments and ims and I just don't have the time to respond to each and every one of them. SO! Some quick responses to the two most often posted questions.

• Yes, this job is awesome, if that wasn't apparent by now. While it's been very fun for me so far, since the site launched it's been on a whole other level. 25,000 submissions in less than 48 hours. Almost 11,500 registered users. You guys are simultaneously crazy and amazing in your love of gaming, and it's just pure fun to handle your submissions, despite the voluminous, oceanic amount of content that's been dropped on the site.
  
  
• People keep asking me how I got the job. I met Ryan at Will Wright's presentation during the GDC earlier this year. I followed up with him after the show through email and he eventually offered me the internship. Obviously, I jumped at the chance to work with Ryan and Jeff (and later Brad and Vinny!). My career goals at the moment revolve around video game journalism, so you can imagine the opportunity this job presents.
  

That's it for now! In the minute or two it took me to write the above I'm sure another several hundred submissions were added, so I'm going to go back to doing that.

Here's my first blog post! I'm testing the system, you see.

So, with the recent announcement that FFXIII would be coming to the 360, I now have one less reason to actually consider getting a PS3. You see, while my platform of choice is and always will be the PC, I'm an equal opportunity gamer, and thus I make it my business (hopefully soon that will be in the literal sense, not just the figurative) to own every major platform on the market. I've got 'em all, except for a PS3, and there just isn't enough reason for me to buy one as of yet, not with the price sticking to $400 throughout this year and the next. 80 gigs for $400? That's not a value at all. My intentions were to always stick a 500+gig drive in that thing to begin with! Gigs are priced like candy these days.

Images work pretty damn well!

So, while some people strangely see the release of Final Fantasy XIII on the Xbox 360 equating the end times, I certainly don't. Here's a large image to test the blog's image functionality:

















 It just gives me one less reason to want a PS3. On the other hand, Resistance 2, Killzone 2, flOwer, and some other junk is looking pretty neat, and what with Sony releasing some PS3 games for a mere $30, not really something I should miss out on. Eh, I'll get one sometime.
