The Blogs ahead may be dangerous: Here, read this!
By sweep 48 Comments
It's one of those days.
I'm rushing about trying to get as much shit done as possible and somehow it's just not coming together. Still... gotta keep rollin'.There's a lot of blog spam circulating the site at the moment. Posting a blog as part of a quest may have seemed like a good idea at the time but the result is that the entire blogosphere gets completely clogged (*meaningful glance at Snide*). However do not despair! Quality content is still being written and distributed, it's just a little harder to find. A while ago I wrote a post titled: Blogs you should read but probably don't know exist. I think it's time for round 2.
Dalai | Profile | Blog
Hey look, it's a llama! No, it's just Dalai. He writes blogs constantly, it's his number one export. You should go and see what he has to say because his opinion is usually right on the money. He has also written the most blogs on the site by a considerable margin. The current count is 411, so you aren't going to run out any time soon. Which is just as well.Video_Game_King | Profile | Blog
Whilst some people sacrifice quantity for quality, Video_Game_King has somehow managed to find a compromise which allows him to write awesome blogs all the time. Each blog is packed with great info and retrospectives for an amazingly wide variety of games. Don't be intimidated by the walls of text, each blog is a fucking goldmine. VGK also has a decent sense of humor, which is harder to find than you would imagine, on the Internet.Bruce | Profile | Blog
Another fairly consistent blogger on giantbomb, Bruce tends to focus more on music than anything else. His "Song of the day" blogs have become fairly ritualistic, and his blogs and album reviews are worth checking frequently if you are searching for something new to listen to (with your ears).Emkeighcameron | Profile | Blog
A relatively new fish to the blogging scene, Emkeighcamerons blogs are currently the most educational and interesting on the site. Case in point, his most recent blog on sewage and poo. It might not be videogame-related but it's pretty interesting nonetheless. Also it's about poo, yo! I hope he maintains this blog because I will definitely keep reading it.Lordofultima | Profile | Youtube Channel | Blog
Our friendly neighborhood moderator has a flair for the fighting genre and his blogs can usually be found full of useful information and tips. His Street Fighter "3 minute fundamentals" are very informative and his blogs are just generally loaded with fighting knowledge. Worth a watch if you want to raise your game for Super Street Fighter 4.Pepsiman | Profile | Blog
Pepsi is the best source for Japanese related game news. A lover of manga, anime and Persona 4, Pepsiman writes detailed blogs on such titles as "The decline of the Japanese game industry". If that souds likely to push your relevant buttons then I recommend you go check it out.Buzz_Clik | Profile | Blog
You have probably seen Buzz floating around the Staff Photo Edit thread, in which his photoshop skills have become notorious. However his talents do not stop there, he is also a great writer. His posts are written in good humor and are lacking in pretentiousness which makes them a pleasure to read.Dankempster | Profile | Blog
Dank is another one of those great writers which seems to be criminally overlooked in the giantbomb community. He is taking a short break from blogging at the moment but I eagerly await his return as his blogs are, I believe, the most alarmingly honest and entertaining on the site. Dankempster manages to successfully communicate all the things I clumsily fail to articulate with my own writing. Stay tuned, he will be back soon...And of course ZombiePie is constantly updating the community spotlight with great blogs and other community created content and his thread is worth keeping an eye on if you are searching for something interesting to read.
I don't need to forward you to my own blog because you are already reading it. You can't unread it! Hah!
Thanks For Reading
Love Sweep
