Browsing around this great website, I stumbled on some notable blogs that I'd like to share with you. They are in no particular order, and all fairly biased opinions, so feel free to comment below and tell me what a huge idiot I am, as long as you provide links to blogs you think are better. G'ahead, I dare ya.

"HS21's Adventures in Being a Private Eye
" Drops of water assaulted my window, there was a storm raging outside and it was wetter than a teenage girl on the opening night of a Twilight movie. Six months, six goddamn months of sitting behind my desk, waiting for a case that never comes. I'd given up on looking forward to a job landing right on my lap, the only thing I did look forward to anymore was a hot cup of chocolate delivered to my office by my secretary. I can never call her that in person though, mother said that that's "Fucking stupid" and proceeded to splash me in the face with the mug of hot chocolate still in her hand. Shit was hot." (
HS21's pros continue to awe and astound me, and to find such a beautifully written paragraph on this (at times) troll-ridden website gives me hope for the future. If you're looking for low-brow, back-water humor, keep moving. But if it's fine wit and satire you desire, indulge your senses with some blogs by HS21.Sweep's Keeping it Simple
"I don't know how we made it to Friday. I have lost and regained my faith in humanity on an almost daily basis. But let's not talk of such darkness. Let's keep it simple..."
How can I write a "Best of" without Sweep? Since about a month into GB's budding existence, Sweep has been known as THE Blogger. And perhaps his most endearing quality, is that he constantly tries to shine the light away from him and onto other bloggers. So why did I chose these 4 lines from his hundreds (if not thousands) of blogs? Because in a way, it sums up the GB community. Simple people who with one sentence can betray and humiliate you, and then in the next, validate and befriend you. So while Sweep is on Haitus, go read some of his older blogs, and feel the love. Rowr's 2008 Goaty Awards
Some of you may remember Rowr from back in the good ol' days, when IRC was thriving, and every "How are YOU?" thread was getting spammed and then closed, or maybe you know him from his playful yet informative blogs. Blogs that have been scarcer and scarcer these days. "Why?" you ask, "Why should such talent be ripped from our community? Why the silence, Rowr?" Well I'll tell you why, he went and got some lousy girlfriend and a 12 hour job and now has no time for such frivolities as make believe podcasts and watermelon-head profile pictures. Maybe some day he'll return and grace the blogosphere with his presence. Until then, we can only dream.Matt Bodega's Kessler Kam
Zombie Pie's Community Spotlight
I can't really take an excerpt from this blog. I mean, I COULD, but it would either confuse or bore you. So let me summarize: This is where you go when you want to know what's up in the community. If Matty B is the undercover agent for revealing what the staff is up to, Zombie Pie is the historian who chronicles all the cool stuff that's happening under your nose.JJWeatherman's Cloudy with a Chance of Gaming
"Welcome to Bright Falls. / Is that a giant deer float? / Where’s it’s lucha mask?"
You've got that essaydue/mathquiz/powerpoint/work in the morning, and you've told yourself NO VIDEOGAMEZ TIL I FINISH. But you find yourself on giantbomb procrastinating anyway. Where do you go? To JJWeatherman, for some good old fashioned critiques and reviews that don't make you want to punch the writer in the face. Maybe you're not like me and have never had the urge to punch a blogwriter in the face, but chances are the thought has crossed your mind. Have no fear, for JJWeatherman's Cloudy with a Chance of Gaming episodes are intriguing and (genearlly) as non-biased as this community gets.Marino's PAX Guide to PAX
"Don't Be a Dick".
PAX just ended, but it's never too early to start planning for next year, and what better way to get ready than with the internet! Marino lays it all out for you with his PAX Guide to PAX, and the best thing about it, is that it's timeless. With such advice as "Shower Every Day" and "Don't Be a Dick ", one could potentially use this as a "Guide for Doing Anything in Public", not just PAX.edit:

TMTDNR.That's my 2 cents. But the photo of the rocket bear was pretty classy.
