Already at a hundred comments within a few hours. Suck it bitches!

I tend to wright whatever, but I just wrote a new blog. This initiative partly encouraged me to do that.

Sweep I blame you for me unleashing this upon the forums...just so you know. I wrote a blog about Foals (the band, not the animal).

@Sweep: Does a blog have to be entirely in a textual form? Because myself and 3 other duders run this podcast and I was considering posting it up weekly as a blog post, rather than using our old old thread to post updates...

(It does include an embedded streamable version of the latest cast, as well as download links for the prior episodes and information on how to find us on iTunes! Oh and a pretty sweet description. If I do I weekly thing I'd probably be persuaded to add little commentaries for each episode's content too.)

Sounds like a pretty cool idea.

I actually wrote my first blog today. Although, in retrospect, it's probably just a lot of me rambling.

Hoping to update more frequently from here on out.

Ykno what? You're right. I'm starting a blog. I just started it, and I'm gonna do what I can, but the least I can do is try and be a part of this worthwhile effort.

I love you Sweep. I always have.

I've got an idea for a blog entry about a writer's perspective, so watch out for that.

The featured blogs section has already earned two people a new follower :)

Don't expect an update today either. He's at work all day, and then he'll be playing Gears 3 all evening/night.

You'd better believe it.

Enjoy it. I'm going to be getting down on some Diablo 3!

Maybe I will actually do what I talked about with my friends where I grab games I got from those Gamestop bargain bin graveyards and playing them for awhile. Some of the games might actually be kinda fun.

Ok so here is Part II of my blog series informing you of why the N64 is so great.

I also got over 700 views and 60 comments on the first one thanks guys!

New member, new blog: 'Currently Playing'. A project to play, complete and review my favourite games that are going to be released this year. Check out the post for more details, and stay tuned!

Just for fun I went through GameStop's latest annual financial statements and cherry picked the interesting bits and posted them up in my blog. I'm figuring some of these numbers could be used to make more informative decisions about the corporation.

Spoilers. They made over $400 million dollars last fiscal year.

@Sweep: *Ahem* I'll just leave this here...

Well there's this

I AM BACK FROM EUROGAMER

I will update the OP tomorrow morning with many days worth of featured blogs to compensate for my absence.

@Sweep:

Could I "borrow" this concept for Screened? I'm sure there'd be some people interested in participating in it. I know someone who could make a banner for us so that's not a problem. I really think we could benefit from having some more blogs over there as we have plenty of forum activity, just not very much blogging.

Damn, didn't realize it had been so long since I wrote a blog. Here's a new one based on the TestYourself "game" addon.

I'm about to embark on a stupid and amazing quest...

Had to kill my Atlus work blog a little while back, but I still plan on doing a personal blog, probably about my enormous backlog of 100+ unplayed games (damn you, Steam!). 
 
Anyway, thanks for doing this,  @Sweep. I have actual motivation now!

I contributed! I feel happy.

Totally forgot posting this since I was busy with Gears of War 3, but I made a blog about the music in Lord of the Rings Online.

I want to blog... am I doing this right?

Should I be creating incredibly inane and ridiculous blogs that are just there to create comments and views so that I can be popular?

Kotaku is popular so i thought I might as well do what they are doing.

New entry of [insert title] has been posted. Featured games include NOLF, System Shock, Paper Mario, and Goldeneye 007.

Identifying difficulty in games.

your way to this or that, or a to b for me.

As promised, here is the first part of Through a Writer's Eyes

With Sweep being super busy in the world of employment, I'll be taking over the featuring of blogs for the blog initiative, so direct any questions, comments or complaints towards me. I'll try not to fuck this up, but no promises.

What have I done....

"Face palm"

I just use blogs to share random thoughts, akin to thinking out loud while online. Too many haters and console-tards on this site to care what they think about them, but every once in a while I get some thanks from influential people who enjoy my brand of humor so the blog train rolls on.

I wrote another music blog. I'm a right diverse prick I am!

http://www.giantbomb.com/forums/off-topic/31/hey-you-should-check-out-this-band-warpaint-edition/516281/#1

I used to do a From Bronze to Gold Blog about SC2, but I kind of just stopped. Maybe someday I'll start it again.

@MattyFTM: I guess I'll repost this then since Sweep is gone. Here.

@Sweep: SWEEP I NEED YOU TO CONVINCE ME TO WRITE A BLOG! I need to train myself in ce egnlish so i can be the good at them.

Here is a blog I did about all the content I do. http://www.giantbomb.com/profile/mixedupzombies/life-in-the-blacklight-1-a-new-day-rises/30-86550/

@MattyFTM: You're the boss man, so here's my blog about how players affect the narrative of games through gameplay concerns. It's as convoluted and dry as it sounds!

I did a blog where I complained that games this year weren't as unique as AP or Nier.

@Sweep: You smell funny.

I'll create a blog for this initiative this week, I promise. <3

IGN have stole my N64 feature blog idea...
