In a vain effort to attribute some relevance and artistic credit to everyone's favorite pastime (blogging, duh), I've decided to compare them to the crowning achievement of a totally different medium. These blogs are like the Orson Welles...es of games. I mean blogs. About games. Or something.
 
1)  http://www.giantbomb.com/profile/video_game_king/blog/
Video Game King has mastered the art of blogging. He doesn't just pretend to blog, he IS the blog. He plays like 5 games a week. He writes blogs about these games. I don't read nearly all of them all the way through but his dedication is inspiring to generations of bloggers, all these years later. Kudos.
 
2) http://www.giantbomb.com/profile/sweep/blog/
 Though Sweep's wonder years have come and gone, he still manages to write relevant and occasionally thought-provoking blogs, as well as entertaining all of us with tales of his drunkenness. Truly, this is the age of web 2.blog.
 
3)  http://www.giantbomb.com/profile/dalai/blog/
Dalai writes like 5 blogs a week. Though not all are as substantial, this easily makes him the Samuel L Jackson of blogging: No matter what he does, his personality and voice always steal the show. Remember Phantom Menace? Remember Sam Jackson in that? Remember anything else about that movie? Thought not.
 
4) http://www.giantbomb.com/profile/lordofultima/blog/
 If you like Street Fighter, this guy has got you COVERED. Especially if you like Akuma, or Gouki as the cool kids call him. I stopped watching a long time ago, but his singular dedication to what to some is a pointless fleeting pasttime is inspiring enough to earn him the Street Fighter The Movie: The Game award.

The actual Citizen Kane of Giant Blogs does not live up to his namesake, but points for trying! And someone has to post all those funny gifs and memes!

I hardly write blogs anymore (mostly because no one reads them). and so, due to my under-appreciated genius and vision, I give myself the Jerry Seinfeld award for uselessness.

It doesn't matter if someone writes 20 blogs a week. If they lack content, then it's a waste.

I write the best blogs ever, but I don't post them anywhere. They're so awesome and brilliant that your head could explode.

That sounds dangerous! Better not post them then! I give you the Mark Hamill award for "Never appeared in anything ever! (Except Star Wars)"

Holy crap, how did I miss this? Hooray me, for being the blog, apparently.
