Hello my lovely dtoiders! <3

I hope everyone has been enjoying their spring so far! Aside from my continuing lack of motivation on the job hunt side, I've been having a blast. Been going to the gym a lot, volunteering more... pretty much doing things I never did when I had a job due to lack of time or motivation. And of course I've been playing lots of games.

After realizing that another Dtoider actually lives near me, I finally met up with Mr. Chewie and Volkarin (who is visiting), and am proud to declare the inaugural Dtoid Fredericton narp a complete success! Pizza was consumed, and much Bomberman Live, SFIV, and EDF 2017 was played, with a CPU that looked suspiciously like Knives destroying us in the former.

Now if you'll excuse me, I need to continue to get excited for PAX East.

PAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAX!

Hey guys I’m ba....OH GOD WHAT HAPPENED!?!

I was only gone for two weeks. Ugh...there’s blood everywhere, it’s like everybody was celebrating the anniversary and then something horrible happened, it just like Rapture! The only bloggers who survived have gone out of their minds and are ranting insanely about pokemon and I think I just saw Hamza crawling across the ceiling like a spider splicer. Why is the number 4 scrawled all over these pictures of Jim? WHAT HAPPENED HERE?!?

Also thanks for the recaps!

With thanks for the recaps, I don't think 'xandaca explains how logic makes a game accessible' explains the subject of my blog very well. It's actually about how motion controls can help non-gamers overcome the difficulties of existing 'gaming logic' in crossing to more complex, traditional experiences. Not easy to sum up, but I don't think your line gave a fair reflection of what I was trying to say (whether successfully or not).

Thanks for caps as always. Question, though. If you're particularly proud of an article is there any formal way to submit said article to be considered for the front page?

Pretty fond of this one I just pushed out and I think it's got a good message to it.

@xandaca
Fair enough, I'll give the article another read and adjust it. :)

@Wry Guy
The recap team has talked about that before, and iirc every cblog is looked at by staff so if it has front page potential it will be seen.

If you really want though I would guess messaging our lovely community manager Hamza about it, although personally I'd rank that up there with fapping to your own cblog... which means it'd be lame if you did it. :P

@Scotty: Thus my asking for a formal method, not wanting to bother Hamza. Sure thing.
