CblogRecaps | 10:07 PM on 08.16.2009 9 comments



I'm not sure if anyone has noticed, but I haven't been writing many cblogs the last month or so. I've posted a random one here or there, and of course I still do the cblog recaps every weekend, but besides that I have pretty much been dormant. So far I haven't told many people why, but I'm finally ready to divulge the reasoning behind my absence as of late.

The reason I haven't been writing much in the cblogs lately is because about a month ago I got hired on to be a Writer at GamerLimit.com. For those of you who don't know, Gamer Limit is a newer gaming website run by our very own Magnalon. The website's goal is to "to provide unique, exclusive, relevant and expert coverage of the gaming industry, including insight on the inner and outer workings from developers and key figures at large."

As a writer for the site, I provide everything from news stories, to editorials and reviews. Right now I've mainly concentrated on writing editorials and opinion pieces, but I hope to start reviewing more games in the near future. The only game I've reviewed so far is Shatter for the PS3, but next week I'll be posting a review for Shadow Complex. If you are interested you should look for that. I write under my real name, which is Shawn Evans, if anyone is interested.

Unfortunately writing for Gamer Limit means I don't get to spend as much time writing for the cblogs, but I still plan on trying to squeek out a new blog every once in a while. I'll at least keep up my "Guess the Game Brain Teaser" series I've been doing the last couple months, and of course you'll get my weekend cblogs recaps every week. Everyone seemed to enjoy those posts. So now you know where I've been. Please feel free to come by and visit the site sometime and see what it's all about. There are some really great writers there who are all really passionate about games. It's really a winning combination.

Ok, enough about me .... now onto the weekend recaps. If you want a good laugh you should check out the "Failtoid" section.

Oh man, another interesting site that I probably won't be able to keep up to date on since I already have a million of those already. But nice job getting a spot on that site, and hopefully, I'll be able to read something from you from time to time.

Hurrah for recaps, failtoids and all.

So you're Shawn Evans then.

That's a lot of fail. Thanks for wading through all that and thanks for the recaps.
