As a media & technology analyst I've tried to look at games as more than just entertainment devices. To get to the root, one could say, of how video games and the modern media surrounding them effects who we are, how we feel, and our future.
Sadly, that is a waste of time. But come on! We've got nothing better to do on this rotating ball of dirt.
I'm Nick. I'm not shy about what I think. And I'd like to spill it here. I'll try to give you some interesting guts and insight into the industry, and surrounding media. No promises tho, sometimes the pond is too shallow.
I've been gaming sense I was knee-high to a magazine rack reaching for EGM. I grew up games. Where the generation before me might have honored brands like MTV and bands like Flock of Seagulls I worship Gods named Xbox, Playstation, and We Might Be Giants. It's left me... a little fucked up to be honest. But it is who I am, and who we are.
So. Pull up a chair. Check your batteries. Oh. And pass the caffeine supplement drink of choice.

Old news is old but...
old comments are old too! :P
In most cases I would agree with you, but the same thing was posted about five blogs down.
Maybe if it was further down, but come on, it's practically right there.
I get you, but what if Nicholie is a slow typist and it took fifteen minutes to write this story (and dvddesign's post wasn't up when it was started)? I'm joking, but I see this a lot in the cblogs ("This was already posted, stupidface!"), and it's discouraging to cbloggers. It seems like an attack, even if it wasn't intended that way.
Anyhow, carry on. :D
Why am I arguing about this? I have important, groundbreaking front page stories to write. Haha. I'm just sayin' is all.
I do not give a fuck. However, I apologize anyway.
Did I mention there's a new NiN album out?
I love you
I feel what you're saying, and we have a similar issue on the main page (ie, a preview piece someone worked on for six hours will get bumped off the main page within hours). The software we use is growing, so that's going to change on the main page and in the cblogs eventually.
Still, this isn't a message board -- everyone has his or her own blogs, and they're free to post on whatever subject (within reason) they see fit, even if it's already been posted.
Wait, why am I still talking about this? I have diseases to cure.
...I was trying to be nice too. :(
Not at all, I actually got this data from Digg
Yea know, a site OTHER than DToid. Gasp, i've committed adultery!
