Cblogs of 9-16-08 + a SPECIAL DESTRUCTOID message JUST FOR YOU.
Y0j1mb0 | 11:18 PM on 09.16.2008 30 comments




Hello, Destructoid. How are you? Myself? Fine... dandy even, but there is something that's been nagging me lately. What is that you ask? Simple. You aren't blogging. It seems lately people aren't wooing us with their two cents worth in our fine Cblog community. There's been a drop off of blog creating lately that while some may believe equates to less fail blogs, coincidentally it also equals to less quality ones as well.

There are many many reasons why Destructoid as a whole is pure awesome, from the informative and yes, hilarious forums: Here's a shout out to Serpentish, to the unique take on the surplus of daily game news & reviews by our esteemed editors, it's easy to overlook the major contributions done by YOU. You are the blood of Destructoid, whether old or new, that flow through its veins.

Don't be put off from blogging by shyness, fear of rejection, or any other self imposed reason. This isn't some cadre of elite gamers that fancy themselves the end all and be all of game blogging. There's plenty of that elsewhere. This is Destructoid and you people, whether members forever or lurkers hidden in shadow enjoying our site incognito, need to do more of one thing...

BLOG.


Also, In an unrelated note: Firmware 2.43 is ready to download for your PS3

Thanks for posting Mr. Sadistic's comment again; I dunno how I missed that one.

I also encourage people to blog; there's so much news moving through the front page that half the time I only catch some of it through c-blogs anyway.

Also, yay! Thanks for putting me in your picks. I got rid of the link to the other side cuz I didn't want people to see it as me promoting the other blog; I just wanted some feedback on what I wrote from people here (and I got some good stuff from you D-toiders, woot).

sigh I'm becoming over-rated

I would blog, but your epic Andy Rooney-esque rants are discouraging me. That and I can't make one blog without swearing in it.

Great job, I love you.

You should totally blog, even if I've been slacking on my blogging lately.

Y0j1mb0, I should let you know -- PS3 firmware v2.43 DOES NOT APPLY to anybody but Japanese PS3 owners.

I used to blog. Then I stopped for some reason, even though people loved me. Then I met Destructoid peeps at Comic Con and vowed to blog again, because everyone was awesome. I wrote a few, then stopped. I'm a terrible person.

I've not been blogging regularly due to my new schedule and wanting to have everything written somewhat well. I'm not professional journalist or blogger, if I was I'd be writing about more old games.

One thing that's stopping me from writing is that I like to play the game's that I'm writing about. As anyone who knows, old school games aren't as easy as these new ones. I just don't have the time lately like I did two weeks ago to play and write about another game every day.

I've a Mega Man 2 article almost ready. I've a few other games in mind, its just that whatever free time I have I'm playing games. I do make time for things I'm committed to doing for Destructoid, like my cblog recaps, but no ones really foaming at the mouth for me to write about Rock & Roll Racing or some other game. I've no real motivation to do it other than a few Destructoid members leaving me a comment that shares a similar opinion or offers a counter to my thoughts on a game.

Putting together a cblog recap is much appreciated Yojimbo. Great job with this one and your opening statement. You do a lot of good work within the Destructoid community.

I would blog more, but I don't always have things worth blogging about. I am wanting to do a blog on some of the video game/music related toys I have but I am at school right now so it's hard for me to take pictures of these things. I guess I could just use the product pictures of them, but that wouldn't be the same to me.

I have dropped off a bit I must say, but every so often I just get too many dick heads abusing me in the comments so I ususally stop for a few weeks, but hey I'll never stop completely.

I tried to blog last weekend to give away something but I was drunk so I couldn't get it to work.

I was surprised when I was recappin' the other day; there were barely any blogs! The fail blogs were from new people, and as a personal rule I won't fail them if they're new.

But I'm guilty as charged too. I need to start writing again. I'm too busy playing games :)

Yeah, recapping is simpler as everyone's blogging less. Freaking get the lead out people.

I don't blog that often because I'm lazy. I'm so lazy I'm not even going to bother saying thanks for the recaps or put punctuation at the end of this sentence

Its just, if I write about R.A.D, ZOE2, X-COM, or SSX3 again, everyone will start to realize I'm just a hack tuba player that played game non stop in college! :D
