Monthly Musing: Aaamaazing! photo

In all the chaos of Faxtoid, you may have missed the Monthly Musing assignment that was posted. In case you did, or if you've already forgotten what this month's topic was, I'm reposting it for you! Now you have no excuse not to write a blog this month.

For April, your job is to write about a time you were really blown away by a game. Not just in a "Wow, this is kinda cool" sense, but rather an where you were honestly astonished and amazed by what you were playing. You can write about any game, any aspect of that game, and any personal experience, as long as it's about your amazement and why you felt it was such a marvel.

To participate, just click on your blog up there in the upper right of the screen, go to "Post A Blog", title your post "Aaamaazing: WhateverYourTitleIs", make sure you pick the "Monthly Musing" from the tag list (this is important!), write it up, and set it live. If your article is particularly well-written or sparks interesting discussion, we'll stick it up on the front page!

When I started up La-Mulana for the first time, the opening of the BGM for the first field blew me away. I knew I was in for a good time after that.

Ha. The most I was blown away by a game was when I was a kid playing Atari. "Frogger" was awesome. Also loved the car racing games and ended up being an automotive blogger, lol.

Love the site.
