anosou Posted February 24, 2009 Posted February 24, 2009 Blogs are not cool anymore and thus they're retro which makes them cool. I'm always interested in reading subjective views on whatever by community members so I thought I'd make this post for people to share blogs. I've been using Netvibes.com more and more and would love some more RSS feeds to watch during times I should work/study/sleep. Game related blogs are a dime a dussin but I've found that most are very influenced by gaming media or such.. The more individual and independent gamers writing about games the better. Hopefully it will lead to news and reviews from people with other standards/preferences/background than professional gaming media. Short Version: So, main point, if you've got a blog you should post it here and I'll keep a list! Exchanging information, no matter how subjective, is always good.

Archaon Posted February 24, 2009 Posted February 24, 2009 http://noreload.blogspot.com/ First thing you're likely to notice is that it's been something like eight months since I updated this sucker. All being well, though, it's going to get resurrected in the near future. Watch this space. Quote
Skummel Maske Posted February 24, 2009 Posted February 24, 2009 http://velakhar.blogspot.com I still update more or less regularily. I try my best not to write your average "today I ate a sandwitch. It was good." type of blog. Quote
anosou Posted February 24, 2009 Author Posted February 24, 2009 hmm.. Should I add all blogs posted to the first post in an oh-so-handy list in this format: Forum user name - blog url ? Quote
Kanthos Posted February 24, 2009 Posted February 24, 2009 Mine's linked in my signature: http://mjchase.wordpress.com. I don't update as often as I should, largely because I avoid the type of posts that are better used for twitter and facebook status updates. Quote
anosou Posted February 24, 2009 Author Posted February 24, 2009 Okay, this probably won't be as big as I'd like it to be BUT I will from now on keep a list of OCRemix forum user's blogs in the first post. Alphabetically and generally pretty. Woo! Quote
Skummel Maske Posted February 24, 2009 Posted February 24, 2009 hmm.. Should I add all blogs posted to the first post in an oh-so-handy list in this format:Forum user name - blog url ? That would be handy, so go for it! Quote
Alexis Posted February 24, 2009 Posted February 24, 2009 http://yodaisbetter.livejournal.com/ Oh that's right. I'm on livejournal. Quote

Darklink42 Posted February 25, 2009 Posted February 25, 2009 Mine's also in my sig, but for posterity: http://darklink42.blogspot.com/ An ongoing collection of short stories that I've been writing. Quote
The Author Posted February 25, 2009 Posted February 25, 2009 Mine is in my sig as well: http://shortstoriesjournal.blogspot.com/ A collection of creative writing, and experimentation with writing. Quote
Jaybell Posted February 25, 2009 Posted February 25, 2009 http://yodaisbetter.livejournal.com/Oh that's right. I'm on livejournal. The title of the second entry made me laugh out loud. Quote
KyleJCrb Posted February 25, 2009 Posted February 25, 2009 Pretty much a pointless blog, but eh: http://kylejcrb.livejournal.com/ Quote
Ajax Posted February 25, 2009 Posted February 25, 2009 Hmm, I've got a blog, now where did I put it... Ah here it is. http://joesblog.isgreat.org/ I don't update it often, and I suppose the only reason I'm posting its link is because I want to show off my hand-made handiwork (I coded it from scratch... minus the backend). Quote
Alexis Posted February 25, 2009 Posted February 25, 2009 The title of the second entry made me laugh out loud. Yeah. Like I said. Livejournal. Girl blog. Watch out for this kind of stuff. For those too lazy to click, he's referring to the post entitled "Grad School Stuff and also I want to Bang Daniel Faraday" Also, MOAR BLOGS. These are fun to look at. Quote
anosou Posted February 25, 2009 Author Posted February 25, 2009 lots of good reading can be found here, I'm with alexis: MOAR BLOGS! Also, to keep this thread from dying, if you write an especially awesome post or a part of a recurring series you could post a note here so anyone interested but not RSSing can find the good stuff. I've just started to chronicle all my game-related purchases, first post up today, so that could be interesting to see what kind of taste I REALLY have. :3 As you were. Quote
Rozovian Posted February 25, 2009 Posted February 25, 2009 I should name it "Short, dull, uninformative and rarely updated". Quote
anosou Posted February 25, 2009 Author Posted February 25, 2009 I should name it "Short, dull, uninformative and rarely updated". You said it, you can't un-say it! Quote
anosou Posted February 26, 2009 Author Posted February 26, 2009 just updated my blog with a new addition in the oh-so-interesting "What I spend my money on"-series. Read it and weep! http://anosou.blogspot.com Quote
Doulifée Posted February 27, 2009 Posted February 27, 2009 added a banner on top. i'll start some sigmaking tutorial sooner. Quote
anosou Posted February 27, 2009 Author Posted February 27, 2009 Yet another part in the "How I spend my money"-series. Some questionable purchases this time, agree? http://anosou.blogspot.com Quote
The Author Posted February 28, 2009 Posted February 28, 2009 Could you add to mine that it is usually updated on Wednesdays and Saturdays? Quote
