Herro all. Are you ready to have yourself some Community Update? GI bloggers were awesome as usual this week and pumped out some really interesting stuff. Topics include everything from videogame violence to movies, music, and the evolution of a gamer. Be sure to pm me a link to your post during the week so you can be included next time.
Also, I noticed some game nights being organized in the forums. Being pretty new to GI, I'm not totally sure if you guys have a set schedule for that sort of thing. If anyone wants to clue me in, I think community game night schedules would be a great addition to the Community Update. I've talked to a few people about getting some Battlefield 1943 going, but that has yet to actually happen.
An in-depth look at AVP - Manny put together a nice preview of Rebellion's forthcoming FPS based on the popular sci-fi/horror series.
It's not a console war, let me explain - VenerableMonster insightfully explains the current-gen console race through a series of Star Wars metaphors.
What you should be listening to: a weekly musical blog - Mr PMS has good taste in music and blogs about it. He'll be updating weekly and encourages other users to submit entries to be featured each week.
Movie Roundup #2 - fleshballoon shares some movie impressions. Up for criticism this time around are Fat Girl, The Piano Teacher, The Trials of Henry Kissinger, and Pootie Tang.
A growing gamer - kittygamer88 talks about growing up with games and evolving as a gamer.
Jack Thompson violently knits a quilt...and gets away with it - LaurenisSoMosh talks about videogame violence and nabs some interesting commentary from Ubisoft's Community Developer Azaizia Aymar and Script Writer Corey May.
Thanks for the shout out and the weekly rundown on the good reads. As always, it's much appreciated.
Cool. I like the updates! This would help me if ever I missed GI for awhile.
Once again, nice job.
Hey, great job on the update again. Keep it up man. They're awesome!
And thanks for the shout out on the AVP preview. It took me all week to put it together. Can't wait for next week's one.
As always, thanks for the update. This is bound to become a GI Online staple eventually.
And thanks for the advertisement. My views have dang near tripled because of it - and they're not just my own views anymore. xD
Thanks for the info, I realy liked the console wars / star wars metaphors discussion.
Thank's. This is a cool way to catch up.
Oh wow, I just saw this post. Thanks a lot.
Nice, great job Matt!
