Ahem

If I have any regular readers, you may have noticed my lack of posts of late. This is not because of laziness, but because I've started a new blog and have put all my blogging efforts into that. In fact, I doubt very much that I'll keep this one going and, instead, transfer all my blogging energy into the other one. But don't fret, it's still about gaming and chances are a lot more people will read the other blog that I have started. Hopefully it'll develop into something amazing and well worth anyone's time to read and even write for. It's quite exciting; we (notice the plural) are going all guns at the moment. There's a team involved, people writing articles, reviews, guest writers and other cool stuff. Hopefully, we'll be able to cover nearly every game released on every format soon, as well as imports and the like, leading eventually, hopefully, to professionalism - i.e. getting fricking paid to play games and write about them! How awesome would that be?!

Since becoming Administrator for TGN, I've tried rather hard to make it a better experience for the people already there and for the people who will be there in the future. I've added things, changed things, made mistakes and learnt from them. But a forum is only as good as the people who post there, and I think TGN is the best forum, the best forum ever!

The blog is still in its early stages, but what is there is, in my opinion, awesome, especially the guest article by the forum member 'Mr Party Hat', a rather relevant view on the gaming industry today. It's simple and to the point, but it doesn't shy away from being a particularly 'hardcore' opinion from hardcore gamers. It speaks for how a lot of us are feeling. What a way to start a blog! You should read it, here, at The TGN Blog - the blog that's stealing me away from you.

If this is my last post here (it might very well be), then it's been fun, but I'm guessing it might be a lot more fun over there. It's not all doom and gloom, some of the articles I was preparing for this blog are simply being transfered over to the other, and some of the articles I've written and already published are going to be re-written, added to and improved before being posted again there. The grass is sometimes greener on the other side, so make that side your own.
