I've never seen the reason to have these things. Most people just are not that interesting, and have nothing interesting to share unless they heard/read it from some other far more interesting source. But we all want to be noticed. We all want attention. Especially those of us who say we don't. The only things even remotely interesting about my everyday life are the people who frequent the game shop I work at. So I plan on filling this space with pictures and anecdotes ...
So, it's nice that we have TNL blogs now but I already have Facebook, Myspace, Twitter, etc. I'm not sure what I would write in a TNL blog that wouldn't already go into one of those places. Should I just copy and paste from those other places? Wouldn't that just be redundant?
The last few years have been a bit of a blur. Playing with your perception of reality can do that to a person. So here I am, older, wiser and concerned about how I spend my free time. I love a good video game every now and then but I also love having a place to live and a bed to share and good coffee to start every morning. Glancing at an issue of EGM or Play will always bring a rush of memories. The squandered paychecks and the joy of unwrapping a fresh new game. Inhaling the new plastic smell ...

Not anymore, I am no longer a blog virgin. TNL raped my blog butthole.

I'm glad people are actually using this feature; I thought it would take longer to catch on. I guess it's a nice place for rambling about things that we don't have a thread for. Today is my first official day at my new job as a "non-trainee." I miss the kitten lifestyle, I should have appreciated it more. With an hour commute up and back, my work days usually consume 11 hours. Maybe after a few months I'll request fewer hours, because this schedule hasn't left much time ...

Sadly, yours truly, Nick and most of the usual crew that attend E3 aren't actually flying out to the sunny state. We've literally got a skeleton crew going in our place, consisting of Shidoshi, James and Raz. I wish them the best since they're more or less going "appointment free". In a way, it's sort of liberating as I get to kick back and watch other people scramble around with their laptops to keep the gamers back home abreast of what's to come. I am only interested in ...
This looks way sweet! Good job people involved.
Just wanted to say thanks for always going above and beyond and making this place better for everyone. I'm not sure we deserve it.

So I figure I'll start posting drawings and stuff in this thing, let's see how it works!
Congratulations on the successful upgrade. Good to see that our posts from 2002 shall still live on. I'd also like to thank all the people for showing up last night on IRC and would like to politely point out that there is a TNL chatroom which does exist the other 364 days of the year. As opposed to #thenextlevel it is titled #tnl. Join and make maruchan happy and give joust someone new to bitch at or with.
