Interesting Gaming blogs

edited February 2010 in Social Entropy++
Hey, I haven't found any gaming blogs that I am really into yet. Do you guys have reccomendations for gaming blogs that might approach things from a more intellectual or erudite perspective? Thanks

    I was hoping to find a blog written from the perspective of an Erudite from EQ/EQ2.

    I couldn't find one in the first five minutes so I gave up.

    haha, I guess I don't need something super academic and stuffy. Just something for people that have brains you know?

    I'm guessing Erudite is a race in Everquest? Never played that game, but nevertheless, you sir, are hilarious.

    I don't know about blogs, exactly...but the few people in the game media industry that I enjoy listening to are...

    http://www.giantbomb.com/podcast/ - Former Gamespot guys
    http://mexicutedbyhepitacos.libsyn.com/ - Former 1up guys + Ngai Croal, though it hasn't been updated in a long time...
    http://bitmob.com/ - Former 1up guys

    I don't really care about their taste in games or anything like that, really. It has everything to do with personality and how their personalities blend together. I couldn't care less about the major podcasts you see on IGN that taper toward specific platforms and all that bullshit.

    Nope, I like Penny-Arcade, but they only post once a day. I have so many more hours to waste.

    Giantbomb is excellent.
    It's the only podcast around anymore that reminds me of the GFW Radio magic. Bitmob is close, but it feels a bit sterile.

    Well, I joined to ask a question to people that I thought could help me. I figured that it was quicker than reading whatever popped up on google for several days before i decided if I liked it or not. Its expedient. I guess I necessarily plan on participating in a ton of other discussions, but I'm not planning on spamming as I understand the term either. Although, I guess if posting when you have a low post count is discouraged and thought of as spamming,I suppose you wouldn't really want me to participate in other discussions.

    that is generally the way these things work

    but you seem to be a real person who is actually reading comments, not this time I guess!

    usually someone else with 1 post conveniently shows up in the thread two minutes later with a post like "I notice you looking for a blog with gaming for all my gaming nwes i go to this great site at buttfuckpress dot org"

    personally i don't really read much about "gaming" beyond joystiq once in a blue moon

    so i'm afraid i can't help you much

    You're being too reasonable. Most people here don't like that sort of thing.

    It's a familiar setup is all. Somebody joins and asks "what is a great website for X" and the second account joins and posts "well website Z is great for X" but here's the rub: poster 1 and poster 2 are the same person who runs website Z.

    This is a new breed of spambot, it racked up 2,500 posts and even got itself an animated avatar before spamming it's website. I'm not sure how we can combat this.

    Worst case scenario - it's a spammer, and we see through it instantly.

    Regardless, I wouldn't mind discussing the OPs topic anyway.

    Honestly spencer, if you want better suggestions, maybe make this thread in games and technology. You'll find people much more eager to post blogs and helpful suggestions there than here.

    Not to say these aren't all fine people, they are. But it's that time of the month around here and unless you're bring chocolate and grays anatomy dvd's, you're gonna have to face down a lot of sour ladies.
