Blog #3: Mild Ranting by Ysolla

Third place this week is Ysolla with, as the title suggests, a mild rant on what is essentially gamer culture. Touching on differences of opinion, stereotyping and not being any less of a gamer for enjoying different aspects of games, Ysolla presents a very well written and interesting blog.

Check out what some people had to say about this blog below.

”First blog I've rated 5 star.” from BlackRetina.

”Hoorah for decent blogs. I agree with your point, however, the internet was created so people could force there opinion on you (outside of Church). I looked that up on wikipedia, so it must be true.” by Ubercuber.

”God blog, it's interesting to see the female perspective on the whole gamer elitism issue.” from GenBattle.

Blog #2: What is a gamer? by Donutta

Second place is Donutta who, in keeping with the theme of exploring gamer culture, went Jamie Hyneman on some of the more prevalent myths that surround gaming. With another eloquent and thought-provoking blog, Liam is on a bit of a roll here. Make some time to read through this blog, it’s worth it.

Here are some examples of what people thought.

” Great blog couldn't agree more, especially about the Dreamcast thing & while I enjoy playing over LIVE, online gaming shouldn't be the norm.
I could only shake my head at people that complained about the length of COD4 any longer & it would have dragged” by Rapidity

” great blog. agree with everything. especially the owning all consoles thing, who has the time to play all of the different games on all the consoles.” xSHADOWx

” I especially agree with the online thing. I freaking hate games that the only co-op or multiplayer is online. Or achievements you can only get playing online. Real people FTW.

I also prefer short games and dont own all 3 consoles...” from Ubercuber

Blog #1: The Truth about Gamers by kate-robyn

Top spot this week goes to kate-robyn with her satirical and hilarious blog that highlights some of the less… well, attractive, stereotypes of today's gamer. From gamer-on-civillian violence to the hygene habits of the basement bound, Kate has created an excellent blog that works well in conjuction with Donutta and Ysolla’s entries.

Here’s what some commentors thought of the blog.

” You are a GENIUS.

That's it, you've gotta have your own show. Let's talk about pitching to tvnz.” from Luce.

” Haha, I love it!” from Phoenix.

” Awesome! Many lol's. It's true about the girl gamers.” from djkicks.
