I have been away for the better part of the past 6 weeks. I won't get into a lot of details, but I've had some health concerns (I am going to be fine) and I live in Minneapolis, where people's minds have been on the tragic bridge collapse of last week. Best wishes to anyone affected by this shocking incident.
First, a recap of what has happened in the world of gaming since I last posted a meaningful story.
GTA4 was delayed, the PS3 price was dropped (sorta), and now the Xbox 360 price has been dropped (see the picture above). It looks like MGS4 will be coming to the XBox360 5 to 6 months after the PS3 release. See here. And COD4 and Fallout 3 look like games to own. The former very soon, and the latter sometime next year. Recap done.
Now that I am back, I (more accurately, my wife) made an interesting discovery. It seems I've had more visits to this blog during the 6 weeks I've been M.I.A. than in the 6 weeks previous to that time.

OK, now that you're done laughing, I have to ask the question? Why? Why are you here? Why did you come here? Do you plan to come back? Did your search for Viagra somehow send you here? Do you like the blog? Is it informative, opinionated or interesting to you? Does it suck? I really must know!

You see, I have no desire to rule the world or even to be famous but what I would like to do is carve out my own little niche in this internet thing and be able to at least support my love of games and continue to be able to share my opinions with you fine people. In order to do that, I have to get some kind of handle on what draws visitors here, what makes them stay, and what makes them use the limited advertising we employ.
What do you think of our ads? Should we have more? Should we have less? We can't have none unless you're going to start sending us cash, so let me know what kind of ads you do like or dislike if you wish. Would you be inclined to buy from merchants we advertised, and if so, why?
One thing I do try to do is only advertise companies I actually use or that I have used in the past with good results. So, while you might see ads for companies like GameFly, TigerDirect and Netflix (love 'em), you won't normally see ads for Gamestop or Blockbuster (loathe 'em).
One last thing, do you enjoy Blogger? Should I use a different hosting service? If so, why? I like Blogger, and it's free. It's not perfect, but what is?
I'm not going to go much more into this now. I want to hear from you, the readers.
