Classic Gamer Brain Update and Notes

A few notes:

1. Our friends over at Classic Gamer Brain have opened up a forum over the holidays. It's a bit sparse right now, but give it time to establish itself. I've already signed up (I'm Myles, obviously) and you should as well. At the very least it will give anyone who wants some intimate video game conversation a place to cool their heels in between posts.

2. As for posting, you'll notice the "Continue" link now at the end of all our posts. It's my feeble attempt to create expandable summaries so you can browse through out articles much more quickly. I can't really claim HTML to my geek repertoire, so 1) to avoid the "Continue" link being on every single article, I personally insert it in, which means it will still be present in the full article versions and 2) apparently it's at war with Apple because Bryant's posts refuse to behave. Any experienced advice is welcome

3. Speaking of Bryant. He's taken ill, which has rendered him completely and utterly useless (as well as making him act as if he were on his deathbed). Send him "Get Well" wishes...or ridicule him into angry tirades, which basically consists of him ending every sentence with your name to indicate he's be serious.\. That's what I do.

One Down...

So the launch week of Shoryuken! went pretty smoothly. We still have a few ideas we're trying to work out, but we're very gracious towards anyone who's given us a read and participated so far.

We've been added to the blog roll of Sparkle City Blogs, a project by Steve Shanafelt that compiles local blogs in our native Spartanburg, SC. So if you're in the area, definitely give him a shout out and he'll include you. This particular club's all inclusive.

Since you're here, do our friends over at Classic Gamer Brain a solid and give them a look-see as well. These guys have been at this game for a bit longer than we have. They even have podcasts. Bastards.

Also, if you comment or have commented, it'd be a good idea to e-mail subscribe to the post. Part of entire mission here is to inspire conversation and promote community amongst gamers. While we appreciate your involvement, conversation is obviously more than saying one thing. We definitely intend to respond to you, and others may follow suit as well. So stay and chat for a while. Bryant bites, but I'll keep you safe.

That's it, really. Just wanted to thanks those who have helped make our launch promising. It's very encouraging.

Who knew? You guys really are good for something!
