Nope, not that I remember at least. Why did this guy take my post? I don’t know. He doesn’t have a contact page, so I looked him up, and I’ll be contacting him. Most likely by email. His info:

  Ine Ikegami (webmaster@rayzedblog.com)  

    4050 Goosetown Drive     Asheville     North Carolina,28801     US 

Tel. +1.8285820079  

Oh, and here’s what he took: Mine, and his. The link back to me isn’t even correct. Bastard Somewhat less than likable person.

UPDATE: Alright, his email doesn’t work. Its not even real, I get a delivery notification error. So what do I do? Maybe I’ll phone him, maybe not. The info is probably fake for that too though.

I found this one just a few nights ago, and I loved it instantly. It’s www.game-ism.com, and it’s awesome. It’s an example of what a blogger should really attempt to be. His posts are the right length, well thought out, and give you the sense that he’s really put time into this. Example: TF2 vs. Vanilla FPS. Not only does he give us a full post, he provides diagrams to support his theories. His posts are very much devoted into looking deeper into games. Not just their mechanics, but also their story line, and the symbolism in the games. They’re long posts, but they’re entertaining posts.

 Example. He knows he overanalyzed, but both him and his audience don’t care. Why? Because that’s the fun of the post. It takes apart the song by someone who knows a lot about the game, not someone who’s never played it but  graduated with honors from Oxford after finishing a doctoral study on the combination of story and song. While the person who has a doctorate might be more knowledgeable in symbolism and general story, he probably won’t know as much about the characters and story of the game. But anyways, the blog is great. Check it out, guys.

Yes, 68 is the title of this post, but no, we aren’t talking about Hitchhiker’s Guide To The Galaxy. We’re talking about blogs, and RSS, and why I love it. (I also love formatting :P). You’ve probably figured out that that means I have 68 blog posts to read. Well, 68 posts to skim through and find the good ones! At the top of the list was news.com at 21, core77.com with 12, and Macworld, also at 12. Hopefully, soon I’ll be able to post ALL of my RSS subscriptions to the blog. You know you can tell a lot about someone from their RSS feed subscriptions. On the same subject of RSS, what do you guys use as a reader? Personally I love NetNewsWire, though any would work as long as I can flag certain posts (in order to remind me to link to them). Don’t you just love RSS (except for the fact that it can totally destroy your social life)?
