A Gamer’s Mind: Now on HardestLevel

Aug 2nd

Posted by Moofey in Uncategorized

In case you didn’t catch it on AGM‘s twitter feed, a proposition came up that I have decided to take.

Select posts from A Gamer’s Mind will now be featured on the Xanga-run blog Hardest Level. What I’m saying by this is that editors from Hardest Level will scan this blog, maybe select 2-3 posts a week, and syndicate them on the front page with a link back here.  This in turn provides for more exposure for the blog in general, beyond the occasional pingback/trackback that we might get.  That, and the posts are being syndicated on a community that gets quite a bit of traffic.

This in turn means you might see me get a bit more creative and try to keep the blog to its goal of portraying the gaming culture.  I have a lot of spare time on my hands these days, so it’s time to hop to it!

A Gamer’s Mind on Twitter

May 4th

Posted by Moofey in Uncategorized

In the first few months since the blog’s start, I’ve been tweeting updates to the blog through my personal twitter account. Unfortunately it seems it’s become somewhat susceptible to a massive amount of spambots in the past couple of days, so I’ve gone and protected my personal account for the time being.

Because of that, I’ve gone and made the blog its own separate Twitter account, so if you want the latest updates as they happen on the blog, be sure to follow gamersmindblog.

List: Ten In-Game-Name fads that need to DIE

Jan 26th

Posted by Moofey in Games

Anyone who has played any sort of online game, or even been on a website with any sort of community integration, knows about the “username” or in the case of gaming the “in-game-name”, more aptly known as an IGN.  Over time, most people grow an attachment to said names. (Much like myself and the names “Moofey”, “Dah-BAM!”, or one that would fit one of the ten I’m about to mention, “musicman2059″)

Unfortunately, too many of those names are based off of well-known fads. These names are usually taken by people that have no sense of netiquette and in some cases only want to cause problems.  Of course, not all are like this and they don’t influence my list in any way, but after seeing so many names of the same, it starts to get really annoying.

This is a list that has been done by people before.  Some of mine might be similar to those lists with a difference: This is my list.  The following ten IGN fads are all things that I think need to be put to rest ASAP.

Looking Into the Mind of a Gamer

Jan 23rd

Posted by Moofey in Uncategorized

Allow me to welcome you to “A Gamer’s Mind,” a blog in which I speak my mind about gaming, video games, happenings in the gaming industry, or whatever happens to come to my mind that involves video games.   For now, the blog’s backend has been finished to my liking, although it may take a couple of weeks to create a nice visual look so in the meantime please bear with me as we set things up.

I usually have things to talk about when it comes to video games, as it’s one of my main hobbies (along with music and sports) and something that I’ve lived with for most of my life.

My goal is to be updating almost regularly, not necessarily on a daily basis but whenever something comes to mind, and that will (hopefully) start within the next week or so.  Until then, happy gaming.
