Exciting New Stuff Coming

It's only been a day, and already some great stuff is on the way. Our first game for review is being played as I type, and the reviewer is really excited to get started. Also, as I've explained to a few people already, since the focus isn't completely going to be on games, a friend is going to write a weekly "What I Watched on Netflix" section. I definitely wouldn't have okay ed it if I didn't think it would be hilarious, so I'm pretty excited to see what he gives me. Since Battlefield is the game that's created the biggest blip on our radar right now, I'm trying to iron out some plans for a few different features. If you guys see any games you want covered or have any more ideas for content, let me know.

New Blog!!!

Hey everybody! The new KG blog is up, and I'm super excited! As the next few weeks roll on, I'll be experimenting with all sorts of new stuff, including page layouts (thanks John!), content, video capture/hosting, podcasting, and more! If everything goes according to plan, this has potential to be pretty awesome! If anybody's interested in contributing content, let me know. My main aim here as far as content goes is editorial and commentary, with relevant news as well. Fitting with KG standards, the overall focus will be on video games, but if anybody sees a bit of news or wants to write an article, I'm fine as long as it can be related to games or tech. Of course, everyone in KG has a hilarious sense of humor, and that's what I'd really like to shine through.  So that's it, if anybody has any constructive criticisms or ideas for content, let me know in the comments, or just email me.  SHARE MY EXCITEMENT!!!!
