Posted On Mar 16 2011I wanted to stop by and first say hello.
I chose not to single you out in my Chronicle comment, but I was disturbed by your comments and wanted to address them.
I'm sorry if you feel like I'm always pushing you to promote things. I'll leave you out of these efforts from now on.
On the GoGcast front, you always were saying you had to go, you were tired, or you didn't have any opinions to add to the conversation. You know you're always a welcome guest of the show, but you also know the level of excitement I want for that show and our limited space/bandwidth, so no offense, but I'd need you to bring more effort I suppose.
Lastly, I'd like nothing more than to see the non-competitive gamers continue to thrive around here. Since many times I feel like the only true dedicated member, like I said, my interests can dictate conversation. My challenge to you and all who are like you, would be START conversation that interest you, BRING people in to chat more about them, and FOLLOW-UP with those efforts to keep things dynamic and fun.
Let me know your thoughts and you know I'll always love you sir -

Posted On Jul 02 2010Write more chronicles, IMO. Sometimes I have breaks at work, and I feel like reading something game related. Sadly, I find that most game sites tend to suck at it, so I always check on your page for something new, since you are one of the few reviewers whose opinions I actually respect and enjoy.

Posted On Jun 14 2010Wow, sounds like you do have a full plate. I am doing good down here in KC. I am starting to get back into the gaming mood too now that I am out of school (thank God!). I am interested in your FFVII speed run. As one of the greatest RPGs I have ever played, a speed run would be cool to record. Make sure you give me a time and date for when you plan on streaming it.
I actually own a copy of Legaia II. I have had it for forever, but I have not played it, lol. My brother seemed to enjoy it, though. I'll have to bust it out here one of these days when I am not neck deep in another game. -

Posted On Apr 21 2010This week we've really cleaned up the Elite Squad for this growing video game community!
That valuable E is associated with your profile around the entire website, so live up to your status as a leader and let's continue to build this community into what we all want.
The team is not ordered in importance, but the lower listed folks are the least active and may be removed when we have another update. If you're one of these friends, let's see you pick it up and jump back into the GoG head first!
Bios have also been optimized for length and the page structure, so check those updated bios out as well. Here's the Elite Squad page, which can also be accessed on the homepage and in the footer of every GoG page:

Posted On Mar 23 2010Today I was looking through some of my old stuff and found the Metallica ticket (The person I went with kept the other.) you gave me back in October 2008 after the Guitar Hero Tournament. I decided to come on here just to tell you that, that was one of the best times I've ever had in my life, and I'm still extremely thankful for what you did. It may seem like nothing to you now, but I'll seriously never forget that for as long as I live. Thank you very much man.

Posted On Mar 11 2010For weekend, Xbox 360s, controllers, and game discs are obvious things we need. 20"-30" televisions would also be a huge addition to how you can help make this event BA.

Posted On Dec 28 2009Hey man, the PRE-GoG 5,000 Party IS all-ages, just so you and Ding know.
Also, I'd still like you to get the streaming stuff setup. If you need to make a separate Justin.tv or Ustream account for the GoG, just use your Brandon@GatheringofGamers.com address and get it setup. If you're able to do this early in the week, you can guide people to the profile before the event.
See you soon! -

Posted On Jul 27 2009It's FREE! Well...one of them is...sorry for the fake hype...I believe one of thems like 600 and the other 1000? I'm not sure, but they aren't the cheapest. What they add is more missions, clothes, vehicles, and all are pretty cool. They have some pretty interesting cars in the DLC. The problem is, the missions are available right from the beginning, and they most certainly shouldn't be available until after you beat the storyline!

Posted On Jul 17 2009I wanted to stop by and share that we've got an upcoming video game event here in Des Moines NEXT weekend (7/25 & 7/26)!
We could really use your help to help bring the fun to our first church that's hired us to help run a large gaming element. Both Saturday and Sunday evening, the event only runs from 5-9pm, so we'd have plenty of time to enjoy other things during the weekend if you'd like and this large church is allowing us to spread the GoG word too!
We could use some of your gaming equipment if you're cool with that, as we'll be running 8 gaming stations each evening. I have more details and I hope you can make it...so let me know your thoughts asap... -

Posted On Jun 15 2009Hey, just thought I would let you know that I am loving the Genesis! I got a copy of Contra: Hard Corps off of e-bay with box and instruction booklet in great condition. I haven't had so much fun playing a game in a long time. I haven't played this game in 10 years. It really takes me back... Is it sad that I can still have more fun on 16-bit games than I do on the latest item Square pumped out of the factory? It's a beautiful thing.
Also, I have been meaning to ask, how is Infinite Undiscovery treating you? I see you chipping away at the achievements on TA. How far are you going to take it? :O -

Posted On Jun 01 2009Ah, I see what you mean in regards to the game length now. You should probably yell at RyuBlitz for all the bugs... We all know the website is primarily his responsibility.
I haven't had a chance to try the Genesis yet seeing as how I currently have no games for it. However, I bought a copy of Contra Hard Corps off of e-bay, so I should be getting that soon. I was able to get the game, box, and instruction booklet all in great condition for under $20. I consider that a steal. I am excited to get my hands on it. It is probably one of my favorite Genesis games of all time, and I have not played it since I was probably 10 or 11 years old, heh. -

Posted On May 22 2009I was originally going for the Enlightened Guitarist achievement, but I have some reservations about putting so much energy into it. Mostly the fact that since it was previously glitched, a lot of people have it that should NOT have it. If you check TA.com, you can easily see that way more people have Enlightened Guitarist achievement than have even completed the expert career! That is ridiculous. I don't like cheaters. I am actually working on the Big 'Ol Pile of Wins achievement. I am slowly chipping away at it a few matches every morning.
I will definitely come up to CyberOps this weekend. Sounds like a good time. I will talk to RyuBlitz and see if he is planning on going or wants to go. Also, do you have a couple of controllers to go with the Genesis? -
Seripha
Posted On May 14 2009I have a game I would like you to review as a part of yout Under Appreciated/Under the Radar series. Brigandine: The Legend of Forsena. You may have heard of it. It is strategy RPG developed by Atlus for the PS1.
This is by far THE single most under appreciated game ever created. I have put more hours into this game than any other game I have played in my entire life. The lasting appeal and replay value are absolutely outrageous.
The game is based around a continent of six countries at war. You assume the role of one country and attempt to capture all of the continent, one battle at a time. You have many, many knights at your disposal each of which can control up to six creatures. Each battle is based off a hexagonal grid which makes the number of strategies to implement in each fight basically infinite. I could go on describing the game, but I couldn't do it justice.
Despite how creative, unique, and interesting this game is, it gets peppered by crappy reviews by crappy people who whine about graphics and who don't want to spend the time getting into a game that actually makes you think.
You must try this game, if you have not already. I promise you won't be disappointed. -
BEN
Posted On May 11 2009I appreciate your comments in the New Ideas section of the GoG Forum. Zach, Will, Jason, and I are hopefully going to be hitting development hard in the coming weeks/months and I think your perspective had a lot of good points.
There's some things we can do, but other that have our hands tied, so I suppose if we're able to offer the best experience possible, maybe we can continue our community's quality, member activity, and overall growth!

Posted On Mar 05 2009Yeah, I haven't been on hardly at all. It isn't for health reasons - we're just VERY busy at the computer shop. Plus our boys are starting in (already) with the Little League stuff.

Posted On Mar 04 2009Boo is doing OK. No more coughing up blood, which is always good.
I was a wreck that entire day. You always think the worst. Glad it was something as "simple" as a bleeding ulcer caused by his meds.
I truly, truly don't know what I'd do without that guy. -

Posted On Feb 19 2009Guess who's got a new profile template rockin. You might like to check out the new option in the Edit Profile area of your OWN profile!
For being on GoGcast tonight, you're the first to know... -

Posted On Feb 17 2009That's cool about J for Jade! I'm hoping she joins us tomorrow for the GoGcast, so if so, you'll have to bring this up
Either way, tell her nice work here on the GoG as Zach and I met her at MLG Dallas. Thanks for the head's up! -
RyuBlitz
Posted On Feb 14 2009Alright, cool. I'll look into things, and try to let you know reasonably soon.

Posted On Feb 14 2009Hey, I'm definitely interested in going with to the MGC. The only issue is, I might already have another trip planned at that time. I'll let you know. Is there a deadline for registrations, hotel discounts, etc.?

Posted On Feb 08 2009You bet! We're actually pretty excited for the game's release. I don't know whether to have a guitar-only tourney right after its release, or wait a little bit so people can get a little more used to the songs.
Also, I'd like to have some sort of "team" competition with a full-band, or maybe everything BUT singer because I know people have a hard time coming up with a singer.
I don't know whether to make the team competition a separate affair or host it on the same day. I could run it two ways - pay a separate entry for the team and have its own pot, or randomly put three-four people together from the singles and have a bragging-rights-only winner. -

Posted On Feb 03 2009Know anyone looking to propose anytime soon? This would be an awesome way to do it IN Guitar Hero: World Tour, on Valentine's Day!
www.GatheringofGamers.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=1691
We may also like to use ScoreHero and develop a combined effort for this opportunity. Can you put me in contact with the right people over there?
This one's going to pass by fast, so we have to move. Let me know your thoughts... -
BEN
Posted On Jan 29 2009Last night's GoGcast is polished and online!
A smaller file and streaming version will be available today or tomorrow, but you might want to grab this now, because it IS the best GoGcast to date

Posted On Jan 09 2009GoGcast Episode 5 is online and I'd have to say, one of the best shows to date
Download it or listen to the Live Stream, then let's hear your thoughts in the GoG Forum -

Posted On Dec 31 2008Thanks for the comment! I think it would be fun to have people make -mini commercials- to put at the end of every "session" or show promoting their clubs, gear, game-networks, etc! =D What do you think?

BEN
Posted On Dec 12 2008Guess what's already online after just recording it tonight?!
The file download is not the smoothest way of sharing our first GoG podcast I know, but we'll make it smoother very soon. Be sure to grab the file from the homepage for now though -
BEN
Posted On Dec 10 2008Cool, but you'll have to take a break to play some intense Kingdom For Keflings tonight

Posted On Dec 01 2008Thanks for doing your part to keep this place clean!
It would be easiest to have you delete it. Simply open all your images and select the red delete button. That will bring the photo up in the pop-up gallery, where you can confirm the delete by selecting YES in the option presented above the photo.
Let me know if you have questions and thanks again! -

Posted On Nov 30 2008Thanks, Brandon
Glad you'll be there to support the charity event. I just hope it isn't icy that day. I wouldn't expect you to brave conditions like that just to make it up. -

Posted On Nov 26 2008Have you seen Team Foxy's coverage of the MLG National Championships in Las Vegas?
Be sure to check out all the sweet photos they posted in the MLG Vegas 08 profile and drop some comments so they know we appreciate their hard work!
NOTE: There's a leaderboard banner around here, in case you need a quick guide to the profile -

Posted On Nov 24 2008Good man, thanks. We were up there to attend my brother's annual school art show. He attends MCAD in Minneapolis, so it's a pretty big deal and a lot of great art to enjoy, so it was a good time
Have any Thanksgiving plans yet? I hope to be gaming a lot and let's finish the GoG Kingdom! -
BEN
Posted On Nov 24 2008JERK.
lol, thanks and it's been updated...I appreciate the comment as well -
RyuBlitz
Posted On Nov 21 2008Sounds good. My only comment would be to change the band name, because that particular one probably wouldn't go over so well in the GoG community (i.e., Ben). If we use this clan to show how it can be used for bands, then we need a little bit different name.
-
ZMaine
Posted On Nov 20 2008go for it!
-
ZMaine
Posted On Nov 20 2008id be up for both of those, the only problem i could forsee is that i normally play my xbox after 11pm and zach and jack play late too, and since your go to bed before that...

RyuBlitz
Posted On Nov 20 2008I think I can work a little code magic...

RyuBlitz
Posted On Nov 20 2008Yeah, I'd be up for a RB2 league band. Just let me know what's going on. We can always set up a clan page for it, too.

BEN
Posted On Nov 19 2008Looks like you're going for 150 while I'm going for 200 for this friendly competition of ours
GOOD LUCK!
