I guess there's too much of a "hardcore gamer" stigma attached to the NBI - to the outside world, that is, I believe the majority of gamer bloggers identify as "casual gamers". People are apparently reluctant to step outside their well-known blogger circle. So if we'd want that to work, we'd either need a separate event, or we'd need to enthuse key members of other blogger communities and let them spread the word.Ravanelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03447777640056476366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1510920011443550663.post-83762766310219774482016-05-17T04:36:43.174+01:002016-05-17T04:36:43.174+01:00Maliase checking in!Maliase checking in!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16516677270703152907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1510920011443550663.post-56590559289888286172016-05-16T16:21:52.055+01:002016-05-16T16:21:52.055+01:00I definitely think there could be a wider "gi...I definitely think there could be a wider "give blogging a go" event that wasn't genre-specific although at this stage it would probably better if it was a separate event from the NBI. The question is, even if someone was willing to host and organize it, where would they advertise and promote it? I wouldn't have a clue where to begin on that.Bhagpusshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03499162165023939880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1510920011443550663.post-28740481172860325942016-05-16T16:18:51.166+01:002016-05-16T16:18:51.166+01:00Me too.

It always strikes me as bubble-thinking, like when the only "man in the street" a journalist can think to quote is the taxi driver who drove him to the studio. Still, there are times when it has to be done and there are people who do it well. Not saying that's me!Bhagpusshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03499162165023939880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1510920011443550663.post-14300922075070533312016-05-16T16:07:08.715+01:002016-05-16T16:07:08.715+01:00You're more than welcome.

From 2011 to February this year I've written a post pretty much every day and it can be at times, both enjoyable and an insufferable chore. Yet whenever I'm on a hiatus, I miss blogging like crazy.<br /><br />In March I found that I had to put a lot of things on hold due to real world changes in my life (I have familiy that are getting old and sick) so once again I pulled the plug. Two months on I have now found that my daily routine has far more order and structure than I expected. Thus I have made a tentative returned to podcasting. <br /><br />I'm pleased that Doone has chosen to run a scaled down NBI this year. It's a great event and personally I would like to see it extend beyond gaming blogs. I may resurrect Contains Moderate Peril and endeavour to take part in some capacity. I would certainly encourage those toying with the idea of blogging to start. I live in hope of find a good source of in-depth, long form gaming criticism.Roger Edwardshttp://containsmoderateperil.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1510920011443550663.post-12652488693574236402016-05-16T15:03:59.246+01:002016-05-16T15:03:59.246+01:00Great post.

Yet the set of things that I love has stayed remarkably constant from late childhood until even now.

You are, of course, right, but for me the problem is that when I start something, I want to be *good* at it. The same counts for blogging. Even if I don't really have the time, I do want to blog. As always, my ability to write compelling comments fails me, but maybe I'll write a proper response to this in the form of a blog post - if everyone hasn't gone *snore* by then already, that is.Ravanelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03447777640056476366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1510920011443550663.post-69727832423622650622016-05-16T14:24:23.715+01:002016-05-16T14:24:23.715+01:00I really appreciate this post.

XD <br /><br />The only way life doesn't change you, even in small subtle ways, is when you're dead. We get caught up in what we think we should be and overlook what we're actually becoming, or already are, as people. But change happens, and it's no one's fault. <br /><br />I'm looking forward to this year's NBI, too. I wanted to leave a comment on Doone's post to let him know I'd offer what help I could, but it didn't appear I could at the time. I suppose I can search him out on the forums instead.
