For Such A Small Guy He Sure Gets Everywhere!

Those of you who are readers of the great and wise Gnome will know that he occasionally rises from his lair - filled to the brim with retro goodness - to bring his enlightenment to the rest of the web (do you think I'm plugging him enough here?). While we all know him for the lair he also runs Gnomes Gaming on the Go, The SEGA Master System Junkyard and Retro Treasures along with the occasional guest post here and there. You'd have thought he'd have covered all bases there but, no, on he moves to conquer the Internet.

Along with Chris (The Artful Gamer) and Gary (From the Gutter) Gnome is now writing over at the recently launched Game Cabaret which, in Gnome's own words, explores the 'the sexy, dark, humorous and at times serious side of video gaming'. After breathing in that new blog smell check out wonderful posts on 'Repressed Homoeroticism in R-Type' and realism in games through the film Cabaret.

With the excellent posts over at all three of these bloggers blogs I'm sure it won't be long before Game Cabaret is pumping out constant quality. Your owe it to yourself to check it out.

Now please excuse me while I go and do some reading.

Carnival of Gamers #19 - Unfettered Blather.

Rocketboom Has A New Host?

I blogged the other day about Amanda Congdon leaving Rocketboom. Well, apparently, the search for a new host has been ended with the signing of Joanne Colan.

She recently set up a blog naming herself as the new host of Rocketboom, although more information about the new position is yet to be posted.

Two good things here;

1) She's British (not that I have anything against Americans, I just prefer my own accent)
2)She's hotter! (EDIT: ok, scratch that, I prefer Amanda. Still, as MSNBC said, they have an uncanny resemblance)

Heh.

Anyway, I'll be following her progress with interest. Her first vlog was supposed to kick off today but the only thing on the site is a video of someone sliding across the camera on a chair decked in protective gear. Freezing the frame confirms it's a woman so it's most likely it's the new host since Andrew Baron has confirmed speculation about Colan being the new host.

Gah, that last paragraph sucked.
