Happy Birthday, TGN!

On this day in 2006, TGN (in its third iteration) did begin and the people did join and it was good.

In the years since, we have lost old friends down the back of the sofa, and we have gained new friends… mostly from Milton Keynes (well, I say ‘friends’… more like acquaintances… not even that really). It’s not all bad, mind. Okay, a lot of it has been bad; there have been a lot of arguments, a lot of bruised egos, even more bruised inner thighs, one instance of– two instances of anal rape and a shitload of Gorilla Masks.

Quite frankly, I don’t know why we’re all still here…

Just a reminder…

All reviews from the TGN Blog can be found HERE.

And we have many more on the way, including Tom Clancy’s End War and the Ultimate Box for Burnout Paradise.

We are doing something. Honest.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Just a message of season’s greetings from all of us here at the TGN Blog.

Enjoy a very Merry Christmas, as ’tis the season after all.

Coming Soon – GTA Retrospective

Once upon a time, in an age before GTA IV had been played by every man and his dog, I wrote a whole Retrospective of articles chronicling the major GTA games. Because this blog needs content to keep y’all coming back for more – and as I was quite proud of them – I’m going to re-write them and post them here. You can already read them on my personal blog, but I’m not going to link you to them as I don’t want to spoil the wonderment for you.

So, I suppose this is as good a time as any to get you to either subscribe to this here blog (see the drop down boxes on the sidebar) or to bookmark it (just press Ctrl+D, you know you want to). In fact, why don’t you just go ahead and do both? That seems a pretty reasonable demand; everyone’s got space for another bookmark, surely?

Obligatory Opener…

Seems that everyone’s saying “look at me, I’m blogging now!” so I figured I’d do the same. Go on then, look at me.

Heh, in all seriousness, it is about time we used the collective goodwill of our tiny little forum to do something, anything of interest. Or just something. Maybe I’ll just post about our regular LIVE games in the hopes that we can reel in some new folks to play with us.

Well, that’s the obligatory “full of good intentions” post out the way from me, anyway.

A Personal Welcome

I’d also like to welcome all those who read this to the TGN blog, I’d also like to add a link from here to the FORUM incase people happen to stumble across this blog first rather than the forum itself. Do join, we don’t bite – much.

Whether we can get some interesting content (or not) here is dependent on whether the members who frequent the forum desire to make use of their writing talent (or lack of) to entertain, inform or infuriate those who decide to read the articles. Imagine this place as an extension to the forum; entertaining, packed with interesting contents, not completely necessary and full of fun – very much like a pair of underpants then.

I would love it if this takes off.

This is The TGN Blog

Welcome one, welcome all, to the TGN Blog. An experiment to see if the members of the TGN Forum can actually produce something worth reading for once.

Hopefully, in the near future, you’ll see the occasional review of a game or film or whatever from some of the members of the TGN community. However, more likely is that it’ll be ignored and probably deleted.

All trusted members (all three of them) will be given access to post whatever they want, whenever they want, for whatever reason they want (most likely to quell the intense boredom eating away at their very souls).

Personally, I don’t know whether or not this is a good idea, but I’m sure TGN will tell me.
