thoughthead

If you’re wondering why I’ve only been updating once every other week, well here is the reason:

SOLID-Orange

I no longer want thoughthead to be considered a personal site of mine. I own it and I contribute to it but I want it to be more than just myself. To help break the ties SOLID-Orange is now my personal site. The site is far from complete but progress is slower than expected so I’m “launching” it before it is complete. SOLID-Orange will be dedicated to my personal projects and hobbies and more about those things than my rants and raves about the game industry.

I had a few people express interest in writing thoughthead articles. I’ve provided the tools they need to make it happen and the rest is up to them, here’s hoping that we start seeing some more contributers around here.

Ok, I want you… well not in that way…

Do you have opinions and insights about the Video Game industry? If so then I might be interested in having you write them for thoughthead.

If this is something you’re interested in please contact me at twistedsymphony(at)gmail.com and we’ll talk.

          

You are now viewing a Special Limited Collector’s Edition of Thoughthead; an extra long blogger’s cut with over 2 paragraphs of never before read cynicism and wit. Only 5000 of these pages will be rendered before it will no longer be available. Expect the value to go up over time as eBay prices soar. In fact, the value of this article as already doubled in the time it took you to read that; of course two times free is still free. (more…)
