1UP Gamers Blog Launch!!

August 6, 2007

Hi my name is Zee and Im the owner and creator of 1UPGamers.com. You’re probably thinking “Ah Jeez, not another forum slash blog slash community type gaming site” and you might be right but a few of you might also have had the honour of being part of the initial forum community back in October/November 2006. Those of you who were part of it cannot deny that it was not fun and although it only lasted for a couple of months it was certainly well worth it. In fact even now we have some how managed to keep it alive with just a trickle of its former traffic.

So what do a bunch of highly trained gaming moderators do when we get no visitors ? Well we go out and find visitors, we’re gonna write and write about all things gaming until we get back to where we were before and then surpass our former glory.

So who are these aged gamers we refer too, well most of us have been around for some time now and we don’t really care what platform we’re talking about or how long ago the game or machine was developed. To us a game is a game and if you can play it then its worth talking and writing about.

Infact if you don’t carry these concepts you’re not a “True Gamer!” Go on I dare you say it to any real gamer, tell them you’re not a true gamer and it will hurt, it will hurt so bad that their gut will wrench with pain and the insult will make them want to knock your block off. It’s the only true way to see if a gamer is really a hardcore gamer. I’ve tried it a couple of times with varying results and most of our writers have certainly passed the test.

So now that i have convinced you that we are worthy of your attention, that we love games so much that we dream about them Im sure you will continue to read to atleast the very end of this article. By the way the above statement is not a lie, its very sad but also true, I don’t really want go into the story but one time I was on a conference call at work and I actually dreamt I was playing a very loved game of mine in real life. It was like virtual reality and possibly the highlight of my life which is now coming up to a very long 29 years. Killer4hire another true gamer buddy of mine will certainly remember the story Im referring to and maybe one day I will disclose it to the public but for now let it remain a secret.

In conclusion, we’re a bunch of guys that play too many games, spend too much on them and ultimately love them more than is humanely possible. Remember you’re talking about guys who felt their dream job back in college was to be an employee at Electronics Boutique. Unfortunately that never became a reality for most of us and the regret I feel on a daily basis is too much for me to handle, but in mentioning my failures I want to part on a more positive note and launch this new blog with the hopes that it will one day grow and become one of the top gaming blogs on the internet. Is it possible well, we will just have to see won’t we.
