GAMES: GameSpot GameFAQs MOVIES: Metacritic Movietome Comic-Con
Thursday, Aug 20, 2009

The The Final Blog Series is finally here. That means no more banscythes and no more exclusive attempts of murder on your opinions. I bet some of you are happy. This isn't exactly Gamespot's fault that I decided to stop blogging, it's just something I felt as I should do at this point and time in my life. And once the final blog is online, it'll take something rather huge for me to ever make a blog again and contradict the word "final". With that said, you've been forewarned, the next few blogs will not be casual or "easy" in the slightest. As followed:

~ Top 5 Boss Battles - 3 Blog Articles

~ What Angers Us All - 1 Blog Article

~ Symphonitic Comments - 2nd Edition Article

~ Insight On My Life and Moral Standings - 1 Blog Article

~ Top 3 Emotional Moments - 2 Blog Articles

~ Prelude A La' Finale ~Where To Contact Me - 1 Blog Article

~ Final Blog - 1 Blog Article

Ten More blogs to go. I hope my dedicated commenters that stayed with me (,some, for literally years now) make these last ten count. From here on out, the rule stays the same: You reply to mine, I reply to yours. Best way for me to keep up with blogs.

I find it amusing how people on this site (more than any other) decide to up and leave for no reason, and in your case - quit blogging. Are you lazy or do you simply not see the point to it anymore? Either way I hope it's not some desperate cry for attention and I do hope to continue hearing what you have to say in the future. Best of luck to you, sir.

@PUREPL7YA: You're.....new to my blogs, right? If you go back through my blog history, I don't really suffer from a lack of attention here, nor do I ever run out of things to talk about. I just need to fix something in real life and to stop blogging would help that.

@Nightmare-_-: I'm sure I'll have fun. And I'll do my best not to bash anybody's opinion on this too.
Posted Aug 20, 2009 8:59 am PT
So you're not gonna bash peoples favorite games anymore? I always thought it was funny when you did that.

IT'S THE FINAL COUNTDOWN DUH DUH DUH DUH DUH DUH DUH DUH DUHHHH!!!!!

Hmm seems a bit weird you'd announce your final blog 10 blogs beforehand. Most people just kinda fade away

Not a big fan of the I post on yours you post on my blog rule neither, but since I usually post it doesn't really effect me anyway. Ahwell I'll be here for the last 10 blogs as I've been for a while, I'll see if you actually keep away though
Posted Aug 20, 2009 9:47 am PT
Aww well your choice though about what you want to do and everything. I look forward to the last of your blogs.
Posted Aug 20, 2009 9:58 am PT
Can't wait for your Symphonitic Comments blog.... and all the other ones, Sounds you'll be taking a break.
Posted Aug 20, 2009 10:20 am PT
@Symphony: Yeah unfortunately I am new to your blogs... but I think they are all great, which should further give you all the more reason not to stop. But I do want you to know that I don't mean to sound like a d*ckhead when I ask - why?!?! lol...anyway, I hope you can sort out whatever it is that's troubling you and maybe I'll read a blog about it in the future?
Posted Aug 20, 2009 10:21 am PT
looking forward to the Boss fights
Posted Aug 20, 2009 10:37 am PT
Cool beans. The blogs that is, not the leaving bit...
Posted Aug 20, 2009 10:47 am PT
I'm not sure I could stop for long... sometimes typing the pages of waffle and ranting is all that keeps me sane.

Is it just blogging that's going to stop or is it total GS desertion?
Posted Aug 20, 2009 10:53 am PT
I better get a mention. Remember that time we got drunk together and you had to drag me out of the bar....Good times.
Posted Aug 20, 2009 11:07 am PT
I ACCEPT YOUR CHALLENGE!
Posted Aug 20, 2009 11:48 am PT
Yup, I'll stay with you for your last blogs.
Posted Aug 20, 2009 1:16 pm PT
Ive enjoyed reading some of your blogs looking forward to these last ones
Posted Aug 20, 2009 2:40 pm PT
@bigmouthkid: Haha, thanks. But I've done that for enough blogs, right?

@theycallmeryan: *Dramatic drumroll*

@The_Tombo: I didn't want to say that the judges get an auto-comment to their blogs because then it would look like I'm being bias. A lot of people don't even know what a banscythe is, you know? So they would probably go "What are banjudges?"

@PUREPL7YA: I figured you didn't mean any harm by the post...(Well, I figured at the very last possible moment of posting. XD) which is why I didn't just go ape on you. The Insight On My Life blog might explain things a bit better to why I will stop blogging.

@TTDog: Yeah. Those blogs surely cover a lot on your mind about a certain topic. Whenever I do officially leave Gamespot, I will have known that I have at least read a novel's worth from you alone. As for when I will leave for good, I don't really know, but it will be a slow and fading leave and without any fanfare or anything. But I shall be posting on your blogs (should be) a bit after the Final Blog.

@The_Tombo: You're right. Not many people make a blog for a countdown. But hey, it's me. I have to do 77% of things differently.

@K1LLR3175: Yeah...good times mate.

@Scianix-Black: GREAT! What exactly is the challenge? lol

@Flame_Blade88: Awesome sauce. Thanks. I'm sure I'll appreciate all contributions to make these blogs as readable as possible.
Posted Aug 20, 2009 3:09 pm PT
@lab223: Awesome! I didn't even know you were reading my blogs! Makes me wonder if anyone else reads them without me knowing. lol
Posted Aug 20, 2009 3:09 pm PT
Commenting in a blog about a blog. Hmm...
Posted Aug 20, 2009 3:18 pm PT
So with no blogs to comment on how is the sad little kid going to thumb down all my comments?

We have to think of the children!!!!!
Posted Aug 20, 2009 3:20 pm PT
Looking forward to these last blogs. I'll try my best to get around to commenting on all of them, but I'm really bad about checking the blog feed. Plus I have some friends on here that blog almost everyday so some of them will get bumped off the 5 shown pretty quickly
Posted Aug 20, 2009 3:24 pm PT
The PS3 has no games...d

@galerian86: You are now familiar with how I blog now!

@TTDog: Perhaps you should get a few on your blog then. It'll be like the old days then

@BPoole96: Don't worry if you can't make it to all of them. Just read the ones that are of interest if you want.
Posted Aug 20, 2009 4:27 pm PT
I can already tell some of those are gonna piss me off if they don't turn out the way I think they should. But hey, it's not my blog, right?
Posted Aug 20, 2009 10:45 pm PT
@KH-mixerX: Haha, nah. They shouldn't at least. Final Fantasy XII isn't mentioned whatsoever. I believe I'm only going to be doing praises on the games I loved. Unless of course that's what you meant when you said some of these would tick you off. If that's the case, I don't know what to say. lol o.o;;
Posted Aug 20, 2009 11:28 pm PT
Ya, thats pretty much what I meant. At least about the top 5 best boss battles entry and the top 3 emotional moments entry. If a certain ending in a certain game with a 10 in it doesn't get mentioned in that entry...let me just put it mildly and say that they'll be problems.
Posted Aug 20, 2009 11:34 pm PT
Well I honestly can't wait for them, but I won't be happy that there won't be any more blogging
Posted Aug 21, 2009 12:42 am PT
BTW, whats your reason for ending your blog? I mean there's gotta be something beyond "it just feels like the time is right." Y'know, there's a reason why these forums have gone down the tubes. Its because people like symphony here wanna end good things. Like this blog. I know these aren't the forums, but its stuff like this(and people getting banned) that kill the environment. What I'm really trying to say, is that I don't think you should terminate your blog activity symph. We all enjoy reading it, and I'm sure you enjoy writing in it. I see no reason why it should end this way. Just like I didn't see the reason in K1LLR ending his forum activity.
Posted Aug 21, 2009 12:44 am PT
Holy eff.

So that's how it ends eh? Not with a whimper, but with a gigantic mother trucking bang?

Well then, my friend, may the short time we have remaining be an epic one.

@theycallmeryan: Screw you man, that song is looping in my head now
Posted Aug 21, 2009 2:58 am PT
@hazel That's what I'm here for .
Posted Aug 21, 2009 1:19 pm PT
Woah, you're last blog posts?!? Man I've been away for far too long, though nowadays I've been hanging around the GT boards, going to college, going to work, playing games, watching anime, etc, etc. I must be here for these last blog posts. Sorry I've been away but man, I just haven't been on Gamespot like I used to before.
Posted Aug 21, 2009 10:05 pm PT
@KH-mixerX: I'm sure we'll have something to bicker over then. We can make like...the ultimate arguing scenario, where everyone picks a side while the cowards flee to the sidelines! (It's a joke, guys.)

As for better reasons for my leaving, it will be explained in my most personal blog ever.

@Bioshockraptor: Gotta prepare for some thing is all. I'm sure someone even better will come up and replace my blogs. Maybe someone with more understanding than I. Ohwait, Hazelnutman's already here.

@hazelnutman: It will be! All we need is a friend-breaking argument with an anime-styled makeup near the end of my blogs....without the yaoi. No yaoi!

@game_masta14: It's fine my friend. At least you're here for my finale.
Posted Aug 21, 2009 10:53 pm PT
Make it a good reason. I don't think I could take a half-hearted cop out from such a user as yourself.
Posted Aug 21, 2009 11:48 pm PT
But is Yuri cool?
Posted Aug 22, 2009 3:27 am PT
@hazelnutman: What you said would be an epic hit there. Problem with that is, I don't approve of yuri either. Because of all the following: Religion, Believer in "Natural in all of nature", and that I would also have to say incest was okay. You know, to be fair about the whole "It's natural (for humans)!" bit. So no. You had to have noticed I never bought up yuri for a reason.
Posted Aug 22, 2009 3:33 am PT
Wait, so do we have controversy over Yuri and Incest in anime? Cuz I'm all for Yuri and incest in 2D form.

EFF YEAH, WE HAVE A DISAGREEMENT HERE!!! BRB WRITING ESSAYS AND STATEMENTS ON THE SUBJECT.
Posted Aug 22, 2009 3:50 am PT
While you're at it, include that I don't approve of any of the three in real life either. lol
Posted Aug 22, 2009 4:06 am PT
Woot emotional moments!

Have a game really made you cry like a sissy girl? Or...me.

This is completely off topic, but I just saw District 9 for the second time, and it was even better than the first!!!!!!!!!!!

Ooooh, I look forward to the "Insight On My Life and Moral Standings" blog. I don't comment on every single one of your blogs, but I definitely enjoy reading them and the comments you recieve. So I will miss them.
