Oh hey, it almost slipped my mind that Twilight Lynk’s third anniversary had just come and gone… well, better late than never, I guess.

I won’t bother doing the whole No More Heroes style introduction like I did with last years entry and the first entry for the site and get straight to the point…

There’s actually two things to celebrate in this entry, the first being our third anniversary, the second thing being that the The Nintendo Wii U tablet controller needs some changes entry was our 100th entry since Twilight Lynk began.

For some reason I’m reminded of the first time I played Metroid Prime and I entered that corridor full of pipes that were spraying steam everywhere… and then when I walked through the steam, Samus’ visor fogged up and I was like “I’m trippin’ balls man”…

Twilight Lynk now has its own group on Steam Community… which you’d think would’ve happened sooner but I’ve only now just started a Steam account and bought a few games on there.

The group is currently set to private since this is a pretty small community, but if you add me to your friends list I can send you an invite right away.

For some odd reason, I completely skipped out on the fact that Twilight Lynk hit its first anniversary a year back… but not this time.

Once a webmaster of an anime site; the bodies of anime babes littered my mind… Much has changed since then; anime no longer has any value for me and the true video gamer that I’ve always been has taken over once again. This was my chance to engage in a web site about something that I truly loved, something I could share with others… but everything I wrote about in my first entry on this site hasn’t gone according to plan. While this site has gotten some nice traffic coming in, it seems that the community interactions I talked about long ago aren’t as active and lively as I thought they would be. Here, there are few who post and many who lurk. And through this all, one truth is constant: I’ll still post blog entries even if people don’t comment on them. I won’t walk away from it, I’ll keep posting and say what I have to say… This is MY “Desperate Struggle”…

Hold it you video game loving bastards! Before we start our desperate struggling, you should drop a nice save…

I’ve hinted at a pretty big announcement not so long ago and here it is!

LucasCast is the official podcast for the LucasArts Fan Network where we talk about LucasArts games and the vidya in general… and I’m in it! Go to the site and listen to it there or download it to your PC and/or mp3 player. Enjoy.

Also, don’t forget to vote on the new poll.

I’ll be getting Valkyria Chronicles on Thursday so I haven’t had that much to do lately. However, I haven’t been wasting time twiddling my thumbs as I wait, nope, there are important things that were done in the last week or so.

I’ve been working on the site design for StarWarsMMO.net which has just launched… right now! This site is part of the LucasArts Fan Network, the same folks who run LucasForums.com. It’s dedicated to The Old Republic MMO which is being developed by LucasArts and BioWare.

Ever since I came up with the concept for the web site, I’ve always had the intention of writing my own reviews of all (well… as many as I can) of the video games out there. However, when you come right down to it, I’m no professional journalist and at this point in time, very few people would actually listen to what I would have to say over any number of more mainstream reviewers out there… that’s okay though, considering that with every game review those in the mainstream media lose credibility.

…After all, how many of us laughed our asses off when we saw Grand Theft Auto IV and Metal Gear Solid 4 score 10 out of 10s at various web sites? For a time it seemed like everything was going to be scored 10 out of 10 across the board. The worst part is that those games don’t even deserve a perfect score. I agree that both of those games are very good in their own ways, but there was still a lot wrong with them to be scaled in such a way. I feel as though every review score posted lowers the collective IQ of the reviewer and their audience.

Hey, I’m Lynk Former, creator of this brand new video game community site called “Twilight Lynk.”

I know a lot of gamers out there don’t have much patience. At least that’s what I gather when I look around the net. So I decided to create a community environment where gamers can come and interact freely with other gamers. I’ll be posting up articles voicing my opinion as a regular every day gamer and in turn will encourage you to respond with your thoughts. Whether we agree with each other on issues is beside the point, what this place aims to do is to let you express yourself and have fun doing it.

And yeah, I want this site to be #1. It’s going to be a long, hard road, but who knows? Could kick ass. Could be dangerous. Could totally suck. What do you say, bro? Join me, let’s see how far we can take this. And for you there holding the mouse in hand right now? Just click register now! Let the madness begin!
