Hey all you GameSpot folk.

As you may have noticed, I've been increasingly silent around these parts. Why? Well let me tell you. Way back when this site was knee deep in glitches and problems, around the same time as the whole Jeff thing, I decided to get back into making my own website. In particular, a personal blog and visual collective of my art works.

Still in a pre alpha state it's coming on nicely. One of the biggest problems so far was screen resolutions. I sit here with two 22" monitors and I have to cater for a minimum of 1024x768, which any web designer will tell you is the most popular screen resolution. So thing's look a little narrow, much like GameSpot filling in the 800x600 market. Two huge sides of gray doing nothing. A secondary problem is cross browser support. In a way it's like making a game for the PS3 and X360. Both do things differently and so the end result is different. Never the less it needs to be done as Internet Explorer is the most popular browser followed by Firefox.

So what will become of me over here on GameSpot? Well I intend to use it as a Games Portal to track my latest gaming interests. And of course I have Common Wordage. Most of the blogging I do here is game related, as you would expect. I still intend to post on my GS Blog just real selected stuff. Plus it will all be available on the new blog anyway.

So when will this beast be unleashed? Well it's done when it's done. Unlike a game web design is incrimental and no final boxed version if sent out. It always updates. So as soon as I get the main elements in and it looking pretty I'll let rip on the URL.

Tar very much. Stay on me to get the latest news on it.

Its a little late but I did it. Enjoy the, admittedly short, 016 issue of Common Wordage. If you cam directly to this post you will need to check out my profile to see it.

In the wake of the (really quite good) Common Wordage Game Night I have put together this short promotional trailer to show people what they missed out on.

If you feel the urge to join the Common Wordage Union then click here to see what the fuss is all about. If you feel the urge to include this video on your blog then do that too. It can't do any harm and may actually help the union to grow.

The first Common Wordage Union Game Night is on for tonight (19th April) from 8pm GMT (Greenwich Mean Time). The game of choice is Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare for the Sony PLAYSTATION 3 Entertainment System.

The intention of a game night is different to a tournament in that it is not about being the best and winning a prize. Its about getting together and just playing the game. So if you fancy going up against or teaming up with the CWUnion staff and members feel free to pop on.

Chances are the games will take place in private, invite only lobbys. So your going to need to be on someone's friends list. Feel free to add me (PSN ID = EpicTel) and leave a note that your adding me for the game night. Private lobbys have no XP earning so its all about bragging rights.

Sometimes connecting to a game can be a hassle. So new invites will be sent out between each round. So you will only have to wait around 10 minutes or so to get into a game. Being a game night there are no set maps or rules, if I think of something 5 minutes before the start then so be it.

Hope to see you there.

This is an odd kind of day where I have managed to make two blog posts (Unusual for me). Never the less I need to point this out. Primarily because I was slightly shocked.

As I scrolled over the time on my PC it informed me it was April 1st. For some reason I had managed to lose track of how late in the month of March I was and suddenly ended up in April. Its either that or I managed to time travel, I remember it being the 26th so only by almost a week. In addition to the first odd occurrence of two blogs in one day, I also found it quite odd that when my inital shock, of it being April (already), wore off, the first thing I thought of when seeing April was Grand Theft Auto 4. Shortly followed by the idea of writing about this amazing event (Hint of exaggeration there) then by it also being April Fools Day.

So just 29 days until GTA 4. I'm getting the special edition, the one with all the stuff I don't really need but want due to the human need to consume more than whats necessary.

Woo.

Userly I post a quick blog after the release of Common Wordage. And this is no different, just a little late. So yeah, Common Wordage Issue 015 April is up. Enjoy
