LOL SO MONDAY!!!11

It's Monday again. On my last Monday post I asked for ideas on what my Monday posts should be called. Only one person answered so there is it. (Although slightly different so I cannot be sued later.) Still open for ideas though! SO POST SOME >:O

I had an eventful week. If you've read the past few days you'd know I had a friend under go surgery. She's doing great except she keeps losing at online scrabble. She responded to you nice followers but it was buried by new posts, you can read it here if you missed it.

CONTENT TIEMZ!

BlogWaveNet
Blogwave is a podcast that talks about a lot of things that are helpful for bloggers. They share a bunch of helpful tips and hints that anyone serious about blogging should be interested in. My blog was featured on their latest cast, where they talked about my layouts and themes and gave feedback and called me a F.A.G. (which I can only imagine stands for Freaking Awesome Guy.) But seriously, they're hilarious, and they give genuinely useful advice. Definitely check them out if you haven't already. And even if you have, go check them out again. They've seriously earned more love than they get.

New Comment Form!
So starting with this post on, I should have a new comment form set up. It looks a lot sexier than the default comment form. It's easy peasy to install too so I wanted to share it with everyone. You basically just go to http://www.intensedebate.com/ and follow the 3 steps. It's that easy. The comment boxes use avatars from http://en.gravatar.com/ after you've added them to your blog.

It makes replying and commenting a bit simpler. Hopefully this gets out more and people start using it, It'd would be cool to get everyone motivated to create an avatar. I think so anyways...

AVGN Christmas Special
I don't think there's anyone interested in classic gaming with internet access that hasn't heard of the Nerd. Every year he does a Christmas special and he released his 2010 one a few days back. It's a bit different than his usual style but it's all good. It really impressed me and it's worth watching, go check it out here.

He also released a sort of retrospect video that revisits each holiday special. There's no game review or anger here, just James looking back with not so find memories. You can check that out here.

Starcraft GSL 3 Final Match
Just another reminder and update, the Starcraft 2 GSL 3 finals have been scheduled two hours ahead of normal. They will be held Dec 18th, 2010 12AMPST/17:00 KST (GMT+9). They will be a best of 7 between TSL_Rain and oGsMC and you can watch the live stream for free at GOMtv.net

I used to have intensedebate installed on my blog too, yet I didn't link the way to moderate comments so I came back to the original comment style! Still, I enjoy comming on blogs who got this so whatever! :P
Freaking Awesome Guy!
Ah yes, I've been on the fence about this type of comment form. Fits well with your page.
For Mondays...well, can you record your screen/video? I have only been on your blog (from BlogWave) for two days now (also, nice f.a.g. defense; wish I thought of it!) so I don't know if you have that capability.
Thanks for the GSL-3 update.

lol so monday :P
testing, testing, 1,2,3
i use the same form, nice to see at least SOMEONE else doing it lol. the only thing that sucks is you have to visit intensedebate.com every once in a while to see if messages got sent to your spam folder... just makes it so you have to open up one more tab doing your blogging stuff. other than that, good stuff.
cool comment form
The new comment form looks nice!
The new comment form looks pretty good. But I don't think I can post under my gmail account anymore can I?

Also, you totally only won at Scrabble because I was off my face on painkillers. It won't happen again. :D

I do like the new comment form! Nested threads are awesome :D
Digging the new commenting style. Happy Holidays to vidya gamers round the world...
i too have been considering switching my comments to this form, it looks good on your page.
Just wondering, will they have commentators for the SC match?

I've had this comment form under the radar for quite some time, just wasn't sure it would be a good idea to install it because not many people use it, I'll probably install it soon now that you have it too and maybe more will

yeah the comment form looks smooth
Freakin Awesome Guy indeed. great post!
I will admit that I had actually forgotten about the Nerd til you mentioned him (hadn't looked at him in a good year or so). Thanks.

That aside, my vote for a Monday name is : "The Not-Tuesday Updates"
Great tips there, thank you!
