Yeah, you read correctly: I, Vinchucca, am a hero. Not just me though; there are many of us. Hundreds, thousands, hundreds of thousands even! "Who are these heroes?", I can hear you pondering. Well...That's us: Gamers!

Think about it: How many times have we saved a city from a band of rampaging demons? Or protected a country from assault of an aggressor? Or prevented World War 3 and saved the world? Or, even better, saved the intere universe from certain doom? I myself have lost count by now.

Outsiders think this is easy, and think that we just do this as a hobby. But we know better then them. Saving the world is hard work, hard sweating and cursing till the morning hours! You often need nerves of steel. Just to remain quiet about the gallons of sugar-infused beverages en nutricious, by preference fried, meals. Every now and then some (mostly Korean) gamers die during the job. Life threatening work we have, but up until now no security rules are in sight.

But it seems nobody really cares. Besides us gamers, nobody's really intrested. Your co-workers and friends make a doubtfull face when you try to explain them the Covenant HAD to be stopped. If not the Prophet of Truth would have activated the Halo's through the Ark, and that was something we could not allow to happen.

And let's avoid the subject of women. When you try to explain them that gaming is important, the only thing you get in return is incomprehension or despise. Apparently gamers aren't ranked particularly high on the list of potential partners. No, they'd rather have a surfer or soccer player. A soccer player!? How kicking a ball for 90 minutes and taking a shower with everyone afterward is going to save the world? Beats the hell out of me! Seriously.... think about it ladies!

also, if I did my programming right, I'm sure that we'll be in the iTunes directory soon. As well as in a few other directories.

The forum is still there, a link is found at the left side of your screen. so basically... we now have hosting, a new webplace, RSS feed, AND directory listing.... and all this without any ads.

my wallet hates you people for that :p. But I as a person, love my fellow gamers.

I'm still suffering the bronchitis, but it's getting a lot better. so hopefully before the week is over, you people will get a review.
