So basically this is Brant's diary made public.

Brant - your analysis of the typical person who reads and contributes to the site are on the money.

If you want to be a writer, you have to write.  That is one of the reasons why I'm going to leave management.  I want more time to write.

Last, has the amazon links return rate picked up since your "keeping the lights on" plea went out?

Not quite, but yeah, it's going to be a lot of my personal thoughts rather than more 'formal' news coverage.

Great entry for the column.

I did get a chuckle over your acknowledgment that you're not "the guy that runs GrogHeads", yet you still signed off as "Bayonet 06". Teehee.  :2funny:

I'm impressed. You used "cognizant" in a paragraph so casually it looked like you actually knew what you were doing with it. O0

So I finally came up from the forum dungeon to investigate the mythical front pages, lured by the tracer rounds clickbait... glad I did. Writers psuedo-catharsis is usually quite good and yours in your inaugural column, did not disappoint.

Despite the glare of that annoying yellow sphere in the sky, I will regularly climb from the forum dungeon to the front page if only to read the column.

That's some pretty alright stuff there, Brant.  I look forward to the upcoming brain droppings.  And the tunes.

I came to Grogs to get honest feedback about the games I wanted to play or not play and have not found anywhere a more complete and honest opinions of all aspects of gaming as well as damned-good fun to boot. This place is part Smithsonian and part Tatooie Cantina but always worth the time.
