Site news / Our 1000th post |

Today is a bit of an anniversary here at That VideoGame Blog. In the few short months that we’ve been actively bringing you daily gaming news, editorials, reviews, and developer interviews, we have published 1000 posts, with this one you’re reading right now being the 1000th. And we’re just getting started.
Plans for the future
Looking into the future, there are several things in the works. In a few weeks time you’ll start noticing some design improvements around the site, starting with a redesigned sidebar and comment area, moving up to a fully reworked gallery. After that, efforts will be focused on getting forums up and introducing user accounts.
But looking at the immediate future, as in today, we’ll have another game giveaway for our loyal readers. Starting in a few hours, we’ll be looking to get rid of three games, so stay tuned! This event will lead up to yet another giveaway where a bit pricier gaming ‘device’ will be up for grabs. Hint: it’s something you can wear (nope, not the Power Glove).
Our writers
Our blogging team has been growing like crazy in last month. With almost 20 great writers aboard and several more to be welcomed soon, expect to see an ever increasing amount of new content to be added daily.
To all the writers, thank you! You guys are awesome. TVGB is only possible because of the time you put into creating great content. Let’s keep it up and we’ll be at 2000 posts in no time.
First times
There’s always a first time for everything, and here are a few of ours:
- First game review / Iridium Runners
- First non-game review / Speedfreek
- First developer interview / Zeno Clash developer ACE Team
- First comment / Sony orders ‘high-end’ brochures for PS3
- First post with over 50 comments / Xbox 360 already dead in Japan, no Xbox 720?
- First giveaway / “Frontlines: Fuel of War” merchandise giveaway
- First editorial / EA, We Have a Need for Speedy Chases

Woot!!! Love writing for the site, love reading the site, can’t wait for the next 1,000! I’m rather new to blogging for the site but I can safely say that I plan on being here for a loooong time. Rain deserves a ton of credit for the group of writer’s he’s put together, not to mention being the ONLY blogger for the first several months of the site’s existance, bravo Rain!

This is what I love to do, play videogames and share our knowledge with dedicated gamers around the world. No matter what comes up during the day, be assured that this is the only fun part of my day. Congrats Rain on an amazing site that is picking up some serious speed in only a few short months.

Sweet! CAKE! Congrats everybody, new writers and old, especially to Rain, who put this great blog together, and whose hard work has been the solid foundation to this blog. I’m also one of the newbies in the group, but so far, it’s been a great experience, and I’m sorry to say that TVGB is stuck with me. :P I think we’ve got a great group of writers here, each able to blog from their own personal preferences and gaming experiences. I can’t wait to see what the future has in store for us.
Here’s to another 1000 posts, and another 1000 after that. Next time, I’ll bring the cake!
