I'm going to record answers to a whole lot of questions today. We've already got a slew of remarks and regards from our Twitter followers, and there's a thread in our forums, but if you tend to hang out on our front page, you've got one thing to learn:

We want to hear from you too.

If you've got a comment, questions, criticism, remark, whether it's about video games, life, love, movies, or music, let us know! Put your thoughts in the comments below or e-mail them to daniel@gamerevolution.com. We'll even answer your advice questions, but we can't guarantee that it'll work out very well for you.

Here's a question anyone think sony is kinda dumb for not putting two thumb nubs on the psp...I mean isn't it kinda taking a step back since it makes aiming and walking so much easier

Here's a question, where did Blake get to? Haven't seen anything from him in over a month!

I was thinking that myself. Didn't want to say anything because I was worried about having bad news like "Blake got the hammer, sorry fellas."

Blake's unfortunately no longer here with the site, but we are all still good friends and wish him the very best. You can check him out at gotgame.com.

Just a suggestion, Anthony. You guys might want to update the GR Staff page.

That IS a good one. Last week we were at E3 so we were too tired/drunk/passed out to do it. This week we've got a $20 PSN card. Look out for the post a little later today.

That said, we're looking into revamping and reinvigorating Haiku Fridays with a little more social influence.

Oh and above about the staff page, that's on our tech to do list, but we wanted to add the comment replies, and the rating system before E3, so we got a little side-tracked.

Lastly, since I love you guys (especially you, Ugh) I wanted to leave this little teaser for Monday. We're giving away 5,000 closed beta codes next week. That's right, 5,000.

I knew there was something missing, Blake! Damn! Also, where's Alex? My only advice would be to hire more people and review more games, it sucks when I want to read a review about a certain game, run a search and find out you guys didn't review the game in question (and it happens a lot).

Either we didn't get the game from the publisher or yeah, we're unfortunately understaffed and over worked.
Maybe I could help you out on a specific game? What were you looking for?
Sweet icon upgrade btw.

@danielrbischoff: appreciate the offer! I can't think of anything in particular right now, it's just sometimes I want to buy a used game or someone mentions a game and I get curious but you guys didn't review it. Actually here's an example: yesterday I looked up Maximo Army of Zin and it's not there, and that was a fairly anticipated game for a quite popular franchise. Can't you guys set up a budget for rentals or something, that way you can just rent a game and review it.
For me, this is the definitive site for info when making a purchasing decision but most often than not the reviews are just not there.
Oh, and yeah people across the site have been changing icons so I thought I'd do it too haha! Thanks!

Here's a question: Why can't we delete any of the comments we made?

If a fat girl falls in the forrest do the trees laugh? If certain gas stations are open 24/7 why are there locks on the doors?
