  • Gameblog wins awards!

    I’m proud to tell you, my dear readers, that Gameblog has won an award! Gone Gaming Board Game Internet Awards jury gave Gameblog the best session report award for my Essen 2005 coverage. That’s not all! Gameblog also got an honorable mention for the award of the best game blog (winner was Chris Farrell’s blog,…

  • Top ten games

    Here’s a list of games. Can you guess the order behind this top ten? Go Puerto Rico Carcassonne Die Macher St. Petersburg Age of Steam San Juan Gang of Four Sunda to Sahul Lost Cities It’s a list of games I’ve mentioned most often in this blog. Go and Puerto Rico really stand out (mentioned…

  • New colour

    After meddling with the colours and the looks at Lautapelaaja.net, I kind of realised this blog looks pretty boring. I mean, just one colour and black and white. More colours! EasyRGB Color harmonies tool gave me some blues and purples and I ended up with this. How do you like the new style?

  • Reworking the categories

    This blog has been categorized in a terrible way. The division between Less about games and More about games is idiotic. No librarian can be proud of a classification like that, no way. Thus, it’s time to re-work the categories. Sorry for the trouble! I’m going through my archives, throwing stuff from one bin to…

  • New Movable Type

    I’m now running Movable Type 3.121 here. Major changes include new, smarter URLs for entries (old files remain, so links are not entirely broken) and new commenting system. I now support TypeKey, which is a global registration service. If you register with TypeKey, you can use that id to comment in several blogs. In Gameblog,…

  • Some statistics

    I thought I’d entertain you with some statistics. This has nothing to do with games, but my blog, so feel free to skip this one. Anyway, I took everything I had written to Gameblog and wrote a program to count it. According to my counts, I’ve written about 135 000 words before this entry. That’s…

  • RSS feed with comments

    Because I have little to write about games, I’ll meddle with blog technology. Iain had one, it was cool, I want one: a RSS feed with comments included.

  • Best of the two years

    This blog is two years old now. It’s a fairly long time in the world of blogging, I think I read somewhere most blogs will fold in much shorter time. Hopefully Gameblog will continue for a long time. I wanted to compile some kind of list about the best entries I’ve written. I had some…

  • Two years, who could believe it

    On 26th, this blog turns two. Amazing. This is entry number 495; looking back a year, I’ve written about 30 entries less this year than last year, but hey, who’s counting. 500 entries in two years is pretty good pace, I’d say. Well, anyway. I thought I’d ask a favour from you, my dear readers.…

  • Related entries

    I added this wonderful new related entries plugin by Adam Kalsey. Tread lightly on the things of earth was very useful help, too. It’s quite neat, and hopefully it’ll be of use.
