Buttonmashing.com turns 2!

Welcome to buttonmashing.com, a weblog were we talk about video games. If you're new here or you arrived from a Google search, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed and keep up with our site.

Help me blow out the candles on buttonmashing.com’s second birthday cake! It’s hard for me to believe that another year has passed, but two years ago to the day buttonmashing.com went live.

A lot has happened in the past year, both here at Buttonmashing and in the gaming community as a whole. Some highlights:

The GTA Hot Cofee scandal (which will not go away!)
My blogger validation came as I obtained a “stalker” (who is really just a friend that wanted me to discover Harry Potter)
I noticed a lot of posts trying to refute all the crap that Jack Thompson spewed. I’m particularly fond of this one, which also helped on a poor gamer to convince his mom to get him Resident Evil 4 and helped another lost soul with his homework.
The 360 was launched on the world, and I didn’t get one. Poor me.
A whole year of Carnivals, including one held at Slashdot Games.

A crazy year, indeed. Thanks again to all you who’ve stuck around through the thick and thin, to all the Carnies, and to everyone who’s ever read/commented on/linked something here at buttonmashing.com. I appreciate all the feedback. It’s been a great two years. Here’s to another great year.

Before I blow out the candles, I should probably make a wish… (DS Lite… DS Lite… DS Lite…)

Congrats on the big two point oh! I haven’t had a spare moment to put together a sample alternate banner, but I haven’t forgotten about you!

Happy birthday.

Soon Buttonmashing will be potty trained and eating chicken right off the bone. How the years fly by.
