When I started this blog in 2003, it was well before Facebook, Twitter and other social networks – I did it as a service to the Xbox community where anyone could stop by and catch up on the latest Xbox news, game releases and leave a comment. There are now thousands of places online where real time and spirited conversation are taking place, therefore blog comments (at least here) have become rather quiet as the majority of conversations have moved to Twitter, Facebook, Reddit etc.

As such, starting today the ability to leave a comment on the blog is no longer available.

Thanks for your continued support and understanding and feel free to reach out to me on Twitter or via email if you have further questions.

TL;dr As of today, I am removing the ability to leave a comment on this site. Everything else stays the same.

We added a feature that will allow you to go to blog comments with one click. While reading a post, click the comments balloon (or comment number) located directly under the post date/time and you’ll be whisked straight to the comments. Go ahead and try it.

See the GIF below for an example.
