Slowly Turning To The Dark Side!

Bits and Bobs

Firstly..

Hasbro.. what are they playing at? I found out yesterday that after my horror week that I posted about HERE, that my Boba Fett Unleashed figure is also broken X-(
Usually this wouldn't be too much of a problem and I'd just buy another one, but I can't find one in any shop and eBay have them for no less than £60 (that's about $110) which I think is a bloody liberty! On top of this, there have been more than a couple of people unhappy with the lack of Scorch figures knocking about, they are obviously in demand, why don't they make more to meet demand?

C'mon Hasbro, Sort it out!

Secondly..

Who decides what the Blog of the Day is? There are some great Blogs out there, well worthy of the title but they get passed over by someone who hasn't posted an entry in months, and the other day the Blog of the Day had only one entry!
Now this is not bitterness because I can honestly say that I haven't written any really good stuff in ages but neither have the people who have recently won this accolade. (I'm not talking of Karen Traviss because she has got a decent Blog with a lot of good entries.) It's not a problem but it does confuse me!

Next..

I found this somewhere, it amused me so I thought I'd show you good people!

Lastly..

A friend of mine has started an X-Files fan forum on xfilesforum.net It's quite a tidy little site, they've got some good little games on there and general chit-chat, and I said I'd post a link here, so pop over and have a look!

I think we have a nomination thread on the blog feedback forum, but I've barely seen it used. Also, VIP blogs get featured frequently, seemingly regardless of how regularly they're updated. I don't mind seeing Aaron Allston's blog featured (even though it is very new) because, well, he's Aaron Allston. But I agree, it looks like a lot of good bloggers are not getting recognized.

Thanks for the video link. Indeed, it was amusing!

That was great! Thanks for posting that...

It's not a problem but it does confuse me!

I agree, there are a few things around here that are a mystery....

Yeah...it annoys me that the feautured blog nominations are basically ignored. I nominated Kenobi-fan's and Oboe-wan's blogs a good while back, but the post I submitted wasn't even publicly posted. I haven't checked back there in weeks, though...maybe I should do that.

My two cents...the featured blog should be written by a plain old Joe. The famous among us already have their followings. This has nothing to do with me. My sap is hardly feature-worthy. But there are several excellent blogs that are overlooked.

I thought it was Bonnie that personally chose the Blogs to be featured. I have seen her lots of time write something like: "I liked this so much I'll put it up as blog of the day"

Obviously it was never on any of MY blog entries.
