Penny Arcade on Bloggergate
Today's Penny Arcade comic covers a subject that is near and dear to us: the poor Nintendo employee who was fired for inappropriate statements made on her blog. Even though her blog was really mean to her coworkers, we feel a certain solidarity as Nintendo bloggers. Whether or not she deserved dismi...
Don't post where you eat: Nintendo fires employee for blogging

Blogging Zelda
As bloggers ourselves, we understand the incredible demand such a duty can take on a person.

Unfortunately, none of the Wii Fanboy staff reside in or speak the language of Japan.

Seen@Develop: BBC Tech Editor Darren Waters and Guardian GamesBlogger Greg Howson
On the second day of Develop, Jen and I got into a conversation with Darren Waters (right), the new Technology Editor over at BBC Interactive. In the middle of the conversation I mentioned The Guardian, and then the dude on the left piped up and said "I work for them". Turns out it was Greg Howson, ...
Power to bloggers
This ain't strictly gaming related, but there's no doubt that the decision last week by a California appeals court to grant bloggers the same First Amendment rights that are afforded to traditional journalists can be a good thing for gamers.
