GayGamer Week In Review - Week Of 8/04/08
- Fruit Brute whipped out his Video Scrapbook of Precious E3 Memories, asking a number of the assembled throng at the event oodles of questions, from their thoughts about the state of gaming to their personal grooming habits. Check out links to all the videos in this post.
- Wootini gave us his (probably) penultimate Weekly Wii Fit Update.
- Our first poll ended, seeing Kilik crowned the dreamiest date of the Soul Calibur IV gang. This weeks poll, ending very soon, asked you to tell us which is the sexiest lady in the game.
- A few proud GayGamers met up at Coney Island for hot dogs and roller coasters.
- We got word of preorder bonuses for Little Big Planet, although we're still in the dark about what bonuses go with which stores.
- The XBLA update brought us Braid, quickly gaining steam as one of this years most talked about titles, even if it won't necessarily be on the list of most played.
- A cross-dressing detective game is announced for the DS in Japan.
- Sega said they'll try harder with future Sonic games, but are they just crying werewolf?
- Sony announced that they'll be opening up slots in the Playstation Home beta, and you could get a shot just by downloading the Home theme from PSN.
- Epic revealed that a life-sized Lancer replica will be available at the launch of Gears of War 2. Chainsaw. Machine gun. Overzealous authority figures already terrified of violent gamers. I'm sure this is going to end well.

Other stuff like this: weekend wrap-up
Don't forget that SCEE also announced that it has plans to widen the Home beta as well. GayGamers are also from that funny, strange place called "The Rest of the world" too, not just America. I wish you guys would remember this! You did it with that Playstation Store sale article as well and I'm sure you've done before (and will do again).
GayGamer is a fun place to go to get news and some original content but if you start ignoring your worldwide audience in favour of your more easy to report for US audience then I'll go elsewhere.
As someone from England myself, I feel I should point out that this site is majority American, both run and in actual server location, and in actual visitors.
I see no problem with heavily favouring of the United States in news pieces, it is a US website, how much or little they cover is entirely up to them.
I don't feel isolated or ignored, as it just isn't the case, and I feel no need to cry wolf either.
@Richard: If you look at the article that this article refers to concerning the Home beta you would have seen this at the end:
"And for our European readers, don't despair! SCEE will be contacting you soon regarding their expanded Home beta. If you want to get a chance to be in on it, you best start making use of the PSN since users with the most activity will be the ones targeted for admission."
It's hard for us to keep up on a lot of Euro news since we simply aren't there. I would love to bring on someone as a correspondent, but finding people willing to work for free is difficult at best. We shall keep trying though!
