Out of the Blue

I forgot to mention this last week, thanks to PC Pro magazine for recognizing Blue's News as one of their top 50 "secret" websites on the internet. We may not have the marketing push of some, but they seem to like that: "These aren't the well-known click magnets that traditionally top favourite website lists. Our 50 are the hidden gems without the multimillion marketing budgets; the lesser-known but no less worthy websites that you might not have come across before." Thanks GRiM.

I liked this show initially but then it got slow. I pretty much gave up watching beyond an entire episode devoted to finding gas. Wow... that's "great" television. zzzzzz...

We've been pushing him ever since to start it back up again, but i guess he's hesitant.

*points at sig*


I can't even remember how long it's been since I've had Blue's as my homepage. I think it was shortly after the name change.

edit: And one more thing, the one thing that bothered me the most about Irvin, was he was so PRO black on everything. The black man could do no wrong, everytime Keyshawn did something and the media was all over him, Irvin would always play the race card. Would never admit fault - it was just sickening.

Yup and he has been up Owens ass all along. Don't really care where he lands as I only watch Gameday or whatever the hell they call it now. I just wish they would go back to having Primetime. That NFL Blitz was crap.

Only one. Irvin was let go earlier this year thank god. Keshawn was not to bad at the draft. I can sure stand him better than Irvin any day.

oh thank god. wait....did anyone else pick him up! argh.

But, you have to remeber, irvin was ok when he first started, then his ego kicked in again, I can see the same thing OR WORSE happening with Keyshawn, since he is soooo much more of an asshole.

ugh, it pains me to even think about Sunday morning ESPN now....it used to be so damn good.

/edit: And one more thing, the one thing that bothered me the most about Irvin, was he was so PRO black on everything. The black man could do no wrong, everytime Keyshawn did something and the media was all over him, Irvin would always play the race card. Would never admit fault - it was just sickening.

It is like listening Madden talk about Favre 9that washed up has been drunk ass) - you would hope that Madden gives Favre a extra large bottle of Jergen's lotion before he jerks him off over the air week after week.

Admit fault and move on....

Anyone want to bet Keyshawn takes off his suit jacket and does situps in front of Berman while answering questions and giving his picks for the week, complaining how he is the star of the show, and he is bigger than ESPN? Fuggin idiot.

Clearly Keyshawn is a "shining star" and Irvin is just a "little flashlight" to ESPN

So we will have two idiot thugs who sucked at football that talked a much larger game than they could produce.

I remember the time when netscape was still a browser (heck even Mosaic was still around); add to that that Voodoo 3dfx and John Romero were still relevant when I first found Bluesnews. Out of all of the above, only Bluesnews managed to survive doing what it initially set out to do. Good Job Blue!!!

18. Well deserved May 23, 2007, 14:56 Wraithiis
 
Congratulations. It's a well deserved honor. I've been visiting this site for years now. I can't even recall how I ended up here so long ago. But, I normally visit bluesnews a half dozen times a day or so, and its usually my first stop. I'd be missing quite a bit of great info, without blue's tech reviews, patch and update notifications, game reviews, news...etc. Anyway, keep up the great work.

Excellent Blue! It is well deserved...and what do they mean hidden? Bluesnews was one of the first web sites I ever found back in 1996/97 when I was looking for information on Quake. I think I found your site even before I found planetquake. Your efforts are indispensible. I hope you continue forever.

But, really...Steam a secret? It makes me wonder if they even know about gamespy...I'll bet Mark Surfas is seething.

They must be kidding by listing Eurogamer as a secret. And the rest of those gaming sites must have been added when they were sniffing glue...if I had known they were looking for sites like those then I would have sent them links where people spend hours and loads of money playing online Mah Jong...a real jewel in the hidden and hopefully never found by anyone I know catagory.

Hey, VE3D was awesome until he sold out to the man (IGN network).
Um, how do I put this delicately ... Let's just say I prefer a more age-appropriate source of gaming news.

The move was a victory for the Cincinnati group, Citizens for Community Values. CCV collected thousands of petition signatures to place the issue before lawmakers.
God bless them. Those holy warriors for Christ! I now feel safer visiting Ohio without the fear that some naked chick will jump into my lap.

Indeed, but not quite homepage. I used to visit PlanetQuake pre-Gamespy conglomerate, along with BN.

yup - but, actually, my homepage was http://www.af.mil/ since it was one of very few pages at the time that had a refreshing homepage every 3-5 minutes. That kept my ISP online with "activity". Stupid modems.

11. ESPN has lost it - May 23, 2007, 13:24 xXBatmanXx
 
I know we talked extensively last year about how out of touch ESPN has become in choosing sportscaster for their different items, ie: Monday Night Football.

Now this:
http://tinyurl.com/2rtvlk

So we will have two idiot thugs who sucked at football that talked a much larger game than they could produce.
Johnson and Irvin - maybe they will move to a show on the same channel, so I can avoid both of them at the same time.
Oh yeah, and throw Madden in there with them so I can kill 3 birds with 1 stone.
