For those of you that don't know or remember me my name is Joshen. I don't expect anyone to remember me because I haven't wrote a gaming relevant article in some time, but that's because I haven't been gaming. I have not played an MMO for months and to be honest, the amount of time that has been liberated for me to pursue other things was enormous, but on the other hand I feel like I lost a very calming, exciting and meaningful activity. 

I've been searching for an MMO to replace my last regular game DoMo For quite a while. I just couldn't find anything to replace my regular and then it happened. Somewhere along the line I lost the will to continue looking. I began playing single player console games again and attempting to schedule the majority of my time to achieving life goals instead of completing quest.

     Today is indeed a dark day. The world mourns, as the man who made the moonwalk famous returns back to the earth from which he came. Michael Jackson has died today, June, 25th 2009. The cause of death has now been confirmed to be cardiac arrest. Michael Jackson was indeed larger than life. His talent could be described by many adjectives, most of them will fall under the categories unreal, awesome and gigantic. We can not imagine an artist stepping forward and re-creating the magic that is Thriller, Beat it, Scream, Never Can Say Goodbye, or any one of the numerous titles that Michael has released. We as a people can only hope to capture that intense lightning in a bottle once more. One more time for future generations to enjoy. Michael's death will be mourned by many, gamers and non-gamers alike. He has left for the world an extensive discography, movies, music videos and for us here at mmosite Michael left us a game.

I want to pay respect to those special women inside each and every MMO. They are behind every controller, keyboard, mouse, and monitor. They raid dungeons and player level the weak. They love games but they love their children even more. Have a happy mothers day. Thank you for teaching us respect and patience. It's because of you we can wait at spawn point for three hours and keep our cool. It's your love and compassion that keeps the internet and electricity turned on. We take you for granted and you love us anyway.

HOORAY FOR THE MOTHERS!

     Everyone knows that blogging for MMOSite is one of the 7 pleasures left in today's world, that can completely consume your soul. The problem is how do we write an article that satisfies our narcissistic need to see our own article featured in that top left window to glory. Many have blogged their hearts out but only a set few have made it. It makes one start to question themselves, does my writing suck? Am I not on the cutting edge of gaming and pop culture? Is my opinion really irrelevant? All those things just may be true! In the off chance that they aren't though here are a few suggestions, my top ten tips,  to get your own feature article into the Valhalla which is the MMOSITE front page.
