Two new emblems are around the site.
Member spotlight emblem and Part of the Flock
That is all for now folks. Enjoy E3 and have a great week. And as always, if you get more than one of this PM, its thanks to bugs on the site that mess with the telegrams. Its not that I'm trying to spam your inbox with this newsletter.
The lions lay down with the lambs.
Those who attended a game night with a full pride of skilled staff receive this emblem for playing against the GameSpot lions. Watch out for this user. Either their fragile ego has been crushed by the staff or they are a wolf in sheep's clothing.

GameSpot stamped me as remarkable!
GameSpot members who frequently update their profiles with blogs, images, videos and reviews are remarkable! Those featured in the member spotlight are hand picked for having an informative about me page and interesting blog. Hats off to borninvincible for creating the emblem.

Hello members of The Emblems Union. Been a long while since I sent out a telegram hasn't it? Well any who there is an emblem making activity going on down at the board. Note this is NOT a real contest in which you get anything (Other than the winner getting to have their work used as an emblem) Read the full details Here It has all the info you need. If you have a question just ask in that topic. And as always being that the telegram system is bugged out full blown, your gonna end up with more than one of this PM. Not my fault. Half the members won't even get it while the other half gets two or three... so feel free to blog this as well. Those of you that have a design union, let your members know of this as well if you want. The more the better ^_^
Thanks for taking the time to read.

| UPDATE: We will be granting an emblem in celebration of the return of game nights in 2009. Participants will receive an emblem after roll call is complete. The sure way to receive the emblem is to join the GameSpot chatroom and show that you partiicpated in some matches. If you cannot get into the chatroom make sure staff or moderator have seen you partiicpate in a match and then post in this thread. |
IMPORTANT UPDATE about mature rating: If you are unable to participate because of the ESRB rating or cannot attend this event due to the times, we still want you to celebrate the return of game nights and receive the emblem through another kind of participation. On Wednesday I'll post a zombie trivia. Another thread will be created for this little activity and everyone can participate regardless if they were in-game on Tuesday night or not. We don't want to exclude anyone. 
Thanks!

GameSpot's coverage of the Game Developers Conference for 2009 starts today. Make sure to check it out and feel free to vist this thread and discuss anything related to the show. Remember, a live feed may be possible sometime during the week so keep an eye on the thread for any information that may be released. A PM may be sent out, but it might be last minute.
When: March 23rd-27th though some stuff is up already.
Emblem:Probably not. GS has never given one out for GDC, but if there is a LIVE feed it is possible or there could be one similar to the Electric Sheep/E3 Monster ones of the past.
Remember what Jody said about the Best of 08 emblem being gone forever? Well if you missed the first period thank your lucky stars as they will be offering another chance to report your case. Starting at some point today (23rd) they will be opening up this thread with details on how to report your missing emblem. You have Until the 27th to make a report in that thread.
THIS WILL BE YOUR FINAL CHANCE TO REPORT FOR THIS EMBLEM
Visit this thread for all the details about the latest GameSpot emblem. Be warned though that this emblem has already been handed out to everyone that will be receiving it and the event that got this emblem is long over.
Leader,
