  The meaning behind Breezing By....

  What is the meannig behind CaliGirl's Breezing By?

  You've probably seen me use this term and yet I have never explained the meaning behind it. In fact, my blog here on GameSpot was renamed to Breezing by back when I first started working here. I think my XBL account also has it. I just use the term without realizing it.

  To give you a little background, I worked with four gaming networks that contained nearly 100 fansites. Taking a moment to share what was happening in my gaming or personal life was often rushed. The hours I put into these gaming networkwas to an extreme: four bosses, and well that also meant four paychecks!But, the hours and time constraints often made it diffiuclt to share my own gaming experiences.

  At some point I decided that I wanted to share more things that I did, like the latest game I played or an event I attended. But, that was often rushed. One day I pictured myself likeVelocity from Cyberforce (Top Cow Comics) while writing a rushed news entry about my latest happening. Velocity passed by people and it would appear as if it was a windy breeze. So, now you know why I've used it. My love for the Cyberforce comic book series and Velocity's super power to run super fast.

  

  I'd like to start giving you monthly Breezing By editions. That way, if I didn't get a moment to share something in a blog entry, you could at least get the Breezing by edition for the month. I would also like to use these blogs to answer some of your questions. So, feel free to ask away!

  Keep a look out for the January edition in the next day or so!

  Game Industry & Community

  Back in the days when I provided news, game info and web design across four gaming networks there was a lack of community interaction on the official game websites. Forums were often the only thing a publisher or developer offered, if that. Fan sites were considered the only place for community content. That's just not the case anymore.

  If you haven't been paying attention to the community news lately, the game industry community news I used to report returned last September..

  Check to see see what the official game communities have offered over the past few months.

  Jan 18 2012 highlights community news from Trion, Capcom, Sony PlayStation, Activision/Blizzard, Bethesda, Funcom, Perfect World, and Riot Games

  Jan 5 2012 highlights community news from Sony PlayStation, Microsoft Xbox, Capcom, Activision, EA, and NCSoft.

  Dec 20, 2012 highlights community news from Sega, PlayStation Home, Blizzard, and Riot Games'.

  Oct 2011 highlights community news from Capcom, Bethesda, Sega, Activision, and EA!!

  I'd like to make sure an official game developer/publisher community isn't being overlooked. If you have any you'd like to share please post in the comments below.
