    And there you go. The 20 best games are up, so let the hate mail about why your favorites aren't on there begin.

    As you all know, a large panel of us helped decide this list at the GoG 5,000 party at Cyber-Ops, while the people we didn't need played Halo for like 9 hours straight.

    Those who did me the favor of coming in to help me form the damn thing will be credited here shortly. I'm about out of gas right now though, so have patience with me.

    Two new foot soldiers fought on the front lines this week to help bring you all the Greatest Gaming Moments of the Decade. Give them a big round of applause or, preferrably, a beer.

    Matt Brand is a new member, and a friend of mine who is studying programming.
    Dave Lyson is our very own Jack Daniels, taking time out from his 80 posts a day to give his all to the cause.

    Hey guys!

    I just wanted to give a quick breakdown of who those guys credited as my help in designing this column were!

    Zach Ellsbury---Ryublitz
    Anthony Rodriguez---A-Thon X
    Broduer Bros.---Silent Bob and Boobacca
    And BEN, of course, is Sarah Palin.

    Give them all thanks for helping me with this one, and go start debating the Best Moments of the Decade in the thread!

    This could have been sooner, but this week's column will focus on why it's so difficult to acquire video game-related merchandise, from art books to soundtracks.

    I'm going to try something new: in these comments each week, I'm going to mention what my intended subject for next week's column is. Of course, I'm eternally changing my mind, but hopefully this will give some of my regular readers a chance to formulate thoughts on the subject before it goes up.

    Firstly, column is about to go up, had some frustration with my internet access.

    Secondly, I know I can't participate Saturday, but I can see if I can work Sunday in. PM me the details.

    I wanted to stop by and share that we've got an upcoming video game event here in Des Moines NEXT weekend (7/25 & 7/26)!

    We could really use your help to help bring the fun to our first church that's hired us to help run a large gaming element. Both Saturday and Sunday evening, the event only runs from 5-9pm, so we'd have plenty of time to enjoy other things during the weekend if you'd like and this large church is allowing us to spread the GoG word too!

    We could use some of your gaming equipment if you're cool with that, as we'll be running 8 gaming stations each evening. I have more details and I hope you can make it...so let me know your thoughts asap...
