The Brog's 2 Year Anniversary!
Sunday, August 8, 2010 at 1:56PM 
Trust Me, I'm Just As Surprised As You Are.
It all started with an image of Jeff Goldblum in short-shorts. We’ve been through a lot haven’t we? Internet memes. Epic gaming rants and the institution that is the nonsensical image at the end of my movie and game reviews.
This is the part where I issue some form of “state of the brog” address. There are plans, but for the handful of you who actually read this site, expect more of the same. Which, I guess, is more of anything I can get my mind around. There won’t be some major site overhaul or “Brog 2.0 beta” experience. I do like making banners with me in them, so expect more of those [narcissism]. For the eight of you who have stuck with The Brog this long ... I apologize. No one should willingly subject themselves to such poor grammar on a regular basis. I salute you.
I want to thank Gamasutra, Bitmob, Columbus Dispatch’s “Game On,” and 1up. They have unknowingly catered to my blogging ego and its because of those communities that inspire my optimism. Super-big thanks goes to WebMetro for being the money getter and supporter of my weird little endeavors and just as big props goes to: Reddit, N4G and Digg. These guys are responsible for the site making it out to people who take chances everyday. Only to be disappointed by a clever image of Xzibit doing derivatives.
Much like awful clip shows from sit-coms in the 90’s. Below are some select exerpts and gems from the Brog’s past. Heck, I even plugged in some new funnies. Here’s to two-years of me trying to figure out what to do with this ridiculous site. And even though most of you lurk, and/or send me nasty e-mails -- I love you all.

You Don't Lose With Warren Ellis. You Only Win!Though I disagree with turning everything I originally adore conform to another form of media. This is quite the impressive list of graphic novels you'd like to see turned into movies.
[Judging by the mug shot, Michael Edwards seems to be pretty proud of himself.]
