You don't mind if we show off a little bit, do you? No? Oh good!

Complex recently placed Bitmob in its 25 Video Game Sites You Should Be Reading list...all the way up in the #3 spot! That means, if you only have time in the day to check out three gaming websites, we've got to be one of them. You have no other choice in the matter now.

Thanks Complex...and author Michael Rougeau (who happens to like Bitmob enough to be a community member and writer here).

Also, load up this hip-hop tune when you have a chance: The Grid (track #5) by The Second Letter. A certain website might be mentioned in there, starting around the 1:35 mark.

Thanks for the shout-out, guys.

 Bitmob. I want to say you've come a long way, but you instantly became a smash-hit. GameFAQS was the very first site I began writing on, then I moved to here. Never in my state of memory can I recall when a magazine or site let you participate in the gaming-industry. What I mean by that is Bitmob gives you chance for us, the community, to speak and get our name out there. Anyone reading this comment, read on.

Yes, you have sites you can write reviews for (which I still do), but these guys actually take the time to read your work and spare some insight while giving you advice on how to improve with different approaches. I'm glad to say that here, along with the editors (all of them,) have helped me evolve as a "writer" -- even better than my College professor.

They could've just developed a site where they spoke and we'd listen -- but no -- they care about the community just as much as the industry (well, at least I hope). All the inspiration may have come from the EGM and EGM2 days for me, but Bitmob taught me how to change my style, how to grasp a reader's attention with a strong introduction, facilitate change in wording, etc.

We also have to thank the amazing change with the Internet. If you would've sat me down 10 years ago and told me I'd be writing an instant-comment on Dan's article and being capable of posting my own articles along-side the editors, I would've told you to stop smoking crack.

Sure, it's a steep competition, but that's what I like about Bitmob.That's what the real world is. It's tough out there -- you have to toughen-up and fight the good fight. Okay, maybe I'm not the best in giving advice, but just realize that the "Bitmobbers" are taking their own time in the short-hours of the day to look at someone else's point-of-view.

Thus, this is the reason Linn and Shoe's creation made this list. Congratulations, Bitmob.

Just spent 30 minutes writing the comment. Guess who stepped on their laptop and managed to crack the internal screen? That took me forever to write, and yes, I fixed an error. Sorry about that. I haven't had to squint my eyes that bad since the Game Boy days.

You've got it all wrong, I threw it down on the floor and began to stomp a mudhole like Stone Cold Steve Austin in the laptop for Bitmob not being chosen #1. ; ) Sorry... shameless pandering.

Congratz Bitmob I had a subscription to complex back when EGM was gone. But had it cancelled when it came back lol.(EGM and Skate MAG is all i need) This alone makes me want to subscribe to Complaex again tho. Shows me they know good writing in games despite them being mostly apparel. Much Love.

My pleasure to put you on the list, Dan! I didn't see this post until just now, so I'll reiterate that Bitmob is awesome.
