Sonic the HedgehogTake a break from your house-painting and whitewater rafting to enjoy a crisp and refreshing Community Spotlight on this fine Memorial Day weekend.


Podcasting Do's and Don'ts
By Chase Koeneke
Podcasting isn't easy or an exact process. I'm learning this the hard way with my own efforts, but every show could do with a reminder on how to draw audiences in and how not to alienate the listeners they already have. One of these don'ts is pretty obvious to anyone who has ever used a microphone: Don't eat and podcast....

Can Sega Make a Comeback?

Inside E-Sports: Starcraft 2 Discussion and Basic Builds
By JP McDaniel
Have you ever wanted to break into the highly competitive world of Starcraft but felt completely lost? JP is here to help you with this very basic guide on what to do during a Starcraft 2 match. I'll never be good at this Korean and Major League Gaming pastime.

Return of the King
By Darrel Gordon
Darrel loves EGM. The following is his passionate admission of why he loves the magazine and how it has entertained him for a large portion of his life. His raw emotion over this makes me realize how much I love EGM, even if my reasons are slightly different now than they were 10 years ago when I wanted to devour any and all RPG information.

In Defense of "Unnecessary" Sequels
By Rakim Reid
I am guilty of disliking what I deem "unnecessary" sequels. I've ranted endlessly about my disappointment in the very idea of BioShock 2, and I question the value of an Endless Ocean part two. Rakim made me realize the importance of these games: Making company-supporting money in order to support future creativity and IPs.  While I accept this, BioShock's atmosphere did not need a continuation.
