Mass Effect 3 Demo - Multiplayer ONLINE!
Mon Feb 20, 2012 Posted By: Yogizilla

OMG.. There haven't been many games that have excited me as of late. Modern Warfare 3 and Battlefield 3 are both fun, but Mass Effect 3 is the third installation I've been REALLY waiting for.

Well, let me say this: the demo DELIVERS!

Now, you can play two co-op maps and enjoy Horde/Zombies-style survival action with some objectives here and there. What I love is that they stayed true to the core mechanics of Mass Effect while creating a multiplayer experience that's actually fun and not a mere add-on.

That said, if you plan to get Mass Effect 3, add me on XBox LIVE - Yogizilla - so we can jam together. Soon, I'll be replaying Mass Effect 2 to beat the game with a different ending...

since we know that Cerberus is going to double-cross us anyway (bastards).



Geeks Unite Against SOPA - It Is Full Of SUCK!
Mon Jan 16, 2012 Posted By: Yogizilla

Unless, you live under a rock, chances are you've heard about SOPA or it's equally fugly sibling, PIPA. SOPA has greater implications than what people assume. In fact, the one thing it was designed to supposedly take care of -stopping piracy - is actually what it won't be effective at.

SOPA will...

- Compromise our online security.
- Hurt small and large businesses alike.
- Give consumers less choices.
- Destroy technology as we know it.
- Limit our freedom.

The only benefactors seem to be those in the entertainment industry, yet it's the service and technology companies creating more jobs. This would be the final blow to our economy, here in the USA and on a more global scale.

It gets worse!

SOPA will make us into China. Just ask Dino Dogan from DIYBlogger.net -

StumbleUpon Vs. Facebook: A Peek Into Web 3.0 - PLUG IN!
Sun Aug 21, 2011 Posted By: Yogizilla

A few years ago I shared my vision and hopes for Web 3.0. I was excited about it as an Inbound Marketer, Procurer of All Things Geeky, and Recruiter (for work and social gaming clan purposes, of course)...

http://yogizilla.wordpress.com/2007/03/29/intro-to-social-media/

There, I named Digg and StumbleUpon as the dynamic duo of social media but, really, it's more like BLANK and StumbleUpon, where BLANK is whatever platform you are most engaging with and have a wide, active audience on.

I feel that anyone that's ever felt super bored, tired of the same old stuff showing up in searches and streams, or just wants to connect with more like-minded NEEDS to be on StumbleUpon. So let's connect!

Here are some of my favorites on StumbleUpon...

http://yogizilla.stumbleupon.com

I love StumbleUpon so much that I opt-in to the ads and have even donated in the past. They're doing something special and, believe me, they will be the site to watch. Facebook has some competition.

http://mashable.com/2011/08/19/stumbleupon-social-traffic/

With a smaller audience. StumbleUpon is kicking butt. Imagine if they had even half of Facebook's 750 million users (many of which are likely dummy accounts or abandoned profiles, BTW). StumbleUpon has a more active community, better content, and less noise.

Please join and then Like my article and share it with your networks, if you're so inclined!

http://www.stumbleupon.com/to/1FIDJE/unbounce.com/seo/the-adaptive-seo-approach/t:4e510af0b9c2e;src:all

I appreciate the support and hope some of you are excited about the direction of things to come.. Imagine a web where everyone is more connected and you are in full control of the experience. Yes, even you social media agnostics can get excited about this!

I feel that user-generated content and user-driven experiences is not only the future of the social web but also what we'll see more of in video games once again.. More sandbox environments, open APIs, free SDKs, and modding tools.. Think Warcraft III, Quake 2, and DOOM 2 on crack.. Still, it's surprising we're not seeing more of this out there!

Empowering your audience. I like the sound of that. How about you?

Leave your comments right here in the forums or blog about it over at http://nipplesoffate.wordpress.com - we could use more gamer geeks and creatives! =oD



Want to learn SEO and do business online?
Thu Aug 18, 2011 Posted By: Yogizilla

SEO (positioning content for findability via search engines) and Inbound Marketing (attracting customers to you) are two facets of Internet Marketing that, like anything else, can't really be taught.. But I do have a good starting place on this article at Unbounce:

http://unbounce.com/seo/the-adaptive-seo-approach

Hopefully, that'll help you understand what I do and how you can do it too. It's a great way to give your online content more exposure and even make money, when done right!

Please leave your comments on the article if you wish to pick my brain or ask some of the other marketing folks some questions. 8)



Cross-Promotion And Recruiting In One Fell Swoop
Wed Aug 3, 2011 Posted By: Yogizilla

Last night, thanks to KiNgDeeM's help and the rapid response of various friends and acquaintances in our respective circles, we started the process of expanding the NoF Facebook Group and starting a Support-A-Thon (credit to Laurinda Shaver for that idea).

The idea is to network rapidly, engage key influencers, and expand our individual and collective projects. We may even launch a spiffy NoF Fan Page, complete with links to our Yahoo! Group, Blog/eZine, Squidoo lens, and MORE!

To join our mission, visit this Facebook event:

http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=118716508225127

...Join us up and check the comments to learn about our current efforts. I hope to expand upon the Support-A-Thon concept by making it easier to promote awesome content (including YOURS)!



I need some NIP POWAH - help me promote my guest blog!
Tue Jul 26, 2011 Posted By: Yogizilla

Some of you may know that I've been busy with some personal projects and consulting gigs. The underlying effort is building up my personal brand and increasing my audience, so when I publish some books and such, I'll be a recognizable name.

This is quite important to me so check out the following page and see how you can help me:

http://unbounce.com/2011-conversion-fest/

...Once my guest blog goes live on August 16th, I'll have to promote the heck out of it for several weeks (two weeks for contest purposes). I'm going to need all the help I can get.

All you got to do is share the link via social platforms like StumbleUpon, Reddit, Facebook, and Twitter.. And leave some comments!

I heart you guys (and I'll see you on IRC).. It is, after all, almost time for Fantasy Football! =oD



Engage! Requesting Feedback From Our Readers
Fri Jul 8, 2011 Posted By: KiNgDeeM

A few weeks back, we launched a blog as a way to engage our clan members and stay in touch in the midst of our increasingly busy lifestyles. We got a bit spoiled by the almost instant boom in traffic. We had a daily site visitors in the three digits, which is impressive for any small blog, especially a new one.

Paving The Path For Greater Things
Thu May 5, 2011 Posted By: Yogizilla

Over the years, we have worked hard to create the urgency in stabilizing online gaming and geek communities by growing stronger as a social gaming clan. In preparation for the proposed video game geek web site and future NoF content development, I have brought back my Gaming Clan Series on Y3B:

http://yogizilla.wordpress.com/2011/05/05/gaming-clan-series-why-clans-die-and-the-motivation-behind-clan-hopping/

I feel this article and others like it capture the essence of the Nipples of Fate while honing in on the urgency of our initiatives as video game geeks.

Please promote the crap out of this article. Let's show the online community how NoF rolls! Link, share, tweet, e-mail, comment.. Promote, promote, PROMOTE! ħoD
