Kezins’ Top Posts Of The Week
August 16, 2008
We write a ton of posts on Kezins.com, so it doesn’t take long for an article to work it’s way off the front page and into the abyss where some people may never find them. Because of this, we have decided to post links to our most popular articles from the week each Saturday. Some articles may be from long ago, yet still popular like Juan’s “7 Greatest Video Game Urban Legends”. If you’d like to see our all-time most popular posts, just click on Top Posts at the top menu.

Happy 4th Of July
July 4, 2008
We wanted to go ahead and wish everyone a Happy 4th (even our Canadian readers)! I hope most of you get the chance to take it easy this weekend and have a little fun with your friends and family. This is a great chance to get off the internet and have a little fun in the non-virtual world. If you can’t think of too many things to be happy about, just realize that by next year at this time, GW will no longer be in office. 
Drink plenty of beer and light a sparkler or two…
Look Cool on Kezins.com
July 1, 2008
Hello Folks, it’s your favorite editor here to say… damn I forgot. But while I’m writing, I figured let me keep our
readers up to date with COOL avatars news. What’s an avatar you ask? Ok, if you’ve commented on our site you’ve probably have noticed the picture that shows up next to your name. That’s an avatar. If you hate your ‘triangle head, square head or circle head’ avatar, and would like to choose your own, go to gravatar.com
What is a gravatar?
A gravatar, or globally recognized avatar, is quite simply an avatar image that follows you from weblog to weblog appearing beside your name when you comment on gravatar enabled sites. Avatars help identify your posts on web forums, so why not on weblogs?
Kezins.com encourage all our readers to express your image with as much personality as possible. We would love not like to see racy pics in your gravatar’s so, I guess keep em clean!
We’ll be searching for the coolest gravatar and anything with Star Wars, Punky Brewster or Braveheart win my vote!
Kezins speaks up on ‘Gaming Blog Network’
June 18, 2008
Our very own Will “Kezins” Snizek (WS) sat down for a fireside chat with our friends at Gaming Blog Networks’ owner Jason Townsend-Rogers (JTR). Jason, a member of the ECA, jots down Will’s take on Government involvement in gaming. Picking at the mind of the creator and owner of Kezins.com was a difficult task. Nevertheless, Jason threw additional questions at Will that would have thrown me back into 1955. (Back to the Future reference, not a good one) But with the 1.21 jiggawatts powering that mind, Will spoke about his true passion of photography, blogging, and defending the negative critiscm games receive.
(JTR): My next question regards how games are being portrayed in mainstream media, what do you think video games, and the industry as a whole, can do to improve their societal image?
(WS): I don’t think we’ll ever get rid of the negative images entirely, because negativity is what sells news these days in the mainstream media; also, places like Fox News etc will always rather interview a wacko like Jack Thompson who is going to make off the wall and shocking statements than someone who has a more academic approach to things.
(WS): I really think the best way the industry can improve their image is to simply continue publishing game blogs and get the information out there. The smart people will do their research and discover what’s real and what’s media spin. Another thing I have noticed over the past few years is an increase in video game research from the academic community. I think as research continues, gaming will be seen in a more positive light
(WS): On another note, I do think the game companies need to make a stronger stand against minors getting their hands on “M” rated titles. That is a big issue now, and the only way to reverse the public image of this would be for game companies to start taking a stand against children playing the real violent and adult games.
