The game club is a great idea. Kotaku has something like it, but, well, that’s Kotaku; I feel like I remember another site that does something similar, but I can’t think of it now.

Michael, I actually think your site in particular would be well-suited to a game club. It seems to me that it acts as a nexus for our particular corner of the gaming blogosphere — David and I (as well as Corvus and Ben and L.B. and the rest) all read the Brainy Gamer, even if we don’t necessarily all read each others’ blogs. I think we’d have a sizable group interested in this sort of thing fairly quickly.

Anyway, it’s something to think about. Although I too have a backlog of games I’ve been meaning to play…

Seriously, your video game club proposal is VERY interesting to me. I’ve been discussing a similar idea with my wife where I would choose a game on the site and invite people to play it along with me and post comments as we go along.

But I like your idea better because it sounds like something that could be hosted by various game-focused sites like yours and mine…sort of like a group of friends in a book club take turns hosting members in their homes. Is this sort of what you had in mind? I think it’s a terrific idea.

If you’d like to email me and discuss it further, maybe we could flesh out the idea and move forward with it. I can think of several excellent blogs/sites that would make excellent hosts and would probably jump at the chance to be involved.

Maybe this will make up for the many ways I’ve ruined your life. :P
