David and other 3DSblog fans I need to be sentimental for a moment. It was sometime shortly after the E3 2010 hype when I searched for any information on the 3DS. I scrounged for sites that only had very obvious, overran news that I had seen on every site. Occasionally, I'd find a tidbit I never knew about, but it was mostly padded and safe or baseless and stupid. Then I finally found Nintendo3DSblog.com. What I found in this site was a whole collection of dedicated 3DS information, with all of the information that I could have ever wanted, told by a real person who I connected with. From then on, Nintendo3dsblog.com became the number one site I went to when turning on a computer. Every day, there was something fresh to keep me coming back, even to the point of wondering how the author kept up with it all. Even Kotaku, which covers all game information, was something I'd put in the back seat in favor of Nintendo3dsblog.com. What made this site work was that it felt like home. I felt like I knew David, and his articles reflected him. And David's voice wasn't like anyone else's in gaming journalism: It wasn't always snarky and sarcastic, wasn't always straight forward and plain, and wasn't even that opinionated most of the time. It was just like hearing a friend tell you about some news he heard, and that has more value to me than any other source of news. Seeing this site go is a little hard for me. I still come here out of shear habit and then sadly remember that it's gone. I never commented much, but I wish I did now. I thought it would never end. Good luck to you, David. I feel like a friend who's about to say good bye, but you don't really know me, so I'm not sure what this is. Regardless, you've got the makings of someone who won't just sit around and not doing great things yet again. Don't go to waste on me. Your friend from somewhere across the pond, Haut D. Forme
