Game by Night began in July 2009 as a blog dedicated to all forms of gaming, technology, and the media. The roots of GbN stem from another gaming blog, written by the site’s main author, Chris, then known as Raegn.
The tagline for the blog is “Game by night, live by day.” This message is a duality. It is a statement that we gamers are average people with normal healthy lives. We have jobs and families, dreams and pursuits, and a wide array of interests outside of gaming. It is also a recognition that gaming carries a stigma, albeit unfairly, but that which remains for many not “in the know.” Though this stigma may be present, we push forth to break the stereotype and show that gaming is a hobby like any other and bears no harm to the mature minded.
We do this by simply being ourselves. We lead our lives, achieve our goals, and be proud of who we are and what we enjoy. Gaming is losing that stigma because we do this. It is a battle half-won.
Our main goal is to entertain. We may not always be politically correct, fair, or balanced, but, then again, this is a blog. Not a news website. It is a venue for opinion and discussion and we encourage it in all forms short of insult. If you’ve come to our site in hopes of finding something to occupy your mind for a bit, well, we hope we can do that for you.
We’re a work in progress, always, and may change over time. We won’t make promises to remain a certain way or to write MOSTLY about one thing or another. We will be what we are and hopefully, achieve our goal more often than not.
If you’d like to send us a message in private, feel free. We’re able to be contacted at admin@gambynight.com any time, though how long it takes to get a response can vary.
We’re always interested in supporting the community too. If you have a site or project that you’d like a some attention for, let us know and we’ll do our best. If you’re interested in contributing articles or AV pieces to the site, send away as well and we’ll do what we can.
Until then, enjoy the site.
