State of the Blog: Three Weeks In

Wow.

Three weeks. And I can say that we've had an average of about 15 views per post, though this has spiked up to 40 in some cases. The top viewed posts are oddly enough the Magic the Gathering product opening ones and the intro...

Huh. That's potentially awkward. I do hope that's not entirely the case, largely because that turns this blog ridiculously expensive...I doubt I'm going to continue to have luck on the trading cards for booster boxes front unless people start donating for that to happen. And as you may have noticed I've not set up a donate button, link or anything like that because it just's not right in my mind.

Ah, the perils of being currently unemployed. Sadly folks I simply cannot buy the product myself with what little benefits I am currently getting as I hunt for jobs. I do hope you will stick around for other things, like the TV reviews or the coming review for Undertale that I have planned.

Still, we're getting one more booster box within the next week or so... Dragons of Tarkir. Yes, yes, that set with the horrible packaging. Hopefully I can pull some money cards from there and that'll help toward getting an Origins box to review, yeah?

So...I need some help. Still no comments, apart from the odd ones on Facebook, where some of you will have seen the link to this blog...so, there's that I guess. I need answers - I will create a poll and stick it on the blog (I think that's possible?) but I need feedback.

Where do I go now? What do I continue to do with The Legendary Nerdling?

a) Keep it as it is now, reviewing all sorts from TV to movies to games to MtG Products.

b) Focus on the MtG side of things. We can help with donations as long as you keep reviewing.

c) Focus on the TV and movie side of things! It's effectively free?

Please let me know in comments, either here or elsewhere - I will eventually get around to adding contact details, honest.

P.S. Please feel free to offer design advice or assistance. I'm a snarky reviewer, not a programmer damnit!

  1. if you do fnms and such I think an analysis of your games etc would always be good!

    1. FNM sadly is falling into the same bubble as the boxes. It's costly when on limited income, so I would be really restricted with that. But I did enjoy the Game Day review, so this is perhaps an option plus learning is all well and good.

  2. I'd say review anything and everything you find interesting. Some people may like one and not the other. It does however keep your blog appealing a wider audience but give you less time to write each one. Where as focusing on one may shrink your audience but give you more time to dedicate to it.

    I my self like film and TV reviews. Also games be they TCG'S, table top games, board games or computer games.
