Nerfbat’s Final Farewell
It’s finally that time. I knew someday that I’d either get too tired or too busy to continue writing on Nerfbat. Or, perhaps I’d simply run out of things to say or interesting topics to talk about. I never assumed that I’d sooner decide that there’s really no point. It feels like I’m blogging for my own vanity rather than to better myself as a game developer. I came to this realization when looking at the number of pageviews of Curt Schillings blog, 38 Pitches, as compared to my own–the interest in his blog so far outweighs mine that all my effort has essentially amounted to nothing. For those who enjoyed my blog, I apologize for letting you down. For those of you who are bloggers, keep it up and I’ll probably be commenting more on your blogs now that I’m nerfing my own. Update: April Fools! err… Fools’? Maybe I should call it Abalieno Fools?
Blogging for your own vanity or blogging for your own betterment? It is probably a thin line. Nothing fleshes out ideas than the act of recording them.
Hate to see you go ;(

And to be fair, you can’t throw a fastball worth a shit. I would say 85% of his traffic is MLB fans. I hope this is just a 1 am-I-am-drunk-and-breaking-up with-my-blog-event. For all our sakes.
I think I am gonna keep submitting comments ever 5 mins till April 2nd.
If at all possible, if/when you flesh out your theory on the hardcore/casual gamer, I’d certainly like to hear it
I’m guessing you’ve got access to my email (it requires it every post, of course).
Cheers, and good luck!

Pulling an Abalieno on April first was rather genius, in case this is serious, you can always come back with a “haha, fooled you all!”
About time.
After reading Mr Sorens article claiming developpers were lazy, I came to the conclusion, once seeing this poorly designed aprils fool that, I am in agreement.
In a completely unrelated comment, happy birthday.
I’m never going to read Curt Schilling’s blog. I don’t care.
If you’re only interested in size of audience, yes, you’re just doing it for vanity, and yes that’s probably a poor reason. You’re never going to outdo some mass market celebrity.
If you have useful things to say to other like-minded people (gamers and game devs), then you have useful things to say. And you do. Why isn’t that enough?
Wait, its April 1st. @#$@#. I take back the nice thing I said. I’m going to take the key to your summer home in Brittania and flush it down the loo.
And Curt Schilling? Well everyone knows that pitchers are the spawn campers of Major League Baseball.
I’m going to crawl back in my hole now.
Hope this is an April Fool’s post! I’ve certainly enjoyed your writings.
I really hope this in an April Fool’s Day joke.
If it wasn’t April 1st, I’d be pretty bummed right about now.
Happy April Fool’s Day Ryan =P

If this isn’t an April Fools joke… can I have your domain name?
Psh, take my domain name. For 1 million dollars. Also, if you haven’t noticed based on the fact that I posted today, this was an April Fool’s joke.
Hook
Line
Sinker
Actually, I think I’m gut-hooked. Hope you have good blogowner’s insurance, it’s not going to be easy to get that hook out.
Yeah I fell for it before I remembered it was April Fool’s Day…..
Man, I’m still catching up on everyone April Fools jokes. Sheesh. Busy one for the bloggers
Ryan, did you see what Google did? They created Gmail Paper and Google TiSP. Good stuff!
