Hello all and welcome to NITN. Hovo and I are new to the blog scene and have lots to offer. I think its safe to say this site is still in �beta� for the time being. However make sure you keep checking back because you never know what will pop up here. Most of my articles will likely revolve around PC, Wii, and XBOX360 related content. I guess I�ll throw some PS3 STUFF in there, but I�m not gonna lie�Not the biggest fan. I don�t condone piracy or anything like that, but I�ll also hook you up with links so you can all �test� the games out first. I�ll say no more on that topic�just check back for new content!! Same of course goes for Movies. I�ll put up some reviews, release dates, trailers, magic links ; )�the works. Anything interesting that comes my way will definately make it onto this blog at one point or another. Just keep an eye open and keep checking back!
