Banzaii - The blog of online games and games of Jorge Mediavilla

Today I had breakfast with the following video. After hallucinating with the quality, the short story and the soundtrack, I see that is trending topic and the number of viewings on YouTube has gone from 14,000 to 336,000 in low 4 hours. There must be. I invite you to see it:

Masterclass in how to video, the urge to buy the game have grown exponentially. This is well aware of Rockstar, for those videos are the cornerstone of its success in many GTA. We have recently blown away with the videos of LA Noire ...

Ah! The game is called Dead Island .

With the voice of Terminator I announce my return to the ring. First of all, to thank and darkstrim Orzer for having collaborated for a time in this blog, but I will resurrect Banzaii as my personal blog game (apologies for deleting your WordPress users assigned me your articles in the most unfair the world). That said, I open a new stage in Banzaii , a return to basics I'm excited.

Hi all!

My desperate call seeking partners to Banzaii has borne fruit. Here is his presentation in his own words:

My name is Jorge, I have 24 years old and from Alcoy a lovely city with lots of history located in Alicante. I'm in Socio Technical and Diploma in Social Work.

My experience in the world of video games comes from very small starting with ZX Spectrum, and past Master System, Game Gear, PlayStation 1, PlayStation 2, Nintendo DS and Xbox 360.

I started in this Internet with a blog about video games, doing game analysis, reviews, or recommendations, eventually needed the help of someone and I found out that he also needed a collaborator Banzaii more for the blog, in this way is how I met Jorge Mediavilla and began to work together in Banzaii.

I hope you like our posts, and follow us much. Spread the word among your friends twitter, facebook ...

Welcome OrzeR, I hope this experience will be of much and look forward to your articles. If someone else is encouraged to collaborate and write here, it's as easy as leave a comment.

I have a season that I have neglected the blog and the prospects are that everything will continue. Too bad the blog, which has a good page rank and such agonizing end this way, so I wont be Banzaii ceases to be my personal blog to be a blog coral, hence the title of this post. If you read these lines and you want to write here, leave a comment and we talked.

On January 21 this humble blog was 2 years. The frenetic activity did not allow me to realize before the anniversary, but no matter, what matters is sometimes pause a moment and take stock. And this is positive. I have strong relationships with people with the same passion for the games that I've learned a lot by creating and maintaining the blog, I have experienced increased my knowledge, I have something to learn ...

Anyway, I hope to continue with the blog by creating original content and opinions, not "fried". Lately I've added a number of improvements, including the survey, the cloud of tags that eliminates the previous list, the Facebook group to which I ask you to join the new page ... I looked at a couple of articles on the 10 plugins indispensable are a must on any blog and I have urged. I hope that now you like a little blog and please tell me what you añadiríais. I'm thinking it would be nice chat No?

The first time I heard of blogging was for over five years. I was wandering still working as a journalist in charge of promoting the jet ski championships when I saw an article in El Mundo that talked about blogging and its height. My boss at that time encouraged me to open one, but I was not interested in keeping a journal public. I could not see much sense.

I also thought that with a minimal audience, little could be done, but over time I have seen that the latter was wrong. A blog really does not need a large audience, do not need critical mass. What is needed is quality content, a new approach and connect with the right audience. The success of a blog is then to emerge as opinion leaders in a hearing that is not massive, but it is well segmented and is extremely interesting for many advertisers.

The rise of blogs is also due to the crisis of traditional journalism, the mass media. I have to say that journalists we're doing pretty badly in the issue of credibility (although in our disclaimer I must say that the business of media has in many cases only commercial vision and do not care about the product). Poor working conditions also affect much, but be that as it may, the traditional media have a crisis of credibility that are taking advantage of blogs, which are sold with truly independent, and although many are not, people thinks so.

Last week, the marketing team brought some users to not lose focus on them and for us to learn a little what level out there. Upon arrival at the topic of blogs, I was surprised to see them as a sincere conversation, face to face, something much more human and personal that you trust more. This is because bloggers respond to comments, we care, we take a personal and very important to each of our visitors.
In addition, users often have their own blogs. They themselves are sincere in your blog and think you are too. I certainly try to be the best in Banzaii .

To me the blog has helped me a lot, the scene to meet people, build community, get jobs and collaborations, allows me to experiment, to have my own project, my own media in which I express myself freely, write a little not to rust out, take some initiative ...

Anyway, that experience has been very positive and I encourage everyone to make the leap. Now I think my next project will draw something using Joomla, a free content management system very powerful, and perhaps open a new blog with another subject. Now I'll tell you ...

Some time ago I wanted to happen to wordpress. Laziness, procrastination and hours I poured the other blog were to continue writing on blogger, but wordpress is much more powerful and offers many more possibilities. He had the option to open the online wordpress blog, but I thought it would be better with your own domain and hosting because it gives me much more game time to experiment with the plug-ins and such. I recommend, if you have not already, you do like me, contratéis a hosting, a domain and buy some instaléis wordpress. Everything is very simple.

Finally, after some thinking I decided to christen the blog with the word Banzaii . I chose the name reading an article in El Pais on Japanese suicide pilots in World War II. You know who shouted "banzai" before crashing their ships. They preferred to die rather than return defeated and disgraced. I've just added an "i" more in honor of the wii and you have a rare brand of which both are carried on the Internet with Japanese air (Sony and Nintendo have their headquarters there and actually talk much of their products) and easily recognizable. Hope you like.

Change the domain and design, but I'm still behind me alone with my articles about currados, trying to give my opinion on what happens in the world both casual games like the game . As always, your comments are gold, help me see things from another point of view and enrich me. Thank you!
