GM Tristan dot Com Best Posts of 2010

January 10th, 2011 1 Comment

2010 was an awesome year. There’s much growth on my blog’s readership and the Facebook page has never been better.

In work, we launched a couple of games this year, I went to Indonesia for RWC, and of course, had another uber-successful LU LIVE 2010.

Addiction to anything is bad. Even games.

It’s a disease. A lot of people think they’re not addicted until it’s too late. Then they have problems with family, work or school.
