Site after site, article after article, page after page, magazine after magazine, video after video; After wading hip deep in pools of immaturity, feverish fanboyism and hyperbole that could start a third World War, some friends and I had enough.
We searched high and low for a place on the internet to call our own to talk about games and delve into them in ways that are natural to gamers old and new; whether it's playing a game in no way it's supposed to be played and doing it for hours on end and showing it to the world, or whether you want to wax philosophical about human instinct and the simple and beautiful ways it rears it's head through gaming. Whatever your poison, we wanted a place we could talk about it and come together with like minded folks that could get down with what we were saying or what we were thinking.
So we made Gearbolt. Started by myself, my friends are what really pushed this to come to fruition. It's not the next GiantBomb but it's a humble abode for those of us who see more to games than just pixel shaders and response time and can actually make a week out of a random playthrough of Rise to Honor. So come join us or don't, we're here for those of you who connect with whatever it is we ramble on about or who can share the good times with us.
If you want nothing more in the world than to sit down with a friend or two on the same couch, plug in one controller and beat a game with a 67 on metacritic in one drunken night that you had no plans of putting to use anyhow, then welcome to Gearbolt and enjoy your stay.
