Calling all Journalists!!

[Pirotess]

Been involved in a school newspaper or other media outlet? Think you could report the news better than me? If so we'd love to talk to you about becoming the newst Vanguard Spheres staff member as a News Manager. Each day we scour the 'net for new Vanguard information to report to our users but this takes time! Time I need to expand the sites capabilities. If you are interested in taking up the torch and keeping us up to date please register on the site and shoot me a private message expressing your interest.

In todays news, we've got a boatload of new articles for you to read! Interestingly enough, most of the new articles have a common thread: the effects of gaming. First off is a piece by our very own Editor Aredhel. In her article entitled, "Game Addiction: It is real!", Aredhel discusses gaming addiction and what you can do to combat it. Aredhel's article is a perfect companion piece to the article published by Labyrrinth of Silky Venom as part of his newest addition to the How Gaming Changed My Life column. In his article, Labyrrinth explores a users negative viewpoint of how gaming can change someones life. Martuk of TenTonHammer brings an article to our attention with a little different approach to how gaming can make a difference. In his report entitled "How Gaming Can Help the Sick". Martuk delves into the many theraputic uses of gaming for disabled or chronically ill patients. Finally Lady Sirse, also of TenTonHammer relates her most memorable gaming experiences in her article "Instant Addition" and hopes that similar experiences await us in Vanguard. Similarly, an anonymous poster has published an article at GamerGod entitled "Chasing that Old Loving Feeling". The article also discusses the writers most memorable gaming experience and hopes that the feeling can be recaptured again in Vanguard.
