New Home

Hello everyone.

My name is Alejandro Correa, i'm sixteen years-old and I live in Colombia. I used to be a member of the site 1up, where I had been active for almost three years and had some really great friends and made all my blogging. Now with the news that the site will be closing down, i'm moving my blogging here, where I can have all the freedom to write about anything. Not to say that on 1up I didn't blog about anything. It's just that because the site was mainly for videogames, I wanted to have a balance between gaming and non-gaming blogs. Because there's no limitations here on Blogger, I could use this as my space to talk about anything.

Before the inevitable closing, I told everyone of my friends that this will be from now on my blogging spot. I will also concider getting an account at Pixlbit, where some of my friends are going to, but i'll think of that later.

I'm really going to miss 1up. It was a place where I actually felt that I was in a community and we could share our love and passion for gaming. It makes me sad to see the site go, but life goes on and it's not like I will lost all my friends. In fact, I got a list of the places where they are right now and some know about this blog.

For the time being, here's my new home. Make yourself comcortable. Expect to see more.

  1. Hey Alex. I'm really going to miss 1up too. I didn't realize you had been a member for 3 years. I'm glad we had the chance to make new blogging sites and let everybody know before it totally shuts down though. Cool background. Is it a Simpsons version of Assassin's Creed?

    1. Yep, it's an Assasin's Creed version of The Simpsons. I found it a long time ago in a site called Halolz and because I really liked the image, I saved it and decided to use it here.

      Yeah, I had been there for almost three years. Glad to see I can still keep in contact with some people.

  2. I'm considering doing Pixlbit, seems chill. But I already started an account at Giant Bomb, which is a pretty cool site. Check it out.

  3. Hey, Alex, gigantor @ 1up here.

    It's a real damn shame what happened to 1up. It never felt like the owners took it seriously, but for it to just up and close like that...I still can't believe it.

    At any rate, hope to see more from you. :)

    1. You can move it to your blogspot, since that's what you're doing with all your past 1up blogs Lol.

  7. I definitely get what you mean about talking about anything, I'm going to use my blogger account for that eventually.

    In the meantime, I've been movie blogging on Pixlbit anyway, though this month I'll be working in at least one game a day.
