It's amazing to think that five whole years ago I sat down to create Knight-Nui. Why I chose that name, I'll never know, but it's certainly stuck and acts as something of a secret weapon. People don't forget Knight-Nui in a hurry, but Game Pigeon or TARDIS Eggbox or whatever? How do we tell it apart from the other generic 'Game + (Word)' sites? We don't, that's how. Knight-Nui? That's unique.
KN's present from me is more of a promise: I'm going to complete our fortpholeo of reviews. Yes, over the summer we're going to see over 50 new reviews of old games, and probably some new ones as well. I don't know why I'm announcing this here, but there we are. I'm off to post it on the forums now. That's a better place to say that.
Nobody actually knows about this blog, but all the same, I'm going to just make it clear that, despite the recent rough times, that I love KN and I've poured so much time and effort into it. Often it doesn't show, but I'll spend several hours adjusting the gap between the 'Add Reply' and 'New Topic' buttons. (Which still isn't right, and still bugs me.) I'll spend even longer slaving over reviews of big games that I know will be panned because I didn't critise an element which I happened to like. But more than anything else, I've been posting on those forums. I quite like doing that. So much, at the time of writing I've done it 20,987 times. And I've somehow still got things to write about. It's brilliant. It's quite broad, there's things to discuss and I like that. My only wish is that more people would share it with me. Please...
Anyway, happy birthday KN! Here's to the next 5 years...
