Alright, so you people noticed that I haven't been blogging. What's the deal, right?
Here's the deal:
1. I ran out of ideas (alright, not really, but they've been hard to come across)
2. I have a job (shocking)
3. I've been gaming (not so shocking)
You remember how eager you were as a kid to evolve your Pokemon (or in the case of smarter people, not do it because you could learn new abilities faster)? Well, think of AWP Nation as the evolution of my old blog, Jose Alvarez Uncut, which you can still peruse here.
The following are going to be holdovers from JAU (I've even put tags to remind myself what to tag them as)
Semi-objective analysis
I've always enjoyed these for some reason, it gave me license to praise (or, in most cases, attack) something or someone. Basically an overview of what I think of something or someone.

A modest proposal
How I would fix/destroy things. Mostly fix, in some cases, destroy.

Website reviews
I promised these would continue. They will be back soon. It's not that I don't have a lack of websites to review; it's just that I want to take a more objective and honest look at how I review websites.

Game/console reviews
Another thing that will carry over. I love games and consoles; it wouldn't be me if there wasn't anything about games or consoles, right?
Tags: game reviews, console reviews
Hate mail analysis
I had a three part hate mail series on JAU near the beginning of the blog's lifespan. Basically it started with some dumbass thinking he was the shit and linked his Internet friends to this blog (mostly because of the lack of real life friends, and anyone can make friends on the Internet). As a result, JAU became popular (thanks guys). I had a fourth part prepared, and had people vote on whether or not I'd continue to analyze my hate mail. People voted "no" to the hate mail analysis, so I caved in and decided not to release part four.
Well, fuck it.
They're back.

Things that will be NEW to AWP Nation
Interviews
I want to get to know people better, so I'm going to interview people. Think of this as your moment of fame. I believe that all of us are attention whores at some point in our lives, and even if you're no longer one, you're only lying to yourself. I'll interview randoms and, if possible, famous people.

Person Of The Week/Douche Of The Week
I've decided to start giving awards out for a change instead of trying to seek them. The "Person Of The Week" (POTW) and "Douche Of The Week" (DOTW) nominees will be announced every Monday (along with the reason why they were nominated) and the POTW/DOTW will be selected on Friday. I will be running polls on the blog each week; basically the highest number of votes wins (or "wins").

Blogroll
I often found it unfair to just promote my own blog like I'm some self-important asshole, so I'm going to start including your blogs as well. If you write a blog, you might get on the blogroll; just make sure it's good and doesn't suck ass.
So basically that's it for my intro post. Stay tuned for more information and happy reading.
