From Blogcritic Jared Wright:
I found Mary K Williams' From Yu-gi-Oh? to Yu-gi-Ah! not only entertaining but an excellent illustration of how some of the most frustrating time spent with someone you love is, in a paradoxical way, some of the most fulfilling.
From Editor DJRadiohead:
Dawn Olsen looks at The Curse of MTV.
From Editor Gordon Hauptfleisch:
"Your temperament really does travel through that leash," notes Jared Wright in The End of the Beginning, the current Seeing Eye installment in which he recounts his training with his new dog guide, Kerry. Indeed, Jared's seamlessly compelling narrative is so intrepidly adventurous that the reader is virtuously and vicariously put at the end of that leash, feeling it tighten and slacken with each obstacle and accomplishment.

From Sports Editor Matthew T. Sussman:
Blogcritics' newb writer B.C. Lorio, who is from New York, isn't afraid to admit that every single Yankees/Red Sox series doesn't need to be hyped. And we're not the least bit afraid to agree with him.
Our Southwest Ohio sports bureau (which is basically M.D. Sandwasher) went to a minor league baseball game in Louisville and endured a face-to-face encounter
with the infamous Devil Rays prospect Delmon Young, as well as an internal nervous breakdown and self-reflection of why he's even writing about sports at all. As far as we know he hasn't quit.
