#1 The numbers. I like to have a general sense of where the market is, and around how many people are playing the games I play
#2 The forums. I like discussions on topics I like and debates (whether you like me or not) on topics I don't agree with
#3 The users. Some of the users on here I feel like I know personally. For better or worse, having some sort of communication with people who enjoy the same thing I do (video games) is always great, because no one around me, IRL, is as passionate about the industry as I am. They may play games, but they aren't gamers. And plus...where else would someone randomly give me a month free of LIVE (I'm looking at you badgenome)? And the funny part is, VGC didn't notify that I had a new message when it happened, so I have a LIVE code in my inbox that's been sitting there for a year LOL
