Monster Roundup

February 8th, 2011

In this Column we will try to bring you the weekly monster happenings going on around the web.

Around the web.

Recently our reluctant cult leader, Gabe Delahaye, has started his own website. There you can find links to his pre-gum blog and other stuff Gabe-related. Basically, he's making it really easy for us to stalk him (please don't hurt him, we need him to blog). If you are worried about this site's relation to Videogum, consult his FAQ. Also, he has a Facebook fan-page started by DS3M. Speaking of Facebook, Grace6697 has started a very noble cause for the advancement of humanity and the preservation of mother earth, please join.

If you live in NY, you might want to head over to Brooklyn and check out these honorary monsters every Wednesday.
