The popular video game rumor blog run by the anonymous author known only as “Surfer Girl” is no more. On May 7, 2008 Surfer Girl posted her last entry, which consisted of a video of a performance of the French group Air’s “Surfing on a Rocket” and a final post. In the post she discusses her reasons for originally maintaining the blog and remarks on Doom 4 and Boom Blox.
She also asks outlets not to devote coverage to her final entry. But of course people will and are. Whether you loved, hated or mocked her, she was somewhat of an internet celebrity and her sudden departure is news. Her “Surfer Girl Reviewed Star Wars” blog promoted her political and social views, and to occasionally video game insights and rumors.
I have mixed feelings on her departure. I was irritated when she’d post huge political diatribes in her journal. I’m not a political person - I’d stop by to read about video game speculation, not receive lectures. I did enjoy reading her thoughts on the industry. It is a shame that she is discontinuing her blog. If she did want to get a meaningful message across, she’s now going about it the wrong way. If you want to make a difference in the world, you don’t give up and stop writing. You step up and speak out.
If you’re looking for a place to read the latest video game rumors and speculation, then stop by the NeoGAF forums. The members there are usually pretty intelligent and well informed, and quite a few credible rumors pop up there.
