Remember, remember: video gaming memories that should never be forgotten

Today is October 5. That means that November 5, Guy Fawkes Night, is one month away.

While we don’t celebrate this day in the US (it’s not even a public holiday in the United Kingdom – it’s only a yearly celebration), many of us know of this day thanks to the DC Comics / Vertigo graphic novel (comic book) series V for Vendetta by Alan Moore and David Lloyd and its movie adaptation (with inimitable performances by Natalie Portman as Evey and Hugo Weaving as V).

Still, any “holiday” that gives people an excuse to light fireworks and go door-to-door begging for spare change sounds like something worth celebrating. So we at QJ.NET invite you to get into the spirit of things to remember, remember the 5th of November.

On the 5th of November we’re going to post an article or two about video games, gadgets, technology, and general geekness – what moves us and affects us and touches us, and all the things about video gaming and technology that ought not be forgotten. Pretty much like the QuickJump QuickList articles in our Opinions & Analysis section at the front page and the other articles in the Opinions & Analysis sections of our many video game, science, and gadget blogs.

We invite you to plan ahead and consider what you want to remember on that day – because our articles obviously can’t be the final word – that’s what comments and the QJ.NET Forums are for. (Besides, now that we’ve turned off anonymous comments – and now that comments are smarter, funnier, and more meaningful – you have a good venue to share your reactions.)

We look forward to your thoughts. See you on the 5th of November.
