Today, Sam over at CheeeseToastieandVideoGames nominated Robo♥beat for a Liebster Blog Award, which is an awesome way to spread love for up-and-coming blogs with under 200 followers. If you haven’t checked out Sam’s blog yet, I highly recommend you do. She’s got gaming news, reviews, and even Let’s Play videos of games such as Amnesia: The Dark Descent, all of which you can find through her blog.
So… now it’s my turn to nominate five blogs. It’s been a while since I got to do this through an informal award like this, so I’m excited to participate again! Here are five of my favorite blogs with under 200 followers to check out:
Gamer Crash — Video game news, plus awesome round-ups of game footage and trailers every Saturday in case you need to catch up!
The Inquisitive Loon — All kinds of in-depth reviews, plus history! I was a history major, so I love the analysis of historical fiction films and TV (like The Tudors, etc).
Geek Appetite — A very fun geek blog, with everything from restaurant reviews to analysis about comics. Just be prepared for lots of food pictures and recipes that will make you hungry.
Counter Attack! — Fantastic video game news and reviews, plus a new podcast. And on Twitter, author Chuck has alerted me to a ridiculous number of Steam sales, which is always awesome.
Pixel Bubble — A blog that goes beyond reviewing games to really analyze the industry, etc. Also, its author apparently suffers from a passionate addiction to Fire Emblem: Awakening, which is really most apparent on Twitter.
One of my favorite things about blogging is feeling like part of a larger blogging community — and in my case, this larger community is usually as obsessed with movies, books, and video games as I am. So if you’re looking for great, geeky reading material, the blogs above definitely fit right into that genre.

Great blog tips, thanks!
Thanks for the shoutout! Also for saying you enjoy the sales tweets, wasn’t sure if anyone cared so I had stopped for a bit there.
I’m looking to get involved more with the blogging community, so I followed all of these. They look like my type of blogs too!
That’s awesome! I’m loving your blog, by the way.
Oh, how nice, thanks for the mention above!
I gave Geek Appetite a follow. Food and nerd content is a good sell for me. I just hope she doesn’t make me too hungry, and I also hope she’ll update more soon ;_; Anyways, thanks for the listing of blogs here!
