IGN Weekly Community Round-up

It's a wonderful time of the year, as everyone around the IGN community is not-so silently anticipating the next wave of amazing games on the horizon, from Skyrim to Skyward Sword. That, or raving about Modern Warfare 3. Since there's so much great conversation going on here, we wanted to help showcase some of your contributions -- and since there is so much of it, we decided to do so on a weekly basis. We hope this is something you'll think is handy, and we're totally open to hearing from you about what would make these stories cooler or better. Anyway, let's take a tour of what's happening around the IGN community this week...

My IGN

The blogs echoed the madness that was the CoD: MW3 midnight launch events across the nation. Here are some firsthand accounts:
AirstrikeRhino wrote about his experience at a local Best Buy on the eve of MW3; Excitement, confusion, and an unknown desire to drink Mountain Dew. Read the rest here.
My IGN user, Kariyanine, opens up on some thoughts that occurred to him while standing in line to pick up his copy of MW3. Anyone who's older than 25 should be able to relate on some level - read it for yourself.
The IGN Message Boards

We realize the message boards tend to get overlooked, but that doesn't mean they aren't jam packed with awesome discussions by IGNers.
A certain game with a bunch of dragons was released, you might have heard it? Fans of the franchise will want to dive into this collection of boards. Click here to talk about dragons.
Contests, Giveaways, Oh My!

By now you've realized IGN has really stepped up its presence on Facebook, Twitter, and Google +. We ask for your questions on Twitter for live streams of your favorite games.
