    Facebook is about to hit the next goalpost! I bet we'll have another grand XP code here waiting for you next week. In that same vein, Instagram is finally halfway to hitting it's first goalpost! Can you guys push it the rest of the way?

    We're seeing lots of good movement on Facebook, Twitter, and Google+. Are you following our Twitch and YouTube? We're doing a lot more events, a lot more streams, and a lot more videos as the summer gears up, so stick around and stay tuned!

    In Closing

    These are the roughest parts, when outwardly you can't see what we're doing. We have a LOT of focus going into various games. You've got builders working hard on both MineZ 1 and 2. You've got developers looking hard at the Arrow Arcade and at Wasted. You've got Lazertester fixing bugs whenever he can on top of the massive amount of Gold Rush work, and you've got several Shotbow internal games working on secret projects.

    Please be patient with us! While it's summer for a lot of you and you may have nothing but free time, we've still got dayjobs and we're coming home from them to make your gaming experience awesome. So give it some time while we work through everything, pretty it up, and do our best to make your gaming experience AWESOME.

    If you noticed that this bit is the same as last week - you're correct! It still holds very, very true, and I couldn't think of anything better to add to it.

    We are working incredibly hard to get you new, fun, exciting games to play. I myself am now leading at least 5 teams inside Shotbow to really nail down the experience you've come to expect.
