I’d prefer we tried to keep them to 1920×1080, but truthfully as long as they’re 16:9 it should be fine. The ratio is the most important part of it, since the whole site design is based around a consistent ratio. 1600×900 and 1280×720 are the smallest sizes that can be uploaded in my opinion. While the smaller sizes aren’t an issue right now, my…[Read more]

Agreed with sn0w. It’s definitely not weird trying to make your review also be an interesting read. Man cannot live on bread alone. Put some butter on that loaf.

Review scores is a topic I could write an essay on. Not a particularly good one, mind you, but a very long one that would bore the teacher into giving up half-way through and just…[Read more]

The image on the blog post is 1920×1080. Are you getting some bug that’s making them larger for some reason? I just checked the file I originally uploaded, and it’s indeed 1920×1080. The media gallery also says 1920×1080.

Also, for blog post images that aren’t the featured image, is it all right to upload smaller images? What about 4:3 images? Or…[Read more]

Not weird at all. That’s basically how I try to write my own reviews. I can understand the argument against having a score, but considering elhebers point about the reviews not always matching the final score, I think having both options is good. It lets others use the standard they prefer to gauge their own interest in a game, while also…[Read more]

Hah, hopefully there’ll be many more to come. The more people posting, the faster this place will take off. Once that happens, we can start trying to make some money, have the site pay for itself, and maybe even have enough left over to reinvest some of that back into you guys via free games or pledges on patreon.

I’m not sure what would cause you to not be able to edit the post, doesn’t look like a permissions issue so I’ll have to research it this week if I have time.

As for images uploaded, for now we can upload them here and we’ll see how that goes, please keep the images limited to 1920×1080 though. That image on the blog post took forever to load.

I…[Read more]

It’s all so subjective though, and I can’t really fault anybody for giving a game a certain score if I felt they were genuine in their opinion, hence why I actually read reviews instead of focus on the number. If I had my way, I’d personally never give a numerical score to a game, because I feel it detracts from what I’m actually trying to say.…[Read more]

I think the most skilled reviewers are the ones that can communicate why they feel a certain way to the reader via examples. I’ll watch even real professionals drone on about the negatives of a game and end up giving it a 8.6/10… and the way they described the game makes me feel like it was worth a 6.0 or so. I believe that reviewer did think…[Read more]

There’s so many of you now, I’m gonna miss being “the guy.”

Welcome Giovanni and Thranx. Looking forward to arguing with you about why a girl Link would be an excellent idea for a new Zelda game. I just said that because it incites discussion. Also because it’s true.

Welcome, Giovanni. Hope you like it here. Don’t hesitate to post things, either. You never know what will get posted on the main page.

Hi everyone!

Just signed up, and I hope to contribute some fun content over time. I’m a researcher by day (and night… and weekends… if you know academics then you know from where I’m coming), and have one too many hobbies on my plate at any given time as well. But I’ve been gaming since the late 1980s, and it remains one of my primary means…[Read more]
