Yes, definitely. Parts of it are already completed and running on every news article and review. It’s a bit of a process though. In order to link the ads the game must be linked to the article(connected) and ad must be linked to that game. At the current time I’ve only got about 75 ads for 40ish games in our database. We’re going to be working on…[Read more]

Is this price comparison tool still a thing? I haven’t seen it on review pages.

To clarify by what I meant by saying reviews, news, and gaming articles should be free: I meant freely available, not that they are exempt from all types of monetizing.

Also, there are some in depth investigative journalism pieces I am planning. In depth interviews, research into the history of games, or other detailed or even multi-part…[Read more]

I acknowledge that everyone is free to run their Patreon however they want, but I’d strongly advise anyone against paywalling the main content we want this site to provide, namely reviews, news, and game-related articles.

I’m against this for two reasons; one we need more content to draw in more readers, and two, I know paywalls are a huge…[Read more]

So the big issue for me is the potential for content to be temporarily locked behind a paywall. I’d like to at least discuss setting some guidelines for how this can be used here. A good example would be if some gaming news breaks, i.e. “Major Nelson announces 4 new Xbox One backwards compatible games,” this should be considered ‘public domain’…[Read more]

Might as well update this page as well. I’m looking further into the Patreon API and I believe I may have finally wrapped my head around how to use it. I’ll be posting a new thread in the general chat area of the forums(Shooting the Shit) so that we can generate a good discussion on the subject. Integrating the API into the core of what we do here…[Read more]

Thanks for the pointers. I think I’m going to pick up some software/equipment to do videos on Black Friday.

It will be a fun new thing for me to learn!

So this should be fixed now. I do not know if this method will continue to work in the future as most sites frown upon it. I have to scrape the id off of the patreon user page so that I can direct traffic directly to the become a patron page. Patreons API is still a bit rough and I’m not even sure if they’ve realized the potential of sites like…[Read more]

Yeah, I’ve never found an ARPG I’ve loved as much as Diablo II. Diablo III I can’t even look at. Grim Dawn and Path of Exile were both pretty close, but no Diablo II’s.

I think FBW will be a better game. I liked SoT a lot, but FBW looks like the GAME itself is more deep.

Meanwhile, I’m a weak weak sack of poo – I just bought Grim Dawn on sale on GoG :-( It was a good price, and a HATE what they did with Diablo 3 and would like to experience a more quality ARPG

Tabletop RPGs are not for everyone, I get it. I just love getting together with friends and telling a story as a group. It never goes how you expect it to, which is half the fun.

That passion and follow through is awesome. You should write up this history sometime in a blog or blog series here, I’m sure other gamers would like to read it and be inspired for their own projects.

My love for gaming was rekindled in my teenage years due to my love for open wheel race cars. Indy and Formula 1 mostly. I couldn’t afford a real race car so i used games too scratch that itch.

On the nerdier side… i am a big collector of entertainment. Vintage movie formats, retro games and computers, X-Men comics and various CCG’s. I have…[Read more]

Oh  man, the history here is a lot longer than most know. This started for me as electrickz.com in 2000. I was writing reviews in a notebook while working at six flags. Building every page manually. In 2003-ish i moved the work over to xblgamer.com which was any Xbox focused site. Then in June of 2006 i registered this domain and started bugging…[Read more]
