Totally understand on the backlog. I have a review for Heat Signature about 90% done, and a few more Games You Missed articles in their initial stages. I’ll knock those out, and then write some site guides for your review/approval.
I’m traveling for work next week, so outside of my work hours, I won’t have many distractions or responsibilities.…[Read more]

Fudge Golem replied to the topic How does everyone write their reviews? in the forum Writers Block 7 years, 10 months ago
When I first started writing at work, I used to read all my projects out loud in a room by myself for those very same reasons. I’ve been writing for a while now, so I’ve gotten out of the habit.
But now that I am writing something new, I should start again. You know what you meant to write, so your brain automatically corrects as you read.…[Read more]

One thing I do that may help you out, every article/review I write I go back and read it in my own voice in my head. Any time I trip up while reading my own work I stop and take a look to see if I can word that sentence or paragraph better. I catch a lot of grammatical and spelling errors this way, but also notice bad habits of mine as well. I…[Read more]

I didn’t even realize FBW was out next week. I still have to finish Stick of Truth, but most likely will not get that game until Black Friday or next spring when sales are decent.

Thanks for the pointers sn0w, I will go back and take a look at editing more now that I have had some time away from it, and I will consider cutting out the headers.

The new trailer for Star Wars – The Last Jedi came out last night, and it looks amazing. Probably full of misdirection to get the hype train rolling and fans talking, but it’s going to be tasty.
I’m a life long Star Wars fan, but I think this is a make or break point for Disney as far as how they will fare with the Star Wars legacy. Of course…[Read more]

Hah, yeah I’m paring my purchasing plans down – I have a LOT going on and not enough time to play. Totally absorbed in BotW right now. I think the only gaming purchase I’ll get for the rest of the year will be South Park FBW.

Hey Fudge, I corrected the heading on your Flotilla review. The bold heading atop the pages are the Post Summary which is the first box underneath the content editor. You can see where I made this change when you edit the page. This is basically one of the reasons why I’ve been trying to figure out an acceptable and working gui for users to post…[Read more]

Looking back at this, I definitely did not stick to the plan of skipping Destiny 2, damn co-workers.
I bought a brand new treadmill last month, so instead of the QLED, Pro and Switch, I’m just going to get the X1X with a TCL P406, AC Origins, Forza 7.

You should go back and give RDR a try if you can. It’s playable on PS3 X360 and X1 if you have any of those systems and is highly recommended.
I’m not a big Western fan either, but holy shit does that game have an amazing story. There are very few games that hit me in the feels, this game was one of them. That ending! Argh!

Anything you can help with would be greatly appreciated. I have a section in the Jobs area for one or multiple guides for potential writers, but since I’m a programmer first and writer last I didn’t feel competent enough to write one up.
I think I’ve just been a bit burnt out lately with Destiny 2 coming out. I looked back at my backlog and had 6…[Read more]

I never played the first one, so I’m not coming into it with an inherent love for the series. I’m also not a huge old-west person. But this does look really good. I may give it a try at some point. I think I’d find exploring the wilds more rewarding than the cityscape sandbox of GTA

Lol, I found that if you set text to a Heading format and bold and/or italicize it, then it shows up! Yay workaround!

Hey all, doing a little thread necromancy here. I’ve read through this discussion and others on how you all write reviews.
I just posted a review of an older game, Flotilla, as a test to familiarize myself a bit more with your site and how to post etc. (I’m not sure why my headings and sub-headings aren’t showing up :( ).
I tried to kinda f…[Read more]

Got it!
Well to save you some time (I’m sure this site can be a handful) I will add two for your approval. Then more as needed.
Then maybe I can spin up a little guide with screenshots so others could do the same? Would that be helpful? I figure the less admin burden on you, the more you can focus on meaningful stuff like the Fall updates.

Yes, that is the correct area to submit a new game to be added, they’re still posted for review so I have to approve them. In general though I simply tell people to let me know what they want added and I will do all of the work finding the data and adding it. If you want to add a game though the only item needed is the Title of the game, I can…[Read more]

I’m excited by another RDR game, so I’ll definitely find a way to play it even though it doesn’t seem like it’s coming to PC.
But I’m a bit disappointed it’s a prequel. We were literally all set up to play Jack Marston after the original, and it would have been an interesting story: In the last game, Jack avenges his father at the risk of…[Read more]

I’ve been tied up with projects at work, but I wanted to start a discussion of the processes of submitting reviews. I figure if we get this out in the open and clarified, its more likely more of the 150+ users will step up to add reviews. Hopefully this is the right part of the Forums to discuss it.
So in other discussions about reviews across…[Read more]
