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]

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]

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]

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.

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]

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]

Nice, I think I have a buddy from GameSpot who is out there, he’s not active on the site tho. :(

I think vid content depends on what platform you’re gaming on. I’ll be using the X1X for a lot of capture in the near future, as well as the PS4 Pro. Probably also going to buy a 4k60 Pro from  Elgato when it comes out, or soon after. For retro it’s…[Read more]

Honestly, I’ve been ignoring my responsibilities here because I can’t seem to put the controller down lately. Started at the beginning of the month with Prey and morphed into Destiny 2 on its launch. I still need to finish Prey, but a co-worker has been actively playing D2 with me a lot and it’s been nice to play games with a buddy again.

I’ve…[Read more]

My theory in answer to this situation is that gamers need access to a site that allows a range of reviews that are allowed to be honest, opinionated, and built more as thorough critiques. Groups of gamers will gravitate to the reviewers that best align with their tastes to be entertained and informed.

This is exactly what our review system was…[Read more]
