I don’t use gamer sites very often, but when I do, I’m usually looking for usable knowledge such as:

standard map call-outs
is it a 4-shot or a 5-shot kill to the head?
strategic map control…standard set-ups and map control points
re-spawn times for power weapons and vehicles
etc

I use Photo Shop Elements to edit my photos (there are other options of course) and it allows me to “save image for web” which drastically cuts the image memory capacity w/o compromising the image quality on a computer/mobile device. This has helped improve my load times for some pages.

Another alternative is to create two images, one small one…[Read more]

Tropical Freeze is quickly becoming a top 10 all-time in my book. Beautiful, amazing soundtrack, tight controls, top-tier platforming design and a challenging to very tough difficulty, albeit fair.

I’m trying to think of a song, but it’s not coming to me. Help me out here.

DON”T YOU DARE DO IT, W0RM!!!

On another track, it seems to me a lot of sites are successful that have some sort of “thing” that a large audience is a fan of. This means more people hear about the site, and then more people come to the site. It’s one of the reasons I’ve tried news and videos, but other people are already doing that.

I think I’ve had a major creative block…[Read more]

Is the site now mobile friendly? It’s supposed to be, then I go and load up these huge image files, because I’m a visual person and I like teh visualz. Like I totally simplified, then I put high def headers on every page  :wuh?:

I can check out the site on my android, but I…[Read more]

I don’t know what the answer is to help maintain a healthy forum. It helps when people don’t split immediately after filling their friends list.

I like forums, though. I enjoy reading conversation primarily focused on video games and occasionally care to join the conversation.

These days, being mobile friendly is a HUGE deal.

Cool beans, guys, thanks for your input.

I will certainly take you up on that offer! I am going to be joining in on the Thursday Night Casuals, and probably streaming it if the party is…[Read more]

I would like to talk about this a little….. maybe on live or something….  just so many things to say, I just dont wanna type that much  :p !

Not that I am full of ideas or anything….  but it still involves alot of things and experiences.

Having like 10+ years of being involved on some kind of forums/groups, can say I have probably ex…[Read more]

The most important thing for me is simply an active group. This is, of course, the most challenging aspect to running a site. As gamers we have so many different distractions and places to go for gaming news, tips, tricks, videos, etc, it’s hard to start something new and different.

I mean, we’ve seen successful sites close their doors either due…[Read more]

Thanks for responding, Edie.

[quote=53415]I think the biggest problem with gaming websites is that once you build your friends list and are playing with a regular group you don’t have much of a reason to visit the site any more. I don’t know how to fix that.

I think this is definitely true for a lot of gamers, but I’m sure there are a t…[Read more]

This was shared on FaceBook by The Higher Ark. It’s hilarious. And cute. You must watch it :D

I do remember you mentioning having played DKC.

This one is excellent too. Probably the best platformer on Wii U.

Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze

I saw you in a full party last night Chaos. I’m just giving you a hard time for leaving me out in the cold and making me feel generally unwanted and worthless.

:p (please know I’m kidding)

On a side note though, that is was prompted me to go into the Explore area, so there is an upside. A whole section of the Beta I would have missed if I’d been…[Read more]
