I’ve watched a number of different call-out walk-throughs, each w/ different calls. This one by Wraith 1uk seems to be the closest to the maps which came w/ the official Halo 4 guidebook.

You don’t necessarily need to reduce the size in the terms of measurement. There are tools which will keep the same dimensions but reduce the memory size of an image substantially. It is the memory “size” measured in kb or mb which can slow a load time. Most of these tools I think simply reduce the number of color options from unlimited to 250…[Read more]

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.

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.

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]

* What specific things do you feel make a successful gaming site?
Somewhere to go to find like minded gamers.
A calendar or something so game nights can be scheduled and signed up for.

* What things do you not like about gaming sites?
Assholes, but I don’t think there is much you can do about that.
Hard to navigate. Too many forum topics where…[Read more]

[quote=53402]Looks purrrdy! You know Donkey Kong Country was one of my first gaming addictions, right? So colorful… where haz all the color gone…?[/quote]

I do remember you mentioning having played DKC.

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

Thank you :)  I started a Masters program, fractured my hand, and got addicted to cycling so chewed up a lot of time there.  I want to work a couple of nights in to blast some timmies though, again. ;)

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]

Well, I really enjoyed my time with the Beta and it’s solidified my decision to move on to the XB1. I didn’t get too hung up on the graphics either as I knew, as worm stated, this really should be a “next-gen” game. In all honesty, I’m surprised the 360 and PS3 are even getting the game.

The PvP did get better for me as I found some better…[Read more]

Welcome back, Pontiff. I was wondering where you disappeared to. It will be good to game with you again. :yes:

I hope to carve some time out for customs and another night maybe, won’t be on as much as was prior to my hiatus, hopefully I still have some friends on my friends list!

Why are you not playing the beta?
[/quote]

Two reasons, really. I played way too much Borderlands 2. Really burned out on that type of game at the moment. And, I didn’t have any interest in playing it on the 360 because I knew a better looking version could be played on One/PS4, which I have not yet acquired.

Maybe I’ll be in…[Read more]
