It's been a while. I stopped by to check on you guys.
I have been busy. Playing old games, playing a couple of new ones, laptops breaking down, have a cold, making a local magazine. Other stuff too.
We changed the name of Insert Coin and launched a new games site last week. It's still early, there are some bugs, especially with IE but its coming along. Hope to have it improve presentationally.
It's here: http://www.thevgpress.com
It's all gamespot or ex-gamespot posters you know, basically a swap from Gamingeek Weekly to Insert Coin to VGPress.
The big change is forums, yes there is now a board. No modding except for porn.
This is the front page:
It has a static page per week with a couple of fake stories on the front written by users.
This is the profile page with your own blogs and your friends blogs tracked.
The forums have one board, just a general board but now you can have your own threads, vote them up and down and chat about anything you like. There is no off topic restriction.
Finally, the sites premiere feature continues, GGWeekly is an open source news update page where as a member you can update with any story/preview/review you see. All the news comes thick and fast each day, yet is logically held and displayed on one page per week and refreshed every Monday morning. We generally all hang out there.
We need some more guys for new views and chat and more fun. You can do whatever you like really, as we do. Post stupid youtube videos, post pictures of scantily clad ladies (no nudity allowed), chat about games and news and make podcasts. It's pretty cool. It's early as the site is less than a week old, has some bugs and presentationally isn't all there yet, but hopefully these issues will be ironed out in the coming months and years.
If I don't see you guys there, merry christmas, miss you guys. Bye.
