Hello everyone. First post and it's juicy spam (but I talked to Vandamguy, and he gave me the go ahead). Basically, I've been working on a site to display game release dates. It comes in two flavours: us dates and uk dates, and also has RSS and iCal feeds a'plenty.

The sites main aim is to skip the crap and just deliver game release dates quickly. But it's relatively new, so I'm posting here to get opinions and suggestions, more than anything. That said, if you like the site, please spread the word!

They're pretty much bookmarks that tell you when the site has something new on it.

I have RSS Ticker informing me of things like Catalyst updates (which is now suspect), new porn torrents on Deadfrog, and new pics on I Can Has Cheezburger.  I used to monitor BRB's feed but you bastards are too fucking chatty.

Yeah, I don't use any kind of RSS feed reader. But I do like using Firefox's Live Bookmark feature - which, along with FT's upcoming PC release date feed, gives me a dropdown like this:

(And before anyone calls me on it, that's the date for the non-Steam L4D release!)

Very cool. I'm just getting used to RSS feeds now, still trying to get them to display to my satisfaction in my iGoogle page.
