Content Calling

[cbre88x]

Glad my request was talked about. I might be able to do write-ups on game tips/strategies or something like that. It'd be like a bi-weekly thing...maybe.

[backfire]

Hmm, I could do a guide of some of the best scout trick jumps across several maps. The morality of spreading these secrets is questionable, but content = good, right?

I can see one now.

You can't. Stop trying damnit. Although if you had aimbot you might be better than me."

Just some ideas for content:

-info on old games that should be played or indie games that should be played
-reviews on mods
-guides and strategies
-how to's
-reviews on new games
-game feature/story analysis

Also I use the term review loosely. There are a ton of review sites that give numbers and tell you whether to buy things or not. I'd rather see a sort of honest discussion about the game: what was good, what was bad, what worked, what didn't, how the story/atmosphere/sound was, etc. Just try and make it a BRB thing and not a everyone else thing.

Review Grading

Never Uninstall - This game is so good it should be on every hard drive of every system you build, ever
Ex: Fallout 1, 2, Half Life 2

Re-Install - This game is great, revisit it from time to time, but it need not occupy a permanent home on your HDD
Ex: Deus Ex

Install - Worth a play, then remove it

Uninstall - Sucks, but a few people might enjoy it

brbuninstalling - holy shit this sucks, the developers should recall it faster than a speeding prius

If you never uninstall deus ex, it breaks the meme "Whenever someone on the internet mentions Deus Ex, somewhere, someone reinstalls it"

Can I have a rage column where I get to bitch about the world while everyone imagines me talking like Lewis Black?  On a more serious note, not content perse, but an IRC applet would be nice.  Get more ppl on IRC, and help those of us who access the net at times from places that block IRC ports.

I agree about the applet... and you know I would totally read a rage column. Maybe a rage column that's made by all of us? A sort of "You know what I hate?" thing with topics/themes, or just where anyone can contribute to it when they feel like they need to. Of course, ought to be game related or something like that, gaming culture related, etc.


I've got a TF2 related rant or two I could think about doing.

I'd love an IRC applet, Mibbit has one but they try and make you pay for it. I've seen a decent one for Rizon but I dunno if it was server specific or if it could work for any server (there was no server choice in the applet, just Rizon)?

[[fr31ns]Karrde]

I'm pretty sure there's several free ubiquitous ones out there.

This is the applet GameSurge's site uses.

We could have a picture of the day kind of thing. Maybe a section with pictures and specs of member rigs?

Good news. I got Awakening.

Bad news. I need to beat Dragon Age for the third time .

[Didzo]

How about embedding a chatroom?

[beep beep diglett]

How about embedding a IRC because im phenomenally lazy and cant take 5 mins to get on irc

I thought the rage is already maxed out when Karrde and I happen to be playing at the same time... On incompetent teams on custom maps.
