Site Updates (14/1/07)

January 14th, 2008

Hey guys, I’ve made a few fixes and tweaks to the website for your viewing pleasure, so heres the list of changes:

the Archive page now works
new ICO file in title (the coin box)
About page text and image has been updated and improved
email feed now has its own input box
the ‘Poll Archive’ link has been removed
‘Drop us a line’ link now directs to Contact page
‘Link Me’ has been added next to Share This
The ‘Link Out’ box now links correctly
Contact form style has been included

I still need to get the tags working as they don’t link correctly. But beyond that the site is now much more polished. If you do notice any broken links or site faults then please leave a comment.

Link Out (6/12/07)

December 4th, 2007

Link Out is a regular site feature where I link out to exteral content from other websites and blogs. Basically its a way of my expressing gratitude to the site owners as wlel as providing an outlet for you guys to access further interesting gaming information. So lets get down to it, shall we?

Crap-Detector: Previously-released Gears of War PC reviews – FPS Rantings

Mike from FPS Rantings has recently been reporting about issues with the recently released Gears of War for the PC. Mike has been having a tonn of problems with the port and has been sharing his experience on FPS Rantings. He has also pointed out how these issues haven’t been mentioned in review conducted by your major gaming websites. So if you are like me and are thinking about picking this game up sometime then check out the last 3 weeks worth of posts where he outlines his experiences with the game.

Music in Video Games – Girls Don’t Game

After a few weeks of inactivity Girls Don’t Game have bounced back with a series of really interesting posts all of which would be worth a mention. But I can only fit one so I selected Music in Video Games as lately I have been listening to a lot of game music lately. Monique shares some of her favourite gaming tunes and she has some great tastes.

IGN’s Top 100

I’m not too fussed about these top 100 lists anymore but something in this one got me thinking. I’ve been doing a bit of research into the pre-1985 consoles so your Ataris, Apple II, BBC Micro etc. And what I realized through this research was actually how ground breaking Super Mario Bros (IGN’s number one pick) was.

Even though there were some ground breaking games on the pre-1985 consoles there hadn’t been anything that had real mass market, global appeal. The crash of 1983 stopped gaming almost to a halt. And then SMB was released in 1985. The thing about SMB was unlike the console titles before it, I was truly ground breaking and had mass market appeal. It not only saved gaming from the pitfalls of despair, it also defines everything right about video games and what every game should strive to be.

Welcome to The Gaming Blog

November 22nd, 2007

So you’ve probably come to the site to see whats new and have been stunned by the crazy transformation, right? Well allow me to explain whats going on.

What I have done is removed all of the non video game related content an placed it in a new personal blog located at http://primescape.danielprimed.com . I did this to make the blogs more defined in content rather than being a mish mash of unrelated old and new topics. To find out more about everything that has happened take a look here.

What’s New?

What you’ll firstly notice is the new template to accommodate the overall site revision. I’ve stuck with a familiar layout but changed the graphics to give the site a new feel. With this I have added new regular feature image buttons and added a site poll. In addition there will be a few smaller changes going on while I adjust the site to my liking.

As I started writing about video games 6 months ago all of the content since then is on this blog. I’ve had to re-date some of the older content that I wanted to keep so that it fitted within this time period too. Everything else is over at PrimeScape.

Conclusion

I hope that you all like this new move. Although if something isn’t working or doesn’t look right then please drop me an email via the contact form or just leave a comment. Wordpress likes to leave little symbols everywhere and mess up the page’s HTML. So theres probably a few of those kinda errors lurking around.

I’ll be working on the site over the next few days, just ironing out any remaining problems. I’ve already got a slew of great articles on the way to celebrate the revised version of this site, so be sure to subscribe to the RSS or email feed to stay up to date.

Thanks heaps for your continued support. ^_^
