You may have noticed a few changes that I have made to the site, here is a punchy, dotpoint outline:<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright\" style=\"float: right;\" src=\"http:\/\/www.danielprimed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/06\/feel-the-magic-silhouette.jpg\" alt=\"feel the magic silhouette\" width=\"160\" height=\"235\" \/>New Slew of Content Spotlight articles<br \/>\nRemoved Sexiest People in Games<br \/>\nRemoved Retro Review<br \/>\nRemoved Images that Defined Video Games<br \/>\nAdded Visual Connection<br \/>\nAdded Journals<br \/>\nRemoved BlogRush Widget<br \/>\nAdded Twitter Feed<\/p>\n<p>Basically I felt that the removed features didn&#8217;t match where I want to go with the site. The Retro Review was originally intended to be an overview of older titles but I think that this ultimately fails when A) I&#8217;d rather critique then write a technical account B) There are already sites like Wikipedia, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mobygames.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">MobyGames<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/hg101.classicgaming.gamespy.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">HardcoreGaming101<\/a> which do this already and do it better.<\/p>\n<p>Despite Googles favouritism towards it, I don&#8217;t wish to continue the <a href=\"http:\/\/danielprimed.com\/gaming\/general-gaming\/sexiest-people-in-games-morrigan-aensland\" target=\"_blank\">Sexiest People in Games<\/a> feature. Once again it is a bit like me pretending to be biopic\/Wikipedia role doesn&#8217;t really fit me. I do like the idea of Visual Connection though as it is a way for me to congregate those largely image dominated articles together. Journals as stated <a href=\"http:\/\/danielprimed.com\/regular-features\/journal\/an-analysis-of-interactive-blogging-features-and-language-in-fostering-characterization-and-community-building\" target=\"_blank\">last time<\/a> is a platform for me to attempt (read: struggle) to write something of an academic nature.<\/p>\n<p>I have also kindly taken up <a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/danielprimed\" target=\"_blank\">Twitter<\/a> in the past month and now it is a part of this site. Yay! If you haven&#8217;t caught on yet (don&#8217;t worry I was pretty slow with this one too) Twitter is a new interactive site where you post what you are doing in 140 words and less and people \u201ctweet\u201d back and forth. This is a great way for you to stalk me, alas, stalk away!<\/p>\n<p>I also removed that <a href=\"http:\/\/blogrush.com\" target=\"_blank\">BlogRush<\/a> rubbish which is 100% useless trash for self conscious web entrepreneurs, just to let you know. ^_^<\/p>\n<p>300 words in and I have already lied about this being brief. No matter it makes an adequate enough segue. I know that the last couple of articles have been colossus in size, while I enjoy writing to such length I would like to condense and concentrate the majority of future articles so that it makes everything a bit easier to digest on your end. That doesn&#8217;t mean I will quit the lengthy article because I love them dearly, rather as the title pokes at, I just want to re-focus and concentrate my efforts.
