Ever heard of sarcasm? I spent hours checking domain names and finding out that ALL good ones are taken (once again), but I eventually came up with one: GamingVulture.com! ... it's a gaming... vulture. You know. The animal. If you think it's bad (which I don't), you should try finding a good .com with "game*" or "gaming*" that isn't taken and NOT EVEN USED. (At least a bizarre mental picture helps for recognition. GoDaddy.com makes no sense for a domain registrar, for example.) |

GoDaddy sounds like a porn-site; you'd probaly get lots of hits Anywho - why all this whining about "YO BIG CAPITALIST MONSTER WHO WANT TO MAKE MONEY OFF MY SWEAT AND TEARS!!!" :p Grow up - do you actually think he could pay you for your infinite wisdom? Do you think he'll make that kind of profit? If you made a gaming-site, would you be able to pay reviewers? Hardly. Stop bitching, please. I'm up for writing a review or two, but I think I'd concentrate on the 'retro' section - games that should be kept alive in the hearts of men BTW (Kimmo): Since you have no budget (and thus can't send out review-copies of games) you'll of course have to take reviews of just the games your reviewers happen to have bought. I have some wishes on the site, by the way! -Have you noticed that it's almost impossible (nowadays) to figure out what the heck actually Happens in a game? The things they write about it are "superduper back story, graphic perfection in an amazing land of elves and faggots, with 30 different weapons and individual interaction!!" - WTF?? - how about telling me something about the game Mechanics in a raw fact-sheet on the side?!? Like:
-If you know what I mean. These are all things that are Impossible to find out from most reviews, not to mention the box of the game. Thus I bought Legacy of Caine (or whatever) without knowing it had fixed cameras, which I abhor in an action game :p

Are you one of those who like to say random things to piss of thread authors so that the thread becomes a flamewar instead of what it was intended to be? It's not random, it's not to piss you off, it's just the truth. If you think I, and everyone else with "negativity" here is wrong, then prove us wrong, make your site, and make it good, and the prove us. |

If you don't read what I write, it probably doesn't make any sense, no. Quote: BTW (Kimmo): Since you have no budget (and thus can't send out review-copies of games) you'll of course have to take reviews of just the games your reviewers happen to have bought.
Well... as mentioned in the original post, there wouldn't even be reviews on there at all. Perhaps a bad decision, but where would we get the games, other than warezing them? I only have an Xbox warezable, and it's soon "expired". |

Hmm... if you're not going to have reviews on the site, what Are you going to have on it? I don't see any problem with people just writing reviews of games they like - it's not your problem if they're warez or not. People Do buy a lot of games, too

Maybe it can be expanded to hold reviews later. (God damn TheRegister.com for stealing my favicon! |

Quote: Um... News and articles, as I've mentioned quite a few times now? And these articles will be about? How to master a game? Interviews with the authors? Such stuff? You can't blame people for not comprehending your first post, it was quite massive and not that well written. What will the articles be about for example now that reviews are out of the question? To write something about new hardware is also out of the question if it's not copied from another site. |
