Videogame blog attempt 2

Hey guys, just thought I'd share with you my newest attempt to get an active videogame blog going. Like last time, if anyone wants to submit stuff they are more then welcome. I want it to be a platform for cool videogame people to get their opinions heard and share some cool stuff. If people want author accounts let me know. If robot wants to have automated access to the blog posting service repping RU I'm ok with that too.

Thing is, this blog won't likely be work safe. That doesn't mean I want people being jerks to each other, just swear words and stuff will be allowed.

ANYWAY, can't believe this domain was available, but here goes

NSFW!
No Casuals

Let's say it's VICE meets GAME PLAYERS MAGAZINE.

I don't know how wordpress works at all, really.

I like the idea, and the stuff on there so far is good.

Pm your email address and I'll send you some log in deets. Don't worry wordpress is really simple to use, you'll be a pro in a couple of weeks. If you can make posts on RU you can make posts on WP.

that mamezach blog is awesome! (just added it to an rss feed on the side panel)

Re: Videogame blog attempt 2

I like the style of some of the articles so far. It seems like several bits are presented with little fear of saying blunt and crudely negative things about Ipods and DLC and such yet it's in an ironically casual tone that's not filled with a lot of passion. I feel like I'm silently reminded through the tone that I don't have sweat anything and can take it in a non serious manner.

Life's too boring to be serious.

So, what are some guidelines?
Retro/modern?
western/import?
Review/preview?
That kind of thing.

Sure.

FYI, one of the plans was to have a serious review section, like kind of like the old days of EGM/GamePro. Once we get the ball rolling I'll create a review page and feature the posts there.

The goal is personality,

I can do serious reviews as well as more humorous articles.

No no man, just do what you naturally want to do. Don't try to please anyone but yourself. lol if you start something with the idea of making it "humorous" it's probably going to turn out like an comedy open mic. They ain't good.
