It finally happened, I'm starting a gaming blog - your input wanted

[Maximilian]

Wow you're obviously a quality writer.

Bit of a dick arent you gayner :\

I own the domain wownerd.com... I was never sure what I was going to do with it. I'm thinking about doing a sort of blog type of thing, but I want to include more information. Sort of like "mini-guides" to various aspects.

But for you... what interests you? I mean, don't write about stuff that's boring to you. Not everyone is going to necessarily like what you have (according to this thread, it seems some already don't ), but who cares!

Hm...I'm not sure if I like the name to be honest. I review for a site called www.capturethepoint.com as Guitar...if you needed reviewers or something I might be willing to help you out once you get it launched. Can't see the site from where I am now. :\

Lol Aikouka, that is an interesting name.

Welp - here's a Borderlands review I put up today. I'll try to do one or two review posts a week.

Don't hold me to that.

To add to my post now that I can see it, nice and clean layout.

As for your review...it is alright I suppose. I don't think you're the best writer in the world, but that can develop over time. I also think you should refrain from using all that odd text markup such as in the 2nd paragraph- but then again, even if a problem, it's a pet peeve of mine. Also words like rando and stuff..I'd lay off them- but then of course it's the same as my second point.

Stop trying to turn every sentence into a joke. You're not particularly funny and it's just frustrating to read. I mean, there's some mildly amusing sentences in there but when you dilute your jokes so much they lose their impact.

Heh - well, I'll make a note of it :sneaky: but it's how I pay my bills, so someone thinks I'm doing something right.

I like it. I like the writing and I think the humor is very good. You could tone the jokes down every so often so it doesn't get old, but that's just a vague feeling of mine. What you have so far works well.

Regarding the formatting, I don't like how the post title sits above the boxed date and below the date is another bolded title. I say make the post title stand out more than the bolded title.

I don't know why godless and gayer insist on being such douchebags. Fortunately the ignore user list on vB fixes all that.

 

[Jschmuck2]

Yeah the formatting is still a work in progress. I'll play with it today and try and tone those bolder titles down a bit

I think he is kinda funny. But yeah, there is some value to balancing the writing instead of trying to be funny all the time.

Being a bit of an old fart I think that anyone who takes the trouble to get something off the ground, should get support. NOT ridicule and childish unhelpful remarks.If after a while the blog doesn't work, then fine, the guy has tried. For chrissake why do people feel they have to tear something down before its built?
Ah I feel a lot better now for getting that off my chest.

While I appreciate the input (and I do) taking advice from a 19 year old who sprinkles his own blog with the word "f@gg*t" isn't high up on my priority list.

Holy long paragraphs, Batman!
