We’ve all heard the vicious lie. “Video games are useless forms of passing time.” They wag a finger at us. They tell us that continuing to play said video games will render us hostages, slipping into the depths of a mind numbing abyss, in which, we will vegetate until our skin peels off and our eyes bug out.
Wait a minute. Since when was exercising your prefrontal cortex a bad thing? Continue reading Game On: Memoir of a GamerGirl
I just want to give a quick note to all visitors. This site will be going dark as of 8AM, Jan. 18th in protest of the SOPA. For more information about the SOPA, please look here. It’s, at it’s core, wide-spread internet censorship and should not be tolerated. IT’s footsteps into totalitarianism. For any writers of the site, you can still use the backend. (login and write posts.) but when viewing the front facing part of the site (what everyone is seeing right now.) it will not show up until 8pm of Jan. 18th. Thank you for your support. Wow, with all my college stuff going on this piece of news totally slipped by me. On Jan. 2, about 300 employees at a plant belonging to Taiwan-based Foxconn asked their boss for a raise. They were told either quit their positions with compensation or keep their jobs and receive no additional payment. Many workers chose to quit with compensation, but the company terminated the agreement, and none of them were given the money they were promised. These workers, specifically, are the ones that manufacture the xbox360 and these 300 people threatened to commit suicide by jumping off one of the buildings that did not have nets installed.
The group of 300 eventually, with the help of the Mayor, came down and none jumped. UPDATE:
If you remember (or if you don’t, I don’t care, I’m telling you anyways.) Foxconn factories have been in the news limelight several times the past couple years for having terrible working conditions and dozens of suicides per year. I mean, when you have to install “jump nets” on your buildings then you are trying to slap a band-aid over a missing limb. Indignant workers threaten suicide at Foxconn park in Wuhan｜Society｜News｜WantChinaTimes.com.
In this review, ReverEND and I (Sufyan) will be taking a closer look at Street Fighter 4 for both mobile platforms, iOS and Android and compare some differences in the and the similarities. So sit back and read…..DO IT! Continue reading Sreet Fighter IV Mobile reviewed (Android/iOS)
Yeah, that’s right. I worked a little too late into the morning and whipped up a rough idea of what the site is going to look like from now on (for now). Some nice touches will follow throughout the weeks to smooth out the edges. Maybe tweak the color scheme. I haven’t decided yet but if anyone has ideas they would be appreciated. To the direct left is a hot chick. That’s temporary. But, to the right you’ll see several items. First. Facebook Login; you can link your Facebook account to the site. Doing so, the site will automatically setup an account for you. From there you can then access the forums, create or join a group. Why join? Well, once we have a larger following we will have groups for specific games, systems, etc. for members to share, upload pics, discuss things. etc. etc. Below that is your points. You gain points by participating on the site while logged into your account. Make a group, forum topic, update your profile, make a comment.. its all worth points. What are they worth? Bragging rights. Oh, and somethings here and there will require points…. Eventually. Along with that, there is a donate section. Where you can donate to the site and in return you will receive points. From there we have a list of hotly anticipated games and how many days are left until their release! Under that a feed of the top selling games currently on Amazon.com and under that what’s being posted about the site on Facebook.com Thanks for stopping by.. enjoy! Originally posted.

Simply wow!. You guys are going to love this one. There are times on the internet that rise above the mundane and ordinary. Those get into the news maybe, sometimes it spreads across the Twitter or the Facebookz. But, once in a great while, an event takes place that requires a monument to be erected for it… for all the interwebz to remember it by. My friends, this is the story of Ocean Marketing and how they became a MEME! Continue reading How NOT to advertise your wares. |
