I play through the entire game, always. That's not really a question when it comes to a review, as far as I'm concerned. I don't take notes. I tend to remember the great and the terrible, and that's what should be pointed out anyway. No, I start and finish on MS Word. I have really shit handwriting and my desk is always insanely cluttered anyway.
It's usually sent as an email to Nick, and then he handles the rest. TNL 4.0 has a spiffy new system in place that'll make submissions a hell of a lot easier.
No.
Not enough? Unless you're Nick or cka. Then too much.
Yes. Alaskan Ear Pull contests.
Knowing that we write for an obscure gaming site where nobody but jaded asses will ever read our contributions is reward enough in and of itself.
What is this "work" you speak of?

hahaha. Nice.

Really though, I've never known you've written for something.

Please susplain.

This is just a thought, so don't call me crazy or anything...but maybe if you guys consistently posted quality content that you can't find most anywhere else you'd attract some non jaded asses to the forums.

that we could scare away.

Consistency is hard when the only guy who ran this site before NIck, had the gold content (early games and the such if we ever got any) go through himself. The site itself was pretty much being forcefully run by one man who had literally almost lost his mind by putting pressure on himself to keep it running and trying to make it better even though there was never anyone really forcing him too.

Basically if you can't afford to pay people and enforce commitments, which honestly, you can't on a site like this, then you can expect it to be run and function like this.

Personally I think the one thing this site gets right is E3 coverage. From the people watching the streams on the boards to how we manage to snag weird interviews withi peopel you'd never expect, thats how you do it. Everything else we do though, I completely but understand why, isn't quite up to that standard.

Aye, I totally understand why the site doesn't get updated like it should be, but I do feel bad about it sometimes.

I haven't finished reviews I promised for Pokémon: FR/LG, DDR Extreme, and LSL: Magna Cum Laude. I haven't installed LSL yet.

Life, work, and addictive games (Halo 2, WoW) get in the way. I think the only way to motivate me is under threat of physicial violence.

And that's because the guys who work for TNL are generall smart guys who are passionate, if jaded about games. Unfortunately a passion for games doesn't a website right, or exclusive info score. But it does make for great e3 coverage. And it makes this site kick ass.

Rich writes for that awesome gaming site with the thousands upon thousands of members.

Send him an email and tell him how great his site is, if he doesnt get back to you quickly, it's because he gets hundreds of emails a day.

Here's his email address: RICH@GOT-NEXT.COM

Never say that to Mzo when I'm in the same thread.


Also, you just want to be overlord.
