Currently Writing About... (3 Viewers)

Ok, so what are you currently writing about for the site? This thread is simply to help us avoid writing about the same things (as is entirely possible). Let's keep it on topic for the sake of the children.

 

[Stan Bowles]

Drunken xbox addiction (pretty much done).
Possible jetpac refueled review (need to actualy buy it first).

I was thinking maybe we could take it in turns to buy and review every XBLA game, even the shite ones? Would mean a review a week, and you could really go to town on the crap games.....

 

[Johnnyc]

I've not started it yet, but I'm gonna write about my first X-box live experiences.

I think it would be nice if we all wrote a bit about our first memories of gaming too.

 

[Lefty Frizzell]

Xbox Elite

Also thinking of doing some kind of weekly bargain games thing, links to sites and shops. Small review of game + link to online retailer.

I'm always keepin an eye on loads of retail websites so it should be fairly easy to do and it could be a useful hook to keep people coming back.

is there any issues with regard to posting links to online retailers?

Yeah thats sounds good.

I might write about the megadrive sitting in my attic that still smells of the burning I induced by accidentally pouring a tall glass of ribena right the fuck into the game slot.. and leaving it plugged in for 5 hours afterward. Probably not, though.

I was going to write about my bizzaro experiences on XBOX live and the weird socially inept jerks it harbours.

I'm uncertain.

Do this. Sounds great.

Nope, and if we set ourselves up as affiliates we take a small cut. Herself makes more than enough this way to pay for the upkeep of beaut.ie

Leave me out of it jerkoff.

Great idea. Don't think I've seen anything like this.

We could even consider meeting in a chat room (oo-er) and turning an edited transcript into an article like one of those "musicians meet in a pub and shoot the breeze" features you see from time to time. Sorta like a written podcast, where we just chat about shit.

 

[CitySickness]

I might write something about brainwashing my girlfriend into believing she likes games.

And the side-effects of such a venture - ie. you get less time on your machine cos ur gf is hogging it.

Or go to the pub, get pissed and give out about shit.

you'll remain nameless, but be aware.. in this piece, you're the main event in the XBOX live circus of maniacs.

Will we get makeup?

 

[Johnnyc]

Will we get makeup?

Fucking hope so. Only reason I'm doing it.

What does your lady get from her blog anyway, Stan?

We will eventually get paid to do this, so much so that we'll actually be shitting money.

 

[Stan Bowles]

What does your lady get from her blog anyway, Stan?

It varies, 100-200 a month (I think, I don't like to ask too many questions), and the freebies are mental. Free products, colonics, trips away to spas etc.

An ego the size of the Hindenburg. Ah no, only messin.

Careful now, if I leave to room and I'm logged on she could read this. you wouldn't like her when she's angry.
