FilmSpot

Interesting, my first blog post outside of TV.com. Apparently there is a new CNet website; FilmSpot. It seems pretty cool- you can choose your own icon, choose your favorite movies and rate them out of 5 stars, post on the forums, etc. What I like the best is the movie trailers. The one thing that sets apart from some of the other CNet sites is how the levels work; I haven't quite figured out how it works yet. I think only blog posts and maybe forum posts level you up. Oh well, it's not important. All in all, though, it's a pretty cool site, definitely worth checking out.

In other news, it's midterm season! If it weren't, I would've posted a Christmas blog by now. I was delighted with my haul this year; a GameCube, four games (SSX Tricky, Soul Calibur 2, Super Smash Bros. Melee, and Super Monkey Ball 2), and an iPod nano (3 gigabytes). Oh, and some toffees. No socks, thank goodness. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to play the GameCube much because we have midterms next week. Every day I've been doing at least an hour of studying for each subject. However, a friend of mine is having a party next Saturday to celebrate the end of the midterms. So there is a light at the end of the tunnel, after all (especially because he has a Wii).

Also, I'm glad TV.com has finally caught up with the other 3 sites and now allows us to customize our own icons. Fun fun! Well, I hope everyone has a good weekend, because I'll be stuck inside studying. Oh well, it'll be worth it to ace them all...hopefully...

Filmspot is great! I have been on it more than tv.com in the last month or so.

Poor you, having exams right now. My uni doesn't go back until the end of February (three month breaks rule so much!) Hope you do well though, exams always suck regardless of how well prepared you are. I have terrible memories of certain people going out of their way to show me how much of an idiot I am after the test by saying the answers to all the questions I didn't know.

Ooh, that stinks. Wait--you get a 3 month break??? Lucky!!

My midterms won't be that bad, though, because you pass as long as you get a 60 or higher (not too difficult).

Never been to Filmspot. I should try it out. Nice to hear you are enjoying being there.

Good to hear you got a new GC.

Yeah Filmspot does seem pretty cool.

Posted 01/25/2007 4:00am

Fallout_Girl

Yeah, it is. I wonder if they'll put a link to it in our profiles like they do for GameSpot and MP3.com...?

Horus1527

I'm sure they will once they test out all of the bugs.

Posted 01/25/2007 6:47pm

Fallout_Girl

Yeah, I guess so. Speaking of bugs, there have been some pretty wacky ones lately...

The Filmspot link is finally linked the other CNET profiles, seems to coincide with the new community staff person for both Filmspot and TV.com, jaxiecracks...

And of course, with all the new features, bugs...
