so i finally managed to get all 100 feathers in AC2. I originally found all but 3, but I found 2 last night and the 3rd on wednesday while doing an assassination contract. so i obviously got the auditore cape, and ezio's mother got up, hugged ezio, and said something like "thank you for not forgetting about me and your petruchio."
More than a year ago, I wrote this here in this very blog:
"A few friends and I built a site dedicated to games on the iPhone."
I was referring to a little iPhone gaming site we had built, called Slide To Play. There were four of us back then, with one guy doing the majority of the writing. Our pace was pretty leisurely, releasing a few reviews a week.
It's remained my side project, but over the past year, I've watched something amazing happen. The site started to get traffic. We then started to get some sponsors. Then we were able to get some freelancers, and were able to produce more content. And so on.
Well, the most gratifying event in our site's existence happened just yesterday, thanks to GameSpot. The announcement was made public that GameSpot is now covering mobile games, and editorial content, at least iPhone game reviews, is coming from none other than SlideToPlay!
I'll be honest. When I started building STP, and even after it launched, I didn't have an iPhone and didn't really plan on it. It didn't seem that important; I'm not an editor after all. But just a little exposure to some of the games on the system changed my mind. I got myself an iPhone and have been a believer in its gaming capabilities since! It can handle an intense combat flight sim in the form of FAST to flawless ports of old stand-bys like Myst and The Secret of Monkey Island or ports of great new games like Peggle or completely addictive simple pick-up-and-play games like Flight Control and Harbor Master and everything between.
I was a little skeptcal at first, but I gotta say, it's really hard to put down the iPhone: it doesn't hurt that it's always with me packaged into a phone I'd need all the time anyway.
Regardless, I'd just like to say thanks to GameSpot for giving us an opportunity to expose to a new audience all the cool things you can find on this platform! Keep an open mind and try it out!
Here is what a bunch of us former GameSpotters have been working on.
"Do you have a sledgehammer or a brick handy?"
* "That's right, not even McGyver could fix it."
* "So -- what are you wearing?"
* "Duuuuuude! Bummer!"
* "Looks like you're gonna need some new dilithium crystals, Capt'n."
* "Press 1 for Support. Press 2 if you're with 60 Minutes. Press 3 if you're with the FTC."
* "We can fix this, but you're gonna need a butter knife, a roll of duct tape, and a car battery."
* "In layman's terms, we call that the Hindenburg Effect."
* "Hold on a second... Mom! Timmy's hitting me!"
* "Okay, turn to page 523 in your copy of Dianetics."
* "Please hold for Mr. Gates' attorney."

Im grounded so i wont be on much this week.,
I hope you are woking on this with intense labor GS, if you want to keep your userbase.
I have changed the Portable Gaming Network to the Gaming and Design Network. I wanted to do this so the forum wouldn't be so limited as far as what conversations could go on within it. Also, I did this to help people get more involved in making games, weather they are interested or have been making them already. It's kind of like a link between designers and gamers. Poeple can even submit their games to be downloaded in the download database in the Union. Well, if you want, click the link below and tell me what you guys think of it so far.
Lmao, nothin' special, but nice an' simple. like my logo?
Unions, unions...it's all about the unions!!!
OK, so it's been forever since I posted on my journal...needed to post something new to it for once and don't feel like thinking right now!!
Wizzooott!!
