Never heard that meaning before, it is slang for "get" and I am sure most gamers realize this. I am not sure what you mean about the borders.

This site is a very simple site and with all of the php and the actual graphics 2 hours. That is why there are no cssheets etc. I wanted to invest minimal time and still end up with a decent look.

I am not sure where YELLOW will work with my existing "newspaper" look other then in the header.

I'd understand you wanting a game news site to look like a paper, but this?

**Westech** · 02-02-2005, 03:15 PM

I dig it. It's nice, simple, clean, and easy to navigate.

**moonshield** · 02-02-2005, 03:17 PM

personally I think its great, lots of good content. Its all original right?

**Emancipator** · 02-02-2005, 03:20 PM

to each their own, i never expect to please everyone especially with such a simple design.

And poorman yes their is a writer for the site who does all the content. I have an RSS feed I am putting up for people who want to use it on their own gaming sites.

Looks good but it is missing that extra something that MoviesOnline.ca has.

But i'm sure you'll continue to work on it and is looking good so far.

The general feel of it being a big, popular site, maybe?

**Emancipator** · 02-02-2005, 08:20 PM

lol.... well if anyone can do the general feel of a BIG popular site after 2 hours I would love to see it.

Thanks for your comments AndyH I am still mucking with it and will do the same plan as I did with MoviesOnline.

2 hours! Thats impressive

Information architecture its great - easy to read and understand.

When I think of gaming sites I do think of flashy graphics and so on - the demographic of gamers is mainly youngsters and they might be attracted to a flashy colourful site more-so than the newspaper approach in the current appearance?

You've got some great content, so it will make for a great site.

When I think of gaming sites a couple of standouts are -

ive got a new version that I think i showed to westech which is much "flashier"

Paul you hit on exactly what my focus was. Good content, and easy to read. I do disagree with your demographics data though

The reason I did the site is because it fit into my movie site and takes advantage of a stream of traffic I already have. Thanks for your comments paul and those two sites are excellent examples for sure!

Gamers are a huge range. It usually fades away when younger than 7 and older than 55 (My dad still plays Halo 2 on Xbox Live)

**moonshield** · 02-04-2005, 04:28 PM

I don't play games, but then again I have no time. lol.

**James** · 02-04-2005, 11:11 PM

No gamers have time for gaming; they just do it instead of stuff that is much more productive

**Emancipator** · 02-07-2005, 03:03 PM

i spend more time coding games then playing em. Just got a serious traffic spike on the site and dont have a proper stats program running but seems this might be part of it
