Calling all Community Contributors!

Pedal to the metal seems to be the consensus. And honestly, it deserves it. Tons of love goes into it each week.

As for contributions, I've moved more towards videos for my content lately, but this site lacks the tools for me to upload here. Would that still be up for consideration?

Maybe the SWA could be a starting point for more mod suggestions. Popular ones seem to be freedomfreak, and Charizard1605 last I checked.

I think you might be right. Tbh, as such a polite young man and solid pillar of our community, I think you'd be an OUTSTANDING mod.

:lol

Lel, just gave yourself away

You guys know I would be a just mod and rule SW with an aluminum fist.

... I also know how to effectively troll other trolls, that's gotta count for something.

hehe I reckon I should be a mod >:D

There. I made a community contribution. About a year to make an image like that.

Excellently made OP and thread.

Modest.

This definitely seems like a great idea to refocus on community contributions after the redesign. Out of curiosity, though, are there any plans to bring back an easier method of finding tracked users' blogs beyond the new community posting? That is to say, a similar interface to the sidebar that used to be on each user profile page (before the new design).

@WTA2k5: Plans, yes! Timeframe... not so much. It's one of those "we're worken' on it" things that they keep telling me. But rest assured when it does happen we'll post about it in the GameSpot Blog.

Congratulations on successfully responding to your community without month-long gaps!

Must feel good.

Be nice, Blab.

@Allicrombie: Impossibru! Blab feeds off tears and expells snark.

Fortunately, tears and snark are some of the few things Gamespot has left us...

:\

I know, he never even added me as a friend on 3DS, I had him on my list for months.

Be nice, Blab.

To be fair, he does have a point. I'm just usually in the comments section of the site since they update real time and tend to get hit really really hard.

You want a better community interaction? BRING BACK THE OLD GS (faster, user friendly and stable)!

Not this travesty of a web site. :-(

i actually like the idea of this thread

but the interface keeps me away :(

lol gamespot is dying.

For your consideration, my latest Vlog Review, featuring Playstation All Stars Battle Royale.

http://www.gamespot.com/profile/blog/new-upload-playstation-all-stars-review/26052475/

Still waiting for that mod tag that adobe not so promised me.

Actually that was when GS still had Rangers >.>

@darkspineslayer: Thanks Dark, did you see that your piece got featured? Better still, we're going to be getting a new kind of promotion in the community hub that might have your name on it, literally.

@DigitalDame:

I did figure something was up when I got so many views, and when the analytics said it all came from off site, I put two and two together. Thanks for putting that up.

I'll have to keep an eye out for that feature.

I couldn't watch the whole video, It was cringe worthy X_X

still gave you a view though, so cheers ^_^

Cool. Why not leave a comment with what could be done better?

I was just kidding man, you did great :P

You just have to loosen up a little, that's all :)

Haha, thanks. These are mostly done off the cuff, maybe a few notes, no script. I think I'm getting better about the pauses though.

@darkspineslayer: you don't look anywhere near as psychotic as your posts would suggest.

@Allicrombie: I'm not quite sure how to respond to that...I suppose I'll go with....thanks? :S

What device do you use to record PS3? I'm looking at this.

I think it would record xbone and PS4 after they allow it.

@Heil68:

I don't, to be perfectly honest. Don't have the money or equipment.

You can see the IGN watermark in parts of the video

That does look like a hell of a deal though. I would look into that, but i'll need the MacBook first.

DSS get on skype or something if you need technical help I can definitely help you.

i want to share my recent review of WWE 2k14, any critique or help would be appreciated :)

@The_Last_Ride: The biggest problem I have with it is the lack of proof reading. Typos everywhere, and the occasional odd syntax. I find it helps to write it out in a word processor, then port it over to Gamespot's rather lacking tools. Helps catch typos. Also try reading it aloud, to catch any odd phrasing.

Secondly, it just kind of jumps right in without much of an introduction. You also have next to no outro either. At least to me, it seems abrupt and future reviews might benefit from spending more time on those. As for what a good intro or outro looks like for a sports game, I'm not really the guy to ask. I just think it would benefit from a clear beginning, middle and end.

Next, expand on your points. The reader craves exposition in a review. It's rarely enough to say that something works, or "The gameplay feels good". Why is the gameplay good? What made it better than the last one? It's much better to see "Thanks to A,B and C, the gameplay has a great feel to it and the game is a joy to control".

Lastly, I don't feel you did this, but personally, I rarely feel like visuals are worth more than a footnote, unless they are eye-bleedingly bad. I'll usually lump them in with music and any other presentation stuff near the end, which I think you did well.

Decent overall. Has it's issues, but nothing you couldn't iron out in future work.

The reason for that is that it's not my native language mostly. But thanks for pointing things out :). I will try to improve this and reviews in the future

@The_Last_Ride: Perhaps try to get someone who does natively speak English to read your work. I'm not saying every time, but if I have the time, I would probably read something over if you sent it my way.

that would be awesome, there aren't a lot of people i can send that stuff to
