Facepunch Review Discussion: We have absolutely nothing yet edition - General

Sounds like a good idea, im well up for it!

[QUOTE=SGTNAPALM;45848104]So you're gonna punish those who use puns?[/QUOTE] God Dammit.

[QUOTE=Swilly;45846484]Can we just write reviews? I'd rather just write reviews. If people wanna do opinion pieces, that's their prerogative.[/QUOTE] At the end of the day a review is an opinion piece.

This sounds interesting, I'd like to help. I can only do website or graphic stuff, though. I can't write

[QUOTE=Dermock;45848269]At the end of the day a review is an opinion piece.[/QUOTE] they're influenced by opinions but they should strive to be a depiction of something as it is.

[QUOTE=Dermock;45848269]At the end of the day a review is an opinion piece.[/QUOTE] sometimes reviews can be used in a way to promote/advertise. I have to say I enjoy reviews that are more down to earth and from the heart however.

[QUOTE=Swilly;45848089]No. I will not allow puns. I will hurt people who use puns. I hate puns. All my father talks is in fucking puns.[/QUOTE] One day, when you grow up, you'll realise dad jokes are the best thing ever, and you'll start doing them.

[QUOTE=kenji;45848619]One day, when you grow up, you'll realise dad jokes are the best thing ever, and you'll start doing them.[/QUOTE] I already started. But I still hate myself because they're horribly amazing.

We just got a name. The new group is [url]http://steamcommunity.com/groups/PTReview[/url]

I'm interested in taking part in this, I've wanted to start a game review blog for a while but never got around to it :v:

[url]http://jsfiddle.net/f17tjub6/3/embedded/result/[/url] Do with this as you will. I just decided to see what I could make for this in one go. If you actually end up using this I would make a CMS for it.

I don't think we should be calling out places like kotaku by name, at least not overtly.

[QUOTE=SGTNAPALM;45850135]I don't think we should be calling out places like kotaku by name, at least not overtly.[/QUOTE] Exactly. Let's be better than them by being completely professional and doing what we set out to do: review games.

[QUOTE=SGTNAPALM;45850135]I don't think we should be calling out places like kotaku by name, at least not overtly.[/QUOTE] It's a fiddle, it'll never gain SEO traction or anything like that so whatever's written there while design steps & feedback is done won't get us in trouble. Changed it out for iorem ipsum though.

Do we need any sort of graphic design type stuff yet? I'm a bit rusty but I can help, pluss I could use the practice.

I can make anything you draw happen code-wise. I think that the best way of doing things is simply to volunteer what you can then wait as everyone tells you the actual direction you should go in.

I want to review games, but I do suck at writing, I wouldn't want to make you guys just as bad as Kotaku.

i dont know if this has been suggested, but maybe a community ran review site, where others can post reviews?

After that whole debacle with the corruption in gaming journalism, I was hoping something like this would pop up. I mean our community is big enough to attract people to write and we might not be the best at start but we'll get better and just continue to uphold journalistic integrity as we grow

We have an email and tumblr now. [url]http://point-taken-pt.tumblr.com/[/url] The tumblr isn't set up yet of course, but I made it now since there will be a test review in the coming days.

I'm willing to help out with this

I'm willing to donate my computer to backup this site, infrequently of course A diffing system will be very useful to see every changes made to the site, incase someone go rampant and do some censoring or worse, Pendragon incident: [url]http://www.giantbomb.com/profile/permastun/blog/sabotage-and-treachery-why-dota-players-hate-riot-/102580/[/url]

I would like to help! I can do writing, graphic-design, audio and video-editing. I think a podcast would be a cool idea if this get somewhat popular.

I would also be interested in helping by writing and contributing reviews. I have been wanting to do this sort of thing for a while.

[QUOTE=Jackald;45857344]I am on the writing board, so you can look forward to unbiased reviews where I give 10/10 to anything from based nippon (japan to you filthy baka gaijins), and 1/10 to anything written by disgusting gaijin piggus.[/QUOTE] I'm not even mad. Persona 4 is cool.

[B]NO YOU BAKA FUCKING GAIJINS.[/B]

Could someone tell Uzbekistan to Message me either on steam or Facepunch.

When should we try to get the reviews done by? Any limit to how many we can do? [editline]31st August 2014[/editline] And, yeah, I sent my email to Gane.

You have a month to do one review, you can take less if you want. Also the amount of reviews you can do is basically unlimited, but only when you are chosen to do a review and you will at some point, rotation. [editline]1st September 2014[/editline] So far this is what we decided on as an Avatar/Logo/Icon. [img]http://i.imgur.com/JHgDuRz.png[/img] Could we get someone to make this better? Probably have Point Taken as words next to it. [editline]1st September 2014[/editline] With the Font from the top Left. [t]http://i.imgur.com/N1lBedJ.png[/t]

I like the one in brackets the best.
