Gaming Blogs: Is Nobody Updating?

Muckbeast — Thu, 18 Nov 2010 06:23:17 +0000

I don’t have a lot of room to talk, but over the last few weeks (perhaps months) I’ve noticed that most of the gaming and game developer blogs I have bookmarked are being updated FAR less often.

Are you all seeing the same thing? If not, what blogs do you read on MMOs, game development, etc?

Maybe I should pick up the slack and start posting a lot more often.

Google and Facebook Advertising

Muckbeast — Wed, 04 Aug 2010 20:52:09 +0000

Has anyone here ever used Google or Facebook advertising – preferably for a game, but for anything really? If so, what were your experiences? Did it work well? Any tips for getting the most out of it?

Everything You Ever Wanted to Know about Red Dead Redemption

Muckbeast — Wed, 30 Jun 2010 07:54:29 +0000

Every now and then I like to give a shout out to one of my writers over on Bright Hub when they do something particularly impressive.

Benjamin Sell has put together an incredibly set of guides for Red Dead Redemption. He has personally written a good 40+ mission guides, as well as a number of other general guides as well. If you play this game, then you definitely want to bookmark the main guide. If you don’t play the game, it is still worth checking out:

Ultimate Guide to Red Dead Redemption

And here is one that even the non-console gamers may find at least a bit interesting:

Sex and Nudity in Red Dead Redemption

The game looks pretty awesome, and I love the setting. I think the Old West is a very under utilized gaming setting. From everything I have read, Rockstar did their typical impressive job with th e game. I don’t really agree with the game having an actual ACHIEVEMENT for murdering a nun by tying her to train tracks though.

Have any readers played the game? If so, what do you think?

Benjamin has a couple of great articles at Bright Hub for Nintendo Wii fans. If you have ever wanted to get your Wii online, whether to play multiplayer games with friends or to play free games, you will enjoy these two articles:

The Power of Google: “hottest chick on the internet”

Muckbeast — Tue, 21 Jul 2009 20:41:12 +0000

This is moderately gaming related once you see the picture (below the fold). On Threshold today, we were trying to inspire people to vote for us on various game ranking sites. So as often happens, the discussion turned to “boobies.” I decided to google an inspirational picture, and so I googled “hottest naked chick on the internet” to see what would pop up. The result is *NOT* naked, so it is moderately SFW. But it is definitely suggestive, and it is somewhat gaming related.

Some of the Best Wii Games Out There

The article about games for couples generates some interesting points, so I figured I’d point out a few other articles by the same writer that go into various types of Wii Games:

Plus, the picture from the one about hardcore games cracked me up enormously.

Leveling up your WoW character as training for child rearing?

Muckbeast — Thu, 25 Jun 2009 04:35:51 +0000

One of my writers really outdid himself with this one:

What Level is Your Daughter? The WoW Method for Raising Kids and MMO Characters

So, when I upgrade a piece of equipment and stuff it into the dark recesses of my backpack to be discarded, I can help but think of exchanging a soiled diaper for a refreshingly clean one and tossing it into the diaper pail for later disposal.

This revelation opened the proverbial floodgates to a slew of similar discoveries. It turns out that leveling an MMO character is really quite similar to child rearing in many ways.

Nintendo Wii Motion Plus – Is it ever going to come out?

Muckbeast — Fri, 29 May 2009 10:30:42 +0000

I wrote this article back in September of 2008: Nintendo Wii Motion Plus: What Is It, When Will It Be released, and When Will We Get It? The article has generated more traffic than anything else I’ve written on Bright Hub. It gets at least 1,000 views a month, sometimes 3,000+. Clearly a lot of people are interested in this thing, and yet it still doesn’t seem to be out. And I can’t find up to date information on it!

Is it out yet? Is it still coming out? Are you excited for it? What’s the deal here?
