Most people have been trying to be liked by their environment since they were born. They don’t enjoy the hate they receive from asshats. While this concept doesn’t apply to me (I love retards hating on me), I still understand why a person with low self-esteem wants to be hugged by each and everyone. Unfortunately for them, you can’t act to everybody’s liking but you can appeal to the masses. Let this be an excursus on how to be liked by Gameriot in the comments (aka how to get your comment upvoted).…  More

Dear Gameriot pals,

Twitter is everywhere and it's scaring me.  I think I'm the only one left without a Twitter account, but that doesn't mean I don't get it.  I'm down.  I'm hip.  I've got the 411 and I don't want you kids going out and getting all jiggy with it without my supervision.

So we made the Gameriot Twitter module.  Whoa whoa whoa hold on, don't get too carried away!  To start off with, it's just going to be for site admins to use.  You know, loveable folks like Slapnuts, Sol Invictus, …  More

Simple question, easy answer.

Give this blog a +1 if you want the pink changed on WoWriot's color scheme.  I'd make a poll in the forums, but not as many people would see it.

The Pink is primarily seen on links, in the form of highlighted text or underlines.  It's relatively minor, but people have complained bitterly in the past, and rejoiced thoroughly when I changed it things up on Hellforge.

If you have a suggestion for a substitution, comment away.  We could change the other colors as well, but…  More

Dear GameRiot communities,

You may have noticed the website looks a bit different. Which is to say almost completely different. We've gone from three columns to two. There is a feedback tool bar anchored to the bottom of the page, a new voting system, blog subscriptions, new background art, new modules, and of course the most essential ingredient... you. If you too are feeling new and improved feel free to let us know by trying our fresh new comment section or make a new entry on your blog - or s…  More

Pals,

We will be taking the server down today at 1pm EST to upgrade to version 2.0 of Gameriot. We think you'll really like it. The site has been rebuilt from the ground up to facilitate better trolling, first posting, and Lusitania photoshop's. For those of you in the tl;dr crew:

GAMERIOT DOWN 1PM EST BACK UP SHORTLY.

For those of you wondering why we chose such a mid-day time, we've analyzed your crack-addict-like usage patterns and found that when the WoW servers go back up from patches, you all…  More

Started browsing through Gameriot this morning and took note of Kaex's High School blog which I'm not even going to bother commenting on. What really interested me was Slapnut's comment that blogs like that don't actually help fix anything. So I figured I'd make another blog on how to fix "Gameriot". I'd like to invite commenters to also share their ideas for making a better Gameriot, or hell, make your own blog about it if you think this is a problem that needs to be adressed. So without further ado, some things I'd like to see implemented are:…  More

Just like most grinds, the GR XP system starts off easy, reeling you in with fast level ups and the massive ego boosts they bring. Since attaining level 33 girls have thrown themsleves at me, seas have parted at my feet and Metallica sent me a letter apologising for selling out. If anyone's wondering, that list goes from least likely to happen to most. Anyway, the point is that I want more. But the time investment required is insane. I spend hours at work trolling GR to no avail. I am still level 33. It seems there is no place on GR for blogging casuals like myself; the GR staff cater only to the hardcore bloggers like Vir, TehJerk and Nobbeh. Casuals deserve XP, too.…  More

TL;DR summary: Dudes r mad about Gameriot. Gameriot refuses to change. Dudes get madder.

Hi pals!

Because most of you have no idea whatsoever about the types of things that go on behind this machine of drama, I thought I'd clue you in to a trend:

People love sending us legal notices!

Whether it's slander, defamement, or in this case... "trademark violation," the unknowing public loves to throw legalese our way because of something someone said about their mother.

Today's letter comes concerning a use…  More

Hello Gamerioters! 

For those of you that don't know Gameriot is an in house community platform from Giant Realm.  Giant Realm itself is a publisher group that sells advertising and helps communities grow by providing tools and services.  Over time we will be adding more and more communities to Gameriot to give you all the content you can chew.

My main responsibility is forming partnerships with these sites and communities.  Our publishing partners (publishers we work with th…  More

Firstly, I picked up the 2008 Gamers Edition of the Guinness World Records a few weeks ago, there's really some nice facts in there, and for the fun of it, I'll post one in my blogs for something interesting you can tell your friends and brag about how superior your knowledge base is. If you don't give a damn, just skip the section.

Least Violent FPS:

Dues Ex

It is possible to complete Ion Storm's Dues Ex having only killed 3 enemies. The game is renowned for its open-ended design, which makes it p…  More

Designing websites is hard.

Well I should contextualize that statement a bit.  Designing the next generation Gameriot platform is hard.  Designing websites is easy.

Most people design websites for themselves, or for their company or organization.  They get to control all the variables and add all sorts of personalized touches that make everybody go "ooh, look at that pretty website, it's so pretty".  Well it might be pretty, but they are probably stupid and boring and I hate th…  More

I'd just like to give credit where it's due and at the same time encourage those who don't do this to begin doing so.

Quoting what you are referring to in comments like this, in italics.

It seems so simple, doesn't it?  Ctrl-C, Ctrl-V the text you are replying to, select it and ctrl-I.  Voila, formatting that eases reading, keeps your replies from rambling as much, streamlines your responses, breaks up multiple responses to different parts of someone's writing, etc.

This has caught on all…  More
