Ethion, that's an awesome idea.

Is it as easy as simply hooking up on NF for a podcast??  Have a couple set hosts and then special guests, maybe a different clan per week...

*DAMN BL Weekly Roundup

Now if that wouldn't spur some more activity I don't know what would.

Speaking of Civic - has anybody heard about him?

He hasn't been on the forum for 5 days - not sure if Wilma got the best of him or what.

He is still more than likely without power...when Katrina hit here we didn't have power for a week.

Yeah, we lost power around 6AM on Monday and got it back around an hour ago... what a fuckin' terrible week without pretty much any media and internet. I have to catch up on so much now... jeez, lol. So yeah, our house and the car didn't get any damage fortunately, in contradiction to 99% of the rest of South Florida, especially the eastern part. I made lots of pictures from the first days after and will a link once I found the time to put them online.

*back to reading 1001 forums and emails*

P.S.: Blake Buck is a moron and a wannabe journalist/reporter, VERY unprofessional, and I'm saying that as a freelance journalist/reporter with some years of experience. He should finish highschool first... but I'm not gonna get into that further. Roll Eyes IMG has gone steep downhill in the last months... it's too bad that they started to let pretty much everyone write for them, best example being the video reviews and the podcasts. What a fuckin' joke.

I guess there will just have to be some competition to demonstrate the difference.

One, IMG posts 6 stories a day, usually about some indie kiddie games or a Aspyr press release reworded. Besides that you have their bias reviews blabbering on about how great strategy games are and how every FPS sucks. Don't get me started on their PC reports on games... Usually just a random article that fits into the goals of a certain Mac Game company.

I would sit all day and wait for something that could resemble news for mac, but I have academic, work and personal obligations; all of which the IMG staff should spend a bit more time figuring out about. The podcasts should be a clear idea of what IMG stands for. I truly find myself visiting IMG less and less as MacNN, Mac Central, and other popular general mac news sites cover their stories. For game reviews I visit Gamespy/Gamespot/IGN/etc due to the fact you aren't getting this little niche perspective.

IMG just doesn't have any appeal as long as they just sit back waiting for a controversy, meanwhile spewing shit that their reader base doesn't give a damn about. I would urge all of you to read IMG's Stupid Letters to IMG [or whatever it's called] simply to demonstrate how weak IMG's presence is. No site that actually presented themselves in a straight forward, non-tabloid way wouldn't be receiving random emails about such insanity.

While we're on the topic of IMG, their splash screen is absolute garbage. No site that is dedicated to any community, besides the wannabie millionaires club, would run such atrocious ads. IMG Poll section is shitty, as they have run out of gaming related questions! [ex. "What matters more in a job?" come on.] The last time IMG had any sneak preview it was still August. The only FPS to make it to IMG's top 5 reviews ever was MoH:AA... seriously, that's not a worthy game. How many advertisement side bar headers do you need? Three is their lucky number. IMG Pro is just a rip off like GR Premium by taking away some fundamentals of other sites and putting a $ figure to them.

IMG isn't committed to this community. However, let us be thankful that they have started using spell check.

hey guys, I'm really blake buck...

just kidding.

You have valid points mysterio regarding the professionalism of IMG podcasts, but it is informative and entertaining.  However, I didn't agree with stating Civic's name.  About Ads on IMG, it isn't as bad as IGN, Gamespy, they got popup ads, splash ads to view screenshots, its just as bad or worse on PC sites.  The poll section seems out of place, design wise and possible questions.

If you'd like to see IMG improve, post this in their Feedback forum, no other way they will know until you bring it to them, and if you say they ignore there reader base, maybe certain members of IMG forum are biased, but not everyone.
