PixlBit

The ability to build a group would be nice. I had mentioned to another pixlbit member about doing a Insomnia group. Not the game company but the condition.

Groups is something I've been jockying around with Nick a bit, so don't be surprised if that's something that eventually rolls out.

Sounds like you need some strong sleep medicine rook lol!!!

LOL. yea, I was on some but that is a long story. Finally back on some the past two days that does not seem to be working.

And I for some reason am only on pixlbit after 1am so I'd join that club!

Well personally im ecstatic that mr anonymous cant attack our staff or community i cant put into words how mad i was at this user coming here with that mess, with that said a community center is a fantastic idea since alit of us just come on to yap about everything not just blogs or reveiws, i think something like a chat room but maybe mix it up not sure how to do it but maybe a way we can talk without having to post blogs but a community center is a awesome idea and im sure you guys will make it great whatever yall decide as long as i can still post my reveiws and blogs im down lol!! And like Homelessrook said maybe have it where we can make clubs like the ps3 or music, or 360 well you get the point.

We certainly wouldn't take the ability to post your blogs - that's one of the greatest things about our community!  We'll actually be finding better ways to highlight these blogs as part of this Community Center.

Yea that would be cool i like that idea :~)

1UP used to post user blogs on the front page like regular editors. There was a user blog tab or top commented blog, or top rated blog etc. What's hot on Pixlbit right now etc.

I'm working out some ideas in my head. I'll let you know though as soon as I get something solidified and reasonable accomplished within my feeble mind. lol

How about a strategy guide page starring yargz with DarkSouls lol!!! And by the way i haven't seen nothing yet on YouTube your falling behind lol!!!

it'd be nice to have a wall we could post little things on and people could comment on, with a character limit, kind of like a facebook/twitter thing that people could just post links or little comments or updates on, because sometimes I want to share little things with people here but not enough to blog about it, like links, or images, or some small gaming thought I have.  that would be nice. 

Thats actually a real good idea (i like it ) 

I wouldn't mind having a game club. We could build a club around certain games like Animal Crossing. That way if you are new to AC, you can just catch up to Q&A we might have had in that group. A group for JRPGs,  Demon Souls, etc. We could upload screen shots, or youtube videos etc. Maybe an art forum so we can upload photoshop art or something like that. I wouldn't mind having blogging tools for editorial or reviews like the main site editors to make them look nice.

It's a good idea,Jesse. Most people who take the effort to make an account really want to participate in the community in a positive way.

Sadly anonymous replies is kind of like giving people the option to thumbs up and thumbs down. Aka, it's an avenue for trolls to come out of the woodwork and shit on everything akin to cockroaches.

and that review wasn't even that bad. It was like a 4/5 which is like a 90 or A-. Either way according to the review it is still a must buy game. So weird? Just cuz it wasn't 5/5? WTF?

I know,man...I know. There was not a single decent reason for anyone to rage over Julian's review. Telling him he shouldn't right reviews professionally just because he gave LOU a 4 out of 5?? That takes a certain breed of zealous fan-boy stupidity.

 Think that's awful though? Watch Raychul Moore's review of Dragon's Dogma on youtube then read the replies. The fan-boys went nuts. Granted, Ray & I have different opinions on DD but she didn't deserve the flak she got merely for voicing her own opinion.

I think her condescending tone was what warranted the responses. Had it been a guy with the same tone, he would have received the same angry comments. I would say the game is divisive. You either love it or hate it. I for one loved the open world and combat, pawn system and wierd dark themes. There are more positive than negatives for me, so I loved the game. I never used portals or warping except maybe once or twice. I feel like getting caught at night during walks is a big part of the game, so easily warping back and forth would ruin that. Having more warps available end game would be nice, but you should have enough money to buy warp pebbles or whatever from the dealer that sells them. I think I am a fanboy. I want to rage on her youtube channel too. 

Nah i want Julian to do a reveiw so i cant go off on him lol!!!!

I don't agree with Ray personally. So far I'm loving DD and that's without having bought a single warp crystal. 

  To me she doesn't sound condescending, she just sounds annoyed at the game. I think each of us has been there before. Aka, hating a game our friends all loved.

  It's sad in geek culture disliking a particular game can get death & veiled rape threats directed at a reviewer. (Or them being called "fake" for having different tastes) Aren't we all individuals? Last time I checked we were not the hive-minded borg collective. Just saying. lol.

Awesome.  Glad to get rid of Anon.  As you said, some Anon people did add something constructive, but it seemed more were trolls.  If someone finds something they really like and want to participate, it is easy to setup an account.  Maybe they will stick around too.

I'd love some forums so we can atleast have some gaming discussions. I mean blogs are fine but would be cool to have forums to keep the place booming. Plus a rank system to go with the forums. And does Pixlbit have a Mario Kart 7 Community? If not I'd offer some assistance.

I'd like a forum, too. =) I'd help moderate it for free.

Yea but forums are so common they said they want something different and thinking outside the box, although im not against forums, i just think it should be something different that other sites dont have.

Forums may or may not happen. If they do, they likely won't be exactly as you've seen them in the past. In my experience they often become their own "section," cleanly segmented off from the rest of the site and often the community. I definitely don't want to see our community fragmented like that. I think that there's likely a way to do forums to make them a bit more cohesive, but I'm not 100% sure what that's going to look like yet.

Gets a plus vote from me, if you guys at pixlbit were members of the mafia I could understand the need to use a 'witness protection' approach to commentary but other wise it would just encourage 'feeding of the trolls'

my local news website used to let you post comments anonymously, it was one of the most deplorable cesspools of negativity I've ever seen. They finally decided to make you use facebook to post comments and suddenly everyone was pleasant as pie. So yeah, this was a good thing.

The best is when those facebook comment sections do get ugly. You can't help but read things with people's actual names on there and wonder what their boss/mom/children must think of them now. 

I never liked those analogous comments. I think that comments should be different and..... oh anonymous, never mind. 

Seriously though if someone wants to comment on this site they should have a frikkin' account. When that spineless piece of crap went after Julian for not praying at the altar of TLOU I actually lost it and wrote several scathing replies questioning his parentage among other things but then realized he wasn't worth it.

By "he" I mean the anonymous dipstick, not Julian. :)

I'm with the above posters on a forum. I'd love to see groups too- maybe even a little live chat applet?

Groups=yes! Forums=no. Seems like we interact pretty well here without them. Great job on sending the trolls back under their bridges. You know they are plotting a return!
