Re: Another section of the GSHI

[Lazy Bastard]

In the near future, we'll be adding a section to the main site; a reviews section. Reeben, a new GSHI member, will be heading it up in the beginning, writing reviews for games and movies, and perhaps even other things. If anyone wants to contribute, that's awesome; write up a review on any game or movie, new or old (or even something related to gaming or the movie industry - if a device comes out, or whatever).

Anyway, look for it coming up, everyone.

And keep telling people about the GSHI - when things really get hot again, I have no doubt in my mind that the GSHI will be larger and more influential than it has ever been.

And I'm in a good mood today, for some reason. Heh.

Re: Another section of the GSHI

Great idea. Now if somebody (probably either munk or I) could come up with a way to add that to the site without having to do hand crafted html as usual... It would probably speed things up...

[Lazy Bastard]

Re: Another section of the GSHI

Indeed. When's the last time you talked to Munk?

Re: Another section of the GSHI

Well, I'm not really sure. I'd guess a couple of months, but I can't say if that's right or not...

Re: Another section of the GSHI

Hmm. I hope he's around for the unveiling of the first GSHI Mart, heh. You know, I think any device release by us would bring about 100 familiar faces back to the fold...

I have to say, I LOVE this idea and the new section (err heh whenever it gets out. Not to worry blahhhh I am all to aware at how we all are about not having time in the world, but still, a great idea I love anyway, now if I, myself can just get/find or somehow create some time to write up all types of reviews...)

I'd really like to 'review' alot of things, I can think of years of things right now, (years because blahhh heh that is about as long as it will take to review) I always read game mags and read reviews and all types and always thought "What gives them the right to tell me what is good and what is bad"

Now I mean well, we do and will have to realise, we all have our own personal likes and dislikes, thus anyone, anyone who writes/types a review of anything is always going to imput personal opinions. I mean yes as I said reviews are good and a great thing, but we all will have to agree that 'our' own opinions may not exactly sit with the rest of the world. I am sure we have all read game mag (or any mag) reviews that had an item or game that basically was said to 'suck' yet we found it rather good and entertaining. I mean for sure we all ran into that before. But anyway just saying... any review we as a whole makes may or may not set well with the 'world' but I still like the idea of voicing opinions anyway.

I would love when I get the time, darn it someone GIVE me some time, please????

Re: Another section of the GSHI

Mmmm...

"Ever wanted to play the classics with Amy? Now you can!" Heheh.

Yeah, I've been considering adding a Saves section, ever since PSX Saves went down. I definitely want to get the Reviews section up first, and then we'll figure out how to set up the saves section. Maybe it'll be a "submitted by staff members only" thing.

Reeb should have enough reviews to start the section today or tomorrow, but I've said things like that before, heh.

And sorry for being gone a few days, everyone. I wasn't able to connect to anything for a while, for some reason. That, and I've been bleeding pretty badly internally; they tell me it's most likely either neoplasms (as in, cancer of the gastrointestinal tract) or some kind of chronic inflammatory bowel something or other (apparently like dozens of tiny ulcers in one cluster somewhere in the GI tract), which is permanent but treatable with drugs so that I'll never really have to worry about it. Bleh. If it is one of these two, I'll be out of the military, with more time to work towards the GSHI's future, but less cash, heheh. Either way, it's going to get done.

Re: Another section of the GSHI

Since this is my first real post I would just like to formally say what is up. I'm Reeben or just Reeb. It's actually beer spelled backward. Anyway yeah what Lazy has is no joke. I have the same thing apparently. But I don't know if he has cancer or just the ulcer thing. Regardless it's still really bad and painful at times. Hope you get better. About the reviews section, when you write reviews it really doesn't matter what style you use or what you say. The main thing is that you tell (in your own words) what you thought of the game. Be as blunt as you want with it. Say it was a great game or you thought it sucked balls. Whatever comes to mind. It's the same with reviews of movies and other random stuff. Whatever you want to say about it just say it. Let people know what you think. Your not trying to sell the game and who cares what people say when they read it. If they don't agree then that's there opinion. For example I wrote a review of Spec Ops for the PSX and I trashed it. I hate the game with a passion but some one who reads my review might think it was the greatest game he/she has ever played. We're not writing these to make people happy. We're just telling people what we personally think about each thing we look at. That's all. Well that's all I'm going to blab about for now. Looking forward to seeing what you all have to say about... well stuff when we get the section up.

[Lazy Bastard]

Re: Another section of the GSHI

And might I formally say welcome to more than zero postsdom...

I agree, write however you feel comfortable writing, trash it if you hate it, and don't worry too much about people taking offense (especially the companies responsible, heheh).

I'm tired, but Reeb's finished with writing a few reviews, and I'll upload the nascent Reviews section tomorrow, probably. Hugs, fives, and interesting looks of varied emotion...'night.

Re: Another section of the GSHI

Lazy: Man, that's got to suck. Even though it's almost completely out of character for me to say it, I hope you will be okay and not be fucked up with internal bleeding for a long time.

Well, as soon as I've actually seen some reviews (in old-style static html), I'll have some idea of what to do with a php/mysql thingy for that section. But for all I know, I can't actually do that quite yet...

[Amy]

Re: Another section of the GSHI

Abit off topic here, but...gosh, I hope you and all is well and becomes well, and ends up well Lazy and any and all others.

I spent awhile trying not to reply, because well... bad/sad news is always to me bad/sad news, and the way the world is today, bad/sad news seems to always be out there.... I guess it always was throughout life and history, but as we are young we look more to childhood other then 'life problems'...ahh well I am getting all 'phisposocal' again (I cannot spell sorry) Just wanted to and finally after trying to run from it for the past few days, I know we must look at life, and I do hope and pray all is and will be well with us all.

Personal life and even 'world' life sure is acting up alot as of the past few years...it scares me, both with our own personal issues and tragities as I have had and we all have had and the entire world, with the whole 9/11 stuff, and even now all else that became because of that....

*sighes* anyway, sorry for this but I just wanted to say I do hope and pray all of us are well and will be well for a long long time, our whole lives in fact, and I pretty much am not the right person to say much either, after all, I am all about all over people alot of the times I want to rip the spines out of, but.... well as we are all people, I guess we all must have an equal ammount of anger, love, and sadness in us all... or I could just be nuts. (That is sorta poking fun, but yeah I am nuts, not poking fun at the situation...just well blahhh I like happy message boards to get away from life problems. I know I am strange, I want all to be 'happy' and yet I just have to know if everyone is doing okay, yet when something no so good happens, it makes us all sad...yet we still want to and need to know about it.... ummm I type too much

Re: Another section of the GSHI

Well, thx @ Liquid and Amy;

Yeah, hopefully everything'll go well, all around.

I'm really getting impatient about not being able to start the GSHI right now...heh. I still haven't talked to the Sony reps again, and I need to look at government (small business) loans and benefits. I've been swamped for the most lately, but little by little, I continue to work and prepare. My main concern is if I'll have a staff at all by the time the GSHI gets into motion; I really, really can't do it without you guys. I mean, I could start the business, and I'm sure I'd make a profit, and probably do quite well, but as far as dominating the market...that's pretty dependant on the fact that we've got such a damn all-star staff.

Well, I'm out for the night.

Re: Another section of the GSHI

Little by Little is how life is Lazy, or at elast should be, I think... I mean after all, gosh now it seems like time moves by so fats so now is (not just for myself, but in these days and times as we see everything everywhere) is time to just take it little by little. I know we are all excited, but that is how good things go, all excited, but we have to wait and prepare for them properly. So do not feel rushed, I mean no lie, I wish things were well underway right now to, but as is life, gotta take each day and enjoy each day, each second of life we have. (Okay enough preaching) Just saying, all is good, and I wish and hope all is good and going good and while lazy gets things together... I think well, maybe it is time for a small roll call around?

So I guess you see it turns for taking one day at a time to "I gotta wonder and be scared as t where everyone is and why they are not around here anymore it seems" But sorta half and half that is and was my point, err sorta... which is, in english, ummm maybe a time for a small roll call?

Well, Lazy is here, LMZ is here, Helder is here, err I seen a post by CzarDragon (if that is 'our' Czar over at GSCCC.com but was dated May, but that was just 2 weeks ago, so I would assume he is 'alive' err somewhere. Others are well...I do not know, been missing in action for awhile now, thus another reason for 'roll call' time I'd say.

Also, I do admit, at times, I do spy (as many of you do me as well) I see people on here but not posting, yes I am guilty of that as well, and nothign at all wrong with that at all, just also, I guess I am also waving the flag saying I am here also.

Re: Another section of the GSHI

After checking, I'm certain that's really the real Czar over at GSCCC. I believe SephiRon, DarkSerge, and Absolute_Empty still show up in chat every once and a while, but I'm not sure anymore, since I'm pretty much never there recently (for various reasons, aside from that there's rarely anyone in there...). I'm sure there's probably some other people around here and there that are either not hanging around or lurking in the shadows...

Re: Another section of the GSHI

I try to stay in chat several hours a day, although the last five or so days have been taken up giving classes on the new weapons system (from colonels up to the division commander), and beforehand becoming proficient on it myself, heh. I lost the power cord for my laptop in a room toss caused by my crap roomate leaving a mess around...damn, I gotta get out of the barracks...anyway, so I need to go buy another one, on Tuesday at the earliest. Until then, we're taking turns on his cord, so I'll be in and out of chat, most likely.
