FAQ

Here are a few frequently asked questions I’ve received regarding a number of things on this site:

Your site looks weird
This site is optimized for 1280×1024 and larger, not 1024×768. Honestly, we’re living in the age of cell processors and flying cars. Upgrade your monitor past 12″ already.
You might want to try using Firefox as well, since IE7 pretty much sucks.

Can I write about…
Yes! You can write about nearly anything related to video games. Stop asking me for specifics.
The only thing I don’t allow is reviews of porn games. Sorry, gotta keep is classy.

Seriously, give me some ideas.
Fine. Top 5/10 lists are good, reviews of obscure or overlooked titles are good, funny articles are good, etc. Go nuts.

How do I embed videos?
We had a problem for a bit where writers could not embed videos. This should now be fixed, but if you still have problems, try disabling the visual editor (Users > Your Profile > Uncheck “Use the visual editor when writing”).

Hey, I got my third article published and haven’t been paid! I knew you were scamming us!
Whoops, my bad. See, there’s currently over 200 of you writing for me, and sometimes I lose track of things. If I owe you for your articles, email me.

Can I do video reviews?
That depends. What makes your reviews better than the thousands of poorly-done, prepubescent rants on Youtube? If they’re good, I’ll publish them. If not, sorry.

Why haven’t you published my review of *brand new popular game*?
Probably because I received 15 articles on the same topic. When I receive multiple articles on one topic, I’ll pick the best one and publish it. The rest go back with notes. If you send them back to me again, I’ll just delete it.

OMFG why u delete my aritcle u suck
If your article is a complete mess with no trace of rational thought, spelling, or basic grasp of the English language, it will be deleted. Go take some remedial English classes.

I disagree with/am offended by something on this site!
Please contact me immediately so that I may ignore your childish tantrum. Seriously, this is the Internet. Can’t please everybody.
