What's New Pussycat?
I've gotten some reader responses lately to the tune of "Hey guys, are you still posting?" The easy answer is yes. The explanation isn't. Week after week articles go un-posted, and I won't lie to you, it's all my fault. As editor (founder, writer, etc) I have to keep the quality of posts higher than a lot of other blogs and review sites, so most of the time good posts are given the axe. Whether the reason is timing (Splinter Cell, Vice City Stories and Gears of War's reviews), relevance (no more posts about Brownie Bites, I promise) or coherence (most of our articles are written around 2-6 am), lots of articles never make the front page. But I think keeping those posts off the front page is what keeps readers coming back. If we posted any little thing that came into our heads without a run through QA, we'd compromise the integrity, quality, and professionalism (what little we have) in doing so. And dammit, Janet, we got scruples. Once our time frees up (especially this Holiday season) expect a torrent of activity over here at the good 'ol AFB. We strive to be the last bastion of hope in a world filled with bloggers paid to post, games journalists pandering to their advertisers, and critics who don't want to burn bridges.
Other things to look forward to: "AFB[TV]". The newly revamped streaming video site is being redesigned from the ground up. Channels include game videos, movie trailers, music videos, original and user submitted content. The layout we're working on resembles a cross between the security room at the mall and that white room with all the monitors from the Matrix sequels. Very clean, very organized, with the same look as the homepage. New message boards are also in the works, so don't bother with these. For updates on the big... updates, contact us with the subject line, "AFB Mailing List". We promise not to spam you. Honest Injun.
