yeah. So, new graphics, eh? They're not bad. You moving forward with the consolidation plan, or what?
will it all be under atarilabs, or the nfg.2y.net/games?
I can't really decide what to do. I probably should roll it all together, but the AtariLabs name has always suggested a kind of majesty, a little more style or grace than I'm able to muster consistantly. I feel I'd be squandering it here... On the other hand I have no better ideas for a name, and 'nfg.2y.net' is kinda weak...
I really like nfg.2y.net.
it's not easy to say though...like...I can't say, hey- did you see the new thing up on nfg.2y.net/games?
that's why I always write that 'lawrence' put something new up. that and because the site really is *you* and all.
Also, atari means something much different now...it's been so appropriated, literally even. hmmm. tough call ^_^
neogeoman.com ;)
Why not roll it all into gamesx.com? I like the atarilabs name, but nfg's stuff has little to do with that in any of its forms (classic -> today)
AtariLabs was always supposed to be about deeper exploration of games and all that surrounds them, and I think that's more or less what nfg has been doing, excepting the somewhat unproffesional attitude I've applied to it all. The concept of AtariLabs was something I felt almost immediately that I couldn't live up to, and so it faltered out of my own sense of inadequacy.
I'm very proud of nfg so far, but I don't know that it would live up to the AtariLabs name.
Maybe I should give it to Infogrames. =)
Since when are good video game sites "professional"? F That.
I grasp the concept, but Atarilabs implies that it's an Atari site (solely). If I ran across your (Atarilabs) site in a search for, let's say Japanese Java Cell Phone Games, I wouldn't click the link simply because of the misleading title. Well, okay, *I* would click the link, but you get my gist.
Why not VGLabs or videogamelabs or something?
yeah, I felt that the atarilabs name was misleading as well, and in fact have not peroused the archives...partially because of it.
So as a result, I don't know what nfg has to live up to...but I do think the name is too specific, as haohmaru said.
nfg feels more down'n dirty, which is a good way for a game opinion site to be, I think.
I think it should be called www.thewrightway.com with this image (http://millartime.com/pix/wright_way.jpg) on the front page. :P
Chris, we're trying to drive traffic TO the site, not AWAY from it. ;)
GameSX seems cool, too.
Say do you have a button (so I can put this in my links)?
