HOLY CRAP~

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?

[NFG]

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...

[exodus]

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 ^_^

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?

[exodus]

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 on the front page.

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)?
