Gaming pic of the Week #14 - Video Game Platforms as Teachers

After our short "vacation", we're back with the Gaming pic of the Week we should have posted last Tuesday. To try and make it up to you, we're posting it as early as we can - in fact, earlier in the day than we ever posted a picture, or an article altogether.

We're back!

In the past week there hasn't been much (visible) activity around here. Even the Gaming pic of the Week that you got used to seeing every Tuesday has been missing.

As I said in a previous post, I have been busy making some changes in the back-end of the blog, changes that now start to reflect in website traffic analytics.

But now we're finally back and things will be more awesome than ever. Don't worry, we'll make the time you spent waiting worth it and we won't just leave the last week be skipped. Instead, we'll post two Gaming pics of the Week the following days, one Tuesday as usually and one some couple of days later or so.

Thank you guys for understanding. Cheers!

Blog update - no poll for October & more news

I made some changes under the hood of the blog in the past few days and more are to come. I also submitted the blog to various Web directories. I really hope that these changes will be reflected in the visitors rate for the following weeks.

I also believe that the poll might cause some problems between the blog and Google's crawler (the thing that jumps from link to link to search the websites), so at least for October there will be no poll.

I am going to spend some time during the following days to make more similar updates and, hopefully soon, I will unleash a big surprise upon you guys.

Thanks for your understanding!

XCOM Lead Game Designer goes Undercover

As you may or may not know, in game development there's two main branches: developers and publishers. The publishers are those who promote and sell the games (to stores and gamers as well), while the developers are those who create the game.

Twitter update - we now have 500 followers!

Great news everyone, we just reached 500 followers on Twitter.

I first announced our Twitter account on this blog on September 1st, so it's only been a little over a month since that time and we already have half a thousand followers. It's been a very rapid progress, things have been going better and faster than I expected.

If things keep evolving this fast, I think it's safe to say that by the beginning of November we would have exceeded the thousand Twitter followers milestone.

If you're not following us, do it now 'cause we'll all #TeamFollowBack. Ka-chow! :D
