RE: VG Resource's 30 Days of Gaming! - GrooveMan.exe - 03-31-2011
I'm pretty sure I've made this clear. Signups (and you working on your entry) continue throughout April and the entries are posted in May. I would say that it's a lack of clarity on my part, but I've gone to lengths - short of creating a diagram or something equally rediculous - to make that obvious.

Well, I didn't think that it was that clear. :V
Thanks, I guess.
RE: VG Resource's 30 Days of Gaming! - GrooveMan.exe - 04-01-2011
YEAH WELL YOU SMELL.
I'll read through the OP instructions again and see if there's anything I can tweak to make it more obvious, but honestly IDK.

n-no, that'd be wrong. The entire event of writing articles and such is for april to be uploaded in May. I did tweak the OP some to reflect that in the wording.
RE: VG Resource's 30 Days of Gaming! - RétroX - 04-03-2011
Well, I dunno if it changed or not, but reading it again, it seems good.

Um I don't exactly get this could someone help me out?
Oh and another thing this place looks like the World Beyblade Organization

This project has gotten me really excited, and I had a very fulfilling playthrough of one of my favorite games, but the problem is condensing it down to under 1000 words and not overloading it with too many images. I have so much to say about this one. xD
The other ones are a LITTLE bit easier. Sucks that the harder one is first.
RE: VG Resource's 30 Days of Gaming! - GrooveMan.exe - 04-07-2011
The 1000 Word limit isn't an arbitrary restriction. Anything longer than that in terms of online/digital articles, and you're both testing the reader's patience, and eye strain resistance. Keeping articles concise is a pretty important factor for writing for web. Interestingly enough. Things like video reviews or podcasts don't have such long-standing formatting traditions, and don't carry the same kind of eye-strain risks; so the limitations are lesser. Once those methods become a little more saturated, there'll probably be guidelines and restrictions for them too.
Now the project is more underway; I should pick my 3 - I'll do so shortly.

Nope, sorry. Day 8 has been claimed by 3 people and locked. Read the OP again a bit more carefully.
As for the 3 I'm taking:
Day 19 - Favourite Game Setting (MegaMan Battle Network, natch)
Day 24 - Favourite Classic Game (Dragon Warrior Monsters)
Day 28 - Favourite Game Developer (Grasshopper Studios)
Thank you so much you guys for participating; we've almost got at least one entry for every day! You guys better not flake out on us~

Keeping articles concise is a pretty important factor for writing for web.This pretty much applies to any type of writing. If you end up getting too lengthy, you really need to look through your writing and make it shorter. Don't fluff words around because it gets boring.
Example:
"Currently, at this point in time,"
would be better as:
"Now,"
Obviously an exaggeration, but yeah.

I would like to claim a spot for 9, 28, and 30 please.
RE: VG Resource's 30 Days of Gaming! - RadSpyro - 04-18-2011
Sorry if this has been answered, but if we're doing a video - Is there a limit/minimum for length?
