VGR's "30 Days" Discussion - GrooveMan.exe - 05-01-2011
Hello, all you wonderful people!
Thank you for your interest and support for the 30 Days of Gaming! We wouldn't have gotten this far if not for you guys.
This thread is for discussion of the entries that'll be uploaded through the month. These budding writers need support and advice to grow, and your suggestions will definitely help in future. Not up for giving C&C? Discuss their choice of videogame, or share your own pick of the day.
And remember - you can always post your comments on the VGR itself!
You can see today's update here. Watch this space for an archive of all the previous entries.

I hope there's been no problems from people so far.
Also, I think you need a read more tag on the posts.
RE: VGR's "30 Days" Discussion - GrooveMan.exe - 05-01-2011
It's all good man, just a minor formatting thing. Should all be sorted, along with appropriate newsposts 'n stuff. Phew!
RE: VGR's "30 Days" Discussion - TomGuycott - 05-04-2011
I'm disappointed I couldn't get my illustrations up in time (but at the same time I also wish I had more time to work on them. The deadline did give me plenty of time, but work and other things always interfered). I'll post them in the doodle thread later I think, some are fun.
RE: VGR's "30 Days" Discussion - GaryCXJk - 05-04-2011
Meh, at the moment, I don't even care anymore if people spell my username as GaryCXJK.

I'd like to say I had a similar problem, but in reality I just got caught up playing The Sims and forgot about my illustrations until the day I was submitting!
I liked your article, by the way! It was well balanced and informative c:
I have to admit I'm sort of... underwhelmed with some of the submissions though. A couple of the articles basically amount to I LIKE THIS GAME / THIS CHARACTER BECAUSE THEY ARE GOOD without really going into any depth. A few of them come across as pretty childish, in all honesty.
RE: VGR's "30 Days" Discussion - GrooveMan.exe - 05-05-2011
As a side note, I'm leaving the 31st open to bonus/late/assorted submissions. So if you want to still do images and what have you; or if you punked out and missed your deadline, it can still feature.
RE: VGR's "30 Days" Discussion - Asther - 05-05-2011
Days 4 and 5 are great :0 are either of you going to write another?
RE: VGR's "30 Days" Discussion - SKELTON S. SKELETON - 05-05-2011
I actually really wish I could! But sadly, everything is taken already.
RE: VGR's "30 Days" Discussion - PrettyNier - 05-05-2011
oh
i totally missed this
are there any spots open anywhere, i'd like to write something if at all possible

Eh. I had a sign up structure before (which I'm going to try and stick to), but as we've had a number of silent dropouts already (LIKE TODAY. YOU'RE DEAD TO ME, ZETABLAST35.), *cough*, I'm cool with you taking whatever day that has < 3 participants. Choose days that you feel the existing sign up is a weak link.
But yes, I'm quite pleased with a few articles so far. A big thanks to the comitted. =)
RE: VGR's "30 Days" Discussion - SKELTON S. SKELETON - 05-06-2011
pencil me in for
Day 10 (May 10): Game with mechanics you love
Day 16 - A game with ~style~
Day 23 Game you think had the best graphics or art style
Day 29 - A game you thought you wouldn’t like, but ended up loving
Day 26 - Memorable voice acting
RE: VGR's "30 Days" Discussion - GrooveMan.exe - 05-06-2011
Wow; that's very gung-ho of you. All right, I'll keep that in mind.
RE: VGR's "30 Days" Discussion - SKELTON S. SKELETON - 05-06-2011
I'll try for 26 and 29, but don't hold out entirely. there's a comic con in phoenix that i'd like to go to, so if i can i'll have those done early.
