THE SPECIAL EDITION: 5/10/11

That video coverage is jaw-dropping. Amazing work, Jason.

Indeed. Nice work all around, boys.

(I'm picking up that Booker T. for sure!)

Able to access my PM's, so VIDEO GAMES are up and running.  It's a column that keeps giving...until I can get it right.

To that end - I'm getting some stuff from people that say the column is tough to read.  Is there anything anyone can suggest regarding formatting?  Was it better when all of the highlighted releases were together, followed by lists of everything else? Should the images be smaller? I'd love to hear what you guys have to say.

I'd really like to make this a resource people can trust - not just to know what's coming out, but what's worth checking out, and what should be avoided (hence the research into this catalog stuff being dumped to disc with rough, low bitrate transfers).

So seriously, feel free to say whatever you want.

Yeah, I don't see any way that that Echo Bridge release of FORTRESS is widescreen. Hopefully it'll get a Blu soon.

But yeah, the formatting is a little haphazard. I think I prefer all the highlighted releases at the top with the rest of the releases below. Or if youre gonna mix it up, maybe something standard like alphabetical. It's kind of amazing how much shit (and by that, I mean stuff and utter crap) gets released every week.

Thanks for this.  I felt like maybe people were annoyed that thy had to scroll down forever, so I got rid of the highlighted titles-followed-by-lists format.  Sounds like I need to go back to it.

Also - how do you guys feel about trying to find the bargain prices at Target/Best Buy/WalMart? It never seemed to matter to me before, because I knew I'd be making the trips regardless - but maybe it's important to all of you?
 

Also, I wanted to publicly apologize to Brian for not being able to get the game stuff up on time. Won't happen again.

It's cool, dude.  I only refreshed the main page like 200 times and then cried for 10 minutes after.  I'm better now!

I don't mind the scrolling, but seeing where a segment break is is hard.  Maybe make each category's font big as hell?  Or maybe link to parts of the page from the top.  Click "Music: Other" and it snaps you to that segment of the article.

Yeah, something like that needs to be done.  Don't wanna' do pages, but at the very least - the font enlargement is a must.
