Ever since I debuted this version of fourhman.com (the "red" version), I've been stymied by the division of sections. In previous iterations, I had bounced from having no sections to tons of sections, and I never liked either. Having a list of links seems like an obvious separate page, even if the concept of a link page is so overdone that you couldn't even order it at the worst steakhouse in Montana. That leaves me with card games and video games, which are the only two broad categories that I wanted this site to concentrate on (aside from this opening weblog.)
Unfortunately, I still don't particularly like either's layout. My big problem with card games is that there's very little reason for regular updating, so it always seems old to me. I've been trying to add some more Doomtown content, but that is sporadic at best. Video games is a different story; new content is generally not a problem. But the design was. Plus, it was all hand-coded, which made updating a chore.
But no more. I have integrated the magic of Movable Type into the video games page, making quick additions easy... by me or by anyone I've drafted for occasional reviews. (But, uh, card games will remain kinda lame.)
And, I'm happy to say, that finally includes you. All the Quick Reviews on the video games page allow user comments, so you can agree, disagree, add or argue whatever you'd like. The only downside so far is that there isn't a whole lot of Quick Reviews posted at the moment, but I hope the new ease of entry will make them much more frequent. Don't get too excited, because the whole thing is still in-progress, and I'll be tinkering with the layout formats and archiving structure as we go.
Now we can all bitch loudly. At each other.
