Slashdot Mirror
Announcing Games.slashdot.org
The Slashdot Game Section will function similiarly to the other major sections on Slashdot, like apple.slashdot.org and Ask Slashdot. Visitors to the direct URL will be presented with additional, more focused, topical content. The best stories in the section will be posted to the main page and shared with a more general audience as they always have been. Logged in users can choose to consolidate Games content to the main page.
You'll notice a few things in the game section that are new. Most important is the addition of our newest editor, Simon "Simoniker" Carless. Simon is a sharp guy who has written for a variety of publications, but also is uniquely qualified since he has a history as a game designer for Eidos & Atari. Backing up Simon is the man of many polls himself, Jon "CowboyNeal" Pater. CowboyNeal is an obsessive gamer, having sacrificed his body for years to become a better gamer. We'll all benefit from his efforts in the field of sitting, pressing buttons and eating snacks.
The Slashdot Game Section will cover a variety of game related material. We will not be limited by platform- we intend to cover the major consoles, new and old releases, as well as computing games. We want to cover classic gaming as well as emulation. We intend to provide occasional original coverage, but mostly, we want to provide more exposure to the existing gaming sites, while providing our users with a place to discuss the major gaming news of the day.
Initially content will be found in the overflow from the Slashdot submissions bin. But as the section grows, we expect that readers will use the Games Submissions Bin to submit stories directly to Simoniker and CowboyNeal. You can also contact them directly by emailing games at slashdot dot org.
We've been looking forward to creating this section for a long time, and I hope you will all enjoy reading it as much as we'll enjoy researching stories for it ;)
Perhaps dupes.slashdot.org? For all those other dupes there hasn't been room for on the home page!
Why not make a Microsoft.slashdot.org for all the M$ bashing? Or a Linux.slashdot.org for all the linux lovers (or is that www.slashdot.org)? What about freaking-stupid-legal-system.slashdot.org for all the people that get arrested and/or fined for doing things that shouldn't be illegal in the first place?

Well, whoever this new guy is, he certainly isn't a graphic designer.
hurting my eyes and is causing my brain to cringe...

Slashdot - The one stop shop for procrastination
For years Slashdot has had an abundance of game related content. Unfortunately, we've also had limited space to post those stories
You'd have more room if you'd read your own web site and stop posting so many duplicate stories.
At least what.. 10 references to that site per day? Better to keep them all in one location to save our sanity ;)

The gaming section colour scheme: 1) Hurts my eyes 2) Gives me a nice tan when I view it on my CRT 3) Features a new colour, infra-purple 4) Is even more garish than Barney the dinosaur 5) Clashes with CowboyNeal's underpants
Try loading the page while sufficiently baked, and you'll change your tune...
It's like, I am the purple man.

A section which I can waste more time on and go blind. No wait should this be pr0n.slashdot.org then :P

I expect the Xbox category to be especially fair and objective.
The coolest voice ever.
I really don't see why this hasn't been done earlier and why it's considered such an event. I guess the theme took about 3 minutes to complete, and then I assume - given the color scheme - a blind guy was doing the work.
I have a suggestion for a new URL: How about whineybutt.slashdot.org ? 80% of the posts(Please, don't check the exact percentage and post it...I know you people) are complaints about how the color sucks (hard to defend) or how half the other stories should have thier own pages, as they should *never* have been posted on /.
Congrats /.! Best of luck with your expansion.
OK, we need to establish some ground rules early on. We bash XBox, PS2, Gamecube in that order. And I think we all agree the SNES was the best console ever :)
Everybody denies I am a genius--but nobody ever called me one!
Now I gotta start a new character, run him up to level 60, find a new group of people to guild with.... So much to do...
Maybe with this as a viable public forum, John Romero will finally make good on his promise to make us his bitch. Come on, John-boy, ante up.
News for Blinds. Stuff that dazzle.
So, I've been out of rehab for a week, right? And, I have been, like, gaming and such, right? And so, this morning, I am at the magical number 7, right? I get online, check a few sites, and get to /., right? And I see this games./..org, right? And, I'm like, cool, and so, like, I click on it, right? And, woaaaah. Oh man, relapse!
They stuck me in an institution, said it was the only solution, to...protect me from the enemy, myself
I remember when colors were refered to as "Red", "Blue", "Purple", etc... You make colors sound like they are prison inmates.
I think that as a group we will agree that the Dreamcast was the best console, but whenever put to the question, or defense we will cite the Atari, or a collection of door games as being the true backbone of our civilization.
We will also praise the game civilization.
That is all.

Like duuuuuuuuuudddee! Purple, like, rocks dude! If the old guys don't like it it *must* be cool, dude! Rock on! I'm sooooo cool and, like, even groundbreaking 'cuz I said I like the purple - dude!
I'm, like, sooooo cool, even if I am still a virgin, and like, the only girl who'll look at me is the one on my new XBox game....
My god carries a hammer. Your god died nailed to a tree. Any questions?
hah you told an AC troll to check his facts, welcome to slashdot ;)
