There are structured topics, but other than that they just chat about rubbish. S'good.

I think any guide should be called that

And as Grimmie quasi-mentioned, I've seen several podcasts that happen over skype and do it fairly well.

I haven't logged on in a bit, so I missed the entirety of the thread, so forgive me if I repeat--but I think embeded videos that we make couldn't be far off as well with the power of the yootoobs

To try it out, it might be worth picking things from one of the news feeds as if there is enough interest in those it should follow on with 5punky articles.

This

It doesn't matter where it is, or what it's called or even how it looks. It's just about content. And if it's new/different/interesting then it'll stand out amongst the crowd, people will link to it and people will come.

Also, break out the Google Adsense on it, and it'll help pay towards the servers. Two or three ad-blocks and roughly 1000 unique hits p/day gives you between £30 and £60 a month depending on click-through.

Really? I generally think something like 'mentals' or NICHOLAS CAGE PUNCHING BEES IN A WOMAN SUIT!'

That's Nicholas Cage in the woman suit, not the bees.

Hey Grimmie, what did that mean?

I was trying to say that it's not that difficult with some half decent articles. God knows my articles are less than half decent.

Not here really.

We have the beginnings of a system in place. Stoat is developing a system where articles are submitted to the wiki under the articles heading. They are then approved by an admin and formatted to a web page article. The wiki can be used for a bit of discussion before publishing, and once ready we should have a nice shiny web-magazine style finished product to tantalise randoms, and each other, with.

So, in order to test it we need a few articles submitted to the wiki. For those who've not used it, it's no more difficult than board formatting, and I expect most people could help with any questions.

Article up on the Wiki for testing.

In theory the process should go:

Write article
Submit to Wiki for mod approval
Publish as HTML
Create discussion thread
...
Profit!

However, this being the first one it probably won't happen that way.

:likesmostofitbuthasafewquestions:

I'm not sure about the AAA title/30 hours SP thing.

CoD4, which is very much an AAA title (and still 30 quid from most places) has about 5-6 hours of SP gameplay. obviously this could be increased with replayability etc, but that depends how you're counting playing time, could something like tetris be considered a 1000 hour game, because you can replay it a lot?
