My Gaming blog

in Off-Topic
Hi, I know I will probably be ignored, mostly because this is my second/third post here, but I would like to ask you some help: I am an journalist-in-learning (a university in Poland, a field of study called "Journalism and social communication") and I created a blog in which I will write in english about games and anything gamish in nature. I would ask for help in two ways:
1) Just come in time to time and give me some constructive feedback on what and how I wrote. Also, comment on my english, it's not my main language, as you can see.
2) Give me some ideas on future articles.

Any help will be very much appreciated. The address of the blog is http://gamingbyyeti.blogspot.com/

Pretty please, I will give you a cookie for help (or some leftover steam keys the next time I will have some :< )

    I'm in!
    PS: Why are you called Yeti?
  • JasiekJasiek Member Posts: 30
    Good to know, good to have some readers. Do hesitate to spam me with any feedback you came up with. Ideas for articles also happily sought out.

    Why Yeti? Because I was once HUGE, and I love snow. And even some time ago, I saw with my GF (she made the yeti in the blog header, btw.) Rise Of The Guardians and she said that sometimes I act the same as the Yeti's there XD''''

    Good to hear that... I hope more ppl will come along, and give me some ideas :D

    Since you are here, my faithful (muahahaha) readers, what should I do next: an BG:EE review, or an look into some interesting indie games?
  • JasiekJasiek Member Posts: 30
    Reviews are a nutshell (especially when you learn how should a good review look), so I will make one in the next week, now making a small txt about indie games

    Nice work on the blog! I'm enjoying it so far =) I'll leave you some feedback in a comment on one of your posts, definitely looking forward to hearing about some indie games-I've been really interested in them
    recently.

    A slight update to my blog has came :D Sorry for the link, but I just got an info that won't be getting any scholarship this year, because my $W%$%^#%# university is poor :/http://adf.ly/Fvs1n You can always just watch my blog, you will avoid the ads that way...

    Will do an RO 2 review/first impressions as soon as it will work for me. Until that, I will work on a next indie game spotlight.

    Left a comment on your first indie game spotlight. I'm not too sure how to follow you on google plus, but I followed your blog through blogger =)
    No idea about the android thing though, sorry
  • JasiekJasiek Member Posts: 30

    I just noticed this thread, and I, too, have a blog of my own for the books I read: ladyrhian.blogspot.com. The Blog is called "Deep Thoughts" (named before it became a book blog) and I have two others I don't post in any more, one called "The Sims of Strangetown" (about my personal Sims 2 game set in Strangetown) and another for a Web Challenge my employing library started. I never quite finished it, and I honestly never will (the last two steps were signing up for Facebook (ugh, no, I get enough Spam as it is) and Twitter (see previous).

    Incidentally, "Deep Thoughts" was taken from HHGTG, the name of the computer that worked out the answer to the ultimate question of Life, the Universe and Everything (42). And as I said in my first post, my thoughts aren't always deep, but there you go... I'll be glad to look over your site, @Jasiek.

    Okay, read it. It looks fine from an English standpoint. Just one or two minor quibbles (on Project Eternity, you mention their hub city and how it will be like Baldur's Gate, Athkatla, Kirkwall or "along those ropes". I'd suggest changing it to "lines" instead of "ropes", as "lines" is more in the idiom you are using in English). The other is the comma rather than a dot/period in numbers. At least in America, we say "4.3 million" (with the "." said as "point", so "Four point three million" rather than "Four comma three million". Only when the entire number is being written out like so... "4,300,000" do we use commas. And I'm not saying it's wrong, that's why I called them quibbles rather than mistakes. I know Europe does it differently, just like some countries add a crossbar to the middle of the 7. Other than that, it's excellent.

    Good to hear that, stay tuned for more of my writing. Now I am going to have a VERY boring lecture at college, and I hope your blog will save my mind from dying :D
  • LadyRhianLadyRhian Member Posts: 14,694
    @Jasiek It's a long one. My first post was in 2005, but it didn't become a book blog until 2008.
  • JasiekJasiek Member Posts: 30
    Still, even the older posts look interesting, since I am mad about anime/manga too... xD looks like tons of reading to me :)
  • LadyRhianLadyRhian Member Posts: 14,694
    Okay. No problem, then. :)
