first post of the year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

More penetration!

More biased articles against Sony PS3 and PSP! /nod

Less posts from you, Mister Cole

Just keep being Joystiq! I love you guys and love how you truly capture an astounding amount of things about the gaming scene and throw them all together in an easy to read, clean, organized and stylish way. You guys rock and no matter what you'll be my #1 for all that is gaming and it's culture.

It's like 5am and i'm typing this on my Wii...I don't even know if what I typed made sense...I need sleep.

Well, just keep rocking this series of tubes we call the internet.

Happy New Year!!!

More Sony Bashing.

more wiis....... still cant get one here in canada

Try and land more interviews.

If there's one huge thing that games journalism is lacking, it's the hard-hitting interview. The guys asking the tough questions.

I don't mean this softball stuff like, "Is this going to be exclusive?" I mean, "Hey Sony, it's pretty much common knowledge that you botched the PS3 launch. Why didn't you just wait 6 more months?"

Forward at least 70% of all proceeds to me.

make joystiq more METAL

HAIGUYZ!11 Less fanboi posts about the PS3 PLZ! THX!1 BAI!!111one

god, there are some very rude people commenting here.

Joystiq Resolutions:

1. More professional sounding articles.

2. Get more original interviews and reviews.

3. Get some more interesting columnists like the guys at Engadget and turn comments back on on Faith's articles. It always annoys me that I can't respond to them on here.

4. Less fanboy baiting.

5. Give me a job? (Sorry, I could only think of four.)

I think your new year's resolution should be 1024x768 :-)

More retro!

More interviews. Less Vlad.

Make it the site motto.

my new year resolution is 1024x768, I like it

Avid reader here.

1. Get rid of Vlad (seriously)
2. Comment rating
3. More interviews
4. Joystiq branded swag
5. Less YouTube Videos of crap

Make an article about how we all hate Shagi.

It's a good site and all, but you're missing a few things:

1. Seeing as this is a blog at heart, you should write more about you're opinions on the story, rather than just report it.
2. More humour. Even if it's a really bad pun... seriously.
3. Reporting styles. You should all have your own way of telling an article, that means there's more variation and can be more interesting.
4. You should have more features. For instance, every now and then one of you write something thats personally happened to you about video games, and question why that is. Linked to number 2.
5. Make the "weak"-ly round up more interesting, I usually skip it. Maybe rather than posting the links, write a paragraph briefly explaining it? I dunno...
6. More interesting pictures to capture attention.
7. Pretty colours.

Im done, seems like a just wasted a whole 5 minutes of my life typing those things. Anywho, Joystiq isn't awful, you're just kinda like the ignored middle child with a lazy eye. Do a funny trick and you might get a cookie ;D

Instead of the other damn posts saying what you're doing wrong.
Instead here's a nice one about what you're doing right.

1. My main source for the gaming world
2. A good read
3. Helped me pick the better console this time round. Wii ftw.

Although on a side note. Get Vlad smoking, slip LSD in his beer. Anything to make him a little damn happier!

More 'DIE SONY!!' statement

A) Happy New Year, Bitches!!!
B) As an above commentator noted, the bloggers in question should offer their personal opinion. While I may not actually like everything Vlad says (Shit, I died. Now I have to pay 20 MS pts. "Laughs"), he does offer his opinion. I like that much about him. Oh, his name is fairly bad ass. Come on, like every one of you here hasn't at least once in your life thought "Man, if only my name was Vladimir."
C)Happy New Year, residents of Zyqoun 5 (It's New Year's at 10:00 AM EST).
D)MY FIRST COMMENT!!! 1024x768 FTW !!!!!11!

Drop the trolling pseudo-news posts from "Vladimir Cole."

I think you should polish up the site design a bit... its a little bit boring... make it look sorta futuristic... with special textures and everything.

How about finally moving to the comments system that Engadget employs? The one with the passwords and peer rating of comments? I assumed it was in the works when the comment confirmation emails started giving a password and claiming you could use it so you don't have to wait for the email to confirm and such... but that was months ago.

1. MORE VLADIMIR COLE! I love how he pulls everyones chains and pisses everybody off!
2. Get rid of this bullshit confirmation system, sometimes I type long comments and see the confirmation email never arrived!!!

1. Full screen layout. Seriously, it's 2007 and this is a site for gamers; make the layout like engadget's.
2. More editorials/features.
3. Get a real comment system, none of this confirmation crap.

1. Hard hitting interviews.
2. Personal opinions on stories not just the the newsw report.
3. Personal gaming experiences
4. More Vlad
5. A better comment system because sometimes the e-mail never arrives

Dont be such douches.

Let me not have to go to my email to post comments. Every comment email says "P.S.: For future reference, you may avoid these confirmations by using your e-mail and password:" BUT I CAN'T INPUT MY PASSWORD.

19. Make an article about how we all hate Shagi.

I'm getting quite popular, maybe you should let me do a point counter point artical with Vlad.

Fix the Mobile version of Joystiq to that phones can view comments like these.( I have a PPC-6700, and as soon as Joystiq rolled out with the mobile version I could no longer read viewer comments.)

Even if you click display the full version it will only display the full version of the main page. Not the artical when you click on it, with the comments included.

The inclusion of Engadget's comment system would rock hard-core.

1. Pretend you care
2. Pretend to read this
3. Form an action plan
4. Do nothing
5. Business as usual

I started reading Joystiq in around February or March, but my 2006 was made better because of you guys. This is truly the best site for gaming news, a lot better than the crappy style of individual system pages on IGN, and the Japanese centered Kotaku. I can't tell you how many times you guys have helped me, from convincing me to play games like Psychonauts, and telling me when my Wii has an update. Nevertheless, there are a few things I think can be changed to make this site better.

1. Get rid of the go to your e-mail to confirm a comment system.
2. Comments should be on one page. There is no reason why if there is a post with hundreds of comments I should either constantly scroll down and hit next page, or type in a "/3#comments" on my address bar if I want to look at the 110th post.
3. I think if you want to have opinions you should label it as such. I enjoy articles like the Political Game and Off the Grid knowing that they are editorials. I have no problem with anybody on this site expressing their views, but perhaps it should be labeled under an Opinion tag.
4. This site has way too many articles on hacks. Although some of them are cool, as someone that doesn't really mess with that stuff, it isn't really relevant to me. Maybe you can make a Hacks Fanboy site, and the really cool ones you could put on Joystiq.
5. Spell check more often. I don't like to be the grammar police, and I of course make spelling mistakes as well, but I'm not paid to write.

Maybe more PC stuff. I think a bunch of people put the PS3 money into a new computer.
I do like the volume of articles. Some are hit and miss, but thats ok. Always something to read.

Make spell check a requirement on all comments.

Fix the comments. I don't want to confirm every comment.

P.S. Vlad don't feel bad about all the mean comments directed at you. I thought your realistic arcade idea was very good. Have a cookie. You earned it.

Joystiq rules, but here's my 15cents of suggestions:

1 . Get rid of Cole
2. Make the design a little bit jazzier, it's too vanilla right now.
3. Less YouTube Videos
4 . little bit humor in article (even if it's Sarcastic and Dry)
5. on the comments section, instead of entering a email everything and clicking the activation link to enable it, just add a GIF Code there. it makes posting comments MUCH more easy.

thats all for now ;)

GREATEST IDEA EVER!

On each comment poster there should be a TAB that you can click on so that the site knows you are responding to that poster. By doing so that person will get an E-Mail informing them that a person has responded to their post specifically. Thus by doing so will help further the gaming discussions.
Further deatils would include: By doing so there title to response would say Joe's response to Bob (#4 post) but not include the text to the previous post.

i think joystiq shouldnt change i like this site
