Joystiq (now with new & improved galleries!)

I thinkkkkk so :-/

The thing is... I have a lot of free time... lately, the work is a little slow... my economy is a little low this days =(

I want to start a blog to earn some extra cash... I spend most of my time in the computer and I want to take advantage of that.

Chris, can you give some tips and advices? Or anyone can help me?

the greatest blog would be one run by a Sony fanboy, a Nintendo one, a 360 one, and a PC elitist...

Ads on your blog will help generate revenue.

At least that's what I hear

You already have a blog. It's called "joystiq.com". You post here non-stop, they just rerouted your checks directly to Nintendo.

Joystiq... please don't redirect my check to Nintendo anymore... send the checks to Laredo, Tx, please... =)

Full name: Fernando Paramo Mares

Address: Nintendoland Av. #64

No, see they're directing it to Nintendo so that the good men at Nintendo can put all of it into a fund to make a giant golden statue of Miyamoto dressed up as Santa Claus with Iwata sitting on his lap. You'll get it sometime in November at the rate your going.

if you can get the sony defense force and the nintendo defense force and all their other equivalents to make a blog, I WILL PAY YOU.
:P

Fernando, go look into adsense. Then after that check in on Anticrawl to keep crawlers at bay.

"the greatest blog would be one run by a Sony fanboy, a Nintendo one, a 360 one, and a PC elitist..."


If they all share an enthusiasm for furry, yaoi and pantsu you just described kotaku except for the 360, Pc fan boys.

Also Fernando I think you would have a better chance partnering with samfish to create a peachchan.org website. Clearly there is a market for it when you consider all the questions he's had pertaining to his hot Peach pictures.

But seriously, I hope you have a great name and "image" in mind for your site. There are so many out there and a great many big sites so getting into the game now may be a little difficult.

Also I was entirely serious about the Anticrawl software and wasn't making some lame joke.

Noshino, that idea interests me greatly.

Perhaps... If you were a Sony or PC elitist... me, you, and fernando could start our own little shindig...

@DemonGSides

Now that I think about it that sounds promising. Add a crazy cynical and a bit arrogant person in there to criticize each side regardless of their personally views because that's their style and they have a wealth of random ass knowledge to throw around and then you have an interesting thing going. Not only would one be getting great news by a colorful cultish clan of consumerists and cynicists, (hopefully just one) they would also be compelled to check in to see what will happen next.

And yes I realize the second sentence sounds like well me (At least I'm not in denial about being cynical douchebag. It isn't because I enjoy getting a rise out of people or that I'm a pessimist, because I'm not. I just find it fun and I usually don't bullshit my statements much either, most of it is based on something specific and true.)

In any case I'd be willing to put my good polish friend Fernando's back against the wall if need be. Actually use to be pretty hard on him until I figured "it" out.

If said site does exist regardless of anyone here being involved there must be a strict rule against the term, "bash" and its use on the internet. Eventually when the site has gained enough support they could begin a Revolution to remove the word (or its internet definition) from our vocabulary unless we are about to attend some live RPG event and plan on stating they are about to physically bash someone in the face with their plus one mace (damn I'm good.)


If that doesn’t work out there is always peachan….

I'm for it. Email me at demongsides@gmail.com

Yarp, Good Jorb.

Coach Z in the horse!

Is that a bad yahtzee impression or are you trying to unconstructivly criticize?

How could it be a bad Yahtzee impression? It's called ZERO PUNCTUATION, not TOO MUCH PUNCTUATION. Doesn't qualify as an impression if it is the polar opposite.

On mouseover on what element?

i click on the gallery i want to see and it pops up just fine. then i click on the picture i want to see, and the new screen opens with the picture stretched too largely. sometimes it flickers back and forth between that picture and an enlarged translucent search box over the black background that shows "JOYSTIQ" text in caps and "Search". As soon as the cursor rolls over the picture IE freezes.

Same here. All I get now is a black coloured mess, and then IE stops responding.
