It's true, this site has lost focus and momentum in the past year. It's largely because we've been busy gamers - in every sense of the term - balancing projects that pay the bills and our desire to play great games such as BioShock Infinite, Dead Island, and Skyrim - against the time and resources needed to maintain this site daily. We also realized that we no longer add much value as a news site, so our name no longer reflects the core that our site has become.
So, as we prepare to enter our 10th year (really! our first post was about Ninja Gaiden on September 22, 2003), we are relaunching as BusyGamerNation.com around the concept of a virtual alliance of busy gamers. Consider this a place where you can share your passions, your experiences, and the things you wish for in your gaming life.
If you want to help, we do need some assistance to help this site realize its potential as a resource and advocate for the busy gamer community.
We need a new logo, so if you're artistically inclined, please contact us. We can't afford to pay, but the person who creates the artwork we choose will get swag-bombed with some very cool stuff we've collected!
Likewise, if you want to contribute stories, we'll consider reviews, opinion articles, and feature stories that help feed or promote the busy gamer community. For reviews, just follow the basic template of our Busy Gamer Reviews. For anything else, almost anything goes. Just pitch us a draft or an idea.
And if you're a web jockey who knows Movable Type (or Wordpress - we'll consider a moving over to another platform if it makes sense), and you want to help us whip our site into shape, we're glad to hear from you too.
Let's build something new, that's never been done, that helps elevate the voice of our commonly overlooked but significant and growing gaming niche. We still want to make a difference - how about you?
In the meantime...
We are not going dark.
- We have some great new content in the works that we plan to start posting later this week!
- We'll soon throw up a temporary new logo and start upgrading and moving the mechanics of the site to BusyGamerNation.com.
- We want to resurrect the podcast with new focus on short reviews and features, much like you can find now in our Best of Busy Gamer Podcast feed.
- We hope to make it easier than ever for you to join and participate in the community.
If you're in, please read our Busy Gamer Manifesto and contact us at icanhelp at busygamernation.com.
