If you are serious then I can open up a "Board Games". I'm not shitting you. =)
That phrase makes it seem like you have the majority of power on the domain. It's not possible for you to open anything - only I can. ;)
Yes, Uncon, I know. And so does everyone else. Calm yoself.

The wink emote shows I'm being rather light hearted. If I was trying to express anger, I'd be calling you a plonker, but I am not, so all is well.

In all seriousness though, I'm trying to keep the site strictly PC - a few miscellaneous reviews are fair enough - you can be my console guy, but try to stick with one console until we have a decent amount of reviews in that category. (I don't want 1 Xbox, 2 SNES, 3 Genesis, 2 PS2s, and 16 PC reviews, for example).

I'm hoping to eventually get the ratio to somewhat:

10 PC Reviews for every 5 Console Reviews.

Right now, we're lacking in PC reviews - I'm going to write another one tonight or tomorrow.

Or 2 PC Reviews for every 1 Console Review!

No!

10 for every 5! There's a difference!

Haha.

-.-

Those are just impossible terms. I disagree since my reviews seem to bring in a lot of traffic and seem to be pretty up there in the ratings. If you want I can take them off the site for another one and just review strictly PC games. I'm planning on launching something similar anyway so I could just take those console reviews, pop them in the other site, and continue to review games for your site -- just for PC.

What do you think?

I think if you really cared, you'd write PC games for the site to help Unconscious, rather than use his site to host your alternate platform reviews so you can host them on your own site later :P

In all fairness, only the  Yu Yu Hakusho Gaiden, and Doom 32X reviews are up in the popular section - the rest are PC related.

It's my opinion, that regarding consoles, for now, we should only review the popular games (Like your Zelda review), whilst for PC, review every game that we've played.

Sorry for the short post - I've hurt my finger. :/

That wasn't the plan, the plan was to put as many reviews as I could pump out, regardless of any platform they were for. Having a review site strictly for PC games is...eh, limiting. The point is that there were great games for older consoles too, not just PC games. There is only a select amount of consoles that I would review for. And everyone reviews PC games, so I wanted to mix it up a bit.

...and continue to review games for your site -- just for PC.
Now I'm considering starting another site, as a sister, for console games. I don't think this is such a bad idea, and keep Uncon's for PC reviews. That's what I was saying.

Could you elaborate on how it's so limiting? There are games of all kinds for PC, old and new, of practically every genre imaginable. It would just be nice to have some continuity on a site whose name suggests content related to PC-only reviews.

Now I'm considering starting another site, as a sister, for console games. I don't think this is such a bad idea, and keep Uncon's for PC reviews. That's what I was saying.

Why does it have to be a sister site? Why can't it be standalone?

I still want to help and support Uncon in any way imaginable. Whether it goes down to making it a sister or a completely different site is still up in the air, but I'm not going to ditch a friend like that. I'll figure something out.

It would just be nice to have some continuity ...
There is more PC reviews than console, twice that amount and 90% of the site is PC related. I don't foresee my reviews ever really surpassing the amount in the PC section and there is no console game or system news whatsoever, unless I publish it to let people know about a new review.

If this is causing so much confusion and continuity issues I'll just stop with the console stuff...

That may be the case, currently - but save for the Runescape review, there has been very little PC related articles created lately, as the PC-reviewers have been busy. You're pumping out reviews faster than them - which isn't a bad thing - but pretty soon, I can see console reviews surpassing the PC reviews.

It just doesn't make sense to me.

Then again, it's Chris's site, not mine. He can do what he wants

Haha. If it was Christ's site, I'd bookmark it :P

And I'd really like to see what some of Jesus' favorite games are
