Welcome to PC Game Fun Time
Welcome to PC Game Fun Time, the soon-to-be oft-updated gaming blog dedicated solely to computer gaming. This blog came into existence thanks to the wonderful experience Grokmoo and I had with our previous collaborative venture Supreme Commander Talk, which we wrote for heavily from March 2007 through August 2007. We loved blogging, but unfortunately our love of the actual game the blog was based on faded pretty quickly. Hence we’ve created this blog, which is not focused on any particular computer game and so will have much better longevity. As we move from game to game this blog will follow right along with us.
The most fun part of SupComTalk was the community that sprang up around the blog and we want to keep that vibe going with this one. So please, leave comments anytime you have something worth saying. We love interacting with the community, and we often get our best ideas from you. Bookmark us and keep on checking back regularly, because we’re going to have lots of new content going live as we finish up designing the look of the site and go into full-on writing mode.
And just to give a little background information on who we are: Grokmoo and I met during our Freshman year of college and have been gaming together ever since. After graduating college, we relished all of the additional free time (previously wasted on doing school work and studying) that could be devoted to gaming. We’ve been PC gamers practically our entire lives, and we proclaim PC games to be the purest and most elevated videogames in existence. Videogames were first developed on computers, dammit, and they continue to this day to be at their best on them.

Time for a new blog theme! This one is old and outplayed!

Hey, if you have any suggestions for an overall look (including especially the blog header image), I’m all ears. I’ve only just started coming up with ideas, and it’s not easy. With SupComTalk, the area of coverage was small enough we thought about five seconds, realized we’d use a screenshot, and then I spent 30 minutes making it. But when confronted with the whole of PC gaming — it’s kind of intimidating.
For some reason I’m thinking a keyboard with a very narrow depth of field such that the letter keys WASD are in focus while all the others are blurred. It’s kind of FPS-centric, but at least it pretty uniquely refers to PC gaming versus that rubbish console gaming.

Yup, make that something kind of like this.

By “outplayed” I, of course, meant outdated. Or played out. Either way… brain fart.
Design isn’t my forte, but if given a design I can slap the code together easily.

What’s your stance on community-submitted writing/articles? I wrote a long-ish forum post the other day about the SC2 trilogy thing from a semi-business perspective, and thought I could probably clean it up to become something worth submitting somewhere….

Yes, we’re definitely looking for guest pieces as well as people who might be interested in becoming regular authors. I’m contacting you via email regarding your post. Hopefully the email address you filled in is correct!
