Site redesign underway

Ah, Springtime!  It’s a time for new beginnings and fresh starts, don’t you think?  I do, and that’s why I decided it was time to update the site’s design.

I’m going to keep screwing around with it until I figure out how to make the blockquotes the right color, and some other things — I want to return to the classic look in essence.  It’s an amazing theme with tons of customization, and so I might fiddle around with a bunch of things over the next week.  Bear with me, it’s all for the better, children.

UPDATE: Is there anyone reading this who’s good at coding?  I fixed some things, then I screwed up something else, of course.  I have a couple of questions, please email me if you know your way around CSS.

Update: MGS2 Review, Part 1 Complete!

The first part of my epic “MGS2 Review” is now 100% complete and ready for presentation.  It will be several pages long, and contain a whole bunch of important material that’s never been discussed on the site before.  I’m excited to be able to present this new analysis in the coming weeks, as I’m sure fans of the series will really appreciate it when they see it.

How many parts will there be?  Oh, looks like there should be SEVEN, not including the introduction or conclusion.  It will be biggest feature on the site when it’s complete!

I plan on releasing each part when I’m close to finishing the next, so here’s hoping part two doesn’t take too long!  And since I’ve decided on the final title for it, I guess I can tease the main banner for it…

Well that’s it for now, I guess I should get back to work!

First draft of MGS2 Review script complete

It’s just the first draft, but I’m quite proud of it.  With a few changes it would be good enough to publish as an article here, but I’ve also got the video to go with it, so now it’s just a matter of editing the script, recording myself, collecting more video, and editing it all together.  I plan to do artwork to use in the video, so there’s that, too.

Google+ page

Most of you probably have a Google+ account but don’t do anything with it.  Well, now you do: swing by our new G+ page and tell me…

  1. Your favorite article on this site
  2. What you think about the future of the Internet and law enforcement
  3. Whether Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance was a good move

Do that, and we’ll be half way to creating a sense of community.  Not that I want a community that much, but hey, maybe you do?  Personally I enjoy the fact that you can simply upload a video.  Maybe that’s where I’ll upload my MGS2 review video when it’s done.

You can follow us on Twitter or blurt something out @meta_gear.  Social media stuff is often a lot more fluff than substance, with people echoing each other and never saying something new, so I don’t really fit in there, but at least I won’t be clogging up your feeds with nonsense right?  Oh, actually, I haven’t said this in a long time, but if you guys have some guest articles or content you want me to feature, let me know.  My email is metagearsolid@gmail.com.

And yeah, I could make custom domain email addresses and not have to use Gmail, but I like it better, so there.  Technology.

Updates and non-updates

You may notice that I’ve added the links to our Twitter, YouTube, and Formspring on the right side of the page.  I’m sure you know what you can do with those.  (Maybe not the Formspring.  That place seems to have died off in popularity already.)

Speaking of, have you guys visited “The Unofficial Site” lately?  I accidentally did today (it happens to the best of us), and I noticed that the most recent update was on February 16 of this year.  That’s 10 months ago.  Reminds me of this obituary I wrote for the site early last year, when it 404′d.

Ah, nostalgia.  The end of a year makes you look back on a lot of things.

Also thought I should give an update on the MGS2 video I’m making: things are looking great.  I’ve got almost all the video I need, familiarized myself with the video editing program, and feel confident enough to write the full script and plan it out.

MGS2 Review Teaser

Yes!  The new idea I hinted at before was an EPIC FULL VIDEO REVIEW of the HD Collection (or at least MGS2 & 3) written and narrated by YOURS TRULY.  Let the above teaser video whet your appetite for the yet-to-actually-begin-production masterpiece that I will unleash!  Now, for some answers to your possible questions: (more…)
