Giantbomb Forums - CSS Font Color Tweak

Jun 23, 2011

Maybe it's just me, but I find it a bit difficult to see the dark text below a thread title in the forum list (the one telling you the name of the board the thread is posted in), so I decided to do something about it and thought I'd share it here (this applies to the dark theme). Custom stylesheets for websites aren't new, but in case anyone is wondering how to apply an edit like this on a site...

All Licences! (and my lengthy game impressions)

Nov 27, 2010

After playing nothing but Gran Turismo since Wednesday, I figured I could post a short blog about my thoughts on the game so far. Before I get to that though, I thought I'd do a little self-congratulating because I just completed all the licence tests! I had set myself the challenge of doing each test, one by one, without continuing until I got at least a silver ranking in each one. This was a...

I bought a bunch of DS games off eBay...

May 15, 2010

...and decided to share them with you in image-form! (with prices I paid rounded to the nearest £1 attached for the hell of it) So yeah, having barely touched my DS in months since playing Devil Survivor , I decided to add to my collection and buy a whole bunch of games for it over the past month or so. A few of them would be considered "rare" in the sense that you'd find a retailer selling new...

Games, games and... more games!

Dec 4, 2009

As the title suggests, this is a blog about video games. A bunch of them. I bought a PS3 near the end of October and since then I've bought a whole ton of games for it - probably too many. Just to demonstrate how many "too many" actually is, here's a photo of them plonked on my desk (a few new PC and DS games as well). If you can't make them all out from that picture, here's a list of them: Dra...

Finally bought a PS3 - game suggestions?

Oct 29, 2009

I've been wanting to buy a PS3 for a while now and finally got the Slim & Uncharted 2 bundle this week. I paid €199.99 after using some vouchers I'd been holding on to, and they threw in Fifa 10 with the bundle as well. I am primarily a PC gamer, so in almost all cases I will still be buying the PC version of any game I want that comes out. I've ordered Killzone 2 and Valkyria Chronicles, but I...

Completed FEAR 2 - Thoughts

Feb 21, 2009

I just finished up FEAR 2 after roughly 6 or 7 hours of gameplay, and for the most part it was enjoyable - though unfortunately not nearly as much as the original FEAR was for me. The underlying gameplay of FEAR is still intact and as robust as ever and the game does look and sound great but there was a serious lack of challenge to it. I played through it on the hardest difficulty and had no tr...
