Well here we go with another update of my weekly wiki exploits. Sorry for posting this one late. I actually completely spaced is yesterday as I was playing through Escape Dead Island, which was a huge mistake. The Pages so the theme of this week, and probably the next couple to come was Xbox Live Indie Games. With the service going away I really wanted to make sure as many of these games are in...
Welcome once again to the weekly wiki update. I almost forgot to do this thing this week, but still remembered on Sunday. I am not sure if there is any way to really tell if anyone is still interested in me doing these, but they shall continue on for now anyway. The Pages This week was not nearly as focused on hidden object games as the last few, but there are certainly some more. I actually st...
Welcome everyone to the newest edition of the weekly wiki update. This week should be a much shorter one as my wiki time was significantly less, due to work and Dragon Age: Inquisition. The Pages Started this week off with...you guessed it a hidden object game. This time around it was the page for Nightmares From The Deep: The Cursed Heart . I had previously filled in the page, but this time ar...
Here we go again, another Sunday means it is time for another weekly wiki update. This week should be a much shorter post than last time considering this one actually only covers a week and not many months. The Pages I kept the hidden object train rolling this week starting out with a licensed mobile game in Dexter: Hidden Darkness . I created the page (along with its developer BlooBuzz ), fill...
Welcome ladies and gents to the first weekly wiki update in 6 months. I was having a real problem keeping up with this at the end of the last run, so I decided to just shelve it for a while. Well, I am going to try and give this another go to try and bring a little more attention to the wiki. The Pages So it just so happens that when I decided to bring back the weekly wiki update, I also just s...
Sorry for posting this a little bit late, but with Wrestlemania and some other things I had to do yesterday it totally escaped me that I hadn't yet posted this. The Pages This week I started off with adding an overview to the Butasan page after watching it on the quick look. Next up I corrected the date, added a new cover image, and added more concepts/objects to the ArcheAge page. The game was...
Hey would you look at that, I actually managed to do two of these in a row. This past week I managed to squeeze in a little more than I did last week, but I still would have liked to do some more. The Pages Started out small this week by simply adding an overview header, a little bit of text, and an image to the Arcade Archives franchise page. Next up I added a few Zelda games to the Save File...
Welcome everyone to my tales of working on the Giant Bomb wiki. So it has actually been two weeks since my last "weekly" wiki update, but the thing is I honestly thought I had just done it last week. So other than that I spent the first half of this week barely getting to spend any time at my computer since I was laid up on the couch with pain in every joint in my body. Alright, enough of this...
Here it is, the return of the (probably not so much) long awaited Weekly Wiki Update. The last one of these I did was way back on December 1st 2014. Once the holiday season hit it was one thing after another that was keeping me busy, from work giving me more hours to needing to hit multiple Christmas celebrations to doing work on the house. I did however do some work on the wiki throughout that...
It is time for another Wiki Wiki Update, just a day late. Just as I had predicted I did not get too much wiki editing in this week as the holiday was quite busy. I still did manage to sneak in some here and there however so let us get into it. The Pages This week was mostly about small fixes. I added the game Nerf Arena Blast to the bounce pad concept page as the game does indeed contain them....
Here we are yet again with another Weekly Wiki Update. Sorry for the lack of update last week, but I had back to back almost double work days last weekend so I didn't have the time. The Pages This week I started out by just simply removing italics from the Bionic Commando: Elite Forces page. After that I moved on to do some work on the NBA Jam 99 page, which was just about completely empty befo...
I am doing a quick blog to give away a bunch of extra Steam codes I have laying around in a text file. I will apologize ahead of time if you request something and it doesn't work as it is a notepad file that has gone out of control and sometimes I forget to take one off after I have already sent it. Anyway if there is something you want, let me know and I will send the code/redeem website (Humb...
It's Sunday so you know what that means, time for another Weekly Wiki Update. The Pages So this week was a MUCH less productive in terms of wiki work than last week was. I started the week with mostly small edits, fixing italics here, adding concepts there. I added some basic information and a story section for the Christmas themed GBC game Santa Claus Junior . I then ended up going on to do a...
Hello all and welcome to another edition of the Weekly Wiki Update. The Pages So after last weeks edition I decided to start digging back in to some Game Boy Color games. I started the week off with cleaning up and adding some stuff on the All-Star Baseball 2000 page. I also tried to fill in all of the credits but was met with a bug and lost close to 40 minutes worth of them so I decided to jus...
Do not adjust your sets I am actually posting a Weekly Wiki Update this week. I was pretty busy, and spent some time out of town so I ended up missing the updates. I actually felt pretty bad about missing them, but I just ended up not being able to do them. I left off after the last update with working on some more pinball stuff. I worked on a bunch of empty table pages to add their basic infor...
Hello fellow wiki editors or people with a passing interest in it. This week I ended up doing more than I had done last week, but still did not really fully fill out any pages. I ended up putting some basic information into more empty pages, but this week I also created some more pages. The first page for a game I created this week was for the new Stern Pinball machine based on The Walking Dead...
It is Sunday which means it is weekly wiki update day. This week was another pretty slow week for me when it comes to wiki editing, but I did manage to do some things. This week I ended up adding a few games which I found while out hunting at thrift stores. The first game I bought that was not in the wiki was The Land Before Time: Great Valley Racing Adventure . It is interesting to see another...
Another weekend means another Weekly Wiki Update. So this week I still mostly poked around on completely (or pretty close to) empty pages and tried to put some basic information in and box art and such. There is still a pretty overwhelming amount of pages that have not ever been worked on in the wiki and I have been noticing quite a lot of them seem to be German. With these games I try to fill...
This weeks edition of the Weekly Wiki Update will probably be quite a bit shorter. Between getting some extra surprise hours at work and both Destiny coming out and finishing Dead Rising 3 I did not spend a whole lot of time working on the wiki. This week instead of working on any specific goals I sought out some pages that were pretty much all but barren with no real information and try to giv...
Here we go with another week chronicling the stuff I have been up to in the wiki. I spent the first couple of days working on games from my created list but then for whatever reason stumbled across the page for Super Collapse! And found it to be completely empty. This surprised me quite a bit since I remembered it being a pretty popular game at one point so I decided to fill in a bunch of infor...
This week, or I guess last week was not very productive for me in the wiki. It was however pretty productive in the real world so I guess that is a bonus. With building my deck and my fence out of the way I hope to put some more effort into the wiki in the coming week. I ended up not being able to fill out any pages this week but I did do a lot of random work here and there like filling in some...
Another week means another weekly wiki update. I hit a couple of milestones this week as I ended up passing 300k wiki points and 1600 pages made. Despite making sure I work on the pages that I have created over the years I also ended up jumping around a bit and updating some other pages as well. Sometimes I end up filling in some credits, sometimes the body of the page, and sometimes it was jus...
This week officially marks my first week back to a sane schedule and the return of more time to work on the wiki. So other than the couple of goals I set out to do I did a little bit of unplanned editing as well. I added a bunch of wrestlers that are in WWE SuperCard to that wiki page. I also did a little cleaning up or adding basic info to various pages I ran across. Today (Saturday) I went ou...
So this week even though I still did not have very much time, I made sure to set some aside to do some extra work on the wiki. This is my last week for work being super busy, so very soon I will fully be back in wiki edit mode. So my wife recently acquired a PC compilation that has 20 games that all have some kind of hidden object component to them. She happened to pick a random one to play and...
So I am kicking myself for missing this last week, but to be honest I really did not do anything wiki related last week. I am down to one week left before I really have the time to dig back in and I am excited. No real goals to speak of this week other than the same old Steam Trading Cards , but I did end up randomly putting some work into the balance indicator concept page. I was pretty surpri...
Here we go with another week of updating what I have been up to on the old wiki. Unfortunately I did not get around to being able to accomplish much this week. I am down to having only about 3 weeks left of my busy summer schedule, so I have started getting some ideas together for things I want to start doing. Steam Trading Cards This week had an interesting mix of games that had trading cards...
I bet you thought I was not going to do one of these this week. Well guess what? I did one. Despite this week being even more busy at work I managed to do more wiki work. I ended up filling in some basic overviews and information on some empty pages, worked on the old Steam cards, and some pinball. I noticed this week that I had passed 1500 pages added to the wiki (not counting people pages). I...
Got the old weekly wiki update up a tad late this week, but it is up. I am not about halfway through my crazy summer schedule so I look forward to being able to really dig back into the wiki soon. This week I also got a little side-tracked by playing through Wolfenstein: The New Order on the fourth. This week I did do a little more than the last couple of weeks. I did the usual Steam Trading Ca...
The Weekly Wiki Update is Back! I am back this week after missing last week in which I had to work a bunch, had jury duty, and got sick. I really wanted to put one of these out last week, but the last thing I wanted to do was sit down at my desk in front of the computer. I will try my hardest this next week to get this out on time, especially with it being a three day weekend. Steam Trading Car...
Hey everyone another week means another weekly wiki update from me. I have still been super busy so I still have not been able to really dig in to anything in particular. The craziness of E3 happened and along with it brings craziness to the wiki every year. This year I decided to avoid working on anything that was shown at E3 since it always seems to only lead to duplicate pages or information...
Yes I usually try and get these out on a Friday morning/afternoon, but getting up and heading to work at 5:30 A.M. pretty much prevents this from happening, so it is on Thursday night this week. This week was pretty bare from me in terms of wiki editing. I was expecting to get less done due to work ramping up but I was not expecting work to completely kick my butt. Normally I try to do at least...
Alright here it is, the first week of my much more crazy summer work schedule. I am not sure if I will be able to do much more than smaller edits and fixes and probably keep up with the Steam Trading Cards . I will try however to still do what I can. Goals This week I decided not to give myself any specific goals to meet. I have a few specific goals I really want to work on, but with the time I...
Another Friday means another weekly wiki update. This week is the week of Steam. I actually did not mean to focus on all these PC games, it just kind of happened. Most all of my updates to the wiki this week involved PC games. Goals Steam Mania Apparently I just can’t get enough of adding games because of the Steam cards that I needed to add other Steam games as well. I decided to go through St...
Another Friday means another weekly wiki update. I got kind of a late start to really working on anything this week, but managed to play through some more Game Boy games. I am really enjoying picking a theme for each week and trying to focus on that, but now I have so many ideas I think I need to write them down somewhere. Goals Game Boy So I just could not let these little Game Boy games go an...
Alright so with this being the third week of doing these blogs I am actually confident I can keep this up. So I have been trying to figure out lately how we can really pump this wiki up and get more people working on it. I’ve tried bringing it up as much as possible and tried tweeting it out and such. I figure bringing the wiki tasks back will help somewhat, but does anyone else have any ideas?...
Holy cow I actually managed to do this for a second week in a row?!? I actually went in to this week with a boosted interest in working on pages after last week. I think these blogs are a real motivator when it comes to really focusing down on some objectives. Goals This week I still decided to do some work on the pages that are empty or have no release date, which I will probably be working on...
Alright so this is the first entry in a blog series I am going to attempt to do on a weekly basis. I want to try and sort of chronicle some of what I am doing each week while working on the wiki. I think it will be fun to look back on these later down the road and see what I was doing. Goals Each week I am setting goals for myself to accomplish. As of right now, and the past few weeks I am real...
I am not great at taking what I am feeling and putting it into words, but I am going to give it a shot. The news of Ryans passing hit me like a ton of bricks today while I was on my lunch break at work. I got on my phone to see what was going on at the website that has become the one true staple website for me. When I first read the headline I thought it could not be true, that this was some ki...
So as I have been sitting here toiling away at the wiki, a thought popped into my head. I knew that I had been getting close to reaching 1000 pages I created on the wiki (not counting people for credits), so I decided to go and check the list. Well as it turns out the last page I had created before checking was lucky number 1000. Here is the list of all the pages I created so far. What was that...
So as of 9/18/2011 I have hit a milestone I am very proud of, hitting 100,000 points on the Giant Bomb wiki. I haven't been a member of this site for as long as a lot of the other people around here, but have come to love this website a lot. One of my biggest passions in life is video games, not just playing them but knowing about them, the industry, the people who make them, and the people who...
I am going to try and do one of these blogs somewhat regularly. I am going to choose 5 different video game songs that I love and post them here, they could have a certain theme or just be random songs. Here we go with the five songs this time, Remember these are not in any particular order. 1. Adventures of Batman and Robin - Joker Boss Theme The first time I heard this song it blew me away. T...
So up until now I honestly have not cared one bit about PSN +. I primarily play the Xbox 360 and Live has been all that I needed and I have gladly payed for it for the past 7 years or so. Well recently I moved my Live profile to a USB thumb drive, which then corrupted said profile. So I figure no big deal I will go ahead and delete my profile and recover it. Well silly me going too fast, the sy...
Kid Niki, a weird side scrolling game from my NES past. I remember as a kid I played this game quite a bit. I could always get around two-thirds of the way through the game, but could never finish it. Well my friends as of now I have finally beaten this game, and I will give it a quick review. Kid Niki is a pretty straight forward side scrolling kill the endless waves of enemies until you reach...
