| OK, folks, I need feedback. I've just re-launched a site I tried
running years ago. I'm giving it another shot, and want to put it out
in a format that is readable and useful. Could you all look at
http://www.gamepatches.info/ and tell me what to improve/change about
it (other than content, which is slowly coming along)?
Thanks,
RagManX

Looks good, easy to navigate, simplistic. The sad thing is I only know one
of the those games. I am really out of the loop...

Me too. My current box is so low-spec now that I don't even bother
torturing myself with the latest games.
Once I upgrade to bleeding edge again, I'll be more interested in what
I can play that justifies the expense.
I've noticed that as the baseline cost of yer average consumer PC
drops the more strange looks you get from people when you tell them
you're contemplating a $500 VPU, when their whole system, monitor
included, was $399.
Once, during my time with Lockheed on the AFRH contract, I was told by
the budget guy, who was a Mac user and just got through outfitting an
art department with new G4's, that I could build a PC for myself,
since the previous admin's PC was woefully slow... Anyway, being he
was still in Mac mode, he told me I could "only" have $2200 to build
my new machine. Hardware only, I'd have to get the OS from another
department.
Aww, man! Only $2200 budgeted for my new box? It'll have to do, I
guess.

Well, I love the notebook look, and the only thing I didn't see
that I would add is an index to help find a patch quicker. A simple
list of the games, with a page of patch links for each?
I'm assuming, of course, that a lot more content is on the way.

More content as time allows, naturally. I'm already 3 days behind on
patch information, so I'll have to catch up tonight at work (yes, my
job requires 30-60 minutes of work each day,so I have lots of spare
time to do this). I'd like to get an index page in, as well, but
haven't figured out how to tie that in to the content system I'm using
(Wordpress). I'll most likely end up having to do an index manually,
which would suck. I'm still looking into that problem.

At my place we get the cheapest E223 (excluding postage of E75 and VAT
over both) Dells, mainly. I have pushed for, and received, RAM upgrades,
though; 512MB is not enough when you regularly have over 20 screens open.
I am fairly well impressed with Dell at the moment. They can be pretty
damn cheap. Their website sucks monkey 'nads, but their products have
good price/performance. And I *love* me the Dell Ultrasharp monitors.

Sweet Jesus. I'd get a friend to ring up some shit worth $2200, pass the
invoice over, get a $300 box, then double the money in a Casino. ;)

Torrents! I hate those wait-in-line file sites, when the publishers should
have deployed a torrent. And not like Blizzard, with a proprietary and
highly-crippled torrent client where you can only run one copy from behind
a router because there's no way to configure the serving ports. But of
course you don't have control over the protocol the publisher uses to make
the patch available. It's just one of my pet peeves about large downloads
in general.
Funny, when I enter "tribes" in the search I don't get any results. ;)

I had not even considered finding torrents for the patches. Since I'm
just getting going, I'm hitting a few of the major download-queue
sites plus a few major gaming news sites for my information. I'll see
if I can find torrents for patches, as well. That's an excellent
suggestion.

Really? I get 42 hits.
