Grump Factory: My "New" Blog

[John Mora]

Hey, Magus, a few other people and myself have started a new blog that's all about entertainment and being critical of what we experience. The first post at the blog explains it in much more detail, but it's basically an all purpose movie/game/anime/music/whatever site for us to complain on. Hopefully I'll be seeing all of you guys in the comments section soon! Also, I'm hoping to get a lot more updates on there soon, now that the school year's drawing to a close. I think a Lumines II review is forthcoming, as well as Magus' opinion on Final Fantasy III. Check back often and give us those precious views!

Definite thumbs up.

Looking forward to see where you guys take it in the future, even as I watch my own personal tastes get bashed down, down, down. Still quality material.


Suggestion for future content: I'd love to see you do a look at Lost. I'd be very curious what would happen if you had to sit down and write a comprehensive review of it.

Re: Grump Factory: My New Blog

Question, are you guys going to do any positive reviews? Or just negative like always.

He already posted a quite favorable review of Hot Fuzz.

Re: Grump Factory: My New Blog

My FFXII review was positive. So yeah, we want positive ones on there, but our name will lose all meaning if all we do is look at the stuff we know we'll like. }:3

Good job on picking wordpress. It's where my blog is as well. And the site is very polish, as far as free blog sites go, anyways.

Re: Grump Factory: My New Blog

That's what I thought, too. Plus it allowed multiple authors, and I was concerned with having updates often and with other points of view than my own.

I hate the preview windows that pops up when you mouse-over the link to read an entire article.

Re: Grump Factory: My New Blog

As far as I know, it's out of my hands. But please, I go through the trouble of linking to things of interest, so please don't dismiss all links outright because of that. {:3

Good, good stuff.

If I were a better writer, I'd love to review movies. Spelling words well is almost the only thing I'm capable of.

You can turn off that preview thing, and I do recommend it. It is a new, useless feature wordpress started just a few months ago. Plus, Valkysas doesn't like it. On your dashboard, go to presentation and then extras and turn it (snap preview) off.

The lame thing was that when wordpress started it, they didn't even notify users. Or at least I never got the memo.

Gotcha. Also, a word to the wise, Firefox doesn't seem to display the alt text I put into each of the pictures in my articles. If you want to see the cute comments I wrote, switch to rendering the page in IE and put your cursor over the pic. :3
