Both sections run fine here, soon as the video section caches for a split second all good both run at the same speed and my connection is nothing special.

That's brilliant!

It was fixed this morning, it turned out to be the background and also google+!. The background was supposed to be static/fixed and transparent but for some reason it was not even when selected. So a CSS was created and manually entered. Regarding google+ it caused a few laggy issues with that navbar at the top which i've removed and replaced with a far better search bar at the bottom. You can still +1 on google via the badges.

The comment system was also fixed today, hence the new last comments showing up.

Good fun and thanks for the feedback

One major thing i'm looking for at the moment is a good reviewer of both Retro and or Indie Games, someone who can write reviews that fit the style of the blog ( same text, same picture/video size ).

At the start the article cannot be published without me, simply because lets just say my brother who is a training reviewer hits publish way to quickly and sometimes sent out rushed articles to all my viewers, damn you blogspot permissions!. However this is only temporary until i'm happy with the write ups then you're your own publisher

Is anybody else on this forum interested in doing

News Contributions ( Retro or Indie )
Reviews ( Retro or Indie )

must be someone who also checks for the latest stuff or wants to review new or very old games ( amstrad/amiga )

Good morning viewers today we have a big article about Star Citizen/Squadron 42 and the comparisons between the Wing Wommander series and now

Elmer Fudd did the proofreading?

Some nice coloured graphics in those games. I should play them one day.

Don't you start

Amazing how quick someone noticed that lol I noticed it within about 5mins of me posting it and i was like OMG then quickly edited it. But it seems the Ninja's noticed it quicker than i did, but hey it did take me over 2hrs to write

My brain went a bit cufffudled

lilalurl · 19 November 2012, 17:25

I was just sheer coincidence.

I skimmed the article to see if I should keep it to read fully later and noticed that sentence.

It is quite normal to make some mistakes when writing long articles. Even long posts on forums (and even short posts

).
That one was quite funny though.

Atari's Pong - 40 years today!

prowler · 29 November 2012, 22:10

Retro Gamer Issue 104 carried an 8-page "The Story of Pong" feature in its 40th anniversary year.

Additionally, page 103 of that issue contains a review of Graham Humphrey's Blitz Basic Downfall game.
