Monday 11-13-17: Turtles in Injustice, Noctis in Tekken, Outfits in Pokemon Go, and EA Messed Up

Welcome back from the weekend everyone! It’s been a long weekend, and whoo-ey has it been an interesting one. mostly thanks to EA. Here’s whats on tonight’s news:

  • Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are coming to Injustice 2
  • Prince Notcis, the protagonist of Final Fantasy XV, will be coming to Tekken 7
  • Pokemon Go is doing a promotion for the upcoming Pokemon game.
  • EA hits massive controversy regarding microtransactions in Star Wars Battlefront II

The Daily News is Coming Back

After a long couple of weeks without Daily News, the site has been pretty inactive, and I apologize for that. A while ago I detailed my plans for the site changes and as you can see, a lot has changed. Technically speaking I’m not done yet. There remain to be some under-the-hood details I need to iron out, as well as some technical stuff that I need to commission a web designer to fix for me (know someone?).

One thing that will be returning is the Daily News. Starting next Monday (November 13th) there will once again be a post every evening detailing the video game related news of that day, as well as the weekends on Monday posts.

Between my day job and my other writing jobs, finding the time to write long-form content for thelizardrock.com has proven difficult. While the Daily News posts take some time as well, they allow me to provide content daily to the site. I’m excited to be able to return to regular content and I am thankful for everyone’s patience during this time.

See ya Monday,
Branden

 

Site Changes: Here are the details.

I probably should have posted this BEFORE beginning the changes. As you may have noticed, the site format has gone under some changes, and will continue to do so over the next few weeks.

I’ve not been posting the daily updates, and I apologize; I’ve been extra busy lately. As soon as I am able, I will continue to push forward on the changes to the site. Once it’s done, the daily news posts will continue as scheduled.

Here are the changes to expect, in no particular order:

  • New site theme (some formatting still needed, if you’re a web designer, hit me up, I’ll pay)
  • Updated “About” page, “Contact” page, and social media links
  • More social media outlets
  • The “writer’s spotlight” addition

The most notable of these changes is the writer’s spotlight. I am looking to implement a community-driven system where writers can submit articles to me regardless of the topic. If approved, they will appear on the site in the writer’s spotlight section.

The writer will be paid for their feature, and this will hopefully be a weekly installment, complete with a special theme for this section (again, need a web designer). It will still be a while before this idea is implemented, as I need to figure out the logistics of it all. The spotlight features MIGHT contain advertisements, in an effort to help increase what I can pay the contributors. This is all currently up in the air.

If you have any questions or comments, check out my Contact Me page.

I appreciate those who read and visit the site as often as they do, and for your patience during this messy site renovation. If you want notifications when things begin to go back up, I suggest following my Twitter, which posts when I update.

Thanks again,

Branden, site owner
