Okey, the website is not exactly broken, but the content is. The content is not broken anymore.
On February 6th, some major issue hit GameSpy’s website - specifically, its SQL server. As a result, their stats page is not working anymore; the main stats page haven’t been updated since that day, and the specific game pages […]
I have just finished moving the website, from the old location (on a sub website of mine) to the new one, complete with a domain of its own. Everything seems to be working fine right now, but if you notice something strange, you know what’s going on. I’ll do a few more tests later to […]
This month’s PC Gamer (#170, UK) has the subtitle of “2007: The Future of PC Gaming” and is, according to them, “a preview of what’s to come, what has just been and where we might be going”. And, somewhere in the middle of that all, there’s a small contribution by the Online Gaming Zeitgeist, so […]
I’ve added the Battlefield 2142 mod graphic to the mods by game page. You can see how the new mode (Titan) fares against the default, classic Battlefield flag-capturing mode (Conquest).
There’s a lot happening recently with the online FPS crowd too, specially Red Orchestra’s recent free trial weekend and, last but not least, Steam’s recent day […]
Valve has just announced that their Steam system will start allowing guest passes later this week, still in a closed beta basis. Guest passes work a bit like the free trial weekends, the difference being that an user who owns a game can send a guest pass to a friend at anytime so he can […]
By unleashing the powers of the MySQL, I’ve been finally been able to optimize the script that generates the graphics (it’s now taking about half the time it used to take), so hopefully the daily generation won’t fail again because of execution timeouts. As such, the all mods page has been updated (graphics were about […]
I’ve just deleted over a thousand mods from the database (which used to contain a bit more than three thousand mods).
Listing mods…
1470 mods, where 1042 are trash.
Deleting mods…
Completed everything in 59.991328001022 seconds.
2085 queries.
You see, this was really needed. Due to the ammount of data on my stats database, the time spent when generating graphics is […]
As can be seen on the menu at the top of all pages, a new area called “mods by game” was added to the website just now. This area contains game-specific graphics, showing how the mods for certain specific games perform against each other. That way, it’s easy to follow the post-release success of certain […]
It’s funny that I managed to kept this page for so long without knowing this, but there’s another website that has been generating graphics from GameSpy stats (as this one does) for a very long time. It’s called Gstats2 and hosted on NoFrag.com, a French gaming portal (so the website itself is in French too).
The […]
For a non-First Person Shooter player, it should be pretty hard to understand some of the talk involved on a discussion about FPS titles, since the usage of acronyms instead of game titles is so common. This website is also a culprit at that, often mentioning only a few letters instead of the whole name […]
