Streamers should be able to add streams to the DB

If you’re a streamer, you can now add streams and shit to the database through the Videos section. Simply go to Videos->Your Name->Normalor whatever-> and you should see a new link that says Add Game. This link will allow you to add a new game to your list of games. If you want to add a stream to a game that’s already in your list, click the game in the list, then you will see another new link called “Add Stream”. Simply click that, and enter the date and if you have one Viddler ID to the video.

Important notice, if your date is NOT formatted YYYY-MM-DD exactly, it won’t be accepted. So remember those leading zeroes, like 2011-05-05 would work, but 2011-5-5 wouldn’t.

For now you can’t edit an existing entry, but I will most likely add that functionality later. Post here if you have any questions about this.

Not sure if anyone noticed, but…

I broke the forums last night while I was drunk-coding the site. That’s right, drunk-coding. After I ended the drunk stream I sat around for a bit, then decided to work on the site. Doing some things in the Videos section for streamers like I’ve been talking about. Letting them add streams to the DB and all that.

Well, apparently when I figured I was done with whatever it was I was working on and went to sleep, it also broke the submit button for the forums and other shit. They’re fixed now. You can post in them again.

On a fun note, I couldn’t figure out what I did wrong in that code, because I re-typed the exact same code line for line and it works now. Drunk miracles.

A poll for Mumblebee

Seeing as how he beat Amnesia last night, Mumblebee is now in need of a new game to play. So, here’s what we’re going to do. We’re going to make a poll, see? We’re going to put it at the top of the page so it’s one of the first things you’ll see, see? You’re then going to click on this poll, pick the game you want him to play, and then vote.

See?

Also, I’m working on a revamped videos section that will be layed out similar to how the forums are now. Should be much easier to browse and all that. Later on streamers will be able to update it themselves. Who knows where these updates will take us!

Actually, they’ll take us to the same place we’ve been. So uh, yeah. Go vote on the poll.

Updated forum layout

It should now be about a million times easier to browse and post in threads here. I did math to figure that out. Lots of complex equations. About a million times easier.

So uh, when you click a forum it will load the list of threads next to that. When you click a post it will load the threads next to that. Let us all hope this works and makes people want to post more. Otherwise all of my tireless hours of labor will be for naught!

Yeah, that’s right. Tireless hours of labor. Like giving birth to a baby.

Also, the front page now has a “latest posts”” section that will show the 5 newest posts in the forums. It’s below the twitter feed, a bit out of the way, but uh, who gives a shit. Right guys? Right?”

New poll for Krisper up!

The cool thing about this new news section is how easy it is for me to update it. Just post a thread in the forums and boom, we’ve got news.

Speaking of news, I just put up a poll. You can vote on what game Krisper is going to play next. He seems to have more games than God so you guys will get to see all sorts of new and older games. It’ll work out.

Tales of Vesperia Xbox360
Thor PS3
Suikoden IV PS2
Enslaved PS3

These are your options. The poll should be at the top of the page under the banner, click and go vote!

One of these days I’ll make a better voting system. AJAX and all that cool stuff. Maybe.

Forums now active

They may not look too amazing, but they work. You can register a username and password to reserve your name so that no one else can use it, post threads and reply to other threads. It’s pretty barebones at the moment, but it all works on the main page without any page refreshes. Kind of neat, huh? Also, suggesting a game is back. Go to the General forum and suggest things in the thread for it there.

Things to look out for. If you don’t register an e-mail with your account, I CANNOT get your password back for you. There is currently no way to reset your password automatically or anything like that. I highly recommend that you register an e-mail with your account because of this.

Not sure what else there is to say, but that should be all for now. Please don’t abuse them too much. They’re still a work in progress, but I think they’re doing okay for now.

Oh, and you have to be logged in to create a thread, but you don’t have to be logged in to post replies.

Kuoushi News

So, I have decided to code an AJAX-based news and forum into the site. This doesn’t mean much for you guys except that I will now be able to post site news with more content than a single sentence. You know, like I’ve been doing with Twitter. That isn’t to say that I won’t still be updating Twitter, but we’re just now going to have more to say.

We have a lot to say.

Not really.

Also with this site update, we’re one step closer to having a forum system in place. I’ll be trying to make the forum act almost exactly like the news here, and let you guys create usernames/passwords to login with. For now though, feel free to use whatever username you want. Even blank and let it be Anonymous.

As usual, everything should run AJAX-styled, which means no page refreshing or browsing away from the stream page. Let me know if any links are broken, don’t work, or you get error messages. Shit like that.

Otherwise, enjoy.
