Since I have gone slightly mad filling in job application forms today I thought I would take my mind off all that and setup a new thread.
One thing I have noticed about this community is that it is pretty damn creative when it comes to videogames, whether its video editing, music or fan art. The problem is there's no central place to find these things because they're hidden away in the forums or in user's blogs that most of the community will never see. If there was one main thread users could go to which linked to blogs containing creative content such as game related music,fanart,mods/minecraft/lbp youtube levels etc that would be pretty cool imo.
The user who had created something (game related of course) would have to put a direct link to their created content so it could easily be put into a table. A volunteer would then filter that link into the correct blog and table. The table would make it very easy for the community to see what other users had created because it would all be in one place. It basically would work the same as my other thread but on a much larger scale.
I know i'm not very good at explaining things so let me give an example:
The Giantbomb Creativity Thread
Main thread links toMusic
Fan Art
Video Edit
Mod Levels
Game scripting
Comment Box
X19
For the music blogI have done a music composition which was influenced by GTA3.
Here is the html link:
<object height="81" width="100%"><param name="movie" value="http://player.soundcloud.com/player.swf?url=http%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Ftracks%2F5966361&secret_token=s-cKbjw&"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed allowscriptaccess="always" height="81" src="http://player.soundcloud.com/player.swf?url=http%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Ftracks%2F5966361&secret_token=s-cKbjw&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="100%"></embed></object><span><a href="http://soundcloud.com/x19/cityscape1-4">Cityscape1.4</a> by <a href="http://soundcloud.com/x19">X19</a></span>
Music Blog
The volunteer who updates the music blog would add the link in to the table. Like this:
| Name | Music |
|---|---|
| X19 |
So thats kind of a rough idea of how it would work. I would need volunteers from the community to update/edit the different blogs(music,fanart etc) as this is to big a task for me to do on my own.
If you think this would be an asset to the Giantbomb Community let me know. I won't go ahead with anything unless I have support and volunteers to help me run it.
Thanks for reading :)
