A Series of Tubes

In an effort to comment on gamespot’s coverage of the GDC, or lack of coverage with regards to independent games, I created a gamespot login. Apparently in order to actually comment on their website you have to have been a member of their website for at least 3 days or so before you can post in certain places or change your picture or do anything that you would automatically be able to do on a normal website. It is a huge pain.

As you can see I am a rank 2 gamespotter which means that I can browse the website with about as much authority as if I randomly came across the site on the web. I have the title of journeyman because I am currently on a painful journey to be able to post on a website. Eventually I could achieve the rank of “captain able to post stuff” or perhaps “sergeant can now change the picture next to my name”.

I was trying to comment on one of the few articles that I could find about the IGF at the GDC: link to the article here.
