Brad's website review: September 2008

from JoeUser Forums

So what do you do during your evenings? Me, I hunt around the various Stardock websites looking for problems. Yea, I have no life.  Our sites and servers are growing and evolving so fast that we often miss things.

Here's what I found tonight... :)

#1 CSS on Demigod journal messed up. Blog post the cause or something else?

#2 The Demigod pre-order page

Well first, we need to standardize on our description of Demigod. 

Demigod is an action RTS. It can be played as part of a team but I would not use team in there.

Second, it's confusing to have on this page that you have to order it directly through Stardock/Impulse when it's on the Demigod page.

 

#3 Coming soon page: Demigod

I'd clean up the language here. While Demigod makes a great team game, players can play 1 on 1 just fine.

 

#4 Coming soon page

Probably should add some other programs to the coming soon page soon like the Sins expansion pack, Fences, and other stuff coming up in the near future.

 

#5 WinCustomize link on various product pages (like CursorFX) should take the user to the proper gallery and not the home page. They should also use the &mode=1 to eliminate the right bar.

Example: https://www.wincustomize.com/skins.aspx?libid=25&mode=1

 

Overall, the websites are looking in very good shape tonight. :)

I sit at my desk eating my dinner and working on my code / reading research papers...so my life isn't too thrilling either.  But hey, I enjoy the stuff I work on even if I get a glazed over bored look when talking to people 80% of the time.


For being a pretty hard-core gamer, I don't really get much time to play games anymore....I'm torn between trying out new games or working on my own code and related things...not enough hours in the day!

Can't edit previous post for some reason...but to add on to what I said...there was a professor who also didn't think there was enough hours in the day and decided he would work off a 36 hour day...that didn't turn out so hot....I believe his circadian cycle was all screwed up after a week or two and was suffering from some depression.

Fixed the CSS issue on the Journals.  A blog post was the culprit.  :)
