To anyone who is unaware, the steemit team is working on communities. It will be a great addition that will add a lot of direction to this site. I think, with-in the next couple of months, we will see them but I don't work for steemit so it is just a guess. The team said it would be the end of second quarter, which is soon, but like any other tech update, shit happens and delays are possible. But when the feature is ready I will be making one for gaming. What qualifies me? Well besides soloing Lavos with Chrono and beating my share of Ultimate weapons, I beat Battletoads. And that game is a pain in the ass. Fun, but a pain in the ass. Plus I'm super-friendly :). This group will be open to everyone and it will cover the following things:
Retro Posts:
Old game reviews, top 10 characters from Nintendo games, how the power glove made you look cool but didn't work, all fit in this category. There are a lot of us with geeky memories and you might be surprised how many people have similar experiences. You can even upload some old gameplay footage of you kicking ass in Final Fight and share it with us.
Gave Reviews And News:
Xbox, PC, PlayStation, Switch and Mobile. The gaming industry is going strong. If you have played the latest and want to let us know if it worth the price tag, you can post your review here. Make sure it is at least 500 words. How is the new Zelda game? Mario Kart 8 Deluxe? Did you pee yourself when you played Res 7? This is the place to let us know.
Gameplay Tips:
I know this kind of sounds like an antiquated notion, like the protips in your gamepro magazine, but they are as important now as ever. I am thinking more of online games. What does your tier list look like? What character is a good match against whom? Where are the sweet spots on the map? There are a lot of tips and tricks that can improve your online gaming for every game, so share them with us if you are on the top of a leaderboard.
Twitch/esports:
Are you making a living with gaming today? Maybe you are a streamer who plays for fun and entertains or maybe you are the best of the best and are bringing in that sponsorship money. Either way you can share your gameplay footage here and links to your twitch account. This is a good site to compliment your twitch account and if you are a pro gamer maybe you can find someone to practice with or some teammates for your LOL team. These kind of connections might take time before this site is a place for them but you got to start somewhere
If you are interested in joining, please let me know in the comments. I will come back to this post and add you to the group when it is ready. Or invite you, or whatever has to be done :p.
Go gamers
