Sorry for the lack of updates

I found out a few weeks ago that the public computers in the library are having trouble with Blogspot. They are currently running Mozilla Firefox and Epiphany. If anyone has experience in this issue, it would be great if you could comment on this. I'll continue to troubleshoot this and will let everyone know if the problem is resolved.

Back to school again..

I thought I'd finally create a newer post now that school is back in session. So, anything interesting going on? Play any new games?

Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3?

Many of you may have heard this, but the library is currently deciding on which new system we should get. I thought I'd list the pros of each system here.

Xbox 360
pros
-play games like Halo 3 in system link
-Xbox exclusive games like Gears of War
-cheaper

What the libary would probably get:
-ODST
-Gears of War 2 (system link only)
-Left 4 Dead (system link only)
-Death Tank

PS3
pros
-better controller for fighting games
-exclusive games like LittleBigPlanet
-free online

What the Library would probably get:
-LittleBigPlanet
-Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2
-Tekken 6: Bloodline Rebellion
-Warhawk

So, which should we get?

Summer vacation

Now that school's out, what's everyone doing? Played any good games recently? Done something fun (like attending the summer games program on Thursdays) ? Or maybe you've done nothing at all. Just talk about anything here.

E3

Anyone been following E3? Are there any games that you're excited about?

Welcome to the Library's game blog!

As many of you have heard, the Library has created a blog about the game-related activities from the After-School program. This is going to be a place to talk about anything that goes on in the Dona Benicia room, to voice your opinion on different games, and to talk about what kinds of things we want in the After-School Zone.

Here are some guidelines to keep in mind while posting:
Non-compliance of any of these rules can result in an infraction or a ban. More to the point, we will delete any comments that violate these guidelines.

1. No personal attacks! If you have a problem with someone, don't put it on the blog - talk to Phillip about it.

2. Remember that people of all ages will be looking at this, so please avoid images or language that might be considered offensive.

3. Only one account per person. If you are found to have more than one account then all of them may be banned.

4. Do NOT discuss anything illegal. This includes roms, emulation(do not ask for help on obtaining roms or getting them to work), mod chips, pirated games, etc. Also, talking about where or how to do it is prohibited. These posts will be deleted without notice, and/or the violator may be banned.

5. No taunting or flame baiting allowed. This means slight name calling to provoke flame posts after you post. An example of this would be posting on how "Killzone 2 is way better than Halo, and anyone who thinks otherwise, is a moron." That is not allowed.

6. Trolling is classified as sitting on the forums and posting nothing productive. This includes posting with the intention of being insulting towards someone when it's entirely unprovoked. Some people also post with the intention of doing nothing but irritating the mods. That accomplishes nothing and wastes too much bandwidth. Trollers who can't post anything productive will be banned at any time an administrator feels you are abusing the system.

7. Don't derail a topic to talk about what you want to talk about. It's rude and might just land you an infraction. If you have suggestions for something to discuss, send us a message.

8. Do not link to anything that is illegal. This includes copyrighted material in any form. This will result in a ban.

9. No quote pyramids. If you don't know what this means, you're probably not someone who does it. Ask Phillip sometime, if you're interested.

10. Please add your initials or gamertag to your posts, so we know who's posting.

Thanks to shoryuken.com, by the way; we adapted a lot of our rules from there.
