Can you post updates to Twitter/Facebook during the down time with any news? and progress?

We are planning (I hope) to embed a CoverItLive thing in the downtime page, so you can chat to our staff who have nothing better to do while we're down, about the new site and new features etc, we'll be giving updates through that, IRC (Please register for that in advance, the IRC registration page will be taken offline too at some point), and probably twitter as well. I believe our twitter feed syncs into Facebook, but don't quote me on that.

I wouldn't say I can't wait or anything, but I hope it'll be good. That thing at the top that budges everything down once a page has loaded is very annoying and will be glad when it's gone.

Well, there's only a few days left for this to be useful but you can minimize the "Latest Forum Posts" (mini-forum-spy) thingy by clicking on the "-" button.

Besides posting racy hot messages in the staff room, and quoting things out of context... yes. :p

If I ship over pounds upon pounds of coffee, would this hasten the upgrade process on Friday? :D

Shipping CPUs to the servers would probably be more helpful, I can sleep through most of it tbh, most of the time is taken up by updating the PMs to Conversations, which is an automated process.

This topic is now closed to further replies.

    • Gears of War: E-Day brings 12-player co-op, smoother traversal mechanics, and more

      Thanks, Sony and Nintendo, you effectively killed platform-agnostic gaming. Long gone are the days when you could wish to play a specific game on whatever platform you were. Now, you have to buy the hardware just to play that single game. What, you're only interested in THAT game and nothing more? Bad luck, suck it and buy our console.

    • "CRAZIER than ever!" Crazy Taxi: World Tour is officially coming soon

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      "CRAZIER than ever!" Crazy Taxi: World Tour is officially coming soon by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Sega announced it is working on bringing back some of its classic franchises in 2023, and while it has taken some time, the company finally gave fans a look at one of these new projects at the Xbox Games Showcase today, which turned out to be a brand-new Crazy Taxi entry. Watch the debut trailer above, which has snippets of gameplay in between the cinematic bits while blasting a track from The Offspring. Dubbed Crazy Taxi World Tour, this installment is aptly being described as being "CRAZIER than ever!" The director behind the original, Kenji Kanno, is helming this new entry as well, which will come with access to five new cities to drive in, competitive multiplayer modes, a vehicle customization system, and more. Axel is returning as a protagonist as well, but this time a mystery driver is offering him the opportunity to take his adventures to the streets in other countries. This will involve Axel chasing down masked villains that have somehow stolen his taxi, which means even more extreme missions and challenges to overcome. "From transporting passengers at top speed to tackling unique side missions and odd jobs across dynamic maps, there are countless ways to drive crazy and rake in big money," says Sega about this new installment after over 20 years. "Perform outrageous drifts, catch insane air, and drive at crazy speeds across five different cities as you work to deliver passengers and complete a variety of missions and challenges." The studio has even confirmed an in-game Arcade Mode that players will be able to access containing the original games for plenty of nostalgic action. Crazy Taxi: World Tour is currently slated to release sometime in 2027 across PC, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and Nintendo Switch 2.

      This and Crazy Taxi are the two games that interested me the most from this showcase.

      Good, because the nonstop chattering from the voices in her head made me quit the second game.
