Now that that’s out of the way… Welcome to Super Twilight Lynk!

Okay, it’s just the regular Twilight Lynk and nothing has really changed except for a few small things… I just thought it would be cool to add “Super” to the front of the title to make it sound like “OMG WOW!”…

As you can see, there’s been a change in design though it’s not as drastic as it may look. All I really did was change a few CSS elements and a couple of images and there ya go lol. The site layout is exactly the same as how it’s always been so don’t worry, you won’t get lost. This is just a bit of a cosmetic change… because I felt like it. Along with the redesign I’ve also taken the time to update the software that powers this site as well, though you guys probably don’t care about any of that… just as long as everything runs.

If you have any questions or comment or whatever, let me know. Don’t be afraid to tell me what you want me to do with this place if you guys have any good ideas I’m probably not thinking of…

Thanks, and enjoy!

LucasCast is the official podcast for the LucasArts Fan Network where we talk about LucasArts games and the vidya in general… and I’m in it! Go to the site and listen to it there or download it to your PC and/or mp3 player. Enjoy.

Also, don’t forget to vote on the new poll.

I’ve been working on the site design for StarWarsMMO.net which has just launched… right now! This site is part of the LucasArts Fan Network, the same folks who run LucasForums.com. It’s dedicated to The Old Republic MMO which is being developed by LucasArts and BioWare.

To celebrate this event I have created a new page on Twilight Lynk…

Lynk designs is mostly for me to show off my skills, however there are some interesting things in there to check out…

Welcome to the new look Twilight Lynk.

The original design for this place was pretty much a rip-off of my old web site, The Anime Crisis Center, and to be perfectly honest, wasn’t very good at all. I’ve managed to get most of the work done with this new look, but there are still a few small issues to be worked out, such as the forum images which need to be replaced. Either way, this is the way things are going to be for Twilight Lynk from now on.

If you have any questions or suggestions or whatever, let me know. Your input is extremely valuable since this site is here for you guys to use. Tell me what you like and what you don’t like and also what you want out of this web site. Be brutally honest, I need as much feedback as possible to make this place as good as it can be.

Thanks, and enjoy!

I know a lot of gamers out there don’t have much patience. At least that’s what I gather when I look around the net. So I decided to create a community environment where gamers can come and interact freely with other gamers. I’ll be posting up articles voicing my opinion as a regular every day gamer and in turn will encourage you to respond with your thoughts. Whether we agree with each other on issues is beside the point, what this place aims to do is to let you express yourself and have fun doing it.

And yeah, I want this site to be #1. It’s going to be a long, hard road, but who knows? Could kick ass. Could be dangerous. Could totally suck. What do you say, bro? Join me, let’s see how far we can take this. And for you there holding the mouse in hand right now? Just click register now! Let the madness begin!

/ end introduction with No More Heroes references thrown in just for fun.

Who are you meant to be?

Who am I? I call myself “Lynk Former” on the net because my real name isn’t very interesting at all. You can call me “Lynk” though… and of course, I’m not anyone important. I don’t work in the videogame industry in any way or have any connections to anyone in the videogame industry. What I am, is an ordinary gamer who happens to know how to tinker around with stuff on the net to make a web site.

For anything else you want to know about me, come and find out for yourself through the forums. I’ll be on there a lot, interacting with the rest of you.

What this place is about

As stated in the introduction, Twilight Lynk is a blog where I have the opportunity to share my views about the various things going on in the videogame industry. So then why would this interest you? Because you get to share your views as well in an easy to use community environment. Let me explain more…

How this place works

By now you’re probably thinking, “oh great, another blog on the net…” which is fair enough, however, Twilight Lynk is a little different than most other blogs.

With a lot of blogs, especially the ones relating to videogames, you feel the need to express your opinion and interact with other people commenting on a specific article. Normal blogs make this hard for you to do, but Twilight Lynk makes this easy by combining the blog with a forum environment.

Twilight Lynk allows users to interact with their fellow gamers while also being able to comment on the articles at the same time. This allows for discussion and debate which can last for as long as you want, well after the article has reached the darkest depths of the archives. If you want to reignite a discussion about an article, just visit the Blog forum, find a thread and post a message and that thread will instantly be pulled back up to the top of the list.

Plus, there are two ways of browsing through the blog entries. If you want to view them in chronological order, by category or by date, simply view the Blog side of Twilight Lynk. However, if you want to view blog entries which have the latest comments made in them, or are having a discussion and want to be able to follow along easily, then view the Forum side of Twilight Lynk.

The only requirement to take part in this community is to register yourself as a member. Don’t worry though, membership is completely free and takes no time at all. Just sign up and you’re ready to join in on the discussions.

If it seems confusing at first, don’t worry. Once you get the hang of how things work here, I think you’ll begin to appreciate it and enjoy the experience.

Conclusion

I hope this place finds success and I hope it can become an environment where gamers of all kinds can come and have fun… at least in between the times we’re not busy having fun by playing videogames themselves.
