Just saying…
Well, I was planning on making more “what’s been going on at thesavepoints.com” posts, but I’m like 2 months late and don’t want to waste my time.
So instead this post will link to the actual website and I won’t bother with making posts here, unless we post something big. Which doesn’t seem to be the case for a while.
So yeah… COME VISIT US AT www.thesavepoints.com
there will be cake
A bit has been going on at the new address. Reviews, rants, big random posts.
Valkryst started his cosplay feature (which he’s late on right now…), and the contest announced last time was cancelled because we literally had no response out of it, but we’ll do something else later on.

Hey guys. First post on this address since a long time ago…
Well things have been rather crazy but we still squeezed out a bunch of posts since we bought our new domain name.
Reviews, rants, impressions and, most importantly, A CONTEST(with more to come eventually, of course)! Oh, and in-depth review of Dissidia Final Fantasy… w00t.

Well, we didn’t have posts in the last few days, but we’ve got a good reason for that: we’re expanding just a bit.
That’s right. We bought our own domain and hosting, so now you can see us at http://www.thesavepoints.com/ . We were setting this up in the last few days. There are still some adjustments to be done, but overall it’s done setting up.
(Dave, wintrale, vic,valkryst(?) if you have trouble logging on at the new address just tell me)
In the future we’ll be personalizing that quite a bit. New design, we’ll have a logo, you know the works. Currently it looks just like this one, but in a while we’ll be adding changes.
This blog won’t die though. I’ll keep updating here, just posting from time to time with ”What’s been going on at thesavepoints.com” kinda posts.
As for post we’ll be doing over there, I have like 5 reviews lined up and maybe some rants. Kyolux and Vic also have some reviews (and Kyo has a fun post) coming up, not sure what else. Wintrale might have some nice import reviews before the end of year if all goes well on highly anticipated titles, and Valkryst might eventually start posting his new feature.
Well, not much more to say, come meet us at http://www.thesavepoints.com/, we’ve got some cool stuff coming.
For starters on our new site: The best of 2008 in gaming!
Now that I’ve got your attention, please take a look on your right in the sidebar.
I’ve added a poll.
So now you can tell us what you’d like to see on our site through this poll. Any ideas not on there? Well the comments are there for that. So feel free to take a moment of your time and greet us and vote/post on the comments.
I don’t really know anything on Free Realms, I’ll look into it a bit later today (when I’m done with my LBP review), but for now, here’s a link to the game’s Beta registration page. It’s free to register, so why not?
UPDATE: On one side, you have what looks like a game oriented to a family, so far from the type of gamers most of us are. But it still seems interesting to see how this game comes out, as there’s 18 classes and you can switch between them whenever you want. (Not all classes are fighting classes)
Well, kinda.
Our friend from Europe (named “Wintrale” on this blog) will be leaving for Japan on friday and will be going to TGS. We’ll be getting a few reports on it while he’s there, and more in-depth reviews on some of the bigger games when he comes back. Needless to say there’s gonna be a LOT of stuff going on there.
Look forward to it!
Hi!
Jobocan already explained our goal with this blog, so I won’t repeat what he said, but still I welcome all potential readers and will skip already to the about me part.
About me
I’m a college graduate in Multimedia integration and now studying at L’Université du Québec en Outaouais in Communications and medias. I’m working for the federal government part time as an Intranet coordinator assistant, which means I mostly work in the HTML part of our Intranet. I’m 24 years old and been playing games for about 20 years now, mostly since I’ve gotten my first console, a Sega Master System, along with games like Alex Kidd in Miracle World, Wonder Boy and Gangster Town! On the anime side, I’ve watched some when I was a kid, my favorite back in the 80s probably was Astroboy (yes it predates that in origin, but I wasn’t born before that) and a bit later, such as Dragon Ball, then Dragon Ball Z. It’s only back in early 2004 that I’ve learned the existence of online fansubs and rediscovered what was anime was. I since then watched a tons of those, been actually part of a fansub group, and bought my fair share too on the DVD side. I’ll probably talk about manga too from time to time. I’ve actually also been part of a big fansite, Bleach7, over there I was known as Ecchigo. I’m still an admin over there, but I’ve been inactive for a while, it’s just a place with a few buddies for me now.
My goal for this blog, is mostly to improve my writing skills, which is most important in Communications. Hopefully I’ll be able to achieve this. Look forward to my first real post shortly, an Uncharted review. It’s almost ready!
Hello everyone and welcome to Save Point! This is Jobocan, one of the two authors you will see on this blog.
So now I’ll just talk a bit about what this blog will be about.
Kyolux (the other author on here) and I are big gamers and anime watchers, and we decided to start this blog to give our impressions on games and anime, as well as other stuff that we might come by.
Basically we’ll both be writting similar stuff. Reviews for new or old games/anime, impression on demos(if the demo comes earlier than the actual game) and betas, as well as reviews for other medias such as movies and music, or whatever else we come accross that we feel like writing about. This will pretty much be a “talk about whatever you want” kinda blog, though we will mostly be concentrating on games.
About Me
I’m a Web Developper for a multimedia company in Gatineau, Québec(Canada). 20 years old(will be 21 next month), i’ve been gaming… ever since I’ve been able to hold a controller in my hands. In my high school years I started watching anime and as of now i’ve seen a bit over 300 anime series (including some that i dropped or that i’m taking a break on). I was once a game reviewer for a website but the site failed fast because…. i don’t know actually… Anyways, now I’m done with college and am working a full-time job and thought it would be cool to start up a blog with my friend.
You can expect lots of posts from me in the following months.
Cheers!
