Common Questions about GameSpotting!:

  1. Why did you make this site?
    1. I made this site at first for the fun of it. Just to have a site. Then I got more serious into having a website. And after several revisions, I got to GameSpotting!
  2. Why the name?
    1. I chose GameSpotting! not because of GameSpot but because I was thinking of Gaming and I look out for new news and stuff, so I am a Spotter and I am doing the action of Spotting. And basically it flowed togther.
  3. What about other big name websites?
    1. That’s a tough one. While I know that there is big competition, they normally tend to miss news stories and facts. Not because the news stories are bad, but because they rely on the Associated Press and having company media relations.
  4. Where do you get your info?
    1. I normally get my info from company media relations, beats (news sources [like the AP]) and sometimes from tips.
  5. Who hosts your site?
    1. GameSpotting! gets its hosting from Site5.
  6. Who is Wailord?
    1. Wailord is a contributing editor. His website is here.
  7. I am looking for software that who’s homepage is listed as here, yet I don’t see it mentioned anywhere. Where can I find it?
    1. All GameSpotting! code is on the Networks side of GameSpotting! Check here

And that’s all about me. Thanks for stopping by and I hope that you continue to read and enjoy GameSpotting!
