Raters Gonna Rate

I just now signed up and haven't fooled around with it much, but I think having a way to export your ratings would be nice. I tend to feel a bit reserved about putting a lot of information into any database that isn't tied to my own site or backed up by me somehow. That's not to say I won't use it, but it's nice to be able save a list of my data.

edit(s):

How are you treating DLC like GTA4's Lost and the Damned and the Ballad of Gay Tony? Those are just examples.

N+ for DS and PSP are very different.

Do you do any notifications when/if submitted games are added? I'd like to know what to come back and rate, but I wasn't keeping track of my submissions.

I'm definitely enjoying playing with the system. It's recommending me a bunch of stuff with which I'm unfamiliar - Mushihime-sama Futari, Espgaluda II Black Label, Ninja Bros. 忍者ブラザーズ, Jazz Jackrabbit 2: The Secret Files, and Johnny Platform's Biscuit Romp are my top five. I should try some of the games it recommends to see how good it's doing.

I ended up not sleeping much last night because I was rating games late. I seem to have an obsession with list-keeping and stat tracking. I keep my game information on my own site (http://www.webpageless.net/gaming/games.shtml), which isn't pretty but is made just for myself.

Now, which 136 games were those that I submitted so I can go rate them...

Which jerk keeps adding all the shitty iOS games? Oh... :(

I don't know much about Decide-o-tron, but I know that reccr has shown me great games and been a pleasure to use.

Just yesterday I was playing one of the top games reccr suggested for me - Johnny Platform's Biscuit Romp. What a really terrific game. I think I'm near the end. I plan on finishing it up this weekend.

I was (and still am) really hoping it's temporary, but it's been down for a few days now. I hope it's coming back!

luvcraft, when you said reccr failed, are you saying that it's actually dead? I've been wondering why it's been down lately (although I see it's up right now), and I hope that's not the case. I'm a huge gamer, and I don't buy all the new games. In fact, there are a ton of huge franchises that I have no interest in touching at all while I still consider myself to be a video game enthusiast. I loved reccr.

I write for a site called Game Boyz (I didn't name it...) doing primarily iOS reviews, but I plugged reccr there almost a year ago.

Are the majority of people using it people to whom you're connected in some way (like through SB)?

I love the site and fear the worst every time it fails to load.

No warning for us to at least copy down its top recommendations for us even?! (I kid.)

It was a good experiment. I'm sorry more people didn't use it, because I sure promoted it to people. I thought it was really useful (and fun).

(I really loved In the Pit too, so maybe I should keep a closer eye on your projects.)

I did a backup of one of my sites the same day the database got corrupted. Sometimes good luck comes with the bad luck.

I might go. I've been really busy the past month or so, and I might take the afternoon off (after a 5K in the morning). LA is just far enough from Irvine to be annoying. Do you have a way I can contact you on Saturday if I decide to head up?
