I can't wait. I'm all excited. When this is launched, I'm deleting IGN from my bookmarks.
After all, it doesn't take long to type http://ign.com anyway, does it?

Winter Haven is my place of birth and now ironically, though I've lived all over the U.S. it is now the hometown H.Q. of E-mpire Ltd. Co.

^He's right. I still can't figure out how Geist got on there... If you're going with Nintendo franchises, you may as well go with good ones, like Zelda or Metroid.

Good. Or else I'd have to act a fool.

No lube.
I think we should call it March of the E-mpire and then hire Morgan Freeman to do TV spots.

Was made well before the game came out.
That makes it even more confusing how it ended up there.

As a staff member, even I have been waiting for this time to come for well over a year now.
And yes.... even I wondered why Giest was on the main banner for so long....men.... it looks bad ass nonetheless.

Tell me when you bend IGN over your knee. I'll come and watch.
It's a fetish I have....

Taking over the world, actually. That is what we are doing.
I've explained this before and I'll say it again...IGN.com is your traditional pay per view, traditional generic channel based network. It centers on consoles and generic areas of entertainment. E-mpire.com at its most basic level will have a few things that are similar to the other networks, but with our network Im looking to build a different kind of network in terms of features and content direction. We're more aggressive, we will have topic channels no one has, and please keep in mind my emphasis on entertainment. That's something the other guys dont have.

I have a question actually... Will you be revealing bits and peices through out the month? Or is this month simply for the announcement of the new world order?
EDIT: I want to enter a sweep stakes.
We'll be showcasing some teaser work, feature articles that explains the E-mperial philosophy, and some contests this month. That's the plan.
Sounds like its gonna be great.

Eidorian, we will have RSS feeds of every kind you ever imagined for virtually every channel of our network.
And as for podcasts...We've got something a whole lot better planned for Summer 06.

And in 10 miuntes you'll have the police banging down your door.
so why is this site going to be so much better? and why is everyone optimistically jumping on board without asking why it will be better?
is the site going to have a 56K warning?
SuperLuigiBros
03-03-2006, 01:34 AM
Can i please win the contests?
No. that position has been reserved for me. My official title will no longer be "Review Writer," I'll be "Contest Winnar."
Yes, with an 'a'.

Sweet. I can't wait see what you've guys have been doing all along.
Me neither! *Goes back to Photoshop*
(Actually I have no idea what the higher ups (UPS?) have been working on. I hope its a helluva more streamlined then the current look. (Of course it will be, right?)
And what about the other parts of the site besides NNow, will we actually have a buttload of content for those chunks of E-mpire too? Do we even have enough writers for them?
Find out, on the next exciting episode of Dragon Ball ZEEEEEE!
See that? I made a funny. Love is superior.
The_Cat
03-03-2006, 02:28 PM
So when will it begin? I don't see anything new yet...am I just overlooking things? I'm ooking forward to seeing what the big plan is. Hopefully it will make this feel more like one big gaming website, instead of a few segments. I would put money on that happening.
Sandman
03-03-2006, 03:28 PM
You will join us or die.

Actually, if it were DBZ, you wouldn't find out next episode...you would find out like 40 episodes later.
Fortunately that won't happen here.
Sandman
03-03-2006, 03:52 PM
Haha, ain't that the truth. One of my friends tried to get me into DBZ, as I'm not an anime fan. I watched some episodes for a couple of weeks, and it was fucking annoying. I swear one battle lasted a whole two weeks.
Hrama
03-03-2006, 04:52 PM
Ah, a drive to take over the media and entertainment world eh? I'm all for this new E-mpire thing... whatever the hell it is supposed to do. I'll see if some of my friends would be interested.
Keep up the good work you all, we're all so fucking hyped!
How many DBZ characters does it take to change a light bulb?
Only one, but it takes him 12 episodes to do it.

Considering right beneath your title flair you have the subheading that states IGN Fanboy, of course your not going to think E-mpire is capable of taking on IGN!
