Introducing the new "My Collection" Pages, The New Commenting System, and more!

Today I am introducing a slightly remodeled site design that cleans up a few things such as replacing my old logo with the new one, more organized social links, and the new "My Collection" section located on the right navigation bar. What you see there is a list of all the systems I own (not including standalone pong systems) all of which will eventually link to it's own page containing system info, my history and opinion on it, a few personal recommendations from yours truly, links to my videos on YouTube that are specifically about the system, as well as a complete list of all the games I currently own for that particular system. Currently the following systems have a page: 3DO, Atari Jaguar, and Nintendo DS. I plan on adding collection pages for every system in my collection over time, which brings me to my next point...

I am rolling out a new commenting system site wide called "Disqus" which is intergrated into every post on the site. This commenting system is much more streamlined and user friendly than the one I originally had in place. It allows you to log in, like posts, subscribe, and keep track of your activity such as total post count not just on my site but on all the sites you post on that use Disqus with one single log in name. You can even comment with your Facebook account, Twitter account, and more. Friend of the site Gamester81.com uses the same commenting system, so if you use both sites now you only need to use one log in for both to comment! 

What I want you all to do is click on the comment link below and leave a comment on this post about which systems you would most like to see me tackle next for the "My Collection" pages. Want to know every single PS2 game I own? How about the Super Nintendo or Genesis? Xbox 360? Leave a comment below and let me know. The system which receives the most votes in this site post only will be the next page I do!

Lastly I just want to address the lack of content for this site over the years. Trying to maintain this site in conjunction with my YouTube, Facebook, and real life duties was a demanding task. I am stepping up to the plate this year and I promise you will find more content posted on PetesGameRoom.com in 2012 than you did for the entire time the site has been live. I will be writing exclusive articles such as game reviews, commenting on gaming news that interests me the most, and much more. Anyway I hope you all enjoy the "relaunch" I suppose you can call it of the site, and don't forget to join the wonderful Petes Game Room Forum and chat with hundreds of active community members about the games we love to play!
