Updated Version:<\/font> About ComboVid.com<\/a><\/p>\n

You know how they say we only use 10 percent of our brains?
\nVince Vaughn thinks we only use 10 percent of our hearts.
\nI think we only use 10 percent of our video games.<\/i><\/p>\n

Game developers spend eighteen months crafting an interactive world that players can explore for years, then abandon it in a matter of weeks. To this day, people still talk about Street Fighter II, Streets of Rage 2, Final Fantasy Tactics, and God of War.<\/p>\n

Does the industry care? Barely three months go by before both the publishers and the media move on to the next shiny object, leaving the players behind. If they happen to provide a tutorial or training aid, it only covers the rudimentary basics.<\/p>\n

Why bother building a fully functional spaceship manufacturing plant only to label it a bicycle factory? There’s so much about these games that would go completely unnoticed (even by their designers) if not for individual players pushing past the intended limits.<\/p>\n

The most interesting part of a game’s evolution happens after the first year – not in the first three months. But you’ll only see that in a combovid<\/a>.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Update Schedule<\/h1>\n

Expect roughly 3-5 updates per day, primarily focusing on combo video news, but also branching out to other relevant content. Some days may be slower than others, and inevitably some days will have no new releases whatsoever. When there’s nothing substantial to post, i’d rather call it a slow day than force the issue with flimsy gimmicks.<\/p>\n

Daily Updates<\/u>
\nMatchVid of the Day – new and old games spotlighted and annotated!
\nClassic ComboVid – memorable videos from the past highlighted again!
\nOddball ComboVid – featuring random obscure games nobody plays!<\/p>\n
