On the topic of the actual article, the only thing I regret not including is a mention of what it's like turning the DS each time you entered the worlds of the cursed games. It was a very tactile sensation, and it really added to that cool feeling of "I'm going somewhere else now."
Mr. Administrator, thanks for doing such a great job laying out my article. I was feeling bad for not trying to do the html for you, but now I'm glad it gave you a chance to try something new. Where'd you dig up that logo image for the DSiware games? I looked at every article on those games in every language I could find.

Regarding the article proper: thanks for covering this.
I recall reading about it a while ago, either on the old Insert Credit forums, or Select Button, and being fascinated by the concept. Glad to see it now have something on it.

I'm a little late to the party on this one, but I have to say, this was a great read, and also, I really like the new layout.
It was always cool to have an s-ton of screens along the side of the page, but to see them like this, integrated with the text, instead of separated from one another, I find it visually appealing. The two break one another up.
The ads don't bother me one bit.

I think I'm going to go back to having screenshots on the side and ditching that as ad space. But I also like the smaller text size, the index, and the cover art/data boxes. Will continue experimenting of course.

Maybe it would be worth keeping the ebay and (for more recent games) playasia ads, as those two are actually useful.

eBay I will be keeping, but will probably relegate those to the bottom of the page. Also Play-Asia and Amazon, but I might leave those right at the bottom of the page, to the right of where the links and conclusion usually.

Looks great.
I noticed one typo: you left the "Me" off of the second game's title.
And was there a problem with the MP3s? I think I sent you two.

This was a great read. Thanks Ryan!
The ads don't bother me, but there were a bit jarring thing because of the content. My ads were giant pictures of donuts with ANN ARBOR ONE-DAY DEALS written across them. Nothing I find wrong with that, but there's some psychological dissonance in seeing brightly lit donut ads next to an article on a horror game.
Who knows with Google- maybe their algorithm will eventually pick up on more of the site's content and deliver more targeted ads?

I'm on a roll with the grammar tonight.
As far as the layout, these As far as the layout is concerned, these
touching near the edges of the screen allow you touching near the edges of the screen allows you
you’re prodding along at a you’re plodding along at a (or is that a pun..?)
brisk power walk until the got brisk power walk until they got
Its populated with item shops It's populated with item shops
The heading for the second game appears to be missing the "me"
survive? he second game takes survive? The second game takes
here is just enough whispering online there is just enough whispering online
