It is a winter wonderland here in small town Thomas, WV. The days are long, full of holiday cheer, laughter, and merriment.

Oh, and a shit ton of design work.

As you may or may not know, I’m a fairly accomplished professional designer. I’ve been designing fairly steadily for about five years now, and have created dozens of websites. I’m nearing the one hundred mark. I’m not great by any means, but I’m getting better and better, and my work is really beginning to shine.

Anyway, enough about me! Let’s talk design.

FPS Gaming Community launched earlier this month, and I’m very proud of how it’s turned out. It runs off a Wordpress installation, but it’s very non-blog-like in functionality. It’s got a nice Web 2.0 feel to it, while having this great dark, blue glowing vibrancy to it.

I got the theme from Elegant Themes (I’m now a huge fan), and edited it quite extensively. I’m very happy with how it turned out, design-wise.

So what is FPS Gaming Community, anyway? Well, to put it plainly, it’s a community for gamers. Like the name didn’t give that part away! But what sort of things does said community do?

• Maintains a collection of fast, updated game servers with friendly admins and consistent rules.
  We’re sponsored kindly by the folks at FPS Gaming Solutions.
• Has a Ventrilo voice chat that anyone from the community may use to stay coordinated.
  We’re sponsored kindly by the folks at MainVoice.
• Events and activities that all members can get involved with! From “Late Night” sessions to pub events to tournaments and more, we plan on making gaming more fun and social.
• Clubs that any member can start up that focuses in on their particular interest – whether it’s a specific game, collection of games, a certain niche, or even a competitive team!
• A website and forums that offer even more cool content as well as a place to come together as a community and mobilize (hopefully for world domination, if everything goes to plan).

So, basically, check it out. The domain is www.fpsgamingcommunity.com. I’m very proud of how it’s turning out, and can’t wait to see it expand even further.

QuakeCon is over, but there’s a ton of great photos, videos, and articles on our exclusive QuakeCon website!

I’m really proud of what our team was able to accomplish and pull together, and despite a hectic schedule and a lot of last minute pulling together, we had some great content.

I wish I was there so badly! QuakeCon is such an amazing event, and QLTV did its best to capture it’s amazing atmosphere.

So without further ado, head over to QLTV’s QuakeCon website!

Also, check out the snazzy blue logo (a redesign by me!)

Quake Live TV has been online for less than a month and its already exploded with popularity! The Quake community loves a good shotcast, and that’s exactly what we provide – live, streaming shoutcasts of Quake Live matches. We also offering news, video on demand, match histories, forums, a demo box, and much more.

It’s really hard to explain the entire site in one blog post – so please take the time to explore it a little yourself! Head over to www.quakelive.tv today!

Just how well received has the site been received?

• 1,000+ registered users
• 13,000+ unique visitors
• 300,000+ page views
• Support from Quake Live itself, Ustream.tv’s president, djWheat, Slasher, NGL, & the entire Quake Live community
• Links & articles on GotFrag, ESReality, SK Gaming, QuakeLive.com, Quake Unity, Quake Life, and many more

Be sure to check out the media player, browse our match history, or visit the forums!

As always, be sure to let me know what you think!

The successor to EnemyTerritory.TV has been in development for the past few weeks. While you can’t see the actual development website at the moment, you can see some of the design work I’ve completed.

• Quake-Live.TV (coming soon page)
• Logos
• Web Design

The majority of the work has been completed by GreasedScotsman, who has done around 90% of the work so far on the website. It’s really looking great – it has got a ton of functionality built into the website.

We’re still working on the completion of the site as well as working on getting the best quality video streaming for the site. Since Quake Live does not offer spectator functionality, we’re building a streaming solution through Ustream.
