New Geekcade Design

Who doesn't love arcades and Geeks? So a 'Geekcade' makes sense, right?

The great and exalted Philipp has been working on this project for quite some time, with the design acting as a beta for a possible new site layout. We are pretty proud of it and wanted to give you guys a bit of an early preview and hear what you think. Check it out here: https://geekcade.majorgeeks.com/

There are about 20,000 games you can play right in your browser, so that should keep ya entertained for a few minutes, eh? My favorite is Bear vs Humans; makes me laugh. Huzzah!

 

Cool, good to know. But that is probably because you haven't tried bears vs humans. You through one squirrel, and I promise you're hooked.

Got about 3 million people to keep happy though. Plus, my kid is on the varsity esports team, so ...gotta represent.

 

My friend Chris Pirillo once said - "Geek used to be a four-letter word; now it's a six-figure one." I love that dude.

But yeah, gamers can live up to that statement.

Pretty humbling, though, when your kid starts whooping your ass in PVP - giggling and calling me a n00b.

Philipp is a mad genius. BTW

The entire GeekCade is done with Contentteller 4.0 - which he wrote. (I am pretty sure he came up with the term as well) It's a staggering piece of cms work. It's probably the single best on the planet. The goal is to try and incorporate the entire site into CT4, and the games section not only awesome games but also allows us to beta test the feature we want.

I don't know if anyone knows this, but MG's basic cms and design really haven't changed in 20 years. We are running the same code base, which is sort of insane when you think about how the internet does things now, compared to then -- yet we can still adapt to meet the needs. I can only think of one program, notepad, that I have used for a long time. But that is how rock solid that initial take was. CT is a thing of beauty. But CT2 is DEF overdue for an upgrade now. Easier to do that than rewrite all the templates.

 

Yeah - Philipp has spun some sort of elf magic on it. I heard him chanting for like an hour, thenthere was a huge POOF -- and out popped the snazzy.
