GF is Evolving; A Note from JoJo
Posted 8 years agoDear Loyal GFers,
JoJo here! After a long hiatus and many life changes for me and many of the staff here, I've decided to make a big change to what GF will be from here on out. Before now, we have tried to be many things: an inviting community with lots of events, a place to come and watch furry gamers stream, a database of all furry games available past and present, a running news log of all furry news, continual provider of quality editorials related to gaming, and upon all of that keep normal lives and jobs without any sort of income from the site. Needless to say this worked for a while, but the burnout came quick and furiously. It's hard to drive a site with this much attention necessary without some form of incentive to staff. However, every staff member that held a position with us and helped make GF what it became will always be loved and thanked from the bottom of my heart. Thank you so much. We’ve been going strong since 2011 and will continue to.
Now! Why do I say all this? Well because I don't want Gaming Furever to just sit there and be static, not evolving or changing so that it can be something, instead of trying to be such a big thing that it can't be anything! Over the next few days, I'll be running a poll or two over on GF's Twitter to see what people think is most needed in the furry gaming scene and doing some soul-searching of my own. Once that is established, I'll weigh what I think I and any new team members we recruit can best supply in an excellent and consistent way. I've learned a lot over the years and have started to figure out what GF can be best at when it tries to be. We're "evolving" in a way that gets rid of the stuff we don't need and focusing on what makes us better in the long run.
An important note is that this is also necessary because through the years GF has moved from many out-dated programs to new ones, and with that had to move legacy forum posts, comments, articles, and user data over. This method prolonged old data, but because of the many moving parts, I don’t feel it is as secure and stable as it needs to be in this day and age. Because of this, the site will be on a clean slate moving forward. If you have any comments, articles, pictures, posts, or anything else you need saved, please do so over the next few days. Nothing is safe come the new year. This wiping is needed to make sure past users who no longer visit don’t have to worry about old notifications, any holes in security can be patched up fresh, and people who want to return can be excited to know that they’ll be doing so in a brand new, shiny environment.
Think of this as moving into a new home! Yes we’ll have to get reacquainted with everything, it will take some effort, and we will have to throw out some things that are out-dated to make the house feel clean and modern, but once it is done it will be better than ever. Promise. :3
See you on the other side.

We've Replaced All of our Staff Members with Furries
Posted 10 years agoWe decided here at Gaming Furever that it was in our best interest to replace all our staff members with furries. I know, I know...not everyone approves of the stigma that comes with being a furry, but we think they're (mostly) all really cool people and want to give them a chance. We'll see how they do and if they don't work out, we can always replace them with normal, boring people.
Let us know what you think of this move. Doomed to backfire? No turning back? All hope is lost? We want your thoughts.

Churbles - A Beautiful 3D RPG Adventure
Posted 10 years agoChurbles. No I didn't sneeze, that’s the name of this adorable looking game being kickstarted by the indie studio CrashGem. They describe the game in the following quote.
"Churbles is a fantasy simulation RPG focusing on the heroic efforts of adorably tough hamsters, slated for a 2014 release on PC, MAC, and Linux. A Churble is an adorably tough hamster, sporting magical powers and elemental affinities. They reside in an underground world of diverse biomes, elemental nodes, exotic locales and fortified communities—all interconnected by a series of endless tunnels and tubes. This is a world fraught with perilous dangers and hungry monsters; the Churbles fight hard to defend their homes and expand their colonies, but they could really use your help. Their world in peril, you must choose one Churble to become a legendary hero. Together you will quest for resources, glory, and fame; all while expanding the size and scope of your colony, recruiting heroes to your cause, and thwarting vile plots and sinister villains."

VALVE APPLIES FOR HALF-LIFE 3 TRADEMARK
Posted 10 years agoValve has apparently filed an application for trade marking the word "Half-Life 3" and it is anyone's guess as to what that could mean for the long-awaited not-yet-announced sequel to one of the most cherished game series of our generation. It could be just protecting themselves. It could be the beginning of some real news. Who knows. But one thing is for sure: it is a real trade mark application on a real website where Valve has applied for trade marks before.
The List of goods and services: Computer game software; Electronic game software; Downloadable computer game software via a global computer network and wireless devices; Video game software.
Link to application: http://esearch.oami.europa.eu/copla.....data/012180394
We'll keep you updated if we get any confirmation or denial from Valve on this issue. For now, take this news as meaning nothing...yet.

The Wolf Among Us - New Trailer from the makers of TWD
Posted 10 years agoTelltale Games' next choice and consequence game is The Wolf Among Us, which is based off the Vertigo comic books, "Fables" by Bill Willingham. It follows Bigby Wolf (aka Big Bad Wolf) as the nicotine-addicted, werewolf, detective sheriff of Fabletown, which is occupied by downtrodden fable story characters. In this new trailer, we see the rough-looking Bigby explain a little more about what he's doing in this town. On the eve of The Walking Dead game, we cannot -wait- to see what Telltale does with this series.

Microsoft Reverses DRM Policies - Xbox One News!
Posted 11 years agoMicrosoft's Dan Mattrick today announced that they have heard your "feedback" and decided that what they were trying to push obviously wasn't what the community at large wanted. As such, they have changed their daily check-in, offline gaming, and used game policies. Here's the official word from Xbox News site:
*An internet connection will not be required to play offline Xbox One games – After a one-time system set-up with a new Xbox One, you can play any disc based game without ever connecting online again. There is no 24 hour connection requirement and you can take your Xbox One anywhere you want and play your games, just like on Xbox 360.
*Trade-in, lend, resell, gift, and rent disc based games just like you do today – There will be no limitations to using and sharing games, it will work just as it does today on Xbox 360.
*In addition to buying a disc from a retailer, you can also download games from Xbox Live on day of release. If you choose to download your games, you will be able to play them offline just like you do today. Xbox One games will be playable on any Xbox One console -- there will be no regional restrictions.
Unfortunately, these policy changes do come with a loss of previously announced features of Xbox One:
*These changes will impact some of the scenarios we previously announced for Xbox One. The sharing of games will work as it does today, you will simply share the disc. Downloaded titles cannot be shared or resold. Also, similar to today, playing disc based games will require that the disc be in the tray.
But, overall, it seems that these bonus features were not enough to warrant tossing out used game and offline gameplay, so they have to go.
So there you have it! Let the next-gen console discussion really commence.
