The Signup for the Summer 2018 Netplay Tournament has been extended by a week. The deadline to sign up is now June 25th instead of June 18th. This is because we don't have nearly enough teams to begin the tournament (only 1 team so far). If anyone is at all interested or knows anyone that might be interested in signing up, refer to the following thread: http://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=100637 |

This competition will involve 2 player teams facing off against other 2 player teams. This is the 4th year I've hosted a teams tournament. You can find the results of previous years here: Summer 2017: Triple Trouble Win Summer 2016: Vizzéteers Win Summer 2015: Vizzéteers Win Summer 2014: Retro Renegades Win Summer 2013: Kogarasumaru Win This tournament will last for 10 weeks, 6 of those weeks being regular weeks and the last 4 of those weeks being playoff weeks. The 8 teams with the most points will enter the playoffs. If you have a tight schedule or don't know how your availability is, don't worry, you'll be able to schedule a day and time for your matchup each week. You can also get a backup player on your team who can fill in for whenever you can't make it to a match (or you can sign up as a backup player). You, your team and your opponents each week will come up with a day and time that works for all of you to do your weekly matchup. In other words, it's a very flexible tournament. You must enter as a team, so find someone who is willing to be your teammate and let me know what your team name is but if you can't find a teammate, just let me know that you're interested in joining but don't have a partner and I'll find someone for you. Your team may contain a 3rd user, a user who will basically be one of your backups in case one of you can't participate in a matchup in any given week or someone who can fill in if one of the main players of the team is bad at a game that gets picked. The 3rd backup player isn't required but is suggested if you can find someone willing to take on that role. If you can't find a teammate, just let me know that you're interested but don't have a team and I'll add you to the list of users looking for a teammate. Be careful on who you choose as a teammate. If your teammate doesn't show up for a matchup, then it's you against 2. If your teammate gets banned from the competition or drops out, then you have to play the entire tournament alone unless you can find someone to NOTE: You don't need the PlayStation item to join PlayStation netplay sessions. Also, the games of this tournament will be available to everyone while the tournament is active. The games that this tournament will include (some of these might change): Mixed System: -Bomberman '94 (TG) -Super Spike V'Ball (NES) -Final Match Tennis (TG) -Motoroader (TGCD) ? Super Nintendo: -Vs. Collection -Micro Machines 2 - Turbo Tournament -Super Bomberman 4 (English Translation) ? -Tiny Toon Adventures - Wacky Sports Challenge ? -NBA Jam ? PlayStation: -Micro Machines V3 -Shaolin -Crash Team Racing ? -Crash Bash ? -Micro Maniacs ? If you know of a good 2 vs 2 game, please recommend it and I'll see about getting it added! Games with a ? next to them are games that aren't confirmed for this tournament yet. The games will be grouped together and each week a team can veto a group which means for their matchup that week, no game from that system can be picked. This will allow users to compete who are unable to do netplay for a certain system because they'll be able to simply veto that system each week and never have to worry about playing a game for it. Requirements -You should preferably live in the United States (unless you have had very little lag problems playing netplay with USA users) -The RGR Plugin must work fine on your computer and netplay should work for at least 3 of the systems mentioned above -You must be free at least 1 hour every week that this tournament takes place or have a backup player that can fill in for you any week that you're unavailable -If your on the ban list, you cannot enter. To see who is on the ban list, go here: http://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=60334 Prizes 1st = 300,000 Viz or $300 Worth of Steam Games (aka 30 Raffle Tickets) 2nd = 180,000 Viz or $180 Worth of Steam Games (aka 18 Raffle Tickets) 3rd = 90,000 Viz or $90 Worth of Steam Games (aka 9 Raffle Tickets) Click here to see all the games you can choose from if you win. (teams will share the prize) Trophy Award Every user of the winning team will get a special trophy item added to their Vizzed Market inventory. Users will be able to display all the trophies they've earned on their profiles (when I'm done remaking them) and they'll also be permanently enshrined on a Hall of Fame page. Penalty If you miss more than 50% of your matches, then you'll be added to the ban list. This rule does not apply to backup players and you wont be affected by this rule if you can get your backup player to fill in for you in a week that you'll miss. Signup ends and Tournament begins on Monday, June 18th If you want to enter, reply to the below thread with your team name, who the leader of the team is and who is on your team. If you don't have a team or can't find one, respond to this thread saying that you want to form a team with someone and I'll add you to the list of users looking for a teammate. http://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=100637 (last edited by Davideo7 on 06-07-18 02:39 AM) |

I'm going to be streaming 2 vs 2 games from the Retro Game Room in the netplay lobby. The main purpose of this netplay stream will be to find some more games that have a 2 vs 2 mode or can support a 2 vs 2 setup for the upcoming Summer Team Tournament, which is now open for signup. Users are free to join us in testing out the games since we'll need at least 4 users for our testing purposes. Foxyman1113 and I will be co-hosting the stream on my Twitch channel together and we'll be on the Vizzed Discord server doing voice chat and everyone is welcome to join in on that as well. If anyone has suggestions for games for us to try, feel free to let us know in the below thread or during the stream. Stream Channel https://www.twitch.tv/davideo7/ Day and Time Wednesday, June 6th at 6 PM (central time) If you have any questions or suggestions, respond to this thread: http://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=100638 |

On Wednesday, 5/30/2018, from 5-9 PM (central time zone) we'll all be listening to and rating the songs from the Xbox Music Competition. Shortly before each song finishes, I'll give users a link to where they can rate each song and the song submitters get points for any rating above a 3 (out of 5). I will be hosting this event on my Twitch channel and I'll be giving away a total of $250 worth of Steam Games in the form of Vizzed Raffle Tickets which can be used to redeem Steam games and other digital games including eShop, Uplay and more. The Raffle Tickets can also be traded into the Vizzed Market for 10,000 Viz each. The more songs you rate, the higher your chances are of winning a raffle after the stream is over. Each rating you make during the stream is basically another entry in the raffle. There will be over 1000 digital games that winners will be able to pick from. You can see a full list of redeemable games here: http://www.vizzed.com/market/listings.php?type=Raffle My Twitch channel can be found here: https://www.twitch.tv/davideo7 (be sure to "Follow" my channel) If anyone has any questions or feedback, reply to this thread: http://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=100619 |

I've created a requests page with the purpose of helping me prioritize what needs to be done, helping me keep track of what needs to be done, and letting you all have some input in what I do with the time I invest on the site. You can find the request page here: http://www.vizzed.com/request.php If you have an idea for a current feature, a problem that you want to report or a minor typo, you can report it among many other things on that page. Even if you want to suggest for me to invest more time into the community by either posting more or gaming more with users, that sort of stuff can also be suggested. Basically any direct request you have for me. You can even give input on things already suggested by either "Liking" those ideas (by clicking the heart) or by responding to the comments sections of those pages. The page is not completely done and I plan to add a little more functionality. Keep in mind that not all ideas can realistically be done or considered but I'll do what I can and take care of what is beneficial for the site. I get a lot of suggestions, feedback, ideas and sometimes it can be overwhelming at how many emails or private messages I get. I do sometimes forget about things reported so this page will make sure I don't forget. I often forget to make a post about things I do or fix and this page will show what I'm currently working on and what gets done when it gets done so it'll definitely be a page worth checking out often (although most of the time I make threads about the big The "Feature Request" option is currently disabled since I don't currently have time to add new features and nor should I until I fix all of the current issues. Some of you have great ideas and I'm excited to hear what feature ideas you all might have but that option wont be available for at least a few months and any feature requests disguised as something else (placed into a different category for example) will have to be declined for now 
I built this page for you guys to help me become a better owner and developer. I'm still trying to become more invested and involved with you all. For me, this is the best and most organized way I could think of at reconnecting with the community and working together at rebuilding what is broke and resolving what is wrong 
If you have any questions or feedback, reply to this thread: http://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=100615 (last edited by Davideo7 on 05-25-18 02:02 PM) |

Today and over the past few weeks I've been fixing various netplay issues and also recreated the Netplay Sessions page. Here's a list of things I've done. New Netplay Sessions Page -The new page is smaller, cleaner and is migrated to the "new site code". -There's now a list that shows the top most popular RGR games to netplay along with a 'Create Session' link that lets you create a netplay session for that game right from the netplay sessions page. -A game session history tracker now displays the last 50 netplay sessions. A good way to find out when users usually do netplay, if you missed a netplay session, and also gives you ideas for games to netplay. Bug Fixes -Netplay sessions stay open and don't auto close when users aren't chatting. -Netplay sessions get removed again from the netplay sessions page when a session is no longer being used. -Chat room in both the game window and netplay sessions page should be working fine and has been upgraded and modified to a better scr -The links for leaving and deleting a session are available again in the play window of a netplay session. The 'Reset' button is also available again to those who created the session. For those who don't know, the RGR Plugin lets you join and create netplay sessions for games in the Retro Game Room which lets you play multiplayer games online with other users of Vizzed. Supported systems include SNES, NES, PS1, Genesis, SMS, N64, TG16, PCFX, TGCD and more! You can join a session in progress from the Netplay Sessions page or you can create a new session by finding a game in the Retro Game Room, scrolling half way down the game's page and clicking the 'Click here to Start a New Netplay Session' link, which lets you set up the netplay session. Netplay sessions work best in Google Chrome. If anyone has any questions or feedback, please respond to this thread: http://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=100608 |

The Vizzed Streamers page is back up. It's been down for quite a while and hasn't been functioning properly for even longer. For those who don't know, the Vizzed Streamers page is a page that promotes users on Vizzed who stream on Twitch. You don't have to stream Retro Game Room games but it is a requirement to stream RGR games at least once a month to stay on the page and streams involving RGR games will be prioritized over the other streams. You'll also earn Viz while streaming RGR games. If you stream on Twitch regularly, it'd definitely be beneficial to get yourself added to the Twitch Streamers page. Streams not only appear on the Streams page (with chat too so they actually show up as viewers in your stream) but the streams also get promoted on the index page of the Retro Game Room. You can Sign Up to the Vizzed Streamers page here: http://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=69017 And if you have any questions at all, let me know in this thread: http://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=100592 |

The Vizzed annual Bomberman '94 Tournament begins week 3 tonight and both of the matchups taking place tonight will be live streamed with commentary among those competing. Below are the matchup times, who is in the matchups and where the stream will be taking place. 7:00 PM Matchup (central time zone) -Foxyman1113 -Davideo7 -trixz2007 -DavidMcC1989 -Vanelan It'll be streamed on trixz2007's Live.me channel here: http://www.liveme.com/user/index.html?s=759159726814003200 9:00 PM Matchup (central time zone) -nakina -thing1 -Pringur0 -Davideo7 -lilwildwolf21 (possible celebrity guest appearance by Foxyman1113) It'll be streamed on lilwildwolf21's (djinn) Twitch channel here: https://www.twitch.tv/djinnsgamingchannel trixz2007 and lilwildwolf21 both stream most of their matchups and since every contest has 2 matchups a week, lots of opportunities to watch some of the matchups. I also stream my matchups when I'm in a matchup that doesn't have anyone else streaming and I do that on my Twitch channel. Some of these matchups can get intense. The 7 PM matchup from week 1 was pretty epic and tonight's 7 PM matchup contains most of the players from that matchup who all happen to be some of the toughest players in this tournament. It's definitely worth showing up to these matchups, even if you're not in the tournament or into Bomberman. We usually keep the conversations fun and interactive and it's also a great opportunity to catch up with fellow vizzed users.

In this tournament we'll be playing Bomberman '94 for the Turbo Grafx. Each user will play 2 matchups a week. You get to choose which day and time you want to play each week from a list of available times and days. Each matchup could be any of the following: -1-5 Player Free for All -2 Players vs 2 Players -1 Player vs 1 Player -Other possible combinations This tournament is incredibly flexible to everyone's schedule. Each week you can choose between the In each matchup the players will play until someone has won 5 games so a single matchup can take between 15-30 minutes. 1st place will get 7 points, 2nd place 5 points, 3rd place 3 points, 4th place 2 points and 5th place 1 point. Failure to show up to a matchup automatically results into 0 points. Every week (except the first week) the 2 users (or more, depending on how many enter) with the lowest amount of points will be eliminated from the tournament. If there's a tie, both users will be eliminated. For each matchup, the level you play and the time you play will be predetermined. All matches will take place at either 7:00, 7:30, 8:00, 8:30 or 9:00 PM central time on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday or Friday. If you are eliminated from the tournament for failing to show up to your matchups, you'll be placed on the tournament ban list which means you wont be able to participate in a netplay tournament until next year and you'll also be fined 10,000 Viz. This is the 5th year that we've had a Bomberman '94 tournament. Here are the top 5 results from each of the previous 4 years: 2017: 1st. Davideo7, 2nd. Linkums, 3rd.

I've been sorta distant from the Vizzed community for the past year and a half and especially lately over the past few months. I've been spreading myself too thin ever since I started a full time job 1 1/2 years ago and especially more so with my wife recently getting a full time job, putting me in charge of my kids while she's at work which has limited my time to invest into Vizzed even more. Up until a few months ago I was investing a lot of time into the website. Between working my full time job, I was also investing an almost equal amount of hours into the website...but not the community. A lot of the stuff I had been working on was more behind the scenes stuff such as fixing things, optimizing things, server transfers, server maintenance, marketing and advertising, researching, studying, general site maintenance, working on making the site more mobile friendly and making the games in the Retro Game Room playable on mobile devices. I was working too much, lacking From now on, I'm going to put far less focus into adding new features to the site and more focus into fixing the ones we already have. But prioritized over that though will be the Vizzed community since that's the part of the site that has been dying the most. Over the past year, the posting traffic has taken some massive drops and more recently it's close to extinction. I've got 100s of Private Messages I have to go through and I'll make those a higher priority than I have in the past but it'll still take me a while to get through them because some require time consuming responses, some require me to look into and/or fix things that are complicating, and some are ideas and proposals that people submit to me. I also had 10,000s of unread notifications but one day I accidentally opened it up which cleared it all so there's a lot of stuff I'll never know about that I was summoned to. Anyways, I'll probably be investing about 20 hours into the site a week on average with 10% of my time invested into adding new features, 25% of it fixing features and maintenance, and 65% of it invested into the community. Becoming more involved with the Vizzed community should result into me posting more. I'm also hoping to get back into netplaying and streaming once in a while with some of you that I haven't done so with in a long time. In the near future I'll be making a thread allowing users to let me know of what needs to be fixed around the site but my first priority will be restructuring the staff. I'll most likely demote all staff (excluding site staff) and rebuild the entire staff from the ground up. A community can't survive without a good staff and a bad staff can turn users away from the site and that's been one of the biggest complaints and one of the top reasons I've heard that users have been ditching the community, they don't like the staff or the leadership. So yeah, my involvement with the users of this site and the staff has been terrible and I apologize for that It's not that my management skills are bad, I just have really bad time management and I think the big reason for that is not only my lack of time but also my ADHD, which is something I've always struggled with and can be pretty bad sometimes. I start a lot of projects that I don't finish and adding new stuff to the site is more exciting to me than spending hours reading and responding to Private Messages and emails so I tend to put off to the side those things and ended up prioritizing what was exciting to me since it motivated me. But those reasons aren't justified and probably caused me to sometimes become impatient since I started viewing it as a burden to have to respond to things that were time consuming or unexciting. I'm hoping this new direction is the right direction (or at least until I can make Vizzed my full time job again) and those of you who have stuck around and been patient with me, or even those of you who are willing to give me another chance, I thank you all
All RGR Games Cost 0 Viz & Temporarily 25% Off All Market Listings As part of my apology and gratefulness that some of you are still checking up on the site, I've made the price of all the games in the Retro Game Room cost 0 Viz (a while ago I did make it so users could still play games without Viz but they'd have in ad in the play window). I've made all of the game systems (except PlayStation) available to everyone (this actually was done a few months ago), regardless of powerlevel or what items you own from the Vizzed Market. I've permanently dropped the price of the PlayStation item from 30,000 Viz to 10,000 Viz, which gives you access to play nearly 2500 PlayStation games. I'm able to do this thanks to the new servers that I migrated to recently which now offers me unlimited bandwidth, gives me more disk space and surprisingly the servers are cheaper than the previous I had which is crazy since they're also a lot faster. I'm also temporarily discounting all of the items in the Vizzed Market by 25%. This includes all digital items that I've listed and also all vizzed items. 150+ Items Added to Vizzed Market Over the past month or so I've added well over 150 games and other various items to the Vizzed Market (actually 200+ but a lot of those listings sold quick). I still have a lot of game codes to add from years ago when I had the money to invest into buying digital games in stock quantity. The purpose of that was to reward users by giving them something to spend their Viz on. I'm hoping to get another 100+ items added within the next month or so. Anyways, if any of you have any questions or feedback regarding any of this, please let me know in this thread
