The server maintenance that resulted from the server migration is finally finished. I apologize for the delay and for the various features that were down for a lot of this time. I have a separate full time job and a family to attend to so I wasn't able to dedicate as much time to the maintenance and server migration as I would've liked. The migration in the long run was not only beneficial for me since it cut server costs by a ton but it also resulted into all games (except PlayStation) being available to all users with no limitations at all thanks to the unlimited bandwidth that I now have.

Also, the site should be a lot faster now and even faster than it was before the server migration. All of the features should be working fine again but if anything stopped working because of the migration, be sure to let me know right away in this thread:

I wanted to wish everyone a Merry Christmas. It's not quite Christmas yet but I always like to make sure everyone in all time zones get this before Christmas.



7 Days of Vizzed Christmas
You'll all be rewarded a nice Christmas gift when you come to the site on Christmas (server time). Additionally, you'll be rewarded a random amount of Viz for each day that you come to Vizzed from the 25th until the end of the year, the 'Vizzed 7 Days of Christmas'. Be sure to visit the site each day to claim your random Viz gift!



Christmas Games in the Retro Game Room
The Retro Game Room has 40+ Christmas games. You can find them all here:

Christmas Video Game Music Stream
I'll be streaming Christmas / Wintery themed video game music 24 hours a day from now until Christmas is over. You can find the stream here:

On Wednesday, 12/20/2017, from 5-8 PM (central time zone) we'll all be listening to and rating the songs from the Christmas Video Game 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:

The Video Game Music Room is back up which means you all can go ahead and get your submissions ready for the below competition. The competition ends this upcoming Wednesday which is also when the stream will take place but I'll let everyone continue submitting their songs up until a few hours before the stream starts. The games in the Retro Game Room will be working again hopefully within 24 hours and the rest of the site should be back to full speed within the next few days. I'll make a separate announcement once the maintenance is complete. Thank you all for your patience

The server migration is complete but the site maintenance will continue for another week. The games in the Retro Game Room are currently down and the songs in the Video Game Music Room are also unavailable. The site is also a lot slower than usual. Once the maintenance is complete, all of these things should be fixed (some of these things sooner than others). If there are any other issues that I'm unaware of, please let me know in this thread:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=100186

Starting now until Friday the site will be undergoing maintenance. Most of the site will be up for most of this time but some user features will be down for some of this time.

I'll be migrating the site to new servers which will help cut site costs, make the site a little faster and will give the site unlimited bandwidth which means I'll be making all of the games on the site (except PlayStation) available to everyone regardless of system and Viz.

2017 Vizzed Awards
As of Today, 12-06-17, the current Vizzed Board is 13 years old!

There hasn't been a lot of updates in the past year but that's because I've been working on a big project over the past 6+ months which will go live soon. I've also been working a full time job for the past year or so now so the amount of time I'm able to invest into the site has dropped by a lot.

You can find the awards and additional anniversary information here:
