The real Mario party

Just before we launched profiles, I decided to put everything in place so they'd work on the newly renovated Joystiq. It seemed logical to make the default avatar a Mario, so there he was – Paper Mario to be accurate. Once the resourceful Joystiq readers were given the ability to make their own user images, a lot of creative stuff happened

Be sure to check out that linked post for some more great Marios, including Patrick McGoohan as a Mario Number Six or Optimus Mario.

Please welcome avatars and profiles

While Gavin's been linking people's names to their profiles in his comments for a long time, Blogsmith profiles really haven't done much. Until now! Fun and exciting options like profile pictures, website links, and comment history are all there. Check it out on Joystiq for now, but Engadget, Autoblog, and of course this site will follow soon.



Some notable profiles include:
  • Brian (not bothering to link because he's set it to private)
  • Gavin (huh.. also private)
  • Celly (spotting a trend here)
  • Hard Gay (um, not the real one)
  • Me!

Please welcome the new Joystiq

I would love to do a big writeup on its features and niftiness, but for now, we're still tweaking and fixing, so no time to bask in the glory yet. But stop on by to Joystiq 2.0!
