GamersOnlyOlder is Now Mobile Friendly and Accepting Comments!

I’ve recently installed a new plug-in that makes the website more friendly to mobile web browsers.  If you’re anything like me, you hit a lot of gaming sites while you’re on the move, and this is targeted to help you.  You don’t need to know any special address or anything, the plug-in will auto detect your device.  The aesthetics of the mobile version will be changing, but we didn’t want to hesitate on bringing you the functionality right away.  I’d love to hear feedback on this, so feel free to use our brand new comment system, by creating an account, logging in, and letting us know what you think!

Team Goo & Extra Life

Our network is participating in a fund raising event entitled Extra Life.  Sarcastic Gamer (a different non-VGEvo gaming podcast) teamed up with Texas Children’s Hospital to raise money to help kids with cancer.  Much like a walk-a-thon or a marathon, Extra Life is a 24 hour video game-a-thon.  Both Adam and I are participating for the event, side by side in my basement.  The event starts at 9AM on Saturday the 18th of October.

It’s really for a good cause, and we get to have some fun in the process.  If you’re interested in sponsoring either of us, it can be done via Credit Card or PayPal, and either based on an hourly rate (say 1$/hr for 24 hrs = 24$) or a generic lump sum.  100% of the money donated goes to the cause.  It would mean a lot to both us and the kids if you could find a way to give even a little bit of money, as every dollar raised can help make a difference.  You can find our page and a link to donate at the following address:
