Games media is changing. We’ve always tried to keep with current trends and give you, the community, what we think you’ve wanted to see over the years, but with the move towards video content becoming prevalent thanks to our always-recording devices and easy streaming, we’re constantly challenged and torn about what we should focus on, be it written text or moving pictures.
We want to do more. We’ve spent several years bringing you the best (or so we think) gaming news, reviews, opinion pieces, and community content around, and we’ve done this voluntarily around our day jobs, commitments, and spare time. But that means that competitions and contests aren’t as prevalent as they could be, video content is limited by what we can do, and while we think we’re doing enough, we’d like to give you more, or at least more of what you want.
So, we need to prioritise and since we’ve always been very community focused, we’d like you to tell us where to go from here, and where our main focuses should lie. So, we’ve put together a survey which we’d really like you to take the time to fill in, whether you’ve been here for five minutes or five years (although you’ll need to be signed up!). Thank you.

are Jaffa Cakes considered biscuits?
or are they cakes?

Stefan L
They are quite definitely cakes.
Forrest_01
It even says so in the title! :D
JR.
I believe they’re biscakes.

You guys have done enough I am a proud member of TSA and could not believe it’s been years since I have not visit any other website. (Used to read Gamesradar and others)
I prefer reading/text as Vids/podcasts/live streaming(purely to watch gaming) is useless to me as I am a lip reader, but that didn’t stop me logging in everyday to see the news/reviews/previews and forums =) I have no complaints.
So thanks for taking the time to do this and I can’t think of anything to change it. It’s all thumbs up from me ;)

I always love a competition that requires people to get stick in with certain games, show off their skills. Good fun.

Definitely always digestive. Pain ones with tea chocolate ones for a quick snack. ;) keep up the great work. I’m not into podcasts but I like videos sometimes depends of I want to be a game to be spoilt or not. Not that TSA does that but still I ant surprise most of the time.
Forrest_01
Voted. Only thing that was a bit annoying was having to vote on when live streams appear. I usually visit whilst at work & as a result don’t view video content (well, rarely at least), so that was not relevant to me, yet it needed to be answered. An option of ‘not bothered’ or something would have been good.
Overall, I think you guys are doing a great job. I still come here daily for my fix of gaming pie & don’t really see that changing any time soon.
TSA is the best website on the net with the best community – Fact.
wonkey-willy
no option to watch “naked midget wrestling in baked beans!”streams?
what a shoddy opinion poll..
well i think TSA is perfect just the way it is!
keep up the great work guys..
bunimomike
New feature. My vote goes here too.

Trends are going to video streaming and whether its live streams of games or shows like Angry Joe/Totalbiscuit. I like AngryJoe and Totalbiscuit for their reviews mainly. I think TSA would benefit from doing video reviews which would be cool.

Keep up the great work and don’t change too much guys – i can’t watch videos at work and i usually watch TSA’s own video stuff on the youtube app anyway.
TSBonyman
Just to add – while i’m ultra-resistant to change, don’t let that stop you guys trying new things! ;)

I forgot to write it in the thing, but I agree with the previous mentions; editable comments would be nice. Perhaps with a fifteen minutes to half an hour window of opportunity.

Noooo to becoming more video-centric. The only videos I wanna see are trailers/gameplay or live streams of games conferences. Maybe video reviews but only if they’re acompanied by a written article. Please don’t go IGN on us and have every other article be a video. The site is pretty great as it is imo. I like most of the features as they are.
Maybe have more competitions to get people involved. The ones where you had to draw an alien, make funny captions for a screen captures or guess the game fonts were pretty fun. Even just to see what others came up with.
Maybe a Page 2 where we get really obscure gaming news/gossip that doesn’t necessarily warrant a full blown article but is interesting all the same.
I really like the review round ups you guys do for the big releases. Please dont stop doing those.

“Maybe a Page 2 where we get really obscure gaming news/gossip that doesn’t necessarily warrant a full blown article but is interesting all the same.”
Isn’t that where TC’s snatch comes in?
The Lone Steven
DO NOT GIVE TUFFCUB IDEAS! TSA having a Page two would get the site shut down for breaking obscure indeceny…. oh wait, you meant a literal page two.
I think a minor round up of gaming news that is not worth a full article along with release dates would be a welcome addition/return to the site. However, i feel that it should avoid news that are things like, an announcement of a teaser of an announcement of a trailer for a teaser of another announcement and just post the trailer or teaser instead.
Forrest_01
All innuendo aside, that is pretty much what TC’s snatch covers.
