StarCraft 2 on NVIDIA GeForce GTX 460
Posted in News by dcramer 17 with 7 comments (2010-07-30)

I've been given the opportunity to review one of the new mid class cards from NVIDIA, the GeForce GTX 460. These typically run around $200, which in the past would get you mediocre results at best. I can't quite say what has changed in the last few years, but I can say that the game is changing. To give some background for this, I've ...
Server Maintenance
Posted in News / Site Updates by dcramer 17 with 0 comments (2010-07-28)

We will be moving the Nibbits.com infrastructure to a new server at 12AM PST (about 2 hours from this post) tonight.

The site may be down momentarily during the switch, but it should last no longer than 30 minutes.

Update: There's been a delay in the transfer. We'll update this post before beginning the maintenance. If it's not ready within the next hour it will be moved to Wednesday the 28th.

Update 2: Moving media is taking much longer than expected. The switch will be delayed unti...

Reply to this article and tell us what you love, and what you hate about Nibbits.

Just interested in general feedback and things you'd like to see over here.

Right now we have no keys to give aw...
Our 2nd Birthday
Posted in News / Site Updates by dcramer 17 with 8 comments (2010-04-08)

Today, April 8th, marks Nibbits' two year anniversary. It's been a fun journey, and boy has the site changed. Today I took the opportunity to dig up some images I had taken before I converted the old Nibbits (had nothing to do with maps), to the new version, which is what you see now.

Originally, I had started the domain off as a file search site. We didn't host any file, but rather we let people submit links to find files. It worked decently for WoW patches, and we had a big directory of ...
Our First WInner

I'd like to announce the winner of our first official monthly drawing..

Congratulations to DrCometh! There were nearly 1500 raffle entries this month.

For next month we're adding one more stipulation to the rules. I was worried that the winner would come out to be someone who registered, clicked enter, and never visited the site again. Luckily, that didn't happen. However, for next month's contest we will be requiring you to have a minimum of 10 posts by the time the contest ends.

We...
Say Hello to Reviews
Posted in News / Site Updates by dcramer 17 with 13 comments (2010-03-23)

Evening everyone!

I've come to recruit you to review your favorite maps. At Nibbits we're moving away from the typical ratings (since they're crap), and forcing users to write detailed (at least semi) reviews. The system isn't completely transitioned yet, but you can already review maps. The eventual switchover will remove generic "ratings" from all pieces of content on our site, and replace with with a simplified Like/Dislike system (details will come later). Reviews are going to have a M...
Win a copy of StarCraft II
Posted in News by dcramer 17 with 3 comments (2010-03-19)

As most of you are aware, we've been having an ongoing contest to win a pre-order of StarCraft II. Now I'm not going to talk too much about that contest, but I want to talk to you about our next contest.

Our next contest is going to be centered around authors. What kind of authors? Well, all kinds. We're not talking about just map makers, but anyone who has the ability to throw together a decent guide for any of our games. These guides can range from things like writing basic galaxy script...
