This was something I debated on for a while, but finally, I think I'm realizing it's a no-brainer: I've updated the little Random Game Finder (aka: Game Randomizer) to only bring up a batch of games that have been deemed "featured" by sources that are not wholly important... but it's not me! I only say that as a bit of a disclaimer in case some of the games are crap and you hold me accountable for your wasted time! :P

Soon enough, I'll be going through the games better (and adding a massive amount of new games, as though you need more than 6,000+!?) and sifting out my own favorites and recommended games. Until then, you will have much better luck finding great games to play if you mess around with the Randomizer.

Good stuff? I think so.
Enjoy!

[update 11/21/2009: Wow.. another round of pain and suffering as my old system for doing "single sign-on" has been declared insecure. Yay! I've had to move to yet another system which appears to rock. This hopefully ends this journey. I'll post elsewhere about this problem in case anyone cares. However, please let me know if you still see problems with creating an account on the Bragfile.com network and with moving between sites while staying automatically logged-in. Sorry for any hassle this has caused. --Hoza]

After a long, arduous path, it appears that I've (finally!) gotten the shared sign-on system back online. Sheesh.. what a pain in the rumpus.

This means you should be able to log in with your account at one of our sites and then be able to hop around to any of the others without having to log in again. HUGE feature that was working long ago, but crashed on me and forced me to disable it.

The fact that this feature works is integral to how all these Bragfile Network sites coexist. As you may notice, there are a lot of games listed in various sites, but they're not actually "living" at the site you see them listed at. That may not make sense (I'm tired after an all-nighter, sorry) but trust me, there's a reason I'm doing it this way.

FlashGamePost.com is currently the main hub for all the free online games we have on the network. However, there are also games getting sorted out to the other sites your free Bragfile Network account gives you access to.

Sorry for the mess. I've had to update some things in the background that messed up some newer things I had cooking up-front. Bummer. For now, I had to take some stuff down as I don't have time before the weekend to fix it up.

Either way, you'll have access to the spiffy new Random Game Finder at the bottom of every page now. It's really slick: Just control-click on as many game categories as you'd like and either set it to ignore ("is none of") or include ("is one of") those categories in a random game generator that pulls up six games to try!! Quick way to see a random batch of games in a category... or if you want to completely avoid a couple categories and get just the genre you're interested in.

Anyway, this is a glimpse into what I'm hoping will make a big change in the site soon, but it's a lot of work, so I'm not sure when "soon" is! :P

Have fun! (And thanks a bunch for visiting!)

Well, here goes... consider this "beta" for now, for sure:

I've turned on the User Points system! That means you can earn points when you're logged in and do various point-rewarding things! Yay.

For now, the only ways to earn points are as follows:

• Rating games -- look for the newly-enabled rating block on the game pages. Click the star that signifies what rating you think the game deserves. DON'T SPAM THIS, please. I have no problem with you voting on a ton of games... IF you're really playing the games and rating them intentionally and critically. If you just randomly open games and vote, not having played them... well, that will suck. It's not good for making sure the ratings are valid. If this system gets abused, I'll be turning off the points here.. and that would also suck.
  (limit = 10 ratings/votes per day)
• Posting Comments -- Comments posted by registered users will reward points... again, don't bother abusing this or you'll just get your account deleted. Thanks.
• Successful Invites of New Members! -- This is a good one... log in to your account (of course) and look for the "Invite a Friend" link in your user menu. When/if someone you invite registers, you'll get a gob of points! Don't use this to spam, please. I can see how many invites get sent out and if I get complaints... ban-o-rama!
• (Other stuff coming later)

So, please participate and let's see some points rack up! AGAIN though, please don't be spammy! If you don't have anything worth commenting about, just don't bother. It will be easy to see point-hogs by tons of "First!!!1!!!" comment posts all over the place. Just don't do it, 'cause it makes you look like the Troll that you are! (Well, not "you".. I mean people who do that kind of thing are Trolls... you aren't going to do that, are you?? o.O )

I think I'll be doing something like "Seasons" where points are reset at the beginning of each season.. that way, new players will get a chance to compete on occasion. Hopefully that doesn't irritate too many people, but I think it will be a good way to keep the sites fresh and keep new players interested.

Enough typing.

Thanks for visiting!! Now sign up, log in, invite your friends and get playing!! :)
