QuickJump QuickPeek branches out: introducing the Weekend Warriors

QuickJump QuickPeek introduces... the Weekend Warriors - Image 1QuickJump QuickPeek finally gets a make-over! After a full year of weekly updates, we’re now turning over a new leaf and allowing this QJ.NET mainstay to branch out by introducing the Weekend Warriors. Sorry, the Weekend Whattssitts? Hmm, just think of it as the Planeteers summoning Captain Planet. …Or something – some other equally bad analogy like that at least. Ha! Nonetheless, it’s going to be quite interesting from here on out. Here’s to yet another year of some crazy weekly updates! And with that, we open the floor for the Weekend Warriors!

Hurrah! Weekends are made up of all the most awesome stuff. It’s one of life’s most satisfying things after all – perhaps second only to getting to scratch an annoying itch.

For one, most of us who get the weekend off (either from school or work – or both?) finally get to park our merry butts in front of the TV and play video games with impunity. Aside from that, we get to catch up on pretty much everything we missed out on during the week. Which is what we’ve been doing for the past 52 weeks, in case you were really living under a rock the size of Mars.

In QuickJump QuickPeek’s second year, we decided to branch out… and dig deeper still. Because quite frankly, at the rate that each previous QuickPeek was going, it wasn’t getting any quicker of a peek, if you get our drift. So with that, we’ll be splitting it up and allow each of our blogs to go in-depth with the week’s news!

Thus, we bring in the Weekend Warriors!


The QuickJump QuickPeek v2.0 changelog:

Yeap! From now on, each blog will be getting its own individual QuickPeek, each tagged under a Weekend Warrior label. This allows the individual teams to report on more news and add a little bit of editorial introspective into the week’s news.

Yes, you heard us. This time around, QuickPeek – or should we now say Weekend Warrior? – won’t just be recapping news. We’ll be throwing in some incentive for you readers too. Little “behind-the-scenes” snippets that don’t quite make it to the regular updates you find on the site.

So, who are the Weekend Warriors?

We’ll have Weekend Warriors for all of our blogs in QJ.NET. That includes all gaming blogs – PSP, PS3, Xbox 360, Wii, DS, PC, MMORPG, and WoW – plus those concerning Science and Technology – Science, Apple, Gadgets, and Mobile.

Check ’em out – lined up looking all pretty like that! Shiny banners for our new columns!

Wait – does this mean there won’t be any QuickPeek anymore?

Yes and no. QuickPeek will still be around, sure! But of course, the meat of QuickPeek is in its Weekend Warrior children. Every week, once all the individual Warriors have been published, we can finally throw in the proud parent: a QuickPeek article acting as a hub.

Think of it this way. The Weekend Warriors are the branches, while the QuickPeek is the trunk. The QuickPeek will be linking to all the separate Warriors just so you guys have a central article to use as reference for jumping from one article to another.


We hope you guys have fun with the new system. If you have any comments or suggestions, you know what to do. The first set of Warriors are going up in just a couple, so stick around, why don’cha?
