We made a blog, check it out lol.
 

Hey ASC!

So after a few months of back and forth airsoft chatter with loads of awesome airsoft related discussions, Biorage and I came up with a brilliant idea...

Why don't we take our ideas make it into a blog? We can share our discussions and personal take on the airsoft guns, gear, and games we always talk about. Fast forward a couple weeks with more awesome airsoft related chatter, a bit of writing, and some brainstorming and we came up with...

http://www.eastwestairsoft.com/wp-co...14/09/logo.png

So if you have a moment or two, check out our airsoft blog over at http://www.eastwestairsoft.com/!

The blog still needs a bit of work but we'll be polishing up the appearance and adding more content over the next little while as we figure out what works and what doesn't.

Now if you like what you see or have any ideas or suggestions you'd like to share with us, please leave us a comment or two! We're still somewhat new to this so any constructive criticism is welcomed!

I'm sure Biorage will follow up in a bit so I'll end off here for now :D

eh?

Yes yes, a blog for great chatter, and random reviews, because why not!

so you made a website to do what the 20+ FB pages already do?

Not to mention this site that we are on?

That AK Specialist video is awesome.

Thanks for the kind words and support everyone. More to come.

I'll be posting some GBBR reviews shortly!

WE Scar GBB review is out :P

Meh, a cute post, though far too short and not detailed. I've a CB We Scar L GBB, and in less time than it took to read your article, I could summarize its pros and cons.
Yours wasn't a review, it gave no tangible info, it was a short comment.
You can do better. Hold yourself to higher standards. That includes spellchecking and grammar.
I'll be glad to read your next article.

Appreciate the information, will try harder on my next review.

Pretty good. A video review is always better. Plus then you could get viewers from Youtube as well...

What!? A video review is usually worse. You can't know where the important information is without watching the whole of it. A nicely written review with pictures and section titles allows you to quickly peruse it and find the information that is important for you. Video reviews are just a giant waste of time.

Well, an example of extra info you could give was about a certain mag you doubted would work in the Scar. That's good to mention, but now that you've done so, explain your observations how and why it wouldn't be compatible. Suggest alternatives, if there are any. Or workarounds. Remember, the point of a review is to educate the audience. Do that for us, especially the tards like me.

Thanks for the constructive criticism, any useful input is appreciated and helps us to better develop the blog.

I've added a couple more posts and we should have more on the way soon. I've got a couple more posts written up, but I'd prefer to post them on a more regular basis rather than spam a number of them all at once. I'm also waiting on some packages I ordered to arrive, so hopefully I'll have more reviews up in a little bit.

Also as a side note... I won't be doing too many gun reviews at the moment (though I should have one coming up) as the outdoor gaming season is pretty much over for me until spring and I won't have chance to review them to a degree with which I can satisfactorily complete a write-up.

Hey, reviewing addons, components, retailers, and everything can help us. Don't limit yourself to BB throwers.

I do see what you're saying. I just think watching someone actually use [Whatever item] is invaluable. I'm probably wrong and a video review is not always better. I just find you get something more out of a good video.

I also prefer a book on tape to reading, though. ;)

We've got a number of misc gear and accessory reviews coming out soon, but hopefully they won't bore you guys. We probably won't be doing too many gun reviews at the moment with it being winter and all but it should pick up next year, we've definitely got some interesting things in the works.

We've actually discussed the idea of doing video reviews briefly in the past and its definitely something we're considering once we've determined an effective format/template to work with.

But as we're just starting out and still have things to sort out and improve, using YouTube/videos as a medium for our reviews might not be the best idea at the moment, as the time investment needed to record, post process, and upload videos is quite considerable. What we could do is create a brief overview video that covers the basics, or demonstrates the function of something to supplement our write ups (let us know if you're interested in that), but a written review would still be the primary medium, as it allows us to efficiently and effectively cover and express our thoughts and experience with all aspects of whatever we're reviewing. That being said, we're still working things out and experimenting with various ideas so almost anything is possible. :)
