Hello everyone!
It's been a long time since I made a news post, but this one is worth the wait! You'll get some brand new high-quality cutscenes, an update about the team organization and a lot of new stuff!
All the Ratchet & Clank Cutscenes are now Available!
Okay, so first things first! As you just read, we're now bringing all the cutscenes from the first Ratchet & Clank on the site, and in English of course! The best part is that these cutscenes actually have a better video and audio quality than those who are available in the French version of the site. That's right, our Media-Source Malier has extracted the English version of these cutscenes in English first, simply because he felt that you didn't have enough multimedia content compared to the French fellows. But making all these cutscenes available took some time, because you have to do the video icons all over again, but also uploading them on the database and on Viddler, and of course writing manually the webpage…
So there you go, all 92 cutscenes are now available for download on the video section of the site, and are viewable in our streaming playing if you don't feel like downloading them!

New Organization of the Team
Now some bad news… As you might have noticed, the English Version of the site is getting more and more active on the forums, but also in terms of visits. But our problem here is that the site hasn't updated much its content recently. So we're actually going to correct that, by putting some new quality content either on the Multimedia section or in the games' pages… and that's why we hired Linkinito, a french dude who's going to translate a vast majority of the texts that are actually available on the French version, starting with the Ratchet Galaxy Files, which are long and informative pages on the series!
But we had to change some things on the English Team. So with a common decision, we actually dismissed TriggerAzura, drerossi839 and Melazzee from their jobs, because, even though they were motivated to help the site at its very beginning, eventually they could not find the time to support it.
So in the end, Tara Cross is our actual and only RG Manager, RevanAC is still a moderator and Barnaby has stayed to help us furnish some new media content… But a new head has shown up, and she actually wrote the last news post : TipsyMcBee is now a moderator, and it was an obvious choice to hire her, given that she has been very active on the forums!
So let's welcome her nicely :diable:
We're still looking for help
So this is the part where you come in. If you really are into the site, and that you're absolutely sure that you can keep helping us complete the site with some new content, well you can send some job requests to Tara Cross, RatchetBlaster or myself.
You can either become a writer or a newser, and we're looking for only two dudes (or dudettes), so go send those messages right now!
Well anyway, that is all, but be sure to check the site in the next few months for new content!
Thanks RL. I want to at least be considerate and help out make the English part of the site more active.
It's great to see more English cutscenes updated on this site. I cannot wait to see a complete download of the English cutscenes for Going Commando, Up Your Arsenal, Deadlocked and the rest that hasn't been completed yet in the future. It will take time, but I can wait.
That's so awesome! Finally, I can get all the English R&C1 cutscenes in good quality
thanks a bunch! You know, if I could record scenes I would do some of the games myself (like Deadlocked for example) but I have no way to record them 
especially since I've been so busy in the past few months. Im glad I dont have to feel like Im doing ALL the work now XD
And about the staff… I was very disapointed in the severe lack of help over the past year but Tipsy has been a very helpful and active moderator so far and I thank her again for the help
Congrats, Tipsy!
Congrats Tipsy! You will do an awesome job!
Very professional, calling us out. I understand why we were pulled off the team but the reasons why is not something you had to let the whole site know. If anything, it sounds more like you're taking a stab at us for not helping out. It's okay to say that we weren't on the team anymore, but the way you put it here makes us sounds like right a**holes :/

I could see why you would be upset about this, but RL didn't explain the dismissed crew in a very harsh way. He DID say that you guys participated at least, but I do agree with him that you and the other two weren't THAT active enough to keep the site updated. After Tara became RG manager for the English community, I only saw her keeping the site organized and updates while less actions from some other team members.
I understand that you have a life and are occupied with other things like school, work and so forth. However, when you are taken a task that you're supposed to do and you're not doing that much of it… eventually someone will have to let you go.
Nah, they changed how it was written since I posted that, before it just made us out to be just too lazy to help out when that wasn't the case. I'm not mad at being dismissed, I know I was in the wrong, but the way it was written before just made us seem really bad. It's okay now though, and congrats on the new role Tipsy, I forgot to say before :P Although it may have been a bit out of place in my last "fist-flailing" post.
But yeah, I do know you'll do a really good job ^^
Oh alright then. I didn't pay clear attention to what RL wrote there before, but at least now the latest update has been edited out.
I'll do the best I can to keep this site updated.
Thanks for cheering me on Mel.
congratulations tipsy!
