The Entertainment Network: Phase 2

Oh dear. This won't do at all. I would like to take this moment to apologise to the world for the lack of posts on this site for the last few months. Our last fully written post was written way back on the 4th August, meaning that for the last four months this site has been dormant.

Not anymore.

I'm happy to say that I am working on bringing TEN back in a big way both in December and all through 2014. Due to personal commitments this site just cannot be my main priority at all times, however I am currently aiming to post at least five articles a week (hopefully one every week day) each of a higher standard than this site has seen recently.

It is true that in the Summer I prioritised the video section of this blog over the written section - and I am immensely proud of the 230+ subscribers we have gained. However, what I really want is for the written and video sides of this site to co-exist.

You will still be seeing videos from us. However, it's time we brought articles back to the forefront as that is what TEN has always been about.

Thanks for sticking with us through this quiet time, and I hope you'll stay with us for an exciting new year of The Entertainment Network.

Changes At TEN: What's Going On?

Hey guys,

It's been a busy few months and I feel I should explain what's going on with TEN at the moment. First of all, let me explain why we've been making so many videos rather than written posts.
The main reason for the amount of videos is largely because I felt that our YouTube channel was not being put to good use and so have devoted myself to putting up at least one video every week. This was encouraged by one of our videos getting over 70,000 views! However, making videos is time consuming - a lot more so than writing posts - and due to this and other events happening in my personal life there simply hasn't been time to write our most popular features such as our videogame and comic sales reports.

Rest assured these features are coming back, but I'll get to that later.

Another factor that has resulted in less posts here is that I am now a writer for the awesome entertainment website What Culture! This has been an amazing opportunity, and I've had a lot of fun writing posts for them which you should check out on the link above! However, because I've been putting all my efforts into giving them the best material possible there has been less time to post here.

So what's this all leading to? Overall, a stronger TEN than ever before. In fact, the Summer of TEN is starting June 20th 2013 and is going to see this new and improved TEN kick into high gear with a relaunch of our site. Now, after a lot of different design ideas we decided that we are happy with how the site itself looks, but things will be changing.

First of all you may have noticed that our logo has been revamped - check out our old/new comparison below:

Next, we're going to be posting more than ever before. Our schedule is much clearer this Summer than it has been for a long time, so prepare for more YouTube shows but also more posts including the return of our aforementioned sales reports and written reviews as well as a bunch of brand new stuff!

We appreciate you for reading this and hope you'll stick around for more exciting news coming soon!

1 Year Old! Woop Woop!

Today, The Entertainment Network, hit it its first birthday. There's been quite a few changes over the years - When we started up on January 25th 2011, we were a Facebook page called DVGN (Daily Videogames News) - to commemorate this occasion we're adding an "About Us" page to this blog, where we'll have a full history of how this blog started.
