Hello WeGamers!
It’s a pretty exciting day for us here at WeGame. We released a major update to our site!
This version of WeGame boasts plenty of new features:
- Tags - Now when users upload a video they’ll be able to select tags specific to that game to help them categorize their content better. This is valuable to a viewer, who perhaps just wants to watch machinima videos, The viewer can select that category on the browse page and see only videos tagged as machinima.
- Game Selector - To reduce the clutter on the website we’ve made it so that game selection is now done in an auto-completing search box. The most popular games will still appear on the page, but now one simply can type “Halo” in the search box instead of clicking around to find it.
- New Homepage - The homepage has been redesigned to show more information in general and to display more relevant videos.
- New Browse Page - The browse page has been redesigned so that it’ll sort by most interesting videos by default, rather than most recent. It also has been changed graphically to accommodate the new game selector and tag system.
- YouTube Uploads - Users can now take gaming videos from YouTube and upload them directly to WeGame through our “Upload” page by simply pasting in the YouTube URL. We hope that this feature will make it easier for users already established on YouTube to come to WeGame, allow for better sorting and viewing of gaming videos, and will greatly increase the amount of interesting content on WeGame.
- Finally, and perhaps most importantly, we added a “Random Video” button in the upper-right corner of the site :D
Please dive right in and get browsing! We hope you like all the changes we’ve made. If the website acts strangely, please clear your cache, force refresh and try again. Feel free to contact us regarding bugs, suggestions or help requests at help@wegame.com

Will we ever have the ability to delete videos? It doesn’t seem like it would be that difficult to implement…

Second.
Jeff, you still need to look at my new vids (hint hint).

Great site guys. We’re on a gaming path similar to yours, but we weren’t brave enough to tackle video.
You’ve done an amazing job so far… we’re rooting for you.

How long it’s being processed ?
I just now uploaded about 25 minutes, but not yet complete even I’m a creator ?
Can you let me know what’s wrong with and can it be fixed up ?
