I think that people who are in the top 10 GBS Hellthread posters should not be able to post in Games.

It's not, but Lowtax was considering a "Current Events" subforum a while back that was supposed to be kind of old-GBS-y... odds are adding another subforum would require six weeks of trawling through Radium's awful malaria-filled code jungle tho.

Bring back old GBS and old Games for one week and hire new IK'S to enforce each just to see what kind of retards freak out in QCS.

A chat thread seems like a good way to get over my tendency to lurk and :justpost: so hey, video games are cool and fun
also my GBS lurker opinion is that the only interesting things on New GBS are threads about photoshopping and sometimes those ITT ones

New GBS gave us the Taylor Swift :boom: photoshop thread so it can't in any way be worse.

When a thread manages to surpass the Star Wars 9/11 Photoshop Thread you know poo poo got real.

I realize there were problems with old GBS but the new one is a creepy mystery whose purpose escapes me, but I don't know. There is not much that will improve it, so whatever. Games and the Imp Zone mostly seem okay where I post.

"What we're dealing with...

"Speak for yourself, I couldn't look that bad on a bet."
I don't even know what Imp Zone is. I took a look and it just looks like... another games forum.

I originally joined SA for the LP subforum. I rarely venture outside it.

You've probably already read this but it's a pretty good breakdown of why Singularity is so slapdash and transparently ripping off Bioshock. The version of the game with enough money and hardware to live up to their original ideas probably would have been great.

Yeah someone on youtube linked me to that article once I posted the intro episode to my Let's Play. I already knew that the game got delayed a year and during that time they totally overhauled the game and it was a bit rushed, but it was interesting to learn that for a day they actually thought the game was going to be cancelled. And that their strategy for the 10 month overhaul was "rip off everything that is cool and easy to implement." For the most part the plan worked well; it felt like a "best of" collection of stuff from great FPS games, and both Destructoid and Eurogamer agreed. It was rather transparently ripping off other games, but it was loads of fun.

But Wolfenstein 2009 was at least as much fun (indeed in some parts it was better), so I don't understand why many consider it inferior. One of the reasons I decided to do such a thorough LP of Wolf09, I had to preach its greatness.

For some reason I just played Dragon Warrior (the SNES version this time) all the way through again, instead of doing something more productive, like playing almost any other game. Now I am playing 2, and have named the main character Jerk, for hilarious shenanigans.
