Title: Game Videos section is missing. Post by: Zero254 on July 27, 2012, 03:49:20 am I can't see. Where is the section to post gameplay videos?
Also I think a great improvement would be a spoiler tag with the chat in it. Title: Re: Game Videos section is missing. Post by: Turboweasle on July 27, 2012, 10:33:40 am I can't see. Where is the section to post gameplay videos? In the specific game's forum, maybe. Or if there isn't a board for the game, in the platform board you played the game on. Quote Also I think a great improvement would be a spoiler tag with the chat in it. You're going to need to be much more descriptive here. Title: Re: Game Videos section is missing. Post by: The Krazy One on July 27, 2012, 02:49:25 pm I think what he means by that is a drop down menu you click with the chat inside of it. You click it and the chat opens up.
We have a chat on the Let's Play board. We never really had a gameplay video section on the site. Just specific topics where videos were posted. Title: Re: Game Videos section is missing. Post by: Zero254 on July 29, 2012, 12:37:47 am I just dont want to get HATE MAIL FROM PILLOW WHEN I START POSTING A BUNCH OF VIDEOS OF ME PLAYING GAMES.
Title: Re: Game Videos section is missing. Post by: Squire Grooktook on July 29, 2012, 02:38:02 am I think what we need is a gaming general discussion board, with a sub forum for game videos.
Title: Re: Game Videos section is missing. Post by: Turboweasle on July 29, 2012, 11:11:18 am I think we need to use the boards we already have.
Despite what it's largely populated with now, the ASE is as much a general discussion board for gaming as it is for most everything else. No one's gonna be upset with you because you posted gaming material in the ASE. If there's already a board for the game you're posting about, though, it would probably be best suited there. I just dont want to get HATE MAIL FROM PILLOW WHEN I START POSTING A BUNCH OF VIDEOS OF ME PLAYING GAMES. I'm not entirely convinced you're serious, but on the off chance you are, he won't as long as you don't, say, make each video have its own individual topic. Title: Re: Game Videos section is missing. Post by: The Krazy One on July 29, 2012, 12:29:04 pm This is if you're actually serious.
If you want to make videos and post them on here that is fine. If you want to make a number of videos for a single game I'd say put them in it's own topic (ex. My God of War Videos). If you want to have videos of multiple games in one spot you can make a topic for that (Zero's videos). This is how I'd do things. Keep that in mind. About the whole "game video child board" thing, who would actually use that? I mean I kinda like the idea but others have to be interested and want to use it for it to be useful. People want a chat on the main page but nobody uses the one on the Let's Play board. How many people on here actually post their videos frequently enough for it's own board? I'm the only member that does that currently. Basically, people have to care for something to do well. That includes these boards. Title: Re: Game Videos section is missing. Post by: Squire Grooktook on July 29, 2012, 03:35:55 pm I would use a game video board.
Also I really don't like the idea of ASE being both a general discussion board AND a general gaming discussion. Really bad mix imo. Title: Re: Game Videos section is missing. Post by: Turboweasle on July 29, 2012, 03:49:35 pm Show us that there's enough activity for a game-specific general discussion board and you'll have it.
Title: Re: Game Videos section is missing. Post by: The Krazy One on July 29, 2012, 05:32:22 pm I would use a game video board. Also I really don't like the idea of ASE being both a general discussion board AND a general gaming discussion. Really bad mix imo. ASE is the off-topic discussion board. I didn't know it turned into the gaming discussion board even though there are barely any game related topics (looked at 5 pages and found 3 gaming related topics). A suggestion would be to make the Gaming News/New Releases board the General Gaming Discussion board. Since it could technically be the same board but with gaming discussion topics in it. Show us that there's enough activity for a game-specific general discussion board and you'll have it. I would change that from a "game-specific general discussion board" to a "game video board" since I don't see there being enough of a backing for that board to be active. The video one. Title: Re: Game Videos section is missing. Post by: guest25 on July 30, 2012, 03:18:20 pm i wouldn't make the all seeing eye a place where the game material goes either. i personally would probably post in the ASE just bc there's no denying more people would view it there, however, i still think they should be separate.
i do agree with turbo that you should post a topic or something to see if people would use a "game videos" section bc all WU needs is another empty topic nawmeen. empty or not though, i'm actually confused as to why we don't already have one. Title: Re: Game Videos section is missing. Post by: Turboweasle on July 30, 2012, 03:36:32 pm i'm actually confused as to why we don't already have one. Because for a very long time we didn't have much diversity in games. It was either MoH, WaW, or Conduit when that came out. Once everyone realized Conduit was awful and we branched out to different games/systems, the discussions disseminated as well. Title: Re: Game Videos section is missing. Post by: MrPillow on July 30, 2012, 04:40:09 pm The Gaming News forum has been a general gaming board for awhile. Several users use it as such. There plenty of game videos lurking around, the let's plays, mine and DG's CoD videos, etc.
And naw, I don't send people hate mail. People usually wait in line for hours to have the chance to have a 1v1 conversation with me, don't get ahead of yourself.

There plenty of game videos lurking around, the let's plays, mine and DG's CoD videos, etc. I'd say for now just use the Gaming News forum as the General Gaming Discussion forum. That problem is fixed. Videos: There are no more than 5 people that currently post videos regularly. Sure there are videos lying around posted by Turbo, Pillow, DG, myself and GeneralGrant. But how many of them were posted or made in the last week or two? A forum/board for just new videos by members currently isn't needed until the interest is there.
