The Forum Rules Say:


#1) Thread titles must be work safe, descriptive and on topic. Keep the language in thread titles clean. We don't restrict language usage in posts (up to a point), but thread titles are a different matter. Whatever luridly foul things you wish to say about Luigi, you can find a work safe euphemism for the title. Also, letter substitution fools nobody, but strings of unpronounceable symbols are acceptable. Now for the descriptive and on topic bit. It's very simple - use the thread title to sum up or describe what you are saying in your post. Do not use the title as a deceptive hook to lure people in. Do not post something useless like "How do I..." and have the question in the post. Use a game's full name rather than just a abbreviation of it. Starcraft instead of SC. Star Control 2 instead of SC2. Soul Caliber 3 instead of SC3. SimCity 4 instead of SC4. Abbreviations mean different things to different people, so Be Specific. Also, be careful about using the word "official" or "perpetual." Do not simply declare your thread official by fiat. Threads are only "official" or "perpetual" if management says so. In a decision between two threads on the same topic, the thread with the most clear thread title will take priority over the thread with a more obscure topic, even if the latter is posted first.



 Apparently you can't edit titles once you start a thread. This does not negate this rule. It just make the enforcement more of an afterthought than it should be.



A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.

Plus, just for the hell of it: Kelly Brook at the 2008 BAFTAs

This is possibly the single worst topic on this site.

It just is so pointless.

With just a little more effort, I think the topic could have been made worthwhile.  Had I been the OP, I'd have phrased the post like:

"With almost a year to reflect on the success of the Wii, how do those who have been critical of the console's motion control scheme feel now?  Have any of you, fellow VGChartz members, been skeptical of motion control or afraid to look the fool while playing the Wii?  If so, has your opinion changed any since the Wii has launched?"

Or words to that effect.

 Agreed, the idea has potential.

I  was a bit snappy really, had an exam in about an hour and I didnt know any of the stuff in it. Now that I have finished that exam Ill be a little more cheerful.

Until tommorrow. Same situation XD
