If you were to have your own gaming section, what would you like to see covered in it? Anything pertaining to games at all, what would you like to see put in there? Features, games in particular, what?

If I had my own gaming section, I dunno... probably a general discussion area... a forum for mods and the like... definitely one for campaigns too. And who knows, if people ever started doing stuff with the source code of the game, I'd probably open up forums for those too. :nervous:
- Eddie Kent Woo, Setekh, Steak (of Steaks), AWACS. Seriously, just pick one.
HARD LIGHT PRODUCTIONS, now V3.0. Bringing Modders Together since January 2001.
THE HARD LIGHT ARRAY. Always makes you say wow.

The title of this thread makes it appear to be much more important than it really is. [/captain Obvious]

I like Steak's idea. :p

Wow Setekh you've got quite a plan there, maybe you really should start a forum... oh wait. ;)
Science alone of all the subjects contains within itself the lesson of the danger of belief in the infallibility of the greatest teachers in the preceding generation . . .Learn from science that you must doubt the experts. As a matter of fact, I can also define science another way: Science is the belief in the ignorance of experts. - Richard Feynman

 
Not just forums, web pages! Like, reviews, guides, special occasions, news, downloads, videos, screenies, mods, etc!

You think? I don't know, I have doubts as to whether that kind of thing would ever become anything. ;)

Seriously though, I would go for an uncovered area in the game you're looking at. That's kind of how HLP started - going for mod support. Back in those days, the community was soaked through with Fredders - modders were very, very rare. If you can find a niche, fill it. I mean, you can do what everyone else does too, but then it just becomes a competition for who can do the same old thing better than everyone else - and that doesn't lead to collaboration, it leads to rivalry (not the good type, often). Find something new. :nod:

How about we go off Freepsace 2 for a second. A lot of people havent heard of it, let alone SCP. I doubt anyone who visited the site would know what the hell I am talking about.

A website for the creation of particle sprites for the Freespace 2 engine!

Ok, I'll make this clear a second time:

We are not focusing on one game. The last thing I would want to see is another fan site dedicated to a game. We are talking about games in general.

Im not yelling or swearing, all I am saying is we want a general game section. No need to calm down.

I agree on the fact that I dont need to calm down. But yes, whatever.

Less babbling, more suggestions!

I suggest an agreement forum. A place where individuals can come together and agree to disagree, then to agree again.

Could be good for mediation...

Downloads are good. :D

Strategy guide stuff, maybe fan-fiction. Definantly a forum for discussion about any aspect of the game as well.
