You thought it would never happen, and yet here it is!!! And not just that, we've got a dedicated VG and Music discussion forum also!

Thanks to Sean for persevering and finally managing to get us the forums, as well as the additional ones. Without him, none of this would've happened!!

Also, HA!!! Stole your post Brainiac ;p

You should also thank Tommy Tallarico for being a gentle overlord and giving us permission to add the new boards :)

Actually, I think the true first poster of this board was Link89.

Brainiac, you may kill him now (or Myrph, whoever you prefer).

And I had a suspicion that this would be happening today, after I saw both Tommy and Sean on today.

You know I could just move the CC topic back to the General Questions board, and then there would be noone to dispute my claim! *insert evil laugh here*

Besides, I posted here before I moved the topic in, so technically I was first to post here anyway!:p

Yes, but wouldn't that be abusing your mod powers? :p

Not if no one catches me doing it! Besides, there are no rules against that in the new FORUM RULES!!! (http://www.videogameslive.com/forums/announcement.php?f=104)

In all seriousness though, new forum rules now in place to make sure nothing bad happens now that we've let the leash out a little!

About time we finally got a general chat! :p

IT HAS FINALLY HAPPENED! *cheers*

Gentle Overlord... that sounds kind of like a cheesy avatar name if you ask me. "No offence to anyone who is known as Gentle Overlord." ;)

To be honest though, if it hadn't been me, it would've been one of those guys up there ^^^ who posted after me and before you, so really you can't blame me, per se!

They were all responding to the first poster (i.e. you). Thus, blame. :D

Way to go Brainiac!

Don't you go provoking him! :p

Like I need encouragement. MWAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAA!

So, we have a forum for games, and a forum for music. Where do we talk about video game music?

Swish
09-22-2009, 09:35 PM
That's a good question. I guess the music subforum, unless you want to suggest it for the show.

Myrph
09-22-2009, 11:22 PM
Yeah, I guess you can put that in any forum you want, really... If you want VG music and its place within games, put it in the VG discussion forum. If you want VG music as an art form within itself, put it in the music discussion forum. If you want to discuss how incredible a piece of music is and how great it would be in VGL, put it in the Music Suggestions forum. :D

Terraguy

I agree with Myrph. If you want to talk about the game aspects of a certain piece, the game board. If you want to talk about the musical aspects of the piece, music board.

now we have a place to fit this in.
...from one 1337ROX @ GameFAQs:

"What is a bard?" <throws harp> "A miserable little pile of spoons!"

Tell me that isn't funny worthy of its own forum. :D

yes I did go post diving for this one.

And it seems that Swish and Brainiac are vying for 3rd highest post count instead of 2nd.

I don't know...with enough posting, they could catch up to Myrph...or me, for that matter.

Brainiac

Nice digging, Stranth. I'd almost forgotten about that.

As to catch up with Myrph (or Terraguy), I doubt I'll ever make a concerted effort to mindlessly post enough to catch up. So I'm fine fighting for third with Swish.

Well, this one's 660. I expect to unleash Nyarlathotep to destroy us all and prove his point of view to Philemon in six posts. That or wake Cthulhu. :p

I hate to disappoint you, but unless you break out some crazy voodoo, not much is going to happen in 6 posts... I've been there and it wasn't hugely impressive!! :p

Have you forgotten that you reached the trip six just barely after Tales of Monkey Island was out? We're three episodes in now; the power of voodoo is much more potent now. MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Don't know. He/she is not advertising anything, not even on his/her profile. And at least his/her posts fit the threads...

Terraguy

I tend to find posters suspicious if they revive a 6 month old thread (longer than that, actually) with a practically useless comment, fire off a couple of other posts in topics that also don't make great sense (or contribute nothing to the conversation), and arbitrarily place links in their signature.

Swish
08-13-2010, 07:58 AM
Not to mention "people" who have posted on the forums several times since being accused of, well, not existing, but who have not even attempted to put forward a case to the contrary.

Terraguy
08-13-2010, 08:30 AM
Exactly. In fact, look no further than this person's newest 3 posts. Perfect example of what Swish and I are talking about.
