Like cheats, you're now allowed to win GADs with copy & pasted walkthroughs. The only rule is that the original creator hasn't requested that you ask permission before using it.

I didn't even know we could do this until Vexxxed said it was okay (in the WLT), so I thought I'd make this public and hopefully we can all work together and win some GADs. I'll post a walkthrough this week. You lot decide amongst yourself who'll win next week. Then hopefully we'll have a nice little system going and everyone gets a piece of the action.

Cheers.

Well its on animecentral and its perhaps one of the greatest channels ever. Its so good its taken over my life. Everything seems to revolve around that channel.

Top gear on? Go to hell, i'm watching animecentral, i can watch a repeat later on.

Time to go to bed? no problem i'll stay up late or record it.

Brilliant movie i haven't seen or another episode of GITS SAC? I'll watch GITS thanks.

DAMN IT! i even have music from anime shows on radioblogclub. Gravity, steve contes living in the shell and i'm desperate to get more of the GITS OST. HELP ME!

Planetes is one of the greatest anime shows along with Cowboy bebop. Truly brilliant. A bit slow, granted, but its got so much decent meaningful stroy and morales discussed about life and space travel in general.

awww no fair :( I had Sky for almost 10 years then when we quit it they start showing more animes and even an anime channel. Theres a dedicated anime channel in Japan, they have versions in some eastern European countries and they're hoping to expand to the UK so that'll make 2 anime channels I dont have. *sigh*

how are you the only anime fan on the forum??

also are you not kind of contradicting yourself by having 3 copied walkthroughs ready to post.

It shows you do not object to the problem with copying them. More that you didnt know you could. Which annoyed you because someone won for not a lot of effort.

Am i wrong?

Yep. I'm more concerned for Freeola getting in trouble than the thought of winning GADs so easily. Cheats aren't copyrighted but walkthroughs are. However if we are allowed to win GADs for posting walkthroughs as long as we give links and credits then thats fine with me. I'm sure a lot of other people will want to start posting walkthroughs me included as it's easier than posting 20+ cheats.

Yes i agree it is easy, i post like 40 cheats, didnt win for it. I uploaded 35 the other day and they have not appeared. So it is frustrating and much easier to do a walkthrough in some sense.

But i guess all you can do it post what you believe to be good enough for a £30 voucher

Well, you could record it as the animecentral reruns the same 6 shows from 9pm to 6am with the last showing being the orginal with subs.

Naturally thats up to you, but i record it to be honest.

There was anime Network on propeller tv but that went off the air on janurary. Reasons aren't well known. But its folded.

No?

What a disappointment...maybe you can inform Freeola as well.

easy tiger, i wasn`t getting at you personally, your comment just saved me some typing ;)

it should be about earning a gad, not just lifting someone elses work.

i understand that walkthroughts are a LOT of work, so why not try and win in other ways? reviews or whatever. there are always game sites with available walkthroughs, or if you really want to do one then fair play, that`s more than worth the £30, but for a couple of mouse clicks? not so much.
