The "General Games Chat" forum, which includes Retro Game Reviews, has been archived and is now read-only. You cannot post here or create a new thread or review on this forum.
Does it make more sense to put stuff like that in Prime, even if it isn't a lengthy post, or a discussion point?
I only ask as I seem to have lost the ability to judge for myself.
If it's really interesting news about the PS2 or XBox whack it in Prime, because clearly it affects the future of gaming therefore is important. Because it's in Prime there is no need to duplicate the post as the interest that it will generate will automatically spawn more topics in the PS2 forum anyway.
If it's really interesting news about Nintendo keep it to yourself, as anyone likely to read it would have trouble reading anyhow, therefore may miss the point being made.

The thing is, I'm having trouble deciding which of my posts are guff.
For instance Mario Kart: The Movie, did that belong here?
How about my scoop on Nintendo's latest game, Cat Burglar?
I just don't know anymore?
I think that it's so busy in this particular forum now that only polls really last any time. Ask a quick question, see what happens.
Surely that means that any newbies that post anything decent, as they can't post in Prime, will have thier message die, as it's not really in keeping with a chat thread.
But they have the console specific forums to post in if they want too.
Hmmn.

Ah, brain! Nice to have you back. Nice tan.
(Yeah, don't touch me. Where's Roger Moore?)
He escaped.
(Damn it. I bought back his accessory pack too. There's a safari outfit in there somewhere too.)
Cool. Never mind, I'll just keep that. Why did you go to Spain in the first place anyway?
(Friend of mine got married, and yeah, it was lovely. I'm jetlagged, shut up.)
Fair enough.
In Prime I either prosthetisize eloquentially regarding the subject matter or make concise points and objective arguments aliterating to the ideas and objective viewpoints in the appropriate discussion, with particular emphasis on the topics orbiting the conceptualisation of The Future of Gaming.
I post in chat about 98% of time and prime for 2%...
You decedie which ones better for gaming discussions ;)
A post that will spark a good discussion about something gaming related should go into prime but nothing too short, maybe a paragraph or two at least.
Anyting else sould really go in here.
