The "General Games Chat" forum, which includes Retro Game Reviews, has been archived and is now read-only.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.
Ok, here are some guidelines to assist you in fitting in with the folk at SR.
Follow them and you will find endless hours of chatting and potential free games/movies.
Ignore them and...*shrugs*...it'll be like the last 4 days, only worse.
----------
1. DO NOT COPY REVIEWS
You will get found out. And to copy a review means you are a hack writer and a big nancy that probably wears dresses.
Use your own thoughts and feelings, a review should give a personal comment on the game. To copy is to rip someone off that has spent a while actually being creative and imaginative. Therefore you are neither by simply ALT C + ALT V.
SR employ a crack team of checkers, and some regulars seem to spend their time checking reviews, so you WILL get found out.
2. USE CORRECT GRAMMER, SPELLING ETC
It's not hard. Most of us have been able to do it since we were at primary school. This is not a mobile phone screen, and txt spk is rlly annoying.
M8.
When the primary method of communication is writing, to fall back on lazy typos and quick-spelling shortcuts highlights a lack of schooling and a general defecit in social skills.
3. THIS IS NOT A CHAT "UP" ROOM
Female gamers are a rarity enough, but when some tree-dwellers crash in and start asking for phone numbers and addresses, you are scary and probably a deviant.
We have some girls here, and they have weathered initial "Hey baby" comments to become accepted.
So leave them alone and, for chrissakes, your already on the net - go look at porn.
4. DO NOT COMPLAIN ABOUT PEOPLE WINNING GAD
They worked hard and got lucky, you didn't. Deal with it.
It's even in the rules "No complaining, nobody likes a whinger".
Just accept the fact that you didn't win that day, so next time try harder.
5. DON'T EVER QUESTION STAFF OR NOTABLES
Because we'll ban your monkey-ass in a millisecond. Especially Snuggly - he's a demon.
Although he does have nice hair and uses cologne.
6. CONSOLE WARS ARE RUBBISH
They are consoles, they are unable to partake in war of any kind. These conversations have been done to death, spin an angle to make it interesting.
7. POST CRAP AND GET ELECTED NOTABLE
Hey, worked for me.

These are not rules, these are guidelines.
Not every newbie is a windowlicker, and not every Notable is a wise-man.
Tony, Snuggly, Loki and Bob are the leaders.
Obey them.
(except for Snuggly, he's a punk)
Follow them and you will find endless hours of chatting and potential free games/movies.

Good, go get 25 bags of caster sugar and bring them to the only Ant colony that lives in a dense forest in the Phillipines. ;)
Nope, we can't ban people. However, we do have our sources...

Also some recent newbies have started putting crap at the bottom of every post. It is really anooying. Someone called Tazz in the Sont forum had about 3 different signatures at the end of his posts....Really childish if you ask me...Interesting that I dont remember people being hostile towards me when I was a newbie..Probably got scared by the name....

Jese, you still in the Phillipines Ant? I thought you would have left there by now...
(Yeah, and I thought I would have stopped talking to you a looongg time back.)
Well, you talk less now. About 9/10ths of the people on here don't even know who you are anyway.
(Yeah, it sucks.)
