That's the thing for me. I know some people try to start the threads and throw out the "EXPLAIN WHY", but then 10 pages later it's nothing but a list of titles. That gives me nothing to work with, so I don't find these threads useful at all, or that fun when there's been a hundred of them.

One thing I've learned from participating in the Gamestop search thread is that the two Gamestops in the St. Roberts/Fort Leonard Woods area have nearly every game you could ever want in stock. I guess having a military base nearby really increases the quality of trade-ins. Also, IIRC the St. Roberts Walmart is the second-largest in the world.

I make a motion we start a thread titled, "How much did you spend today on gaming?" Ohh, the vanity!

I read your post as ^.

I could get behind a top ten teeth design patterns thread, whatever it means. I'm sure Julia Roberts would be mentioned.

I enjoy top 100 specifically, moreso than anything else, because it allows people to become familiar with more games of a type they already like. Think of them less as "top 100" and more of "post something that's good that's similar to the one I listed".

Like I said though, a title doesn't really give me anything to work with. Why is it good? What's it about? What was your experience with it? etc.
