I feel like if you just gave us the titles in text format it would be a lot easier to take in than a WALL OF COVER ART. Sure, the latter is prettier, but without the former it's slower to take in the information you're trying to share.

I will totally vouch for Cosmo Police Galivan.

I have also tried to give Bashi Bazook: Morphoid Masher a go, but it's not quite as good.

I don't blame you! Video game cover art can totally rival old vinyl art! I appreciate them in spoilers too because you get this, "BAM!" effect that is both dramatic and awe inspiring

I like the pretty pictures.

And the best sidescrolling ARPG ever is Exile.

And I'm a grognard who browses on my phone too much. I tend to like your suggestions, but I really wish I had some text entries before the spoiler so I know what I'm getting into. That way I can quickly take in the core info right up front.

What Marurun is getting at, is something he gets onto me about fairly regularly. He doesn't like large pictures or animated gifs in posts. He says this is because it negatively affects the experience of smarpthone users browsing via limited cellular bandwidth. However, it does not negatively effect the experience of laptop and desktop users browsing with unlimited internet. I try to compromise by using spoilers, but the new forum loads images behind spoilers, even if you don't open the spoiler.

So what would I do on a smartphone with limited data? Well, Safari and Chrome users alike can disable images from automatically displaying in the preference settings. Furthermore, the ability to install apps which keep your browser from loading an image, unless you explicitly say to do so, exist. I would consider these options, rather than try to cull graphics from users' posts. That would make one's overall internet experience easier on one's data plan, not just dealing with Exhuminator's goofy posts.

Think I made a topic a while back for great box art.

I use Opera for mobile browsing, which allows for compressed image data. I save a lot of data usage that way.
