Post Your Favorite Forum Topics Here

Post by racketboy »

I'm just going to try this as an experiment...

Since the forum is getting busier as the months go by, I thought it might be cool to have people share links to forum topics that they think are especially interesting.
Sometimes I end up missing good conversations because the topic names don't seem interesting or something.

I'm thinking I might start featuring some of the best ones in my Twitter and Facebook feed to get more attention.

If you could, post a title (and maybe a description) with the link.

And please don't abuse this by trying to promote your own topic/question just so you can get a response. Let's keep this to threads that have solid conversation going.

Thanks!

I found this thread interesting. Sure it ended a while ago but still some good stuff to read.

Even though I never won I love the Name that Game contest. I learned and discovered retro games I never knew existed, plus they are fun to watch unfold. Here are all the Rounds:

Thank J T. Some of your posts too, articulate, thought provoking, always a good read.

The latest one, I still can't add a good enough intelligent response up to this writeup.

Perhaps some of the larger reply threads? Video Game Finds of the Day one of the best.

The Henry Grik thread holds a special place in my soul.

The threads I am most active in are probably my favorites.

The "what are you up to lately?" threads:

The last movie seen: http://www.racketboy.com/forum/viewtopi ... =15&t=7221

The last game finished thread: http://www.racketboy.com/forum/viewtopi ... 44&t=14967

The Games Beaten: 2010 thread: http://www.racketboy.com/forum/viewtopi ... 15&t=18573

Snickerdoodle's Summer Challenge thread is a recent favorite as well: http://www.racketboy.com/forum/viewtopi ... 15&t=22116

I also like the threads which connect the community such as the Post a Picture of Yourself thread and the online ID threads; I think the Texas meetup thread could set a good precedent (depending on how it turns out, maybe we could try a PA one? A GA one seems only appropriate as well...).

Outside of those, for recent stuff I like JT's deals threads, Hobie's shipping weight guide and AC adapter guides, Bacteria's project threads, and any threads that recommend games for less popular platforms (e.g. NGPC, iPhone, Jaguar, Odyssey, etc.). Ah hell, I like most of the threads here :D

(Also, I think we should do a huge feature on Ryan's Saturn 2 thread)
