For the sake of the staff's sanity...

Perhaps a new rule, in addition to posting links?

"Do not suggest games unless you are asked by the players."

Realize how ridiculous things can get because of that. I sure know I'D eventually lose it.

[dafishies]

there would be too many ppl to ban and time out. and what about ppl who say "how was *insert game title here* brad??" do they get to be kicked? not to be mean or anything but it's a little unrealistic especially since u'd have to read every post individually as for links its has a blue line and its bold and its got a .com at the end of it. Good idea though, I wish we could do something to keep out the inconsiderate noobs/spammers/ignorant jerks/gnomes/racists/jews(im jk )/ annoying people.

A good idea (though it might require a bit of an update on the 4PP's part) would be not to suggest games that EVERYONE knows they've beaten (Easy ones would be Fatal Frame, Condemned 1 and 2, and GTA IV)

Or especially, THE HOUSE.

An EXCELLENT spin on my suggestion, Grey. Would be pretty cool.

So what we'd need then is a total list of all the games that 4PP has beaten, and make it a rule not to suggest them.

Has a day gone by where the house isn't brought up again?

[slytman]

You know I don't think i've seen a day gone by where someone hasn't told one of the players to stop playing a certain game and play the house/ fatal frame/ GTA 4 and FEAR.

[tyson03]

Meh, what use would the list be? The only people who visit the forums are the ones who actually CARE about the pod cast. There's no point unless it's posted directly on the front page, lol...

And even then, I'm sure there'd still be a huge sum of people who'd scream these things out...it's just something we have to deal with.

Weekly Spam Census, How Much of the "PLAY THIS GAME" Is What
__________________

Fatal Frame 40%

The House 40%

GTA 4 25%

and the spam for Oblivion has died down at a mere 5%


*NOTE: Spam like "PLAY A SCARY GAME" was not taken into consideration, as they are non specific.

sounds like a good idea to me

QFT, it will not be as funny as they want it to be since Brad pretty much knows all the upcoming scares.

Probably because people who ask him to play The House dont know he already got throught the game.

I blame youtube. All the idiots show up after watching 4pp stuff on there.

[shadowbolt]

True, YouTube may be an issue OF SORTS, but I wouldn't be as quick as so many others to immediately blame it for the whole thing. Some people are just plain ignorant.

But yeah - why not just make a list of all the games that 4PP finished, and/or isn't playing anymore, and post it (or a link to it, rather) on the main page? No, it probably wouldn't solve the problem indefinitely, but it sure as hell could help, if even only a little.

After all, it's not just the staff who has to deal with this, but the regulars as well.

i came from youtube but i was smart enough to notice when the video was posted and to realize that they may be done w/ the game but i'm tryin to find out why all of a sudden cthulu is being brought up in chat
