Exploding Garrmondo Weiner Interactive Swiss Army Penis - [Attention] GFF Gamers Month ver. 2

Hey Guys, its that time of year again in which we can take a little bit of time out of our lives to speak of a certain game we all have a particular passion and dedication towards.

To the new and old members of GFF that were not a part of this event last year; basically the GFF Gamers Month is an event in which each member selects one game and gives their review on it. It can be anything from your personal experiences about the game, how you obtained the game, what you loved about the game, or even any funny stories that came as a result of playing it.

It should be a little easier to manage the Gamers Month this time around, because of the success of the original.

First of all, the GFF Gamers month will be in the Month of March as per discussions with Skills and Acerbandit instead of May. One of the problems we had with doing the GFF Gamers Month in May is that some members had exams during the time it was hard to find a date that corresponded with their school schedule.

I'm hoping that doing the GFF Gamers Month in March should avoid that problem.

Here are the rules:

1.) People sign-up

2.) Each member selects one date in the Month of March ( I don't think we'll have any problems getting the entire month filled up, but on the off chance that all the slots are not filled out, anyone can volunteer to do two games if they wish.)

3.) You send me a PM, of your primary choice of what game you would like to review and a secondary choice of a game, just in case your game may have been already taken.

4.) If two people end up picking the same game, The person that has sent their PM first will have priority over that said game; thus the reason why each person needs to send a secondary choice.

5.) Once the Month of March starts, a separate thread will be created that will just have each person's game review and nothing else. Pretty much the event will be a two thread approach. One thread will have each person's game review, and this existing thread will be used for any discussions about any of the games mentioned.

6.) When it comes time for your review on your specified day. There is really no set format or any rules pertaining to what game you may want to review. It can be a very popular game or a very obscure game; that is totally up to you. If your unsure of how to write your review you can check THIS THREAD out if you need any ideas:

But overall your game review should at least have these:

1.) Title of Game
2.) Picture of the Game (Box/Case Art)
3.) Publisher & Release Date
4.) Brief History
5.) Brief Review
6.) Some of your personal experiences with the game, such as favorite boss fights, wtf moments, or any other funny stories that have come with this game.
7.) Conclusion

7.) Above all else, Have fun

With doing this event for the second year, I do have a few concerns I would like to address.

I am of the sound mind that if it's not broke don't fix it. I thought the event last year went a lot better than I expected, but I do want to keep ideas open if there are any changes people would like to see to the event this year.

One concern I have is should members be allowed to review a game that was already reviewed during the first GFF Gamers Month.

For Example: Qwarky reviewed ICO last year, but lets just say if another member wanted to review that game this year as well. I know that if you get a bunch of people playing the same game obviously each person is going to have a different opinion or perception on the game that they're playing. I feel pretty positive out of the 30 games we reviewed last year people probably picked games that someone else eventually wanted to do a review on.

Personally, I would like it if everybody picked a completely different game this year. This is not set in stone, I want to see what the community as a whole has to say about this.

The other concern, I had is if there are any themes anybody would like to do for the Gamers Month this year. Skills had briefly mentioned that maybe we could do a Gamers Month for games between 2000-2009. I'm not necessarily against that, I would personally like to keep it open to all games. As I said before, I want to know what the community as a whole feels about this.

I'll set up the sign up sheet, and I think its better for guys to tell me which date work best for you instead of me giving you a date like last year:

This Is Very Important: You guys can go ahead and let me know which date you would like to do your game review. I would like it, if you could hold off sending your PM for your game choice until the start of February because I want to make absolutely sure that all issues have been addressed for this years GFF Gamers Month, but if you feel confident that nothing should change about this years GFF Gamers Month you can go ahead and send me your primary and secondary game choice

I'm open to all suggestions and ideas for this event. Always remember that an event is only as good as the time and effort that people put into it. I'll try to address any questions.

Take Care Guys.
