[Attention] GFF Gamers Month ver. 3

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 over the last two years; 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. I understand that forum activity has died down significantly but I still think we have more than enough people to cover every day for the event.

First of all, the GFF Gamers month will be in the Month of March.


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.

SUBJECT TO CHANGE

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.) NEW RULE: When choosing your game try to pick a game that has been released to most markets. Do not pick a game that has just had a Japanese release in which a European and North American release is still waiting to come out. It is okay to review an import game as long as its game from a previous generation of consoles, or will never have a release to North America or other specific areas.

For example, doing a review for Terranigma or Policenauts is perfectly okay. I however do not want to see a review for the third birthday (Parasite Eve 3) especially since it is a game that is released in Japan now, but has not made its way to North American or European shores.

8.) Above all else, Have fun

With doing this event for the third 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.

The major concern I have is something one of the moderators brought up and that is one of problems with putting every game review in one thread is that the thread becomes so picture heavy and slow it does not make it very convenient for people to go to a certain review.

Would everybody feel it would be best if we could create a sub-forum for GFF Gamers Month and put the reviews in there instead of putting them in a single thread if that would make it a lot more convenient for other people.

As far as I know that is the only concern I have. I am always open to hear any other suggestions for this event.

I'll set up the sign up sheet and just let me know on the thread which date you would like.

(game confirmed): The member has their game selected and a pm has been received.
finished: Review has been written for that members said game.

This Is Very Important: You guys can go ahead and let me know which date you would like to do your game review. Send me your first and second choice. I do recommend that you write your review ahead of time to save the trouble of hunting people and their review down on their specified day.

Be sure to check the last two GFF Gamer Months to see which games have already been picked.

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.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

EDIT: Disregard!

Let's see if I bother with mine this year (gunning for it)

How ya doing, buddy?

How convenient, I was just thinking about this a couple of days ago. I'll take March 24th. Expect my game choice by March 21st.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

YEEHAW LET'S ROCK AND ROLL BOYS

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

March 9th, please! <3 gamers month

I was speaking idiomatically.

I'll take March 22nd! I'll let you know my game choice when I think of something worthwhile.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Sweet, one of these again. I'll go for the middle of the month: March 16th. Expect my game choice in a week or so?

Most amazing jew boots

Is this my favorite forum event?



I'll take St. Patrick's Day (17th)!

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

There's a perfectly good reviews forum already you know, why not use that?

I'll have a date towards the end of the month, as I'm away on holiday until the 15th.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I'll take the 13th.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Hey I'll do it this year! Sign me up for the 10th.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Same old day. The 15th. Hope I can figure out my choice by then too.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Give me the third. I wanna get my whack game and the VERY EASY jokes out of the way first. And, for the record, I'm not picking Bayonetta.

How ya doing, buddy?

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Damn, beat me to it Worm. Only thing though is Mother 3 was only briefly mentioned in that one review but it ended up leading into Xenogears.

I'll take the 19th, now I've just gotta figure out what game to do it on.

FELIPE NO

Derp. I'm stupid. Fixed; thanks.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

I like to have a ringer for the endgame. Calling the 31st to bring the pain.



WHAT YOU KNOW ABOUT DYIN'!?

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I call the 5th.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

This was good fun for the last two years, so I will be in again. The 4th would be a good day for me. PM on its way soon.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

I disqualify myself for still not having done the one I said I would do for last year. I've got footage sitting around somewhere but oh the laziness.

Well, I look forward to what you guys come up with. =)

How ya doing, buddy?

I don't want to fully commit yet, just expressing interest to participate before you fill up. The game I intend to do has hardly any youtube content to draw from, meaning I'll probably have to run through it myself to get screen captures and refresh my memory. Which is a little daunting. I'd probably like as much time as possible, I'd tentatively call the 30th.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Hey guys, just a little update.

I'll be heading out of town for the next week and I probably won't be back until the 15th of February. I'm heading back to my hometown for a change of scenery and hopefully some well deserved stress relief. My internet will very little to none at all.

I have received all messages that have been sent to me so far. Spread the word and lets see if we can get a few more slots filled out. I'm looking at you OmniSlash124, Mo0 and Tails.

Keep sending me those game requests; so far everybody's choice for their game is good. Rychord I got your message and I'll get back to you when I get back home. Things have been hectic.

I think we are going to create a sub-form for this event to avoid the problem of having a picture heavy main thread. So that will be created when the first review is ready to go up.

In the meantime guys, I'm going to leave skills in charge until I get back(OH GOD, WHAT HAVE I DONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!).

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Yeah, PM me and I'll update the OP as needed, also forward all your game names to Angel for when he returns~

FELIPE NO

I'll take the 11th?

How ya doing, buddy?

Ooh, nice to see that somebody remembers me even though my activity on this board has been lacking. Sign me up for the 25th.

I think my first choice game will be taken already, and for once it's not Fire Emblem.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
