You might also want to mention this...

This thread isn't featured?....shame on you.

Yay, moving up to twins. Still just as many douchey blond guys in these mint commercials though. Maybe that was a thing in the 80s, where the aspirational advertising experts assumed everyone wanted to be Aryan.

Glad to see my blog featured again, and I didn't even need to ask.

@Video_Game_King: And you're running out of blog commentors....with two flopped blogs in a row the pressure is on.....get dem commentors back!

@Video_Game_King: I'm a pretty big Battlefield fan and seeing that you didn't play the main part of the game (the multiplayer) I just had to comment....however I was too quick to comment as I forgot the music!....so here is another one to make up for it.

@ZombiePie: I actually managed to churn out a SID-licious entry recently. And I may even put another one up today, almost as if I'm going to do it weekly like I said I would! (audience gasps)

@ZombiePie: Thanks for featuring my blog!

Thanks for including my review.

@Video_Game_King: It was pretty cool cause you got a free game.

@Video_Game_King: It was chessmaster so no.

Yessss 5 Star Kirby Mass Attack review. I've been meaning to write one myself but let it be known that I second TehFlan's opinion

Thank you for the continued support.

After putting it off for the longest time I finally fixed up the NBA Jam (2010) page....this page was an absolute mess before I came in and added a ton of content and fixed some major formatting problems....guess its good enough to deserve a spotlight.

Congrats Everyone! Thanks ZombiePie for spotlighting Sothe's page.

@ZombiePie:

Why the sudden shift to Fire Emblem? Are you running out of real world leaders?

Sorry about that. All I know is Fire Emblem due to low variety of games I owned that gives a lot of information, and plus, I'm just a character specialist wiki editor.

@Unknown_Pleasures:

Your NBA Jam page looks awesome with its detailed game play and an excellent table for the teams.

@Video_Game_King: Too bad no one reads guides though.

@Video_Game_King said:

@takashichea: I wasn't talking about you; I was talking about the links to my username. I'm a huge fan of Fire Emblem, so more Fire Emblem info on the site is awesome. (I'm slowly working on filling out the Tear Ring Saga wiki.) The only downside to your pages (just judging by the Sothe one) is that you probably shouldn't put player advice in there. That's a bit subjective and more fit for a guide than a wiki.

It's still valid information, though.

@Unknown_Pleasures:

Wasn't really talking about this site's guides specifically, but yea, it sucks that guides kind of died out.

@Hailinel:

Again, though, the wiki isn't really the place for player advice, since that can be such a subjective thing. It's one thing to say that bosses like Giygas and Saruin are vulnerable to certain status ailments; it's another to recommend that as a valid strategy. Besides, I think a similar conversation was held about the Metal Storm page a while back.

If we're talking about character-specific details, then that sort of information fits in the character pages.

@Hailinel:

Wait, what are we talking about? I feel like we should clarify. I'm just against the page saying, "This is how you use Sothe. Don't use him like this, because he's not very good at that." That type of thing is just too FAQ-y.

@Hailinel: @Video_Game_King: This is not the place for this.

Also player information that read like a guide is not something we encourage

How? It's just advice on how to use him effectively. That sort of information is very specific to the character and to games like Fire Emblem in general. There's no specific guideline as to what information is or isn't appropriate for character pages (aside from no porn).

See if I got this straight:

Biography/description = Awesome

Powers, skills, in-game data = okay?

"Yo, you should hit him in the mouth and then on the big band-aid everyone" = not okay?

But like ZP said, probably not the place. So in this place instead is a thing I did for the Tested Octoberkast. For the kids! Not attention! Maybe a little of both!

@ZombiePie: Do you only post links tot blogs and reviews and stuff if people link them here? Because I'd rather earn a mention rather than post a link here to anything I produce.

If I only went by the stuff people recommend the Spotlight would be barren. I include stuff that I think is cool as well. Also always provide links.

I did a massive amount of work on the Aliens versus Predator 2 page, and I'm not done with it yet. What I've got so far is pretty substantial.

@ZombiePie: Thanks again ZombiePie! As a thanks, here's episode 13 :P

http://www.giantbomb.com/profile/chavtheworld/the-mighty-electronic-box-episode-13-191011/30-87350/

This is a little something I'm working on, I don't know if it's "showcase worthy", I'll leave that up to everyone else, but I figured getting it out there might help make it showcase worthy. Ok, so it's probably not, but I might as well try and get it what attention I can, right?

I'd like to submit my first blog here on GB, Casting Call: The Assassin's Creed Movie. It's probably the only one I'll do for this site because I'm too occupied with Screened stuff to write over here.

Might as well plug my usual crap.

You asked for it, duder...

@Video_Game_King: @Hailinel: @ZombiePie:

I apologize for this. I understand that subjective content should be avoided, but I tried to include the collective opinion of other players into the "overall" header because that is all their strategies along with a few things that I picked up in my playthroughs. If that is not allowed, then it is not allowed, and that is the end of the story. I have actually been planning on making in-depth character guides for the Fire Emblem characters, though...when I figure out how to make guides...

Either way, I apologize again because the last thing I want to see is people arguing in the comments. I will go delete the "overall" headers straight away. I'll try to be more careful in the future.
