Basically, this is just an overview of good topics on the forums in the past week for you to check out, maybe get a kick out of them! Remember though there's no substitute for good forum browsing...

General Forum

Termination of AvalancheStudios.net hosting- Big news here; Avalanche Studios is closing their doors and that includes quite a few people's uploads. If you have shit on Avalanche, get it off asap and post in the topic.

gamesmasterjasper's Bullshit: An Inconvenient Gaming Truth- rogue/renegade games master Jasper joins the forums with a powerful look at gaming...can you handle the consequences?

Format Wars: Over- Toshiba, the creators and owners of the HD-DVD format, have officially dropped off the market, meaning Sony's Blu-Ray is most likely going to be the new disc format. This will have reprecussions no doubt, and you should discuss them on the forums!

Questions & Answers

[TELL] The funniest thing you've ever read on GW- Do you like to laugh? Apparently some of these clowns do...go back and see some of GW's favorite posts.

[TELL] Things that you hate- When the dog bites
When the bee stings
When I'm feeling sad
I simply remember my favorite things
And then I don't feel so bad

Welcomes & Farewells

Is this site still alive?- It's Rast, creator of the very popular Dragon's Destiny series. What's that guy doing back here??? Isn't he in the Navy???

Post 9/11 World

Poll: Peter Molyneux versus women- SB comes out of nowhere with a very stupid topic! What's going to happen in this ramshackle ride of rowdiness...

cross-genre jokes competitions- Jamicus is drunk again!!! Feat. Adeline, the Joke Master.

[NSFW] Emos: F*CK YOU! - Whoa...is this safe to put on the main site??? Matt.dk has some words to say bub...

Game & Demo

MAP DESIGN 026: Cozy House- What's this stuff...a contest for making maps? Show your skills gaijin...

[ADVERT]Super Banana Nababa  - Bisse and im9today prove they are too fucking good at smashing buttons fast and making shit look very nice.

[Full Game]Tales of Game's Studios Presents: Barkley Shut Up and Jam: Gaiden- Dated, but GW's best game release yet. Gotta show respect!

Video & Computer Games

Uncharted: Drake's Fortune - Haha, DS bought a PS3 and has to justify it with a ten hours game! Drama ignites this topic...

SSBB Discussion - USE SPOILERS FOR ANYTHING NOT REVEALED ON THE OFFICIAL SITE - I hate this topic and most of the 40 pages aren't worth reading but this game is almost out and all the Japanese stuff got leaked! Damn!

Patapon- Pata pata pata pon.

Film Media

The Oscars (updated with winners)- Self explanatory!

Book to Film Adaptations- The best example of a better film than book is Forrest Gump. The book is absolutely terrible. The movie's not my favorite but anything is better than that book.

GW Film Club - Week 2  - These nerds like watching movies together! Maybe you can watch them too!

Music

Your top 5 albums of 2007- Getting a weird amount of discussion for a topic made two months into 2008!

The Bedlam in Goliath- *throws cat at piano* *ruins a perfectly good guitar* *is the mars volta's new release*

Ghostface Killah!!!!!!!  - There's totally pictures of vaginas in this topic.

That's all for this week.

But wait I skipped a bunch of forums! That's where you come in. Obviously I don't go to every forum on GW, especially not the game and demo ones. If you see a good topic that you think needs more attention, drop me a PM and it will be on the next one of these roundups. Especially looking for someone who likes G&D stuff.

Enjoy the topics and remember............................games are not Games but Experiences-
