My faith in the good posters of this thread to be able to chat about games without devolving into masturbating about non gaming topics remains unshaken. Much like the Guardian in FF3(6 over in Japan) I am immovable until Kefka's Tower.
I'd actually prefer people not masturbate about gaming topics either. I think even Horny King Edgar from FF3 (Edgar no Hentai in Japan) would agree.

Today I got my wisdom teeth removed. Without Shovel Knight, I probably would have wrote this day off as the worst of the year because I have felt horrible since I have had the surgery.

Seriously Shovel Knight is really good get it.
I hope you don't get a dry socket, but if you do, consider buying a Nintendo 3DS so you can take it to your oral surgeon's office with you. Get Kirby Triple Deluxe so you will have something pleasing and colorful to play while on painkillers.

- Good thread ideas that would add to forum
- Seems to genuinely care about Games

If it's a thread for people to just casually chat about games then there's no need to worry about missing vital stuff or info getting outdated like there is in the big mega-threads. If anything this thread has less reason to be closed and re-opened than most of the active threads in this forum.

Smaller chat threads are way more likely to attract new posters rather than a crowd of regulars. This is why the TG chat threads are way less bad than, say, the CD chat thread.

Leave it open. (Or, maybe: gas this thread, open a new one, and leave that one open forever.) Gotta let the memes simmer a bit, and having a chat thread prevents the sperg from flying all over the other threads.

Basically the only gas-worthy part of this thread is the constant suggestions that it be gassed. (Well, that, and Stux's posts.) Letting the thread go big isn't a problem because we don't expect/require anyone to read the entire thread -- and, in fact, you probably have a mental issue if you ever read more than a page or two of this thread at a time.
This is the better suggestion, really.

It's true, that's all Imp Zone is. That's every post in Imp Zone. I can't stop being ironically racist. Look at my post history. It's so racist, and ironic, also.
