I understand that we don't want to put more work on the mods. I honestly do, but since GMVs made with games from Japan are allowed on this site, there should be a place to discuss them. Technically, following the site's definition of anime, you could just talk about video game in the anime thread. Either way, I like the idea of getting more discussion on games going on because I feel it may help with getting people to make more GMVs on this site. I feel like games are really underused here because there is, naturally, a larger focus on regular anime.


Well nobody talks about games in the anime section because it's just that. An ANIME section. People want to talk about ANIME in the ANIME section so of course people would talk about GAMES in a GAME section.

What you are saying makes sense but you pretty much reiterated the reason for this thread. Which is why it makes sense.

I think you fail to realize that on the Org certain games are considered anime. That's why we're allowed to upload videos with them here. If you guys want games to be discussed in the anime thread, make it a normal thing and start posting thread about games in the anime thread. That way there is no problem about not having a game thread.

As for the donator's forum being the place that games can be discussed, I think games that the Org classifies as anime are On-Topic for the reasons already listed above.

I don't think there's much to talk about Org-able video games alone without considering it "pointless," otherwise most of whatever else can be talked about that isn't "pointless" can be posted in threads already created, though I think most people overlook this. And whatever is pointless and/or non-Org-able video games can be discussed in the Donator's forum.

With all the pointlessness that goes on in anime series discussion I really wouldn't see the harm in letting Japanese style video games get a thread, or a sub forum in there.

No it didn't fail to realize that. What you fail to realize is that people would rather talk about ANIME in the ANIME section instead of GAMES. If there were a GAMES section then people would be more likely to talk about GAMES in the GAMES section. Didn't you think that there was a reason that nobody talked about GAMES in the ANIME section?

I understand that anime is Japanese animation, so you would only want Japanese video games discussed, but there are people who use non-Japanese video games in their GMVs, so would it really be that bad to just let people talk about any video game?

However, the GMVs with non-Japanese video games are not entered into the Org's catalog, unless it contains 50% (or was it 51%?) of sources that's considered anime by the Org's definition.

I was thinking of suggesting the same thing, actually. But due to my job I'm not into video games as much as I was a few years back.

The pointlessness exists because we all want to talk about the show, but we are incapable of keeping a proper discussion going after the show has ended.

Hasteroth, all LA's getting at is that under the org definition, Japanese video games are considered anime, and thus would be appropriate in the anime section.

Yes and Ishbalan already started that. I think I'll push it and keep it going.

But a sub-forum would be nice.
