Video Game Database Discussion / To the few users who are submitting edits to change [NA] games to [EU] games...
« on: October 28, 2014, 04:37:06 pm »
Stoooop doooooing thaaaaat. Please. If you want to add the EU version to the database, don't change the NA entry to reflect EU information (or vice versa). Make a new entry, it's not a duplicate.
I'm sure most, if not all of you know better, but I'm just publicly putting it here as a thing that has happened on the database several times in the past few days (the edits I'm talking about are from the past 2 days) by several members. I didn't think much of it before, but it really confused me today as it happened so frequently. For example, and I'm not pointing any names, a user submitted an edit to Dragon Ball: Raging Blast [NA]. It's a game that was released on the Xbox 360 and PS3 in NA and EU (as well as JP and AUS). Imagine my confusion when I saw this in the updates feed.
It makes someone who doesn't keep up on Dragonball games to think that it was erroneously added as NA when it was an EU release, or something. Something that made me have to double check Wikipedia and the Dragonball Wikia and stuff. Something that boggled my mind, and wasted my time. To make things weirder, there was already a [EU] version of it, so I have no idea what was going on here, and I'm getting tired of it, because the same thing happened for the releases of Tropico 4 on the 360, as well as the box art for Pokemon Emerald being incorrectly edited in the same timespan. All by different users.
I'm not trying to vilify anyone, I'm just really getting fed up with the quality of edits being made lately, especially ones made by newer members that haven't read the rules. So consider this a little rant, as well as a little change in ruling.
I'll be sending PMs to people who make these regional errors from now on. Over and out.

Marketplace / FS/T:Mortal Kombat II (SNES), Animal Crossing Wild World (DS), Pokemon, and more

Finally going to get around to sell some of my dupes.

I'd really like to trade, but I can sell the Pokemon games for $10 each, Animal Crossing for $10, Mortal Kombat II for $10, All of the Atari/INTV for $10 bundled, and everything else is open to little, cheap offers. Hit me up with a PM for more details! I live in Canada, and I do ship internationally.
If you're interested in trading, I should let you know that I'm interested in mainly Master System, Intellivision, Atari 2600, Game Gear, and NES.

Site Feedback / Vote to Remove - Lost & Found (SAT Homebrew); Vote to add New Category

These three Saturn games are, what appears to be, homebrew releases of prototypes games; released in extremely limited quantities at the CGE Expos in 2006. Due to the unofficial/homebrew nature of these games, and the fact that they were released in such a small quantity (no one knows/cares about these games), I vote that they be removed from the database rather than labelling them as Homebrew.
Why not label them as Homebrew, you may ask? Well, I for one don't like having Homebrew games mixed with Official Releases. It's like mixing Shrimp and Strawberries for me. Both are great foods, but when I eat them around the same time, it makes me nauseous. So can we please get categories such as "Sega Saturn - [Homebrew]" to go alongside categories like "Sega Saturn - [NA]" and every other system? Not only will it encourage users to add more Homebrew games, it'll make things a lot easier on major nitpickers like me.
Thanks in advance,

Why does Hexen have oodles of cumulative awards on his account and I don't? :c Matt, you should make it so that everyone gets cumulative awards... or at least just for me
