I'm not sure what to call the thread, heh. "Downloadable games" seems a bit too broad. I'm thinking more along the lines of games for small portable devices (such as iPods, phones) but calling it "downloadable games" would also end up covering the PC games you can download off Yahoo. Even "Portable downloadable games" would be a bit too much as it could go into things like GameBoys and PSPs ...

Anyone fancy a thread to list their New Year resolutions? Which we could revisit occasionally to rejoice in our triumphs or mourn our disasters.

Go ahead and start the New Year's Resolutions thread in the community section.

Cheers!

I've got two ideas for new threads, both in the Snarkfest Community section. One might bring the drama llama, though, so modly advice would be appreciated.

The first is non-controversial - just a thread on differences between the UK, US, Oz, NZ, Canada and everywhere else. There's such a culture divide that you can usually keep a good discussion going for ages. There's a similar thread on TWoP, if anyone wants toi see what I'm talking about (though that's primarily focused on explaining things in the UK to people from other countries.) No idea what to call it, or I'd have started one already.

The my other (potentially troublesome) idea for a thread is one on "Confessions" - what you've done in the past that you really shouldn't have. I'm a bit concerned it could spark arguments, though.

I kind of have my reservations about a Confessions thread, but I'll go with whatever the rest of the mods decide. The cultural differences thread might be fun in the Community section.

I agree with spidey about the confessions thread. I think it's just asking for trouble. Interesting idea though.

My first instict is also that a Confessions thread might be trouble, but I definetely think a culteral differences thread might be fun, so I'd say go ahead and start that up when you want.

My two cents about a Confessions thread - they can be a lot of fun, and not necessarily problematic. Example: someone might ask "What's the worst thing you ever did as a kid? And did you get away with it?"

Perhaps we could have one, and if it gets dramatic, shut it down?

I'm going to start a Cultural Differences thread now - thanks for the input!

Because it's never too early to start getting excited! I can't remember where we put this last year - does the Eurovision Song Con-*test*-('") go in Music or Television?

I think it was put under Television psammead.

Cheers, leone.

I just thought "that shite is NOT music, dammit". It's really all about the spectacle these days isn't it?

It would go in television, because like Leone said, it's more about the spectacle then the music. Because nothing will ever top My Lovely Horse, so why should they bother trying?
