Hey there everyone!  Like with the AoTM thread, it's that time of month to start nominating the Classic Game of the Month.  For those who have never taken part of this before; basically you're nominating a game that you think everyone should play. 

There are some rules:

*All games nominated must be considered classic.  Anything beyond the Playstation 1/Nintendo 64/Sega Dreamcast/ Gameboy Advance aren't in this category.  Any PC games not considered Abandonware or found on GoG (with Diablo I and II, Starcraft, and Warcraft I-III being exceptions) are also not in this category.

*Games nominated must be obtained legally.  The downloading of games or torrents of games isn't something looked highly upon outside of Wintreath, and you actually can get in trouble (yes, you actually can).  The only exception to this rule is old console/handheld games, since those aren't looked at as strictly as someone downloading PC or newer console/handheld games.

If you need an idea of where you can obtain games, you can look here, but remember that you download at your own risk if it's not something that fits in the above criteria.

You can nominate any game that fits the criteria that you want people to play, and the chosen game will be the focus for the next month.

Happy nominating!

This is just to let everyone know that nominations will be closing on the 25th.  If there are no nominated games, then one will be chosen at random online.  So please be sure to get any nominations in!

I nominate Day of the Tentacle!

Done!  And that will be our game of the month as there are no other nominations.

You know, we should actually do something with the game of the month this month.

Whatever do you mean? 

You know, take some action involving the game of the month.

I'm still not completely following.  Explain in simple terms. 

Those ARE simple terms.

Okay, then be more descriptive.

You're the Acting Jarl of Culture...coming up with the details is your job.

If you're referring to making it something that everyone plays and talks about, that's what the thread is for.  For people who are playing to talk about the games they're playing and get others interested.

If you're talking about advertising it over in places such as the RMB, I could do that. 

Otherwise, I've no idea what you're referring to.    Really the only other idea would be to make those "Video game playthrough" videos where you play through a game and talk about it at the same time (you know, those things that are popular on Youtube), but I don't have the capacity to do those at the moment. 

I actually don't have any specific ideas...I was just noting that we seem to choose a game of the month and then we never hear about it again.

I see what you're saying.  I could find ways to start promoting it this time.
