Petition for a "Video Games Lounge" subforum. - IT'S LIVE - Page 7  

I am an ocassional gamer, and I don't mean casual gaming. I have I think over 150 hours in oblivion. Anyway, I am not sure if the sun forum is merited. I agree that it may help curb the number of new threads about gaming headphone, but does it deserve a sub forum. We don't need a thread to be started every time a new game comes out. This is after all, not a gaming forum. The same arguments could be given for creating a sub forum for Movies, Or TV shows.

I think gamers and headphones go hand in hand to some degree, so I see it being a common talking point. However, I think the amount of video game talk here is fine, but borders on excessive. Creating a place for it will likely cause it to expand. I would say move the video game talk away from head-fi, but honestly I think I rather just push it into a corner (sub forum).

So after thinking too hard about it, I vote yes. I also Realize that my vote doesn't actually count for anything, and I therefore have spent an unnecessary amount of time thinking about the question.

When people, well at least people I know game, they use Skillcandy In-ears, I'm not going to call them IEM's as they are not worthy of that title. WE MUST CONVERT MOAR!

Mad Moxxi music on borderlands was sweet... bass galore :)

Definitely would be nice to discuss headphones and COD, GOW & Halo all-in-one (I used to be an extreme gamer all Halos and CODs I was a beast, still am lol). And even when you look at it Beyerdynamic & Sennheiser offer gaming headsets along with the Turtle Beaches & Astros which offer the 5.1 and 7.1 experience so why not have a dedicated thread to discuss them.

I would love to get a Final Fantasy discussion thread going.

Played through silent hill and got all the endings this weekend....Dear Video game Developers of this generation, Why can a game made in the 90's scare the piss out of an entire room of people yet every "horror" game made after 2000 has been as scary as a panda bear in a well lit room filled with bamboo and fluff. -Sincerely, the people who pay for your games to get scared but end up horribly disappointed and realize that the actual Buying of the game is scarier than the game it's self in fear of being disappointed.

Yeah, but I only realized that after I put it up. Cool, huh? 

Two of my favorite series right now are the EarthBound and Castlevania games. Old school, baby! Really cool and inspiring for me. Makes me act smarter.

Hey!  What about the RE remake for the Gamecube and Silent Hill 2 & 3?  But, I get what you're saying.  I can still play Final Fantasy 7 and still be engrossed in that game.  The Final Fantasy games haven't been really good since X in my opinion.

Yeah. Graphics only mean so much and besides you can make it look better with emulators. I actually still own the original three disks.

That reminds me, I've yet to play Final Fantasy Tactics this year...

A terrific game with an even better story.  I still have my original copy.

I could discuss PC game music too, if you'd like.

Cannon Fodder (wait, that's an Amiga game!), TFX, MechWarrior 2, Unreal, Outcast...I could keep going, given enough time.

I'd even add Star Control II to the list of PC games with excellent music, but as it turns out, I prefer the 3DO remixed soundtrack set by default in UQM. (Especially the HyperSpace remix. What an earworm...)

I vote... Yes!
