if there's one thing I'm sick of on gaf it's threads where people arbitrarily list games with some insignificant connection. how is that discussion?
games named after antagonists
games with blue covers
games you remember right now
games that aren't games... but are
The way I see it, is that sometimes threads like that can stir up memories, or make you think if anything in your collection matches the question of the thread. You are right in that generally, there isn't much "discussion", but instead just a bunch of folks spouting one liners and dropping their mics.
I don't mind them, honestly. Some of them can be fun.
To keep back in fighting game related talk, this was posted in the KI thread, but I thought it was neat:

Basically, Kerri Hoskins, who was Sonya Blade in MK3, is doing the mocap for Maya in Killer Instinct S2. It's cool to see her still doing mocap for fighting games.
