Best Wii U game (not this year);
Best 3DS game;
Best Sony console game;
Best MS console game;
Best PC game;
Best 'phone game;
Best gaming news site;
Maybe best "gaming physical object" - so new consoles would obviously count, but also things like Oculus Rift, or the Vitality Sensor (2014, folks.  You read it here first);
Most anticipated game of next year.

That may be too many though.  I think the top four and the last one would be the integral ones, and the others not so much.  Open to ideas!

Out of those, I'm thinking

Best Nintendo Wii, Wii U game not this year due to ZJ vote

Best PlayStation 3, 4 game, Game that came out on PS3/4 between Jan 1st 2013 - Dec 31st 2013, So Andy will be pleased as Flower came out in 2012 so I can't vote for it.

Best Xbox 360, One game, Same as above

Best Handheld & Mobile, I do think 3DS could have it's own vote but not to sure if VITA or Phones could though

Best PC & Other, Other being for those Mac users and there could be the case were something really good on a dead console comes out, got to vote for it somewhere

The Big one GNamer's Overall Game of the Year 2013, rules same as above

Most Anticipated Game of 2014, I would have one rule on this the game has to be confirmed for 2014. So no Uncharted, Halo 5, Zelda U, Last Guardian, Half Life 3.

That would be 7 which still sounds a lot but everything is covered.

Also it might not affect this year but might in the future. Last year Persona 4 came out on VITA, I think it was the highest rated game of last year. Some sites were kinda strange on this, it won there best VITA game award but wasn't considered in the GOTY award. As if I remember correctly basically they were saying it won the VITA award because it was the best thing you could buy for VITA which came out in 2012, but wasn't considered in GOTY of the year as it was a port and wasn't a game of 2012 and did represent 2012.

Well do you stand should you be allowed to vote for port's, HD version's of old games or just new games of the year (2013).

Wait a second....I thought Stu was just hosting the first GNamer forum awards?

He is! I've given up on the Golden Joysticks-esque idea, but Stu may feel that there's room for further awards to replace the obsolete ones (best staff member, most missed member, etc.).

Ahhh fair enough, I'm sure we can all discuss it when we have a time frame for that particular vote.

We will have to wait and see what awards Stu want's us to vote on.

That's basically what I said

unless ZombiU some how wins best Wii U game.

It might not win but I expect it rank high especially as there's a few folk on here that love it.

Is it possible to change the link format in the stylesheet? Links look exactly the same as the rest of the text unless you hover over it.

You weren't around for the dreaded linking of 2013, when Stu and I fiddled with the colours and everything in an attempt to make the links less invisible, and made the entire forum hideous as a result.  If you want us to have another go, we can, but your eyes may bleed.

Do you have access to the actual stylesheet on here (rather than just options in admin), as changing

Code:

a.postlink:link{
    text-decoration: none;
    color : #025b87 }

to

Code:

a.postlink:link{
    text-decoration: underline;
    color : #025b87 }

Would do the job.

I don't, no.

(takes a deep breath) STUUUUUUUU!

Oh, Christ. That old nightmare again.

Only I can do anything about this, and several aborted attempts last time due to not knowing exactly what to do almost buggered the entire forum. I really don't want to risk it a second time.  

It's mental that only the original creator has access to these options, they can't even be delegated to an authorised administrator who isn't a formatting chimp.

Is there any way to make it so that the forum doesn't stretch to fill as much space to the left and right of the page as humanly possible, but instead stops at a limit? I think it'd improve readability of posts when read on widescreen displays a lot.

No obvious way to do this, I'm afraid.  Sorry. 

Stu might be able to do it in CSS...  

Ah, not to worry, I'm still wondering how the forum sizes itself as resizing the window on a desktop browser does nothing! Maybe it's based on the resolution of your display.

Edit: It isn't, it does scale down a bit when I resize.

I have noticed there is nothing in the Gallery.
Oh, and is there a suitable ending of the link available on this board, that isn't blocked by LightSpeed Systems?

I don't even know what the gallery is for. Don't reckon it'd see much use either.

Stu or Balla can probably help with that second point.

There is nothing in there.
In fact, no one has a personal gallery except me, and my upload (simply the same picture as my avatar) is still requiring approval.

Eh, we don't use any of those functions here really - that'll be why it's empty.

Oh, so that's why. Then why is it viewable? (On NitroHack, the option to use the Gallery is turned on, but originally it was off.)
Was it, because, maybe the forum used it once and stopped using it?

Probably because Stu or Balla (our admins) didn't bother to turn it off, not sure really!

Just checked the Memberlist and I have one thing to say:
We'll never know exactly why.

Edit: Could someone please add a 'spammy', 'nyanland', 'useless shit' or 'spammy nyanland' or something onto the board please? Even maybe add a little nyan cat smily onto the board if it's called Nyanland.

I think the gallery function was initially added for anyone who wanted add their artwork (like myself) but I just ended up making a thread for it instead.

Oh, I see now.
Let's change the subject now.

So... How about that Breaking Bad? Pretty good right?

Erm... What's that? Might seem a bit of a noob question to you, but I don't know.
