The Other Worlds Shrine

Your place for discussion about RPGs, gaming, music, movies, anime, computers, sports, and any other stuff we care to talk about... 

  • Special Note: As soon as Warcraft III is released and the Battle.net servers are up and online, it will officially turn into a multiplayer game, and posts need to be put into Online GT.

  • Because playing them is not enough, we have to bitch about them daily, too. We had a Gameplay forum, but it got replaced by GameFAQs.

<div style='font: 11pt "Fine Hand"; text-align: left; '>I seem to recall the Star Craft fiasco here. Most of you were playing single and posting here. Multi-players were at Online. Sine said - NO! All single SC players must post at Online forum - REGARDLESS!</div>

<div style='font: 11pt "EngraversGothic BT", "Copperplate Gothic Light"; text-align: left; '>One, this has always been my rule because strategy for a single-player game may benefit somebody playing in multi-player, and conversations are too easy to flip-flop into single or multiplayer mode. (Besides, it's a hard call on whether a post is a "single player" post, or a "multi player" post, so just put the predominately "single player" games in one forum, and the predominately "multi player" games in another.)

Two, Online GT needs posts.</div>
