Talk:Good Game (TV program)

message: I was thinking maybe there should be a simplified section for the 'Episodes'. I don't think details on every episode is appropriate to the nature of a encyclopedia article. Maybe a section saying what an episode of Good Game involves in general instead? Any ideas? Rol335 11:28, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I just finished the list of episodes section for Good Game: Pocket Edition, since this contain all the titles reviewed in series 9 if an episodes section was to be started and built in some non-algorithmically way then this table could be copied and spawn point reviews deleted.

message: Just wondering if anyone out there know if there is going to be another series starting sooner or latter. Loved this show considering it was really the only gaming show there was on Austrtalian TV. --MattyC3350 00:46, 2 August 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Any more series? 

message: I have been following the "Good Game: Game" through the show and there website. Was wondering if it would be worth putting up a bit more information about it on here. As to who they are running through, what was involved in the decision to make an "Office War's" game and so on. MattyC3350 (talk) 06:33, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

message: I intend to upload a larger version of the Good Game logo within the next few days. --Daneel (talk) 03:19, 9 November 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Note that per Wikipedia's Non-free content policy (criteria 3b), low resolution rather than high resolution images should be used for non-free (eg. copyrighted) content. So if you do upload a larger version, I wouldn't go beyond a horizontal width of 500px. And if you are Dr. Daneel, you might also like to read WP:COI.

message: Just suggesting, due to Jeremy Ray "Junglist" being a veteran of the show and now the whole controversy about his sacking, should we maybe create an article about him? --Victory93 (talk) 08:29, 3 November 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: If you can find sufficient reliable sources that should be okay. The only thing I would caution about would be that his article should not just be about him being fired, that's WP:UNDUEWEIGHT and WP:BLP1E, but also about his early life (raised in America, for instance) and pre-Good Game career. If someone starts it I'll certainly help out. Sanguis Sanies (talk) 09:36, 3 November 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: As per Sanguis Sanies, I'd be wary about making one based on material published recently - if there's stuff about him from prior to being fired, and there may well be, then it should be fine. - Bilby (talk) 09:52, 3 November 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Well then suppose any of you could start an article? --Victory93 (talk) 20:36, 3 November 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  An article about Jeremy Ray? 

message: I'm afraid I've had to remove a few new additions, but I'm bringing them here as it may be possible to source them, and clearly I wouldn't have the same concerns if they could be sourced. Specifically:
*Although Bendixsen comes from a non-gaming background, she was able to secure the hosting position due to superior presenting skills. - I'm concerned because it is unreferenced, and as I recall she claimed an RPG/MUD background on her first appearance. While not hardcore gaming by any means, "non-gaming background" seems inaccurate, and the "superior presenting skills" seems like original research.
*Widely considered to be the most popular host - Unsourced. Probably accurate, at least based on personal opinion, but I think these sorts of claims need support re WP:PEACOCK.
*As of November 2009 it has been announced that some reviews would be sourced from freelance journalists to help meet deadlines, with neither host required to actually play the game. - as it provided a date, this is probably accurate, but would need a reference.
: There's certainly a case for the show's writing being poorly researched. Practically everything 'historical' starts from 1990-- "..back in the good old days, when game background music started off, with the Gameboy and in games like Commander Keen, with their bleeps and bloops..."  (paraphrased). As a Commodore 64 and Amiga owner, I had to ragequit at the hack writing, and haven't watched the show since. 203.14.156.27 (talk) 15:17, 14 May 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: No problem at all. If I can track down any I'll add them as well. - Bilby (talk) 03:13, 13 November 2009 (UTC)

text: Feel free to add it if it is Well Sourced and Relevant, we are not campaigning to have it all removed, we are simply going to reintegrate it into the article proper, i.e: have it moved out of a section called "Controversy" (which is bad WP:NPOV and WP:MOS) and have it spread out into better sections (move the reaction about Junglist in the Junglist section, move info about the reviews into the review section, etc.). In fact if you wanted to you could add the information directly into the review section if you wished. Sanguis Sanies (talk) 07:47, 16 November 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  New additions 

message: I've noticed this article isn't much up to date. Can we please try to? 
And also if possible any pics of the hosts or the segments? I mean I've noticed few were removed earlier, maybe bring them back with the need copyright thing needed so they stay. --Victory93 (talk) 05:21, 25 July 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Up to date

message: SO this week the Half Life mod Black Mesa received 10 rubber chickens from both Bajo and Hex, does that warrant adding it to the list? I mean it's just a mod and not even a finished one at that but I feel like it warrants mention

message: It's actually much harder than you might think to get sources for this TV show... which is a shame because it is utterly brilliant and deserves an FA article. For that reason, I'm gathering together a bunch of usable sources for us to use in the article to make it awesome.--Coin945 (talk) 16:55, 20 April 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Sources 

message: This article seems to feel overdone. The page is filled with quotes that are unnecessary or could be summarised and some of the information feels absolutely needless. Another issue with me is the ridiculous amount of sections in the article. First of all, sections like Philosophy and Book feel as if they do not belong and could be removed to allow a more organised and spaced out page. Much of the articles sections aside from the aforementioned feels like it could be highly simplified into less sections that are quick to get to and don't take hours of reading. I'm not suggesting we turn the article back into the small one we once knew but we definitely need to make the article more spaced out, more simplified and get rid of a whole lot of needless quotes that dominate every section.

replies: text: Well I was the one that did the major overhaul of this article, and I'll be the first to admit it has major problems. But at least all the possible sources that could be used *are* already in the article, so it's just a case of zooming through and copyediting it to get rid of all the quotes and useless trivia. Are you up for the job?--Coin945 (talk) 07:59, 5 May 2014 (UTC)

text: I've done the first edit and right now it isn't complete and looks terrible. I'll continue to edit it tomorrow so it looks better. It may take a few days to edit the information though. 
Sendator (talk) 11:22, 6 May 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: I don;t see a problem with reducing some of the quotes - I'm not generally big on them - and there does appear to be an overuse of non-free images. But I'm not inclined to delete content wholesale, unless there was a more serious problem such as a copyright violation. Perhaps we should look at each section individually and discuss the content? - Bilby (talk) 13:54, 7 May 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: If no one has tried already, I would suggest emailing the publicity people and asking to release those fair use images under a free license czar ♔ 20:40, 10 May 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: TBH I'd rather fix up the article first before bringing the GG staff's full attention to it. I'll be the first to admit it has major problems at the moment.--Coin945 (talk) 21:05, 10 May 2014 (UTC)
