I'm actually quite glad about it. Between January and June this forum was dead but, what's this, I find my 2 day old thread on the 2nd page, damn!

Four months ago it would of sat there on the first page for nearly a month, getting a few replies here and there, to keep it alive.

The only reason I can see it being so active is because off all the new games soon to be released, most notably Super Mario Sunshine. Some may hate it but no matter what it's a hot topic and that alone has refreshed eager gaming minds about upcoming Christmas release titles.

I agree. There are so many new games being announced and released, including Final Fantasy. Final Fantasy, Zelda, Metroid, Mario, new releases etc. The game industry is picking up, I think.

Yeah the Cube is picking up.

To tell you the truth I think it has mostly to do with GCN games. I know that PS2 and XBOX are going to have some great games comming out, but Nintendo is famous for saturating the Christmas season with games, and I think that's the only thing that keeps them from failing completely. The Christmas season is for Nintendo to redeem themselves by releasing highly aticipated games, usually frachises, and all those who waited so long finally love Nintendo again. Why do I say this, because it's true, and it applies to me 100%.

I can't wait for PSO and the new controller to come out. BTW when is Enclave coming out, is it coming out for the Cube?

Enclave is going for a holiday release.

And PSO. I was going to get this but found STarWars Galsaxy and had to get that instead. And its going to make me broke (again).

300th Post! yay!

Nah, enclave is already out for X-Box users :D.

Anywho, I've noticed this too. It's a good thing. It's also getting better in the fact that there are more people who like other systems than GameCube beginning to show up. Not that I have a hatred of the Cube, it's just nice to see some new opinions.

Cool, I'm seeing also ho much going online will cost me for the Cube so I can play PSO.

Wow, and nothing I can think of is coming out anytime that I actually want.

Going online will on the cube Appreox cost
Modem or broadband adapter $50 (i think)
PSO $50
PSO Monthly $5

I'd reccomend Buying PSO first and then saving up for the adapter, unless you can afford both at once that is :D

Dead between January and June? I didn't think so... General Gaming discussion seemed as lively as it ever was. Whenever I feel unwilling to post anything because of a feeling of alienation from the forums, GGD was always that one forum where I could easily post without being on top of things.

But I do notice its been much more lively, but it certainly wasn't dead before.

Yeah, you're right Daark. It wasn't dead but I was comparing it to GD, which I didn't state in my above post, so I did make so sense.

It is very nice to see the activity rise here. This way we get lots of debate and whatnot, which is what I like most about GGD.

Now if only GED could be as active...

Well GED doesn't have a whole lot to talk about now a days. But GGD is picking up happily and I can't wait to see what people say about SMS.
