I know it's tempting but whatever you do, don't press any of the moderation buttons that show up on resource pages! It won't be until Tuesday that we'll be back in the office to look at any of this :(

Hi guys,

Please, please, please do not hesitate to message me or another staff member if someone is using our site's private messaging system in such a way as to make you uncomfortable. You have every right to use our site without being subject to private messages that make you feel unsafe or uneasy. You should never feel pressured into not speaking up.

Every private message chain has a block and report button underneath that allows you to quickly and easily block communications with a specific user, and (if you choose to) submit a report to the administrators so that they can investigate any relevant message chains and act in your best interest to keep you safe. If you'd rather talk about the situation with a site moderator, we can also forward your concerns to the admins (with your permission). Reporting a user through their profile will also put the situation on our radar so the team -- as a whole -- can put energy into investigating the situation for you.

If you have any questions, feel free to reach out.

Well, let's see how far this goes. I'm gunna try a trend post of my own. Share this pot with your answers to these gaming related questions,

1. What is your favorite game?
2. What is your favorite game franchise?
3. What's the most underrated game you've played?
4. What's the most overrated game you've played?
5. Minecraft Java or Minecraft Bedrock?
6. What's a game you didn't like, but have come back around to?
7. Do you prefer console or PC?
8. Do you remember the first game you ever played?
9. What are you currently playing/have played recently?
10. What's a game you want to play, but haven't yet?

-----------------
Okay, Now here's my answerers to the questions.

1. Super Mario All Stars - One of the best remakes ever made and includes one of the best games ever made.
2. WarioWare - I have a thing for fast-paced, pick up and play games.
3. Sonic and the Black Knight - No, it's not just because of the story, I genuinely like the gameplay.
4. Donkey Kong Country - Don't get me wrong, the newer games are great, but this first one is just really janky.
5. Bedrock - I hate Java's controls.
6. Sonic Colors - It's actually a very interesting story that I don't have time for, but the short version is I didn't like it until I played all three versions back to back.
7. Console - I play some games on PC, but I always try console first.
8. It's actually Super Mario Bros. on an actual NES, that or Halo 2.
9. I'm currently playing Mario + Rabbids: Sparks of Hope. - I really liked the first game, but this one absolutely clears it.
10. The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild - I'm going to play it. I know I'm going to play it... I just don't know when.

Thanks for reading!
