FAQ Update

It's been a long-held issue of mine that we can't update the FAQ with a bit about how GNamer was formed, where we come from, and so on.

Turns out - we can! I'm very up for adding a section to the FAQ about GNamer's history and such. So, over to you: what sort of questions should go in the FAQ? Better yet, what sort of answers should go there? Answers on a postcard to the usual address...

We've got a FAQ page and didn't someone try to set us up a Wiki page that would be cool especially we now have been around a good while & we have Gintendo.

What's all this about then?

What's the general ethos of this place?

I'm new, can you recommend me some threads to start me off?

I have a piece of news about an old Nontendo console, where should I post about it?

Hey I have this great website I think you guys might like...

Daddy or chips?

What are all them links at the top?

How well know is this forum?

What does that weird message under the header mean?

Does Curse hate wax?

Why is Balla and Mas so lonely?

That Drunka chap sure is sexy, funny and charming, how can I get closer to him?

Does he have a patreon I can support?

Has he ever posed nude?

I had a weird dream about a patreon the other night.

Well this was a disturbing sequence of sentences to read.

What's all this about then?
This is the web's premiere Luke Summerhayes appreciation society. Read Luke's amazing posts, laugh along with his other fans or express your love to him directly.

What's the general ethos of this place?
We like banter, we like bringing up Dark Souls as a punchline, and we LOVE Luke.

I'm new, can you recommend me some threads to start me off?
The GNamer Posts Appreciation Thread and the annual Forumite Awards will let you really check out Luke Summerhayes at his best.

I have a piece of news about an old Nontendo console, where should I post about it?
On some other site, unless it's about Luke.

Hey I have this great website I think you guys might like...
Is it about Luke?

Daddy or chips?
Luke would rather be called Daddy than Chips but finds both a bit weird.

What are all them links at the top?
Twitter, Youtube and Gintendo are great places to check out Luke Summerhayes' work. Memberlist is a good way to go straight to his posts. Usergroups is a good way to start a Luke Summerhayes fanclub.

How well know is this forum?
It wasn't that Well Know until it became associated with Luke Summerhayes.

What does that weird message under the header mean?
These are just funny quotes, the funniest coming from Luke Summerhayes.

Does Curse hate wax?
Yes, but it loves Luke Summerhayes.

Why is Balla and Mas so lonely?
The ladies just can't settle for anyone else, knowing Luke Summerhayes exists.

That Drunka chap sure is sexy, funny and charming, how can I get closer to him?
Just mention Transformers, Platinum Games, Pikmin, Mario Galaxy or Dark Souls.

Does he have a patreon I can support?
Not yet, unfortunately, but he does have an Amazon Wishlist.

Has he ever posed nude?
Yes, but you'll have to contact him personally, none of it is freely available online.

I had a weird dream about a pateron the other night.
Please do not fill the forum with chat about your dreams, they're never interesting.

Who's that green fella standing menacingly next to the forum logo?
Thats the Grackler, a physical representation of the rest of us compared to Luke Drunkalilly Summerhayes.

Why is Reggie Fils-Aime signed up here? And what's with that angry mole? And who invited Tingle?!
Everyone, from company presidents to deities, loves Luke Summerhayes.

Points? Is this a forum or an RPG? Is the title under my username like an RPG class or a something?
Yes.

I googled NGamer and ended up here! What gives?
Luke giveth, but also, he taketh away.

What the hell is electrical soup?
Ask your mum.

Why would anyone eat with an ear, they have a hole at the bottom?
You hold it by the hole.

Do you know what Rad mobile is?
Any car Luke Summerhayes drives.

Some FAQ questions:

Who's that green fella standing menacingly next to the forum logo?

Why is Reggie Fils-Aime signed up here? And what's with that angry mole? And who invited Tingle?!

Points? Is this a forum or an RPG? Is the title under my username like an RPG class or a something?

On a side note, I Googled GNamer there out of interest - supposedly we share our name with a dangerous trojan virus and Urban Dictionary defines us as "a small goblin that eats electrical soup with a babies ear or ears".

Whereas that's actually the grackler. God damn it UD, you know nothing.

New question for the FAQ:

What the hell is electrical soup?

More importantly why would anyone eat with an ear, they have a hole at the bottom.

Do you know what Rad mobile is?

More generally/seriously: "Everyone keeps talking about well know things/Tenderloin Minimise/some other in-joke, and I don't understand!"
Then do a brief list of all the biggest in-jokes and explanations, possibly in a spoiler. Because we don't want to feel cliquey with our clever things that only we get and outsiders don't.

Perhaps similarly a list of inactive forumites who get referred to often, for example Stu/Beemoh/Dusty, and Venom_uk for the sake of that one forum award.

Rad Mobile an arcade racing game from the legend Yu Suzuki and published by SEGA in 1991, it's best known as the first game Sonic the Hedgehog appeared in as a car air freshener. It later had a sequel and what we would now consider a remaster for the SEGA Saturn as Gale Racer also Rad Mobile was in the film Encino Man AKA California Man.

It is also a very well know game.

Keep the suggestions coming in, chaps! Jay and I will start to piece things together shortly.

May I present to you... the new FAQ section about GNamer!

If you feel we've missed something out, or that it doesn't represent the tone of the forum, please let us know. Revisions are always possible.

I don't like the idea of new people feeling welcome.

Seems you forgot all about the initiation tests and weekly animal sacrifices.
