You guys want me to start doin those game templates again like I used to? Been seeing multiple posts complaining about the lack of a good template for first posts.

It's a sad thing, but people don't seem to give a single fuck about that anymore

I usually don't care whether a thread has a proper template or not.

Long as the info about where the game is at (a link)
maybe a few 'lazy' screenshots for convenience, and a cliff notes of the genre and such are in it..doesn't matter to me if its in a template form personally.
I mean someone could post:
NEW 'X" game is out!
its a FPS game based in a future setting.
(link to homepage)
(random screenshot)
and that's all I need really, just a nod to go "hey in case you didn't know, this is coming out" I can find the info myself if I'm that interested.
Most the time on game threads, I look at the name, skim for the genre, and if interested go google it for myself.
But others might like the templates, as more info than I need myself, doesn't hurt to have for those that enjoy it.

I like them too (and most of the times I use them), but I perfectly understand that it's way more comfortable to just put a link  . It's fine either way for me

I don't really care about them. I won't use them when I make my own threads anyway because there are different things to list about each game. I like to write those first posts from scratch.

I think all my game threads are based on your old template with my own tweaks.

Also I created a little helper app to generate bbcode. Really helps with comma separated list of named links for videos and images 
EDIT: Updates images to images with sample data.

I like templates, and use them when starting a thread, so it's a yes.
