Chrontendo directory

October 31, 2010 1:36 PM

I worked for a couple of days on a post on Chrontendo, the project of a guy to play every Famicom and NES game, and in chronological order to boot. (It reminds me a bit of Wowbagger the Infinitely Prolonged, but no matter.) When I finished it and tried to post it I found out that it had already been posted. (In fact, I myself had commented on it, which was odd.) However, the work I had done in constructing the post, which links to every video's description page and notes which ones contain particularly interesting games, shouldn't go to waste I think. The original thread is long closed, so I'm going to paste my links in the More Inside of this post for people to peruse and enjoy.

This is pretty awesome, but seems much better suited to some venue which is... well, which is not Metatalk.

It's stuff like this that sometimes warrants double-posting. If in doubt ask a mod. A fully developed follow up post could be well received.

The post I made about Chrontendo has no insides. If both the mods and you are okay with it, I would have absolutely no problem with that being appended to it (with full credit, obviously.)

...or the considerably less self-indulgent thing that loquacious said. That can work too.

This is sort of worth another post. This is not really right for MetaTalk. Go make a new post!

And be cool and give previously links to the other posts, but I think it's okay.

But maybe I am feeling cheery because I am in a clown costume. I am closing this now.
