| - | FIXME Define "sacred cow" | + | I'm not sure what exactly a "sacred cow" is, but this page appears to be collecting results from some "wut r ur favorite gaems" threads. |
| - | ===== Games ===== | + | ===== The 2011 "Game of the Year of All Years" Thread ===== |
| - | Currently this list contains every (?) game that scored more than 3 points in [[http://forums.selectbutton.net/viewtopic.php?t=31344|this forum thread]]. Due to the nature of said thread some games might be missing entirely, whilst games that are rather divisive might be on the list. A general rule of thumb here is that the list becomes increasingly inaccurate the further down you get. | + | In 2011 [[http://forums.selectbutton.net/viewtopic.php?t=31344|this forum thread]] was made to determine Selectbutton's favorite games from 1980 to the then-present. There was some silly voting system and voters were given a good amount of leniency to define a release year that suited them, therefore the results might not be completely accurate as a representation of SB's opinions regarding the greatest games of //all time//. |
