Hello all, I am new here and this might be some guide or rules that I missed, but I'll just ask it here: is it allowed to submit news about your own game? I mean, if we're doing press release, etc, would it be allowed and people here be interested if it would post it to User-Submitter News as well?

Hey, thanks. I read "User-Submitted News post guide", but found nothing about news that can be treated as "self promotion", that is why I asked here (or did I miss something else there?).

It's the kind of thing that generally appears to be fine for folks active on the forum, but you might be shunned for posting about it right after signing up. Comes across as you just wanting to use the site for promo and disappear back into the void.

That's by no means a official word though, maybe a mod will be able to better assist.

Thanks for the answer. I was thinking similarly so I might just keep it to myself and not post about it :) But mods opinion would be interesting as well.

    When I worked for Dell we had access to data about military contracts and addresses for high ranking people.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I personally handled a call from the second highest person at Raytheon. That call bothered me a lot... The guy was nice and smart what bothered me was the way management basically just blew him off instead of going the extra mile to help him.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    In the end that call ended up costing Dell millions in lost contracts with Raytheon, and really the issue could have been solved for like 450 bucks lol

    sometimes I wonder why anyone would ever buy mega man x legacy collection 2
  • NinStar @ NinStar:
    I always thought that capcom shuffled the games in these collection, but apparently they are all in chronological order, which makes legacy collection 2 worthless
