Title: The Not-So-Round Table

  <P>
It's not real easy to come up with these topics, and since we do it for you anyway...    <P>
During my stint as "Interim Community Manager" (before I was "Staff", and well before I became "Features Editor") my primary responsibility was the community round-up.      <P>
The majority of the Community Round-Up feature were links and forum quotes. However, every week I had to create a topic of discussion for the forums.  It was the part of the job that was the most difficult.      <P>
Being tasked with our new NWR Staff Round Table is pretty much the same thing.  I come up with a topic, and then try to make sense of the responses.  Just like before, that first part is always the trickiest.    <P>
I hope to have our latest round table up for you all tomorrow, but I'm coming up blank for new material!    <P>
We do this for you, so if you have ideas please send them to me here. (http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/mailstaff.cfm?staffid=118)  I ask you email them to me personally, because I enjoy surprising the staff with the topics we use.    <P>
Thanks in advance! <P>

If you actually view this article on the actual site, the link actually works.

I'm not so sure that's actually how it goes.  The actual truth is that you should just send an actual email to the actual James Jones, or even an actual PM to the guy, actually.  I'll bet that would actually work, too.

Edit:  Actually, I sent in my list of actual ideas in last night.  So the actual reality is that this thread can actually be closed now.

Its true, he did. Closing.

In all seriousness, a PM works too.  Sad to say I got a bunch of good suggestions, and one happened in Staff Emails organically.

Ill start raiding your suggestions next week. Thanks to all who sent some.

Nothing.

Sorry guys, other site stuff has moved this to the backburner till the new year.  On the brightside, if you want to get your fix of me I wrote the most boring review in NWR history for F1 2009.

You're F-ing Welcome!

Hey now, that Degrassi discussion was pretty epic, Crimm. The readers deserve to see the insanity behind the veil!
