gameaphobia 

To show an unreasonable fear of games. To be frightened by shiny new technology. To be like a certain lawyer who is also known for his douchebagery.
Guy 1: So why did she piss on the floor again?
Guy 2: Oh, you mean Susie. She suffers from gameaphobia.
Guy 1: Whats that?
Guy 2: Well, when she saw my six axis controller she became frightened and then wanted to boycott anything over a T rating.
Guy 1: Oh, you mean she's over 30.
Guy 2: Yep.

A once good site but now it's just made of ass.

The creater of Gametalk, Mike Pooler, began to "update" Gametalk during the summer. Little did anyone know that it was gone for good. It's been about 8 months now since he began the update and yet all we see is "final adjustments in progress." As if it's ever going to be back up.

There was a forum where I met alot of cool people. It was nice keeping in touch with them, but there is a part of me that wishes Gametalk was still available.

No matter how much ass Gametalk is, I will admit that I would like it back up.

Game metal. A type of music where you take, for example, the Mario theme song, and make a hardcore song out of it.
That GaMetal song was amazing!

WAS a cool forum site with focus on videogames but also with its share of interesting general topics. The thing is, you would almost always meet people there who had an interesting, mature character and opinions. The server crashed in late 2008, the site replaced with constant promises of updates and revival. As of May 28, 2009 the domain is dead.
I really, really wish Gametalk made it back somehow...

Heil Gamestapo!
"How much did you get for the trade in, man?"
"Eh, Gamestapo said they could give me $2 cash or $3.25 credit... so I said credit because I wanted to preorder the new **** ** ****."
"You know Gamestapo's preorder games sometimes don't come with any bonuses at all, right?"
"...Shit"

Despite the name, it's a place where internet chatters come to talk about more than just games. Life, music, games, depression etc. can all be found on the site. Many would argue that the site is dead. Indeed, most of the forums are desolate, but there are a handful of other forums that constantly have posts up and replies in minutes.

Lately, Gametalk has been having problems with posting messages and comments. Whether it's due to a lack of care for the site, or a computer error, it takes away from the site. Spammers and trolls are other problems of the site.

Mods have been a big aspect of Gametalk. Some think they are doing their job, but the consequences of uncaring mods have shown, such as a spam filled forum or trolls being able to talk freely without punishment.

All in all, Gametalk has seen its ups and downs. Most regulars are loyal to the site, and that's what has been keeping it going.
Ricky - I need a site where I can find depression, music, Final Fantasy XII, Pokemon Emerald, Spirituality, books, movies, and Grand Theft Auto forums. Where should I look?

Jedediah - Go to Gametalk. You'll find that and more.

Ricky - Yay.
