General Discussion
The place for conversation that doesn't make sense to talk about in any specific game in our list. Think of General Discussion as a "catch all" for conversations about gaming, game culture or anything else worth sharing.
Ten minutes of videogame nostalgia performed by a rock band.

The source code for Prince of Persia was released today from the original Apple 2 port:
https://github.com/jmechner/Prince-of-Persia-Apple-II
Awesome to see this sort of thing happen regularly. A few companies I respect have released source for some awesome games like Sim City, Doom 3, Quake 3 & Duke Nukem 3D.
Seeing this kind of thing is awesome because it allows these classic games to live on well beyond they are fiscally viable to keep running on modern systems. I believe culture should be preserved and source released of old games helps that.
Heres hoping that old games like Warcraft Orcs and Humans, Unreal Tournament and Mario Brothers see a source release at...

For all you math nerds out there.
A few people have mentioned to me that its not straight forward how to get your imagery from your games to upload to the web and share on Cheerful Ghost.
Recently I created a blog post about it, check it out:
http://blog.cheerfulghost.com/post/20503613172/getting-your-own-images-on-cheerful-ghost
Long and short of it, nab your screen-shots, pics, etc and upload them to http://imgur.com/ Its the easiest way to upload your images on the web. Imgur is popular on Reddit and other social sites.
Hope you find this helpful, I used imgur to upload my own personal imagery for quite a few of my posts.

Check out this cool article on The New York Times called "Just One More Game ...

EA was just voted the worst company in America by the Consumerist. Way to go EA! You're so bad people actually hate you more than the cable companies and banks.
