Summer of Arcade

Not really a feature, but can we actually list which games are part of the Summer of Arcade for each year? Something similar to how games are listed in a series like Halo.

This was asked for before well someone asked about something similar. If you go to each badge, they will have a link to the games collection.

For now this was the end result.

http://www.gamertagnation.com/collec...collection-14/

http://www.gamertagnation.com/collec...collection-13/

http://www.gamertagnation.com/collec...collection-36/

Now if we want to take this a step further we possibly could, but I believe the priority wasn't there.

Well, could we at least get links to those collections posted on the badge pages?

The links are in the badge descriptions. Just click where it says "201X Summer of Arcade" and it will take you to the game "series" page for that year's Summer of Arcade.

IE 11.0.12

In fact, the only place I see it at all look like a link is in the search results:



But, I would think that within the actual badge page, making the link LOOK like a link would be a nice thing...

I was looking at the badge listings, not the badge page itself... Interesting.

I see where this can be confusing myself, I only moused over and ultimately clicked the underline because I knew this was under discussion somewhere else and I thought I remember Eric actually saying he had made changes to this.. but, putting a color on that link I think would help greatly.

I never look at the badge listing for info, because I assume anything in the badge listing will be in/on the badge page...

Yes, a badge team would want an additional closed forum, with a badge team leader and a badge team.

I would suggest the team be made up of more enthusiastic badge lovers, but, the leader should probably be a bit more objective...

It's tough because you need someone impartial but only people who are passionate about badges would want to be in the staff group. The leader should be Eric. Team gathers stuff and does the prep and presentation, then the boss comes in and gives the thumbs up/down.
