Milliways vidya game canon FAQ/walkthroughs?

[sky_child]

So a lot of us here play games, and a lot of us here play from video game canons. I thought it'd be cool if those who were interested and had the time could band together to create guides for their canons--a sort of GameFAQ for Milliwaysers by Milliwaysers. I'm p sure none of this makes sense because I've written and rewritten it like a bajillionty times, but! Just throwing this idea out there.

Oh, man. Wish I could, but three of my video game characters are from games that're 50+ hours long and heavily sandboxy, and ... to be honest I haven't played Medic's canon in a long time and wouldn't know how to handle all the stuff with new hats, add-ons, etc. So that leaves Half-Life, mostly, unless you want to count canon OOMs already written.

What'd you have in mind overall?

Something like a canon share community? Without the...actual sharing of canon. But, a directory or separate community where people can post links to walkthroughs for those who are playing their pup's canons but need a little help? I know my lazy patootie hates having to dig through the internets to find a decent walkthrough, so I thought it'd be nice if Milliwaysers could give each other a hand in that department.

Again with the not making sense because augh I need some caffeine stat.

Would this necessarily be a useful thing? For instance, I have four pups, two of whom are from video games - the more recent of which is nearly a decade old. Most of the more recent things, such as Cam's Half-Life and Falloutverse pups, are popular enough that it's sometimes hard to turn around without tripping over some manner of FAQ.

Now, if we were to have a bunch of pups from stuff that was both recent and vaguely obscure, I could see this being a real boon.

Hmm...

Unfortunately my canon is a bit... MMOish?
I think the most I would ever do is to point at the runescape wikia for quest walkthroughs and boss fight guides, but questions about leveling this or that skill or becoming filthy rich I just stick my fingers in my ears and go "LALALALALALA I CAN'T HEAR YOU I DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THIS GAME I DON'T EVEN PLAY PLEASE DISREGARD MY I'm a helpful person, ask me anything HAT LALALALALALA"

Of course, the game is about to get a major update which will drastically change almost everything so, any advise I give will have an expiration date and will go moldy by January.
