Sorry, for the minor typos in the title. I see them, but can't change them.

Topics about things besides video games are fine if they are in the General Discussion section.

I love some Elton John as well. I wanted to see them in concert this year, but they are money hungry for nose bleeds :D

Well, I've created a monster. What started as a joke is now laughing back at me. So, I would say it's a tie between "Still Rock n' Roll to Me" and "My Life" as my favorites from the Piano Man

I'm actually a big BIlly Joel fan so it's hard for me to pick just one. I'll say Scenes from an Italian Restaurant, Lullabye, and Piano Man.

Gotta be ' Shes always a Woman'.
On a side note i love these non game related topics it lets you get to know other users better and have a giggle plus talking just about games can get a bit boring after a while.

What's this bit for again?

It's strange how your statement can be read two different ways.

It says general discussion for life and everything else...i.e not video games lol what do u expect, if its about video games its in the wii, ds, and those topics...i thought i was blatantly obvious but guess not xP. So ya to answer your question after that, i do like non video game related topics in a non video game category....just seems to make sense to me

I guess I always thought General Discussion would still have a video game slant to it like someone talking about video game related: T-shirts, movies, collectibles, memories, famous people from gaming, etc. I guess it seems a bit weird going to a video game website and start talking about how tall people are!

Ya i guess you have a point. it is a video game website, sure. There are topics about video games all over the place but in general discussion (which is listed under the OFF TOPIC headline) its not really talking about video games if you read the description underneath it, so a lot of the time you won't find video games, you'll find people talking about themselves, about each other, and posting stuff not relevant to video games but more about personal stuff. So i guess if you don't like it you don't have to click the topics that don't sound like videogames...like its clearly stated for mine at least that its about how tall are you...so if you don't wanna talk about that, instead of going out of your way just to say its a pointless topic since its not related to video games under a non-video game category, you can just skip it or look in the more video game related places. I'm not trying to single you out or argue cuz you raise a point so many people probably want to, but personally, i find it annoying when people constantly say people's topics are pointless or non video game related because its really just going out of your way to degrade someone else's topic to whom their own topic did actually interest them...I wanted to know the heights of people out of interest so to me its not pointless, so i made the topic. So if all my or somebody's topics are pointless, I say you can make your own topics that aren't "pointless" in your eyes so then the topic has a "point" or place on this site for you.

I agree with Adam. We Didn't Start the Fire. I heard it on the radio last night and couldn't help singing along.

Now I'm going to be singing it all day long.
