I think this would be an interesting idea and would encourage people to make more runs.

Basically, every month or two Radix lists a new game that he's challenging us (the runners) to run. It could have its own designated board, and each GOTM (game of the month) has its own stickied topic in there and no other topics can be made, only the GOTM topic remains.

Anyway, this way you have several people attempting a run on the same game so strategies and tips can be discussed in its designated topic. Also there’s a bit of competitiveness.

Of course there are complications. There’s a good chance sufficient amount of people don't own the game to make this fun. Also, somebody actually going through and finishing the run may not actually happen.

So... thoughts, ideas? (Sorry if this idea has been mentioned before, I only briefly checked)

It's a good idea, but i don't see it becoming very popular.

sound very good to me, a great idea indeed

I don't know, I don't really like it. Most of the runners here already have a few runs in mind that they're either working on or will work on after their current runs, and I'm not about to change my run list because someone wants me to do a certain game, even if it IS Radix.
I'm speaking for myself of course, not sure of others.

Suzaku pretty much said what's on my mind.

A similar thing is done for the Quake section; either through the contests or 'Level of the Whenever' features. It helps focus the community's effort on one level, yes, but... everyone can just download the level.

Not so easy for games.

How about prizes like a one night stand with StrangenessDSS of some sort.

I'd like to give this man the "Dumbest thing said this month" award.

Someone's going for brownie points.

Anyways, I think this idea came up before and we said "Naaaah." 
But we've still got 23 days left.  I'm sure his statement will be topped.

Um...not really.

But how about a game of the month in the sence of best run of the month.(They're practically comming in at a monthly basis by now anyway). And say things like who the run was by and why it was so good and so forth.
That should be a user made thread rather than a single feature of the site.  It's all subjective to one's experience with  the title itself.  Take obscure game, give it a brilliant speed run, and watch it be overlooked by a major Nintendo/Sega/Capcom/Whatever franchise. 
Well thats what I get for posting in this thread.

When will I learn my lesson?

I don't think it would gather much interest. The games we are already running (if any) are the ones we are most interested in, otherwise we wouldn't have picked them. We all know how great run requests are.

No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No.
Strangeness, I apologize for the male gender. :-[

Edit: I saw this in the pc forum, I believe it qualifies for dumbest thing said this month- "Lets talk about Quake-for PC. Anyone like it? "

Somebody is asking to get killed.  Remember, you IP is posted here, which I'm sure she'd be happy to do an IP trace back to your house, find you, show up at your door, and your "one night stand" will turn into a "one shot stand".




Bang.

Oh, no. I'd never do a thing like that. And you be sure to tell the police that if they start asking questions!

Actually, you're suppose to do it, then make it look like Sandbag29 did it.  And I'll back you up.  That guy is a looney, we can surely make him look guilty. ^_~

Not like it'd be that hard.  Just leave sand and a baseball bat at the scene of the accident.

Interesting idea, but I think it wouldn't catch on too well because we each have our own games to run. Even popular ones won't be bought/played by everyone here.
Visit my profile to see my runs!
And don't forget; it's already the year of Sonic... 
Crap! That reminds me. I need to get back to my Sonic run.
