Nonstop Gaming General

Nonstop Gaming General, previously known as Next-Gen Gaming and commonly shortened to NGG, is a special interest board used for discussion about all video games and game systems.

NGG's original purpose was to provide a place to talk about consoles, handhelds, and games that would appear in the next generation of gaming. However, NGG is more often seen as a board simply to troll on. Huge debates rage on the accuracy of sales numbers, upcoming game titles, game score predictions, and new console or handheld information. Most topics inevitably become Sony vs. Nintendo vs. Microsoft flame wars. Usually, a topic will start out innocently enough, but a troll will come in and say something to disrupt the mood. Then all hell breaks loose.

There is a major problem with fads, joke accounts and catchphrases on NGG. They are seen as in-jokes by regulars, while they are major annoyances to others. It is very hard to get a good debate going without one of these problems from occurring.

Though people still view this negatively, it has been proven that NGGites want this as they view it as their culture.
