I pity the future VGGers who will be confused by your awesomeness. "How did two people upload game 20k at the same time!?"

Congratulations!


Speaking from the other end of the approval process - it was pretty damn close. They were submitting almost as fast as I could approve them.

This overtext is far more interesting than I am.

Speaking from our side, Andrew entered 20k. Then a duplicate was deleted so mine became 20k. Thus the paradox. Considering the two of us had almost everything from 19850 to 20005, I am pretty certain we had it covered.

Whoa now, one of those last 150 was mine!

How do you submit games so quickly? It takes me almost 30 minutes to do each game with all the info lookup I do into every country's release.

My process right now - I'm looking at the Wii catalogue - is this:

1) Find game in Wii catalogue on nintendo.com
2) Crosscheck with database to see if it's there or not
3) Find publisher/developer on nintendo.com or gamefaqs
4) Visit publisher/developer webpage to get description/info.
5) Get release info from publisher/developer/gamefaqs/nintendo
6) Repeat

One tip that helps me:

I enter an entire game 'except' for language. Then hit sumbit. It kicks you back saying you must sumbit that field. Then enter that field and resubmit. This submits the game.

Now instead of starting over hit the back button, then the refresh button, then click to resend for the content. This loads the last incomplete entry you had. You still have to adjust quite a few fields, but only the ones that need changing. If you are entering a lot of the same type of game (like from publisher etc) you don't have to reenter those every time.

The type of games I sumbit typically are pretty simple too. They don't have multiple versions on a bunch of different systems. It is just and arcade cabinet. Though a lot don't have Wiki entries either so I have to do a lot of user descriptions which is slower. Having a wiki source helps a lot too.

Awesome.
I've been looking into some FF formfillers, but in spite of their opening text they were all pretty complicated. I also submit games mainly for one platform, one media, (not rated), so having to click those each and every time really stalls. Think it costs me 20 minutes per game.

Are going to share the 20,000th game badge as it appears there was a duplicate entry approved. A big congratulations to the both of them for getting us to 20,000 games in the database!



Now I noticed I forgot to Congratulate you both.

CONGRATULATIONS

So, can we expect the same performance for the 30.000?
