Game File:
I made a game on the plane ride out to San Francisco for GDC! Actually my laptop battery gave out, but I did get it playable on the plane and now I've finished it up in the hotel.

Seconding the ability to
Seconding the ability to submit event-less games! I was just thinking about this the other day. If this happens, a sidebar link to browse all the games on the site would be nice too.
Developer Diaries is the
Developer Diaries is the place to submit eventless games right now... the problem is that it's considered a different section by Drupal, as you are creating a "blog" entry rather than a "game." For one thing, tag information does not seem to be shared between blog and game entries. For another, nobody can fave or rate games posted a blog entries. Also, Developer Diaries just feels so secluded compared to the rather social nature of "game" entries.
Alright, alright, I fixed
Alright, alright, I fixed it! You can now make games that aren't associated with any event, but you have to set the event to "<none>" manually. The thing holding me back from doing this in the past was having to write some PHP / SQL to dynamically set the default to something sane, but now I've gone and done it, just for you.
And yeah, I totally need to prominently link the list of all games somewhere.
Helping.
Oh. Wow. Ace. When you spend your time doing things like this, which seem to be only our responsibility, I feel guilty. What are the best way non-coding can help with this place. Maybe you have ideas for more wiki content I/we could work on? Anything else?
Man, don't feel guilty!
Man, don't feel guilty! Make games instead!
Seriously, I'm super proud of Glorious Trainwrecks. When I think about it, I'm still amazed that I've managed to rope so many people into making such dumb things for my own personal amusement. Of course everyone else gets to enjoy them too, but honestly I started the site just because I wanted to play more stupid games. This community has collectively made over a thousand. I kind of expected most people to just tell me about them, rather than make them, but the opposite has happened with tremendous force, which has been totally amazing.
This place is the way it is because of you guys. Nobody is a jerk to each other here. There have been no flamewars, no cliques, no trolling. Prominent game designers make games alongside people who have never made games. The best way you can help with this place is to continue to be excellent to each other. And make games.
Also if you have any CSS chops the site could stand a redesign. See this thread for some thoughts.
I love that you actually
I love that you actually update the website really, really quickly whenever we bitch about anything.

It usually only takes like 20 minutes to make a tweak -- even one involving writing php -- and if I don't get to it when people complain, I generally sit on it for months, making it seem to myself like a bigger deal than it is.
It's a good way to procrastinate on more important things, too.

Excellent! Thanks!
You need to get out to GDC next year!

Wow, 897 games made! We rock!
I think I should resubmit my Developer Diaries games as "game" entries. Regarding navigation: I think you should just put an "All Games" link before Wiki, and change the label for "Klik of the Month Klub" to indicate that it's where the old entries are... "Old Klik of the Month Entries?" Though something like that doesn't really seem fit for a navigation sidebar. In general though, I think the Wiki section of the navigation bar needs revamping big-time. It was only relevant within the first couple years of the site.

I should have just made a GDC 2011 event anyway. It looks like Six is making something cool during the Indie Fund panel :)
