Wow. That whole Gamespot era is a new thing to me, I hardly played video games in high school and I think that's when Gamespots golden age took place. I had no clue it existed, the first bombcast I didn't know who Jeff or Ryan was. I sorta wish someone did a retrospective on all that because from what I can gather it just seems like Giantbomb with a larger funding.

That made me feel real old.:lol

Ryan insisting on calling roguelikes 'mysterious dungeon games' was pissing me off so bad.
It's a specific sub category, esp when most of the 'mysterious dungeon' games are made by the same dev. Saying just roguelike is much more vague.

No, it's like people not knowing an obscure subgenre of silent films.

I've been gaming for 23 years and heard of the term "roguelike" for the first time only late last year.

1. It's a Chunsoft game. They're 'mysterious dungeon' games. They follow specific patterns and rules not exactly like the rogues.
2. Most people today probably don't know what silent films are.
 
Holy shit I missed a lot in this thread. I got the gb app for the Droid and I haven't been on this thread for a while. Blonde gb crew is hilarious. The funny part is that around 97' I had the same hair color, the sad part is that I took my senior picture like that and ill never live that down.

What? I didn't know there was an android app for this! Thanks for letting me know, will download ASAP. Will kind of suck on my G1's poor battery performance though :-/

What was in the pic? i can't see anything :(
 
well at the UI designer at Square knows what he's doing.

bam.
 
Love the idea for this video, hope they do more.

And man, the battle screen for FFXIII is so goddamn busy and cluttered. In an age where UI's are becoming minimal and streamlined, looking at the battles play out in this video just annoyed me to no end.
