    I remember having to talk a friend into taking some clothes to the salvation army. His roommate moved out and he was going to put 6 boxes of almost new clothes in the trash.

    You should buy all of them, then mail them back to that guy. One per month.
    I LOLed. I imagine it was probably his mom or something that threw them out. Maybe he died? I always wonder how things get in thrift stores.

    Also below the headline about FFVIII is the announcement of Ehrgeiz, maybe the worst thing Squaresoft ever did. It was nicely offset by Einhander though.

    I like how the guy clearly called the guy Victor in the fan art photo when obviously, it's Vincent. Also, the innocent speculation "Will Cloud return in FFVIII?" really made me chuckle for some reason.

    I use to love the free crap that Nintendo Power would come with. NES stickers, trading cards, extra mini magazines that came with that month's issue -- it was amazing.

    I try and throw or give away magazines after I read them so I don't come across a stack of them while cleaning and end up rereading them again.

    Those PSX console stickers were the best.

    They were also the worst years later when I realized they were stupid and tried to remove that smiley face from mine.

    I think it will be a while before anything hits the US like FF7 did. It was the Video game equivalent of how countries react when they finally get American rock music. We went like what, 10-15 years without jrpgs being treated like A-list titles? And then that game hits and EVERYONE has to have it.

    I can't think of anything awesome we aren't getting now.

    I remember hating FFVII initially because it wasn't the sprite-based sword-and-sorcery style RPG I had grown accustomed to.

    In fact, I still dislike it based on those traits - but even with it's cruddy polygon graphics, it's still more of a traditional Final Fantasy game than XIII is.

    It's crazy how rampant the fandom got, really. Not that I wasn't a part of it, I was - but there really hasn't been anything quite like it since.

    People wanted to read about FF7! It was truly the pregnant celebrity couple of the videogames world.

    Yeah, I remember that the time when PSM started, it was basically a Square fanzine. Sometimes it's crazy to think back on how much FF7 impacted these rags, and how much space was devoted to outright speculation. And giving ridiculously high scores to games just because they were from Square.

    There was one little blurb I didn't get a picture of, about how "the SNES was officially not making cartridges anymore." And I was like .....damn, I'm old.

    I used the PSM stickers. They were fun! Playstation still had one on when I sold it.

    Ultra 64 hype was fucking nuts back then. Everyone was convinced it was a miracle machine. Then those Gamefan shots of Mario 64 blew minds!
