The GameFan history thread

[x2y]

And yet, believable given the mullet involved.

The Mullet is the story I will tell my kids one day to scare them into bed at night.

Samus the crack whore?

Shut up, heroine chic Samus rocks.

That's why I'm a bit worried about being a part of this... I have the feeling my design tastes are going to be a 180 degree contrast of most of the rest of the staff.

Don't worry, just stop using the drop shadow so much.

You mean "Mario Revlution" right?

My computer just isn't what it used to be, and can be a bit slow at times, especially with Photoshop doing a few things at once. I blame that for the missing letter. *heh*

Mostly because I had planned to put it up when I post round two of my mass posting over there. I think the thread I started over there last night more than proves that I'm serious.

Also, a small bit because I'm still not totally sure what goes where over there. This is especially a problem due to all of the old posts floating around.

And, because I thought people over here would have fun seeing it. Most of the talk about the mag being called "Restart" has been here, not over there, so I thought it belongs here just as much as there.



Absolutely, positively no.

Well, I'm glad you're serious. But I really don't think we should discuss our ideas on live TV, so to speak. Let's decide stuff among the staff and all agree on it in private, then show the world. If the world poopoo's on it then, we can rethink it.

Besides your inital brain dump, you've been missing from the staff board and discussing your ideas more here than there, which I find odd.

I actually like your design sense and and glad to see you have some talent in that area. We need as many people with excellent deign skills as possible. That's a hard thing to find someone willing to contribute for free. Let's get ourselves organized and start working towards making this thing a reality. We can't do that here.

I do actually like that picture. Where's it from?

I'm a big fan of somewhat monotone artwork. Giger and the like.

I totally understand your feeling here - just understand that what I posted was just an idea, and until I get to something I'm serious about going forward with, I tend to show off my rough idea stuff. (My board is littered with my half-finished ideas.) If you'd rather me not post even that kind of stuff here, I'm cool with that, and I wont' show off anything beyond what I already posted and the tweaks I've done to that.

I posted that last night before I went to bed, and I've had work most of today. I don't like the idea of sitting down and putting serious mental work into posting at whatever breaks I get, including lunch. Coming to TNL and just screwing around doesn't take much effort - if I'm going to be posting about something more than chatter, I wait until after work and I have the time to put real effort into it.

Anyhow, as you said, this isn't for here, so I'll continue any more thoughts about this over there.

Found in the Video Games section of 4chan. Not sure where it was originally from.

Okay, sounds good. Your reasoning sounds reasonable.

Speaking of pompous windbags who talk more shit than they can back up, someone should tell Lorne Lanning to STFU about the industry. He's made A (very) good game, slapped out an expansion for it, then crapped out a mediocre next-gen sequel after months and months of bitching.

Wow, where did all that hate come from? =X

I am partial to this news, from the latest EDGE:

"Games aren't even close to the depth a POOR film has yet"
So the nigga's never seen a Bruckheimer film, can't blame him.

"I'll get a headache after playing for two hours"- ON FPS
LOL pussy.


The whole interview/article smells of a superiority complex.

Also, I was thinking the name ion would be interesting. My idea with that would be that every section would be titled something ending in "-ion" - for example, reviews would be "opinion," strategy would be "solution," the community part could be "obsession," etc.

Like Cajun Man?

co-sign.

you dont know how many times i listened to it at the Play offices. Friendly up front, but as soon as the person was gone, the shittalking started.
