The GameFan history thread

I was going to make an entry for "CONTROLLER!" (with an exclamation point) but decided my list was goofy enough without it.

Shidoshi - you had a good idea going there with the information tags at the bottom of page two.

Hey Shidoshi, do you still think Resident Evil Movie is an abomination? I didn't think the first one was that bad cuz it COULD have happened. Meaning it didn't fuck with the game's storyline. But RE:A was an abomination cuz it totally fucked with the game.

with that note do you guys have any funny stories about Mr.Anthony Chau?

"Screw Attack" would be a great title for a feature, maybe a code-section or something. I also think there should be a feature highlighting below-average gamers called, "Weak-Sauce" or "Button-Masher".

Here's a few magazine title ideas I've been kicking around:

Player-1: To keep with the sexual-theme going. The "1" could be real huge in the logo or something. We might have an issue with the first four letters being similar to another publication, but there it is.

Player-2: To be used later as a spin-off magazine, ala EGM2.

XGF: Make what you want of the initials, but it would be fitting since most of you were former GF staffers (get it? Ex-GameFan?). Kinda weak, yes.

Continue?: "Press Start" and "Insert Credit" have been taken. This is one of the few on-screen instructions left, other than "Select Character" or "GAME OVER" (which wouldn't be bad, either). Plus, at the end of every article, there'd be the magazine logo asking you to continue. How cool is that?

VIDEO GAME MAGAZINE: Says it all right there. Straight and to the point. You can even add a "the" to it for added emphasis.

Total Bastard Gamer: Might be a little rough - Not sure if the Wal-Marts would ever carry a title such as this. This was also the original name of the fanzine I worked on.

Super GameGO!: Hoah offered up the GO! name earlier, but this just adds more flava.

Solid Gamer: Unlike "Liquid Gamer", who got all the recessive genes!

Flying Monkey Stick: Not necessarily for the magazine, just thought it sounded like a good band name or something.


Gah..it's hard coming up with a serious name for something that will hopefully be the spiritual successor to Gamefan. Hardcore Gamer sounds great, but it's missing...something.

EDIT: "Restart" would be perfect.

Is it just me or did a lot of posts just disappear? I was on page 22 (30 posts per page) and now I'm just on page 17.

I'm still on page 22, and wow, two Jeremys in one thread.
