The GameFan history thread

[Wolfie]

There was one sort of upside to not getting paid at GameFan- a lot of us got really good at playing Command and Conquer! No money that day..? Well no production either. Just 8 hours of C&C and warcraft. Good times.

Something I whipped up real quick.

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.

Didn't say it was necesarily a great idea, just an interesting one.

I like the ...dare you continue? bit.

For some reason this is making me think of the "hold reset before turning off your console" messages on the NES.

I assume everyone on staff had side jobs to cover the expense of, ya know, living? I could't survive on my savings for months at a time.
