My bad for assuming, then. Similarity in names and avatars even.

If the avatar and the name are the same it was me :p. I probably created an account to comment on an article I found particularly interesting and just forgot that I created the account. I've never seen anyone use that combination of names before (Shenmue+Zone of the Enders mech) so it is 100% mine lol.

Were you on the GameSpot Legacy Boards? I could just be getting my memory mixed-up since I was using both that board and the Racketboy board at the same time. I was a regular there before they moved the site and ruined it (although I was already contemplating leaving due to a re-occurring troll that wasn't getting handled right and ruining the board).

haha yes I was a longtime Gamespot user! What was your account on there? I remember that troll, Another48Hours right? I was fine with Gamespot until they abandoned their legacy community when they revamped the site several months ago. On top of that, I believe they removed the collection feature so my entire collection was lost on that site. All well, this place is better anyways :)

And yeah, that's the troll. This site is definitely better.

I thought it was you when you mentioned Gamespot :p. Yeah, so far I like it a lot. Wow, well hello again Emerald, I mean burningdoom :)

Similar situation...  IGN also had a pretty awesome collection listing before they also revamped the site.  I just wanted to mention and relate.


Please check out the games I have for sale.

As mainstream gaming websites I guess you can't blame them for removing the collection features on their websites and pretty much abandoning collectors/retro gamers. While both are gaining popularity, retro gaming and especially collecting are a pretty niche thing compared to how many people who only own a 360 or PS3 and only buy newer games. Still sucks though.
