Can't reply in the News section, so thought I'd start a thread here about it.
Anyone care to speculate on what they think this big news might be? I know I'm curious.
Any admin want to tease us with some more clues?
-
Have no idea, but cool to have been here for almost 7 years of this 10 year anniversary lol Should be fun.
As for the big news...visual website overhaul? I'm really not sure what to expect.

Just over 8 years, here.

Probably a mandatory paid game pass to use the site or Microsoft bought them.

I’m being made a mod for being a model forum member.
-
I imagine it's going to be another giveaway contest like 5 years ago? I'm excited to find out what it is regardless! :)
-
FYI, I’m in the final stages of putting this all together. You won’t get answers from any of the other staff members, because they’ve all been kept in the dark too. Only Jason and I know what is to come. ;D
-
The suspense!
-
December 2013 already! :o
-
Excuse my pessimism, but I'm hoping it's not something to the effect that you're selling the site off and it's changing hands, i.e Nintendo Age / Sega Age. Pity what happened to those places. "Go Collect" is a farce of a once great site. But I know you guys wouldn't do that to us.

Secret Summer Santa??

Wow I've been here almost 10 years. Let's see what you have in store.
-
This site is merging with Blizzard is the first thing that came to mind. I'm ready to be hired and fired in the same breath.
-
visual overhaul of the site perhaps?
-
Secret Summer Santa??
I had designs to do something like this for a while now, a Secret Santa Christmas in July or something to that effect. Announce it on April 1st, then have everyone wrap up with "Christmas" being July 4th. :P

This is the most logical conclusion.

We all have to pay penitence to the admins in the way of nudes.
Not in sending them. We have to look at theirs. Pugmire has been sending them to me for months now.

But seriously, what even is a Pro Supporter? It's a title you receive when donating to the website or something?

Hahah with your 3000+ games, it sure takes a long time!
-
Looking forward to the live stream and helping the site celebrate. I haven't been here long but I've felt welcome. I appreciate this community for that.
Happy 10 years VGCollect!

There's going to be a livestream?

Any updates on the status of this by the way? :)

All I can say is thank you all for this site, and letting me and so many others contribute, I've been to many forums and sites. Before this one and this one is by far the best forum and the best gaming site on the internet. :)
-
Any updates on the status of this by the way? :)
I’m pretty much ready, just trying to nail down a time that is good for all involved. Expect something soon-ish.
Oh, and I feel like I should clarify one thing. The “big” part of this is the giveaways. We have several hundred dollars worth of stuff that we’re giving away. There’s some news that I think people will like, but it’s not THAT big. The site isn’t being sold or anything like that, so don’t worry.

I figured, but it's good to have some official confirmation.

The good news is there is several hundred dollars worth of giveaways.
The bad news is it’s all Phillips CDi controllers and hotel Mario loose discs.
Sorry I’m spoiling it TPug. I just can’t bear to see you string these nice folks along like that. ;-)
Also, don’t worry about the site ever shutting down folks.
I would attempt to buy it before letting that happen.

Jokes on you, I'd like that giveaway.

Same here, what do i need to view this? Youtube, Twitch, Zoom, etc?
I dont have it all.
-
If I’m not mistaken, it will be on twitch and available on YouTube after. DashV is handling that end of things for us.

I am not well versed in Twitch. I have an account but never use it.
Do we need a link? Or a channel/username to find?
-
Oh, btw. Do we need a camera to interact for this, or do we just watch? Don't have a camera on my PC, wondering if I might need the phone app.
-
You don't need an account to watch on Twitch, but I do believe that you need one to interact / chat. Camera should be totally unnecessary.
-
I'm not sure it's even been made clear whether we would be actively participating in the stream like Secret Santa or if we're all just watching.
-
I have some crazy expensive training that ends at 730pm Central, so I'll try and watch, but I probably can't listen.
-

Thank you.
-
It’ll be a pretty much watch-only thing, although there is a chat if I’m not mistaken. I’ve never really used twitch myself. As soon as I get a link, I’ll post it here and in the sign up thread.
-
I’m a little too excited for this
-
As you should be, Turf. As you should be.

You guys are killing me
-
You're welcome
-
Great stream, again! Thanks for the time involved and the money put in to celebrate.
-
Thanks for all you cats did tonight! Such a good time.
Cartagia, what a win! I’m super-jealous of that!
Pugmire, I thought you were going to rig it for me! I sent you all those Bea Arthur nudes too.
-
That was fun, thanks for watching. I hope everyone likes their prizes!

I still can't believe it! Like I said in the chat, I had actually been looking at Analogue products earlier. Even without that blind luck on my part it was super cool and fun to listen to the history of the site!
-
Y’all! I’m Double Pro. Look to the left. I’m Pro under Pro Supporter
A LITTLE BOY CAN DREAM!
-
Uhhhh so ... what happened?
-
Yes thank you to all of you who took the time and effort to put together that celebration for us! I had a ton of fun hanging out with you guys :)
-
I didn't stay as long as I would have liked but it was fun to hop on. Highlights were seeing all fun appreciation videos and learning all about the history of VGC!
-
I really appreciated the messages. After I started taking a step back and eventually disappeared, I had a hard time coming back because I felt like I let people down.
But it makes me very happy to see this place thriving and how tight knit the community still is.
Made my ol grumpy grinch heart grow 3 sizes.
-
Uhhhh so ... what happened?
We had enough prizes that everyone won something. I’ll post the list today. I was going to do it last night, but I had to get to bed.
-
Uhhhh so ... what happened?
You're $5 richer!

Oh snap. Everyone won something?
-
Yeah, but to be fair, most of the prizes were vgc pro subscriptions or $5.00 gift cards.
-
It was a good time! Thanks for the Pro Subscription! And congrats to Catagia for that sweet Analog.
I have to apologize. I totally got that message about making a video. I told myself I'd make one when I get a minute. Then forgot. Sorry. Wasn't trying to ghost that message.
-
Yeah, but to be fair, most of the prizes were vgc pro subscriptions or $5.00 gift cards.
Prizes are prizes. Thanks again to all that set this thing up!
-
I said this in the stream already, but I have my eye on a couple $5 Switch games I want, so I'm quite happy :) Thanks for such generosity on this tpug!
-
Great stream! I watched the part I missed this afternoon. I had fallen asleep
-
Im very old school so that was my very first live stream! It was fun thanks again to everyone and thanks for making me feel welcome.
-
Ah, shoot, I completely spaced on keeping an eye out for this happening, but good on everyone who got some fun prizes.
-
Yeah, but to be fair, most of the prizes were vgc pro subscriptions or $5.00 gift cards.
But only one Double Pro title

Telly, have you ever seen The Highlander? There can be only one!

Time for a title match!

I was thinking something more along the lines of an old fashioned western duel ;)

It took me a few days to get through the whole stream video, between work and kids I just don't have the time to sit down and watch something for 3 hours :P
Anyway, I appreciate the Pro subscription! I made it down to the last few names for the grand prize.
It's nice to put faces to the names I've seen on here. To answer your question, yes my screen name is a combination of pro wrestling and Transformers. I actually never made the connection to Metroid Prime until you brought it up :D Transformers are my "main" collection, with games being more of a "side" collection. Tripredacus is a member of the same TF forum I'm on.
You guys talked about physical vs digital, and I'm kind of in the same boat in that I would much prefer physical, because then I don't have to worry about my console hard drive failing, but some of those online store deals are just too good to pass up. In a recent sale I got the Castlevania Anniversary Collection for $5 on PSN; that's a steal.

That a great game to own :)
I actually played Chex Quest before. using a Zdoom engine called Zandronum, if you want to play that on a modern windows PC I highly recommend going to Zanronum's website and download Zandronum. once you download if you want to find the .WAD file on the Chex Quest Disc or CD. and and only copy and paste that file it into a folder on your hardrive. than install Zandronum and tell the program where the Chex.WAD file. than you should be good to go, there is some newer blood and graphic options when using Zandronum you otherwise not have with just the standard game by itself.
From what I remember you can run the following games off the Zandronum engine.
1:Ultimate Doom
2: Doom 2
3: Final Doom Platunia Experment
4: Final Doom TNT
5:Chex Quest 1
6: Chex Quest 3
7: Freedoom
8: Strife
9: Heritic SW
10: Heretic Shadow Of The Serpent Riders(full version of game)
11: MegaMan 8-bit Deathmatch
12: Hexen
13: Hexen: Deathkings of the Dark Citadel
14: Strife: Veteran Edition
15: Strife (Full)
16: Doom "BFG Edition"
17: French Doom II
and many more (free to play games) here is the link to all the games listed and free to play and download ones
https://zdoom.org/wiki/IWAD
HERE IS A LINK TO THE FREE ENGINE CALLED ZANDRONUM (formally known as Skulltag)
https://zandronum.com/
according to IWad site in the first link what you have there @ferraroso is a rare PC game once sold inside Chex Cereal Boxes and is therefore no longer sold legally, good game hope I can help if you want to play that game. just so you know it's a first person shooter game like the original Doom games were
sorry to but in but I had to say something, because that is a great thing to have.
