So, a few years back, someone asked about the pictures from our final RPGCali meetup. I said that I had them, cos I was sure I did…and then I failed to find them anywhere.
Then, yesterday, my brother called me and said he had a CD which had all the pictures and random movies we took on that trip. Why he had the CD, I have no clue…but the bottom line is, I’ve got them all on my computer, now. All that’s left now is to figure out where I should upload them. Need some suggestions. I’ll be busy until later tonight, but I’ll get them somewhere ASAP if anyone’s still interested!
It’s almost sad, because we’ve been dormant like a sleeping dragon waiting to wake up and eat the village sheep, but some of our guides are still better than anything out there. Gamefaq’s HTML-linked FAQs are about as advanced as things got. The internet just kind of died when social media came around.
I have some complicated thoughts on this particular matter (especially on where Internet Energies have gone), but to keep it simple (stupid), even GameFAQ guides seem to have been supplanted by Let’s Plays and their ilk. Why even play a game when someone else can do it for you? Especially if other knowledgeable people get involved and share information that even the best guide makers would struggle to dredge up on their own.
There’s also specialized sites and Wikis if a particular game is giving me trouble. But for the most part, it does seem that RPGClassics remains the best source on some of the really old skool games for the NES and Master System stuff.
It also doesn’t help that I’ve fell out with Final Fantasy and Squeenix in general (still dragon my feet on getting Dragon Quest XI, even though its the safest goddamn buy from them in ages).
