Greatest North American video game trade publication in recorded history.
Created by Dave Halverson, it revolutionized western gaming magazines by using thicker, richly layered, ink-heavy pages with tons of photos and oftentimes humorously hyperbolic text ("eye-flaying, mind-numbing, A+++ action!!!"). GameFan alone began the now common practice of covering import/Japanese gaming with as much fervor as domestic products, and giving RPGs and niche titles as much room as the usual banal sports and action games.
Its eventual price hike to $6, not to mention the less than monthly frequency in which its deadlines were hit and, subsequently, magazines were shipped to readers, eventually caused its downfall, but not before shaping the business for years to come.
Notable alums include Halverson, Casey Loe, Dan Jevons, and Nick "Rox" DeBarres.

Phrase to be spoken in a terrible Austrian accent after having heard the word "tumor" in any way, shape, or form.

Phrase to be uttered whenever one is very hungry. Can also be substituted as "Elf needs food badly" and "Valkyrie needs food badly". Never "Wizard needs food badly" though, since no one with half a brain played as that character.
Speaking of which, its origin: Derived from the classic 80s arcade game "Gauntlet" where characters low on health would need to find food immediately for survival.

One of the lamest of the lame 80s hair bands, whose most notable song "Sporting A Woody" pristinely and simultaneously denotes exactly what kind of music they made and what kind of fans they were courting.
Sportin' a woody, when you're walking byyyy! Sportin' a woody, when your titties fly!! What great music Dangerous Toys were able to create. Or not.
