GameFan Magazine

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.
GameFan magazine had Phantasy Star 4 on the cover?? Oh oh oh, that is RESPECT.

The Most Dangerous Game 

Long ass story you might have to read in English. Bout some russian dude trying to own the main dude but fails horribly at the end.
The Most Dangerous Game.
Where Commies never win.

The Game 

The Game is a game that takes over your entire life. It is played according to the following rules:

1. Whenever you think of The Game, you have to tell everyone you're with that you thought of The Game.

2. If someone that you tell doesn't know what The Game is, you have to explain The Game to them.

3. If there is no one around when you think of The Game, you have to call the person who first told you about The Game to tell them that you thought of The Game.

4. After someone says that they thought of The Game, there is a 20-minute grace period for everyone to forget about The Game before it can be brought up again.

And that's it. Annoy your friends!
Seth: Oh, Liz, I just thought of The Game.
Liz: Shut the fuck up, Seth. No one wants to hear about your stupid Game.

Gamespot Forums

A horrible place for many reasons.

The rules are extremely strict and some of them can be interpreted in different ways, and usually are, by the mods. You can get suspended or banned for almost anything. Recently I was modded for mentioning /b/ in a sentence. Dumbasses.

Most people there have no sense of humor and have their sarcasm detectors off at all times.

OT is plagued by religious debates. The wastes of time and air who post in them are some of the most vile people you will ever meet on the internet.
I was in OT on the Gamespot Forums yesterday and the whole first page was nothing but 17 religious threads 3 threads that were ripping off of a /b/ meme from two years ago.

Massive Action Game 

A first person shooter that offers lesser graphics for sheer in-game intensity, especially when playing the bigger 256 player "Domination" games. An absolutely awsome game that is well structured, and most importantly, balanced. You have to side with one of the three available PMCs (Private Military Contractor/Company).

Valor: A modern day army with modern equipment you would find now (M4A1, SCAR, M14EBR). Gun attributes are moderate fire rate, moderate accuracy, and moderate damage. Modeled after the US.

Raven: A technologically advanced army with expensive equipment (AUG,F2000,G3). Gun attributes are low accuracy and low damage, but high handling (low recoil) and rate of fire. Modeled after Europe.

SVER: An economically deprived guerilla army with cheap russian equipment (AK74U, AN94notcheaplolz, Dragunov). Gun attributes are low rate of fire, low accuracy, low handling (high recoil), but high damage per bullet. Modeled after Russia/China.

If you can handle the intensity of 64, 128, or 256 player games, then you will have a blast in this underrated yet incredibly fun game. If you can't, then you will hate it for your lack of skill and common sense and go back to playing easier games such as Black Ops or Bad Company 2.
Admit it Battlefield fans, Massive Action Game defines what an all out battlefield should look like.
