    Once upon a time, IGN offered wonderful, fascinating and top-rate sites on all forms of computer entertainment. They were free, and were loved by all.

    Then greedy capitalists got their hooks into it, and now it's a pay site.

    DOES ANYONE HERE know where there's a GOOD GameCube site that's deep and well-kept, and updated often enough, thats FREE?!?

    You are upset because IGN wants to make money off their work? Now I myself would never pay for that, but that doesn't mean I'm upset at them for going pay. I certainly hope those who do pay for it don't have to put up with ads anyway.

    Here's the deal, charity should NEVER be expected of people. Sure, everyone should have a cheritable personality, but at the same time they should have the attititude that other people being cheritable isn't expected at all from them. That way, you don't end up with JERKS getting mad when you don't hold a door open for them.

    I just go to the Gaming-Age forums for news. I wouldn't post there because there are many ugly no life losers there with attitude problems and will ban you for no reason at all, but it is an active place for news. Nintendophiles is awful. Go there if you're stupid or something... whatever.

    What's so awful about Nintendophiles? I seriously want to know why you think it's awful.

    Don't take it the wrong way. He hates everything. He even hates Mario Sunshine. So that means that your site is as good as Mario Sunshine! Quite a compliment indeed!

    Yeah, they update a few hours after Nintendophiles. :) Sorry, but we've been pissed of at PGC since they stole a story from us a few weeks ago.

    It was the story about Lufia being delayed. A lot of places credited us, but PGC didn't. We have a contact at Atlus that gave that information exclusively to us. The thing that really pissed us off was that PGC made it sound like Atlus told them about the delay, even though they copied a quote from our contact word-for-word.

    Nah, it's not worth it really. There are actually some sites that actually somehow got ahold of our press list that we use to get news. Of course we update the list every once in a while, but I still don't believe sites would actually use our press list when it has a big "Copyright by Nintendophiles" at the top of it. Oh well.

    I don't visit nintendophiles but I do a remember a point last year where some guy made up some fake interview over there or some shit. I thought that was sad so I never went there afterwards...

    I think you're thinking of the wrong site MgL. I visited it on and off until I started working there, and it's always been a very professional site.
