They did strip the soul out of the site in 2003.
And there's been some steady getting worse, like adding emoji.

Sounds like it means more sitewide contests so I'm cool with it.

Unless they start doing all fictional character shit.

"Before going into why this is important, we want to make one thing perfectly clear. The only change that is going to happen is a change in the domain. GameFAQs will sit on the GameSpot domain, but the two entities will not be combined in any way. That means that the sites will not share a single login. The communities will continue to be separate. There will be no additional oversight from GameSpot. There will be no additional GameSpot branding. Your old bookmarks and links will still work, redirecting you to the new domain. The only difference that youll see is if you look at the URL in your web browser, nothing more. You can say that the sites soul will be 100% less stripped than it was back in 2003." ~SBAllen, announcements board

CJayC said the same thing when CBS Interactive took over. It was so cute, the way we (I) believed that.

I mean, if I was 13 (like I was when I started posting here) then I'd probably be like "omg no, that sucks, ugh, i hate gamespot, way to sell out, this is the end of the site"

But as an adult I really don't have a reason to feel anything other than "Oh okay" "Sounds good"

Then again it's not like I use this site for anything other than board 8 anyway

You did indeed stab me in the back. However, you are only level one, whilst I am level 50. That means I should remain uninjured.

If entry is limited to characters with a meaningful history in video games, like Wolverine and Donatello, what would be the harm in letting them complete against Zero and Luigi once and seeing what happens?

How do you add emojis?


There isn't any easy way to add emojis to posts if you're on a PC. Right now, you'd have to consult a Unicode chart to obtain the necessary emojis you would like to add to your post.

One possible feature that could be added would be a character map option above the post message textarea (alongside the buttons for Bold, Italic, and other types of text) which enables common emojis and other special characters to be easily inserted into a post.

Depending on your computer there's also the option of opening the on screen keyboard which has a bunch of emojis, though mine doesn't have all of them.

Wow, I didn't even know about this trick. Well, this still doesn't really solve the issue of other special characters that aren't emoji. Windows 10 does have a Character Map program which does have some special characters, but even it contains only a very small fraction of characters from the entire Unicode standard.

I'm totally okay with Batman VS the contest winner (Link) as a bonus poll, but I don't want to see the contests themselves deviate from being a celebration of video games.

Alt codes are hampered by the fact that you need to actually remember them, and even they don't cover the entire Unicode standard.

Here's a complete list of Unicode characters:

http://www.unicode.org/Public/10.0.0/charts/CodeCharts.pdf

It's a massive file, so anyone could download if they want to use it to look up special characters.

Okay, but we're celebrating Mario 3 and Final Fantasy VII and Ocarina of Time for the 12th time (which I'm totally cool with)... at the exclusion of celebrating Turtles in Time, and Goldeneye, and Arkham Asylum, and The Simpsons, etc etc.

I think it's worth celebrating all games and their characters just once, and if the newcomers have no support they'll be eliminated in the first two rounds and we can get back to Ryu versus Squirtle from there out.
