I have a Halo 3 guide that's like 120 pages laying around somewhere still, it had like top-down view guides to the maps with labels and things. It did not make me good at Halo 3 when I was 12 lol.

People would print all kinds of poo poo when I worked in the main computer lab in undergrad, because they didn't charge per page back then.

The most memorable one was when I was refilling a printer that had just run out and I realized it had been printing the entire script for Gladiator, except it was in notepad and like quintuple spaced, so there were maybe ten lines per page.

Were you not entertained?

I spent most of a summer break going downstairs every five minutes to check a guide and then going back upstairs to my bedroom trying to get everything in FFX. I never did end up getting half the ultimate weapons but I was able to one shot everything in the final dungeon

I think I still have a VHS tape I recorded going through the list of all the finishing moves on whichever one introduced babalities on the genesis.
Thanks for the reminder

Also, memories of the numpty headed college I went to. They would charge 10cents a photocopy in the library, but the laserjets in the the computer lab were free for all.
Your administration was garbage, and you may have cranked your tuition and lab fees to the moon, but I managed to extract a printed copy of the complete works of Edgar Allan Poe as a concession prize

For me it was hundreds of pages of neopets item lists. I'd just look at the pics and read the names and imagine them I guess. Idk wtf was wrong with me.

me and my friends all did this poo poo in middle school and had dedicated folders to bring to class just to show eachother cool stuff we saw online at an increasingly greyscale level lol

the neopet item thing reminded me because we would make "stickers" by printing out a bunch of tiny images (each printed individually on the corner of a whole piece of printer paper, obv), cut them out then cover them in tape to laminate it, then glue them to our special folders. and petpets we wanted but couldn't afford were absolutely a victim of this practice

FFX and Kingdom Hearts 1 have the most insane endgame grinds- I've tried them both as an adult with a guide pulled up on my phone and gave up, I have no idea how anyone did it back in the day. Adderall had just been released to the public, maybe?

I’m almost done with Yakuza 4. I feel like the story would be tighter and more fun if it was just Akiyama and Tanimura. Bosses are a little bit of a pain but the game isn’t bad except Nair can gently caress off!!!

I will give Tanimura props for two things

1. essence of combos alone makes his playstyle bearable once you unlock it

2. you can persuade a guy not to jump off a roof to his death by throwing him off

I took advantage of the free undergrad printing and I printed off entire gamefaqs walkthroughs for Final Fantasy 5 and 6 and Chrono Trigger. Staggering back to my dorm under the weight of 900 pages of jrpg guide

Edit: I have a poo poo ton of 90s game magazines on my shelf, I've taken pics of some and will upload them
