Game Spot has many users all over the world and yet, those users weren't just grown on tree to express like that. How did you managed to get here anyway? I'll begin how did i. I was looking for some popular gaming site on google, simple URL, many games, cheats etc. Then i See: www.gamespot.com, curios, i link to this web site, tryout couple of games, when i see many options (game collection, forums, cheats etc.)And i decided to keep it my favourite. Let me hear your story!

Randomly put videogames.com into the address bar...well this was back when GS was indeed videogames.com, so you can still type that in and get redirected to GS today.

Haha dude that's EXACTLY how I found Gamespot. Back in 2001 I think, (my username is fairly new)I wanted to buy a game but I wanted to know what was good so I said **** it and I typed in videogames.com and I've been following Gamespot ever since.

About 4 or 5 years ago, before I had a computer, I would search for cheat codes for my games on Google in my school library. I would always click a link that brought me to GameSpot and I'd look around the site. I've been coming here a lot but it wasn't until recently that I made an account and have become saturated in the community.

My best friend at the time had gotten into the site and I signed up after he prodded me to. I even made my name on the spot to be an offshoot of his because I didn't expect to keep this account nearly as long as I did. After all is said and done ThatOneGuy no longer posts here, but I'm still around.

I used to look for games on best buy and when I read the reviews the window said "Powered by Gamespot". When I clicked on some link I was brought to some complicated hard to use sight. Typed in gamespot.com a fewmonth's later and was brought here. I watched uservideos for a while then decided to join.

GS was like the only good gaming site back then (199x), finding it was not hard when looking for a video game site.

I followed Samwel X when he wasn't looking. >_>

In reality I was forced here by the great Gamefaqs merger of 2005. I pretty much ignored the place for most of the first year, but eventually I found my way here out of boredom and started poking around at the site and decided I rather liked the way it was set up and I've been posting sumo pictures ever since.

I actually have no clue, I came here about 6 years ago when the community didn't suck.

Sadly, now it's filled with 12 year olds who cry at the sight of flame. Meh.

It all started when I was born.

When I was 7 years old I went to the elementary school.Two years after that, a boy came in our school and after sometime we became best friends. One day I went to sleep over and his brother was watching Smackdown in his TV.

I liked the show and bought a magazine which had to do with wrestling...that magazine was sugesting the readers to watch some related videos on youtube! So right that instant I open my pc and visit the site. As I watched some videos though I was watching a video about video games and stuff.While I was reading the comments someone wrote that if anyone wanted cheats for videogames, they should go to Gamefaqs!! Well I went to gamefaqs to see if there were any cheats for Metroid Prime, but when the results of my search were displayed, there was also Metroid Prime 2 there and, to my surprise, Metroid Prime 3!!

I didn't know metroid prime 3 was out for Gamecube, so I searched for "metroid prime 3:corruption" in the site. As I looked more carefully it wasn't published for the gamecube but for the "Wii".I didn't know what that strange "wii" thing was so I googled it. Some results were pointing at this site!! I visited gamespot to learn about the wii and enter the forums. I enjoyed spenting some time here and after some days I entered other boards. I entered system wars, General discussion and then there was it...

"OT" shined in front of me and I click on it. I tried to sign up but I didn't know I didn't need to pay to sign up, so I just watched conversations and stuff..

After some years I found out that I could be a member without aying and I became a member here, in gamespot.

That is my story... I recognise now that I was born for this sole purpose: To visit OT.

It still brings tears into my eyes...

I searched for some advice on a video game and found GameSpot that way. It wasn't until later that I finally joined, and I regret not joining sooner sometimes. :P

I would recommend that you wait until you've been picked up for a second season and they can't afford to replace you. :D
