Let me first tell you a short story totally related to what I'm talking about on this post: I was browsing the 'net
and checking on some porn and some old websites that I check back in college that is not related to porn and I remember a website about my favorite artist named Jeremy "Norm" Scott who does a videogame-related comic on my favorite magazine, Electronic Gaming Monthly. Found a new link to his works (which can be found here) , and I was totally shocked that Electronic Gaming Monthly, or EGM for short, canceled their paper run and instead opted to go the way of digital media (or e-'zine) OMG!!! My favorite magazine which has some very funny and brutally honest editorial content is DEAD!!! Well, not really dead, but paper magazines are still my preferred reading material.So, in relevance to this, I present to you my list of other R.I.P. thingies (sorry, can't characterize it)
Friendster. Man oh man. That was the day that I looked at some sexy pictures of female strangers and where I started blogging. It had a good run. Now Facebook is the thing. I'm guessing by 2015 there will be another social-network site that will topple Facebook...
PS1, PS2, PSP. This is very sad. I'm a gamer. Because of work, I don't have time to play racing, fighting or adventure games anymore. I fondly remember playing the latest version of Tekken, Need for Speed: Underground, the Crash Bandicoot games before it was sold to a crappy developer and Ridge Racer. Now I settle for cellphone games and daily visits on Timezone arcade since they only took a little of my time. And speaking of cellphones...
Nokia 3200. Call
it a piece of crap design on the keypad (looking like a small fingernail) but I loved it. This was the time that I had lots of cellphone load and I don't have anyone to text with so I just downloaded some games. I especially liked the Dragon Knight game. It was so deep for a cellphone game. Not sure who the developer was...So there. I bid a sad, tear-wrenching farewell to these thingies. I'm sure I have a lot more on my head, but these are the ones that popped in my head... Until then, I also bid,
Goodbye...
