You guys always wait until I'm on vacation to start up the best threads.

Anyway I joined a few days after they switched from Planet N2000 to Planet Gamecube. I remember I f*cked up entering my email address in the registration and had to email Rick to send me my password. What a great first impression that was.
My fondest memories of the forum were back before E3 2001 when no Gamecube games had been officially announced and as a result massive speculation would result from even the smallest insignificant newspost. I remember the huge Zelda thread discussing what everyone wanted in the next Zelda game. Boy did things not turn out how we had planned.

I remember the day that scans of a magazine with exclusive Rogue Leader photos hit the net and the excitement that resulted. This was back when no games have even been officially announced mind you. It's actually rather disappointing to see the Gamecube now since it is nowhere near as amazing as we thought it could be back then. Sadly the N5 will probably share a similar fate. No console could ever reach the standard that its hardcore fans hype it up to be.
It's nice to see that I'm on the "cool list". Only on the internet would anyone think I'm cool.
