Mainstream like the BBC?

Good to know. I did a search on the combine forum to see if there was a previous thread discussing combining the two games, and I didn't see anything on the topic. That, and I saw the DS release of Final Fantasy III on the release list on the primary page, and made an assumption that it turns out to be false. Ah well, all's well that ends well.

Primary Page: http://www.giantbomb.com/final-fantasy-iii/3030-21463/

Duplicate Page: http://www.giantbomb.com/final-fantasy-iii/3030-31147/

The duplicate is specific to the DS Release of Final Fantasy III, which is already included in the main page. I've moved the new information from the DS Specific page over to the Primary page, so in theory you can do the combination without losing any information.

If 2b happens, then 2 has to happen as well (because, well, "Ryan Davis presents... Ryan Davis" would be awesome).

Damn. While I'd listened to him on the Bombcast, I remember meeting him at SDCC 2010 at the Whiskey Media meet-up, and he (along with everyone else - IIIRC Sara, Rorie, Norm and Will were there) were great to meet and talk to. However, what really stuck out in my mind was that Ryan thought that I looked like a younger Jeff - enough so that he took a picture with his smart-phone to send to Jeff.

So, I offer my deepest condolences to Ryan's family and friends. He was a helluva guy.

Really great series of articles! As far as a vote on your next topic goes, the 38 Studios thing sounds particularly interesting - especially tax credits for game development studios is becoming something of A Thing.

This is really, really cool. The only thing that's keeping it from having an even bigger leg up over BackLoggery, would be some sort of way of including your GOG collection, but I'm not sure GOG has an API that would let you connect people's accounts (never mind tracking things like "played/unplayed") - so that's probably a moot point.

@believer258: I've posted my Nintendo Power Retrospective series of videos from my blog on the board in the past (in addition to posting my video reviews as reviews), and they weren't locked. As it is, my purpose for posting my video here is less to promote my YouTube channel, and more to share my thoughts on the game and hopefully to have some discussion of some of the points I brought up in the video (for example, the importance of environmental storytelling in speculative fiction games) - as well as taking an opportunity to laugh together at some of the dumber bits of the game's story.

@immortalsaiyan: I wouldn't call it amazing, but I would say that the game has extremely good gameplay, and I think that it's a game that would really benefit from an co-op option. I hope that if we get a Inafune finds a way to include co-op in the game.

@believer258: I know that you can write reviews, but I do like video reviews more as a formatting choice, being that video games are an audio-visual medium - which is why I started doing video reviews in the first place.

When attempting to add a game to a list from the list in question (along with deleting a game which somehow had gotten on there on its own), I got the "Something has gone surprisingly horribly wrong" message, when I attempted to save my changes.
