Strategy Guide Love

[ebkyosuke]

I was thinking about how much I love guides for games. I used to read guides in magazines like Nintendo power and love them even though sometimes I hadn't even played the game. One example of this was the game Secret of Mana. I own it now, but for the longest time I never had played it but I would always read the guide they had for it in Nintendo

I had the Secret of Mana Nintendo Power guide too! That was literally the best thing! I would spend hours looking at all the pictures of the weapons and the monsters and reading the awesome narrative they had there - it really made the game a lot more awesome, and made the game about a million times more cohesive, because the translation was awful.

I paid $40 for a hardcover copy of a Fallout 3 GOTY Edition guide book, and I never regretted it. It's glorious in every conceivable fashion.

Speaking of games I think I might use my own music on something in the future, bud.

I remember when I was little and basking in the glory of my new Earthbound player's guide, it inspired me to start working on my own strategy game for my imaginary game. I drew everything out and even had all the stats for the monsters and characters figured out, heh. So yeah I love guides too :)
