Where did you hear about gamefaqs?









I walked into that GameStop looking for a guide for Pokmon Colosseum. They didn't have any in stock and the employee there directed me to this website.

I wasn't old enough at that time for an account. A few years later once we had a decent home internet connection, I made an account (I was old enough by then, mods). I've been here pretty much everyday since

A friend back in the early 2000's had me go here for cheats. Now I am a prisoner of this place, for fuck's sake.

Other: I heard of it when the Babbage's in my local mall merged with Funcoland and became Gamestop.

Oh yea I misread. I think I found gamefaqs by looking for a faq. Probably used yahoo search engine because this most likely was pre Google

"The Gamestop, that I first heard about GameFAQs in, is no more."

That's a logically sound sentence.

I stumbled upon this site shortly after it opened up. I think it was through Aol that I found it.

The gamestop in which I learned of Gamefaqs has closed down

your title isn't like egregiously grammatically incorrect it's just real awkwardly phrased

Think I was either using a non-Google search engine in the early 2000s to look up cheats and found GameFAQs. Thought that it was much better than CheatCC.

It's been so long that I can't remember. I know I used to frequent cheatcc and gametalk. Eventually I discovered this place in 2002.

Found this site while searching for Goldeneye 64 codes and Pokemon walkthroughs on Yahoo. Must've been a top result too back in the day.

Perhaps, I can see how "The Gamestop is no more" could be awkward

I don't really remember anymore since it's been 18+ years.

I was probably Googling game walkthroughs and found GameFAQs as a resource, then later found out there were message boards.
