How did YOU find HG? v3

hey no other updates or is there new thread or active users here?
hmm i guess no one again. how sad. My friend introduce me this site but nobody are here.

There are people here posting daily, but apparently not in the threads that you're checking! There are still some areas where we don't have a lot of active participants, including MMORPGs, but we're growing!

It's true we don't really have an extremely dedicated forum user base. We're more focused on the actual reviews.

ESPIGA'S TOTALLY AWESOME HG STORY V: 1.117ß

Once upon a time, deep in Honestgamers Hell, which is located one tier higher than Bluberry's Realm Blog, there was a reviewer named Scott. The aim conversation went something like so:

Scott: Join honestgamers and look at all of my awesome reviews, blah blah I'm so awesome I'm so awesome me me me me me

Me: Not really but ok.

And so I joined and didn't post a review for months. And then real life took me by the balls and I didn't post a review for months. And here I am. Wanna cuddle? =D

heya no new thread?
wtf!!? this forum site is good to be dead. lol ^^
how sad no other active user here.

IDK if this is still the main topic, but I found this site on Neoseeker when I was looking at a Walkthrough a few months ago, so I'm a newbie here...

Elite, what the hell are you talking about? There's new threads being created all the time. Check out the actual forums (big blue button along top of the screen that says "forum"). Try making some new posts yourself, if you think there aren't enough.

One Mr. Venter told me about this site, drawing lofty comparisons such as "It's like the treasure of the Sierra Madre!" and "5.5% financing!" And here I am to this day. The end.

Lies! You followed me here to deepen out ever-growing rivalry which will end when I take your head.

And that day is coming....

^ Or just negatively reviews all the games he knows and loves.

Haha, as soon as you log into HGwars, I'm going to take YOUR head and stick it on a pike. I'll tell Chuckles it's a shishkabob.

From GameFAQs, obviously, though I don't remember how exactly.

I found the site from Google that linked to one of Jason Venter's old editorials about growing up on Nintendo. I used to really like reading those things, I wish there was a feature still like it on the site.

I miss the old green and black format that used to be on the site back in '03ish. It gave the site a certain underground feel, like it was a secret that not many people knew about it. It was fucking miserable though, and I doubt it attracted many visitors besides myself. I just kinda miss the old days where I would pretend to be older than I really was by entering competitions and writing the most shitty, terrible reviews in which I made myself look like a complete idiot. I could probably write a decent review now but I don't really have any motivation to do so.

Erm I found HG just by surfing around the net, and I found some pretty cool ones over at this site....So yeah, I decided to register. That's pretty much it.

I just followed everyone from Gamefaqs. Boring, but true.

hey, it's espnking! I'm only three months late noticing, haha if you see this how've you been?

Some of the forums here aren't used a lot because the ones that are (the reviews) are used everyday. Discussing the latest reviews is what the Reviewers consider "Chit Chat". So if you don't see a lot of actual "chit chat" in the Chit Chat section, then now you know why.

Right now I'm playing so many games at once that I can't post an honest review of any of them because I haven't finished them yet! And with the new DLC of Gears of War 2 out, and Marvel Vs. Capcom 2 on the Xbox Live Marketplace, and new games on the horizon....oh no...I'm getting sucked in....aaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh....

At least I can post a new "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" review soon. Just gotta stop playing the other games long enough to finish the review...DANG YOU RELEASE CALENDAR!!! DANG YOU TO HECK!!!

I was doing a Google search for some very specific information on a game I am playing and I found this site had an excellent guide. As I poked around on this site I thought WOW this is really cool. How come I never knew about this before - Now all my firends know and I really like guides and reviews.

Well, that was exciting huh?

I don't remember. Something to do with big plants.

By Google. I was doing a search about Games FAQs and Walkthroughs other than Game FAQs and IGN, and ended up here.

yeah.. so i'm asking why is this site so quite and no one doesn't want to help regarding some inquiries. does this site has a moderators?

i was also invited by Jason to contribute to HG after he saw my reviews over at GameFaqs.....now im a freelancer at HG :D

hm.. I think I was searching for a Mirror's Edge review, and happened to click on Zipp's review here. I didn't like what the review said, and I still think it was terribly wrong on a number of levels. But it was well written, and the reasoning was really well described. So I thought - a site with reviews like that - well described view-points that were not like my own - would be a good idea to visit again.

I came from GameFAQs, along with many others. I came at the time when HG was basically already up and running though, but while the GameFAQs' scene was still active. People were already crossposting their material on the two, but I didn't bother with HG for a while because I thought it was small time, like some dude's geocities site. Eventually it became clear that the GameFAQs' scene was migrating to HG, and I realized that HG was much better than I had given it credit for, so I jumped onto the bandwagon.
