Weekend Discussion: Until We Meet Again

by Chris Faylor, Jun 26, 2010 5:00am PDT

Friends and Colleagues,

As you may know, I'm stepping away from the day-to-day affairs of Shacknews to pursue other opportunities--specifically, what I hope will lead to a career in teaching.

The good news, though, is I'm not going away entirely. After three and a half years or so, I just couldn't just abandon you folks, so I'll still be around to contribute news, previews, and reviews on occasion, not to mention lurking about in Latest Chatty.

Come Monday, you'll meet our newest full-time staffer, whom I hope you'll be nice to.

So until we meet again, take care, and don't forget to hack the planet, okay?

  I didnt know that everyone thought Ninja Gaiden on Xbox was super hard until after I beat it. I jst though it was an awesome fighting game that challenged you to actually learn it's mechnincs to survive. From what I read about Demon's Souls, it is a different style of game, but in much the same way if you appreciate what the game was intended to be it is a unique take on how an action games can be played with caution and patience.
  
  When I was younger I would go to a friends house and beat his nintendo games for him. He , would just sit for hours sometimes and watch me play through to the end of some of his more difficult games just so he could experience them. I practiced this boulder level in Battletoads for gameboy four hours just so I could show him the end of the game.
