I was doing some browsing/research on the internet, when I came across the Internet Archive. I'd never been to this site before, and I found it very useful. One feture I got a kick out of was it's WayBack Machine. This feature allows you to brows archived websites by date and name.

First thing that comes into my head: what did Google look like before I started using it?

Second thing that comes to mind was GameSpot. I remembered that GS has been around forever, and I thought I'd check it out.

Here's the earliest snapshot of it that IA has: Novemebr 6, 1996
- Note the link for a Dial-Up version at the top
- Star Control 3 Demo

Here's GS on my 10th birthday: December 3, 1998
- Top Story: Selecting a 3D graphics card.
- Half-Life nearing completion

Here they are on my 13th birthday: December 3, 2001
- note it's getting a little more modern.

And here's the full archive! Enjoy

Also, for those of you who didn't know, GS used to be only for PC, VideoGameSpot.com was for consoles, check it out!

December 26, 1996
- 3 consoles: N64, PS, Saturn!

Well, Danny is better known as Tourettes Guy. If you've seen him, then you know what I'm talking about. Either you like his "comedy" or you don't. Even though the videos were basically the drunken antics of a man with tourettes, I must admit, watching them with a friend in the middle of the night for the first time got me laughing so hard I nearly collapsed.

Anyway, to be short and wicked, Danny is dead. He was involved in a car crash, spent some time in the hospital, and eventually succumb to his injuries. Read more on the website.

There is going to be one more video of unreleased Danny footage, and that's it.

So, long live Danny; your legacy will live on, on Google Video.

On a brighter note, University starts in a couple weeks. I can't wait! Already have my student ID and know the layout of the campus, so I have a leg up on the crowds of zombies that will flood in in September.

I bet when he saw God, he said " **** " (You know what I mean)

[[OMG! GameSpot spell checker doesn't know how to spell tourettes! Even I know how to spell it, and I'm the worst speller in the English language! ]]

And to fill that empty waste of time check out the simpsonize me website!

You'll need a photo of your face, and trust me it's picky. I tried it, but it didn't work. I've only got one photo up close of my face, and the digital camera is in Nova Scotia, and the web cam needs batteries.... oh well.
