      Hey guys, my name is Darin and I've been a fan of GT/Easy Allies for quite some time now. I'd say I discovered them back in 2006 or 2007. It was before Super Smash Bros. Brawl was releasing and I was trying to find out everything I could about the game. Upon that I discovered the website and found myself going there almost every day. I'd say what I watched the most was Top Tens, the Retrospectives, Pop Fiction, Reviews, The Final Bosman, their Game of the Year content, and all of the ScrewAttack stuff (VGVs, Top Tens, & AVGN).

      I was so happy to find out about Easy Allies when it was announced and that they would be continuing their legacy. While I can't say I'm able to watch all of the content, I always enjoy what I do have the time to watch and I'm so glad for their success.

      While I realize most websites I've used in the past have basically transitioned to focusing on YouTube channels, there's one aspect of the sites that I really miss and that's the focus on user-generated content. I discovered quite a few bigger YouTubers by watching the "user-submitted content" on websites like ScrewAttack (which is now just a section on the Rooster Teeth website) and GameTrailers (which now directs to the YouTube page). For example I discovered JonTron, Game Theory, and The Gaming Historian all on ScrewAttack & Game Trailers. I loved discovering new creators at the time and it's neat to be able to say that I watched them at the start of their YouTube careers.

      I actually started releasing my own content in July of 2016 on my YouTube channel "VGSquirrel" but I began work on my first video in the Fall of 2014. However, due to some family stuff and other life-issues, I was working on it sparingly. However the first thing that came to my mind when I started was "Oh, I'll post it to YouTube, Game Trailers & ScrewAttack" Then in the Spring of 2016 it seemed like both websites went down. After that I haven't really known where to share my content since. I would like for like-minded individuals to be able to see my content as I do put dozens of hours of work into it.

      Now I've discovered the Blog Section of the Easy Allies website and I figured "Hey, what better place to share my work than with the spiritual successor of GameTrailers?" So here I am making this blog post.

      So, I'm going to post a few of my favorite videos that I've made so far and I'll have a brief text section explaining some of the significance of each one. Anyway, I hope you can check them out. :)

      I know this is an old topic but once I saw Parappa I had to respond. I haven't played the PS4 remake (I don't have a PS4) but the chicken is always the most difficult section for me. I'll try to beat the game quickly but the chicken always throws me off. Congrats on finally completing it!

    • RE: What did you just Buy/Receive?

      I haven't bought too much as of late but I recently did receive my Blue Sonic Mania Vinyl in the mail. So I'm happy to finally have that! :)
