Hahaha, another one like me!

Didn't they add "sales" real-time on the site? Utterly ridiculous.

In 2016, I met people from here before I actually knew about this place. I noticed they were sharing links to certain posts and I'd read it, but I never really thought much about it. The more I grew onto those people, the more I learnt about VGC. Someone managed to convince me to sign up and so I did. And that is how I discovered this place, by those amazing people <3 

I was searching for video game sales at the start of the PS3/360 generation. It was this or nextgenwars.com site.

I wrote an email to someone's gaming blog.  The comments said I sounded like a poster from VGChartz.

So I checked out this site.  For many years after that I mostly checked the front page articles though.  Very rarely I would look at the forums.  At the end of 2017 I saw there was a thread, "Post your top 50 video games of all time".  I had just made my own private list of 100 games, so I decided to join and post regularly.

Now...try coming up with a nerdier story than that.

Probably searching for console or game sales. I know I lurked from about 2011/2012, so maybe I was interested in 3DS or Vita's success. Can't really remember.

7th gen console war bickering. Didn't join until GameTrailers went under, though.

I was brought here from a thread on IMDb. They had a decent little game community in the time well before they shut down all of their forums. I actually only made an account to create a thread mocking people who cared about video game sales... then proceeded to get interested in video game sales and stuck around for 10+ years

I came here for sales and stayed for political discussions.

Geha （Japanese console war).

I was wondering how well Xenoblade 1 was selling when I was playing it at release.
