Speaking of inside jokes from the pages of EGM; I've always wondered who was responsible for putting the hidden messages inside the legal mumbo jumbo at the bottom of next months preview page. As far as I can tell these were put in the magazine during the more recent years of EGM, and I never heard anyone else bring it up over the years.

I've noticed something since the launch of Bitmob. I've seen the start of a community that respects what other people have to say. It's so refreshing to come to a place where you can find unique and interesting discussions; ones that aren't lost in the all to frequent void of typical fanboy bickering.

I've been surfing game related sites for years. This is the first one I've been a part of where I've actually posted a blog or comment. On the other sites, I always felt like anything I had to say or offer would get lost in the static. At Bitmob however, it seems like the voices of all are heard and respected.

To Shoe and all the guys involved in starting Bitmob: You guys are off to an amazing beginning. Let's all start out early in promoting Bitmob as a unique place for people to gather. For this to be the site where someone decides to participate for the first time, rather than sit on the sidelines to avoid the fanboy fire, speaks volumes about the following you guys have.

To those that decides to visit Bitmob: Let your voice be heard! Let's take pride in this new and unique site! Let's not let it turn into the typical arguing over which system is better and all that garbage! We can all be part of the beacon that Bitmob will become: A shining example of what an online community should be.

I'm not talking about going on a lucky run of wins. I'm talking about the one game in which you hold absolute supremacy over all challengers. A game that when people try and take you on, their repeated losses send them into fits of red-faced controller throwing and borderline fist fights.

I'm going to have to go with WWF: No Mercy (N64) for my choice. Never in my entire history of playing games, have I seen such devestated opponents. I've witnessed friends destroy countless controllers after falling victim to my expert wrestling game skill. It got to the point where I couldn't even get anyone to play with me.

Let's hear which game it is for you guys. I'm sure there's plenty of "fits of controller destruction" stories out there!

P.S. Long live Elephant Sak! (Only true EGM fans will get that reference).

My earliest memory involving games was watching my parents play Pac Man as a very little kid. I used to get scared and cry when one of them would guide the P-Man into a Power Pill and send the ghosts into a blue terror. I'm 25 now and I still laugh my ass off when they remind me of it. If only I had known that the Power Pills were there for the benefit of Pac Man!

What other early memories does everyone still have stowed away? I remeber telling my parents to keep my NES on all day, so I could come home and resume playing the original Mario, that had been left on pause for like 8 hours. 

I remember my 5th grade teacher cutting a promo on me for not being able to remember math homework, while pointing out to me that I could memorize codes to Mortal Kombat and the password to unlock all levels on Pilot Wings for Super Nintendo. (If I still remember correctly the Pilot Wings password is 882943...can anyone possibly still have a copy of that to let me know if I'm right)?

I'd love to hear from everyone about their memories from the early years of their gaming experiences. I don't remember hearing this kind of post from anyone in recent memory and I'm sure there are some pretty good stories out there! Thanks for your time everyone.

(That NES my parents had still works perfectly by the way. I just have to give it the 'ol "blow till you're blue in the face" treatment every now and then).
