In this very special episode of GameSpotting, the editors go back in time to warn themselves of an impending disaster. It was a solid plan, except that we totally forgot to write it down, and now we can't remember what we were going to warn ourselves about. It'll come to us eventually, but in the meantime, we figure we'll just talk about games. There's no method to our madness here, so feel free to check out the columns in any order you see fit, and if the mood strikes you, know that you always have the option to converse with others about the topics at hand in our spacious, well-lit forums. Or, if dialogue isn't your thing, keep it one-sided and submit your very own GuestSpotting column.

Jason Ocampo/Associate Editor
"Years before Doom came out, serious gamers were playing this over the Internet. And they're still playing it today. You could as well, and for free!"

Collecting Memories
Bethany Massimilla/Community Manager
"I fall into that category of gaming enthusiast who has just about every piece of game software they've ever bought in their entire lives."

The Genius of Game Gimmicks
Greg Mueller/Intern
