In 2005 I lived and breathed fansites, many of which I can still name off the top of my head: Eyes on Final Fantasy, Zelda Universe, Animal Crossing Ahead, DK's Jungle Vine—outside of gaming magazines, these sorts of websites dominated my bookmarks folder so that I could hunt down any scrap of news from the games I was obsessed with.
Another that I somehow still have bookmarked, a dozen PCs later, is The Jazz Messengers, which is remarkably still online despite having a single page of news updates over the last 22 years. The webmaster popped back up to post some photos from the doomed live action Cowboy Bebop series in 2021, but didn't bother to post anything else about the series. I hope, wherever they are, that they see fit to share their reaction to this bit of news: the Cowboy Bebop PlayStation 2 game that they first wrote about on June 13, 2004 is finally playable in English.
