The older I get, the more malleable my convictions get. Dogma gets supplanted by nuance, relationships grow ever more complicated, and every time I look in the mirror I see an aging face I recognize less each day. It's as if only one thing, one undeniable truth, is certain: I would not have beaten the Subspace Emissary in Super Smash Bros. Brawl at age 8 without GameFAQs.
GameFAQs isn't getting any younger, either. On Nov. 5, it turned 30; and like me, many of its longtime users are taking to the internet to share their memories of the venerable site. You may remember it for its user-uploaded game walkthroughs, cheat code lists, those ASCII art logos people would head their posts with, or even its primordial form as the Video Game FAQ Archive when the site began in 1995.
