About

I am a bit of completionist. How much of one I can claim to be depends more upon individual definitions of the term than anything, but I happily own it as I often spend more time than is probably reasonable in pursuit of that last elusive piece of loot. That final 1% of the 100% in my collection that hides somewhere, laughing at me...

Websites abound dedicated to helping people plumb the depths of almost any game. GameFAQs and YouTube, for example, are notable with the first offering text based information and the second video and/or audio advice. Personally, I have found myself on numerous occasions wishing for a cross between the two methods.

A quick hint, requiring little time to process and little trouble to isolate. I know I can't be the only gamer to experience impatience when having to stop fluid gameplay to focus on comprehending a string of letters describing what I'm after. Wouldn't a picture be faster (and worth a thousand words)? Here video-based guides are very useful, but what if you only need one or two hints? This mostly ends with skipping through a 30 minute video for a particular 15 second segment, which more often than not I accidentally skip over at least once.

Thus, the idea for this website was born with necessity being the mother of invention, as usual. It occurred to me after remembering ZeldaDungeon's walkthrough format, which had proved particularly helpful. While their guides are primarily text-based, they include screenshots illustrating the progressing story or (as was important to me) visual clues. I found myself figuring out myself what the text would have communicated after glancing only at the pictures.

"Ahh! I need to be in such-and-such area to find the special-thing..." I rarely wanted or even needed step-by-step instructions, just a hint. Something to narrow down the search parameters, so to speak. A tiny detail in the background was sometimes all that was necessary to put me on the right track. Ever since I realized my preference, I've used pictorial guides instead of text or video wherever available, but there seem to be few by comparison (in my experience, at least).

So, starting with the games I already own and proceeding from there, this is my contribution to the large community of people constructing guides for games. It will certainly prove useful to me, at least, for future playthroughs (after I've forgotten the hiding place of something or other); but more than that, I hope it proves useful to my fellow gamers!

Feel free to leave tips and comments, especially about anything I've missed, and since I've never made a website before, any advice on that subject would be much appreciated too!
