Are you freaking kidding me!? The site gets featured HEAVILY in a Gametrailer's Pop Fiction video and it's not mentioned anywhere here? Not even the news section! They name dropped R51 specifically!
Was anyone here even aware they were doing this? This post has been edited by Narratorway on 31st December 2011 10:25 -------------------- |

It just goes to show: you want information on oldschool Final Fantasy games, you go to CoN.

I have yet to watch the video, as I've not been in front of a PC all day, but I can say that no, nobody at all has contacted me about this. I have to say I'm interested to see how awesome I seem to be?

Heh, that's very cool, but I didn't hear an R51 namedrop. Now if only they would try out my General Leo revival method...

Wow, that's really neat! I don't get around the internets nearly as much as I used to, so thanks for bringing this to our attention, NP! I remember first reading the FFVI rumors section here on CoN and being intreagued... We have such authority!

Holy crap! This is awesome CoN got not only a name drop but a whole section of the video talking about it! I wonder why they didn't contact any of the homies here and say, "hey guys, we're mentioning you in our cool video".
Although, when he's mentioned it's just as, "a user and editor named R51". He's not just a user, he's our head honcho! -------------------- kame, tortue, tortuga, schildkröte, tartaruga, turtle "Arthur Dent?" "Yes." "Arthur Philip Dent?" "Yes." "You're a total knee biter." |

They clearly know not of whom they speak. It's a nifty video, but obvious google of "FFVI Czar Dragon", is obvious. -------------------- If you've been mod-o-fied, It's an illusion, and you're in-between.

Now that my parents are no longer visiting, I managed to get some time to watch the video. Two things:
1. I guess I can't go changing around page URLs now. 2. I think I gave myself entirely too much credit, saying that I "hacked" anything on that page. Oh well! Beyond that, I think MogMaster has the best grasp on how CoN and I specifically got involved there - while I don't really care that they didn't call me some vainglorious title, whether or not it is entirely accurate, the video producers didn't appear to know much about CoN at all before finding it in a Google search. Just goes to show you that even though there aren't many sites like ours out there any more, there sure are a lot of gamers that have no idea we exist. -------------------- "To create something great, you need the means to make a lot of really bad crap." - Kevin Kelly Why aren't you shopping AmaCoN? |

Sweet deal!
It's not that it isn't deserved, by any means, but CON be covered by some other gaming authority, in a vid no less, is something I would never have expected to hear!

Good vid. Nice to see some publicity.
I like how they were like "after some more searching", even though the part about R51 is written right before where the rumor is written on that page. Makes for a good story anyway. |

Yeah, I totally need to play my copy of FFVIa again. I beat the game but didn't bother doing the extra tasks that you can do after. Now I'm kinda kicking myself having not done it before.
Also, lol for those guys googling CoN. You'd think they'd have spent more than five minutes checking out the site before doing their video. If you looked more deeply into CoN, you'd not on see that R51 is our leader but it explained directly on the page what the "rumor" was (faaaaake, with some real stuff thrown in). But I suppose if they just took our word for it, they'd not have an episode. -------------------- kame, tortue, tortuga, schildkröte, tartaruga, turtle "Arthur Dent?" "Yes." "Arthur Philip Dent?"

It would have been nice if we'd gotten a little more benefit from it. While it's cool to see us namechecked like that, they didn't actually give us any actual link out that I could find, which meant if anyone wanted to see this for him- or herself, they had to type in the URL that was shown for about ten seconds.
CoN only got about fifty visits from this, from a video that has over 130k views so far. Oh, well, no sense whining when it's fifty visits we didn't have before! -------------------- "To create something great, you need the means to make a lot of really bad crap." - Kevin Kelly Why aren't you shopping AmaCoN? |

I saw that too after I rewatched it again. Josh is right though, they should have provided a link to CoN if they were going to name drop. Not that just getting named dropped isn't bad, would have liked to have seen more credit for their episode. -------------------- kame, tortue, tortuga, schildkröte, tartaruga, turtle "Arthur Dent?"
