For those that remember the GIA

No, not a return, just wishful thinking: http://thegia.com/

Wow, the GIA. Haven't been to that site for what, 5 or 6 years?

What???? Dreamcast 2? Sega is getting back into consoles?

That's because it shut down seven years ago: http://www.psy-q.ch/mirrors/thegia/site ... index.html

What I posted is a... tribute? Wishful thinking? I wouldn't call it a hoax because I don't think the intention is to fool anyone, and the "news" is obviously not. But it's fun to look at.

Edit: I didn't think anyone would believe this is real. Read the other stories. It's obviously the direction the author wishes the industry had gone in.

Yeah, it's more of a tribute with obviously fake stories and definitely fun.

Wow, didn't even remember GIA was shut down. Just figured it was one of those sites I stopped going to like RPGFan

I recall when it was shut down, I thought it was longer than 7 years ago though. We should have posts here about it.

April 1, 2002. I rounded down from seven years, four months. (Check the mirror.)
