Geez, sounds like we almost lost HSD! Dman good thing we didn't. I wish I was here from Day 1, but I was just a kid back then. I wish I knew the story of Xbox-Scene...
EDIT: I love how he says that we've drying up, and that mediocraty is setting in. Back then, could we have imagined ourselves as we are today, on the edge of one of the greatest console launches in history, starting the second battle of the MS, Sony, and Nintendos? I personally can't believe the Scene was kept alive as long as it was. How did our mods ever find all that news?
EDIT 2: BTW, that's copyright infrigement...
