Famicoman Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 I've been waiting for the Video Game Bible to come back, redo their website, and perhaps come out with a new book for sometime. The site constantly said: "To return in 2005". I just went to see if it finally came back, and the adress seems to be dead. Could it finally be gone? http://www.videogamebible.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 Andy Slaven was at the Dallas vgXpo this past weekend. I spoke to him a bit and Video Game Bible isn't dead. I wasn't aware that the website was down, though (doesn't come up for me, either). And that, "To return in 2005" sounds like it's on track. He will be at PhillyClassic in November. ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Famicoman Posted August 22, 2005 Author Share Posted August 22, 2005 Maybe he just got behind in paying for it. Hope to see him at the Philly Classic though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Video Game Bible Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 Yep, I'm still alive. I changed the payment info for the site, around the time that it was up for renewal...so it should be back up (in it's deminished form) within the week. Still on schedule to bring back a full site before the end of the year. I've been keeping quiet for the past year or so, busy with work, and trying to keep busy working on some things for the hobby. I'm sure once the site is back up, it'll cause a stir if for no other reason than nobody though it would ever happen. Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Famicoman Posted August 23, 2005 Author Share Posted August 23, 2005 (edited) Alright. Hope to see the sight back up, and maybe some more info on it. Edited August 23, 2005 by Famicoman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
video game addict Posted August 26, 2005 Share Posted August 26, 2005 Oddly enough I was just deleting old bookmarks on the pc and was just at the site around a week ago. It was still up then. So strange timing I guess, a week ago it would have worked for you, this week it's down, and probably by next week it'll be back again.

Famicoman Posted September 27, 2005 Author Share Posted September 27, 2005 Now, the VGB site says that the acount has been suspended. Could this now spell out a doom, will servers have to be changed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
video game addict Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 If it does finally die maybe these will turn into collectables? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minorleagueguy Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 ...while the info in the VGB was good, they fall apart rather quickly. Horrible binding... minorleagueguy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tempest Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 Not dead, only sleeping... Trust me. So is it still sleeping or what? Holy digging up old posts Batman.

buckeye25osu Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 To answer your question: http://www.amazon.com/Video-Game-Bible-198...6862&sr=8-1 A few not too fond reviews. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 To answer your question:http://www.amazon.com/Video-Game-Bible-198...6862&sr=8-1 A few not too fond reviews. I'm not sure what linking to old reviews of the book has anything to do with whether or not the site is still up. But I found the book to be pretty good for a 1st edition. Yes it has errors and omissions, but so does every other guide (including the DP guide). It's almost impossible not to... One thing I liked about the VGB is that it had little blurbs about almost every game, not just a select few. To me that made it a more interesting read.

Looking at the dates I realize that the OP was wondering if a new updated book/site was being released, not referring to the initial release of which I linked. My bad for the confusion.
