Are you perhaps referring to the wonderful Digital Press Price Guides?

Video Game Collector is a good price guide magazine as well. I have four copies of the last issue if you want to buy one.
VGC is excellent.

i think smitten is the correct word here

To answer the original question, the VGB guy and Randy Crihfield are sitting around together talking about the good old days, when they were internet big shots, before their names were sullied
What happened? I remember for a couple years, there was a lot of hype about the VGB before it was published. Did it just suck badly and faded away?To answer the original question, the VGB guy and Randy Crihfield are sitting around together talking about the good old days, when they were internet big shots, before their names were sullied
The guys at Dark Watcher's Consoles and I attempted to do a VG price guide (before I realized Digital Press had one). It never got off the ground thoughThe bigwigs at Digital Press must have superhuman powers to actually make it happen.
When he got a few bad reviews for the book, some of them right here on this board, he flipped out and alienated a bunch of people. Down came the web site and that was that. He now lives a more anonymous life on other forums, having taken a few too many lumps here to consider a comeback.What happened?

As for the book:
Just the usual typographical errors, for the most part, from the reviews I read. He did get a lot of questions asking him what grounds he had to give some of the price figures he did. A lot less research went into it, compared to other guides on the market. I've been meaning to pick up a copy, though.

do you have proof of this? i typed dictionary in google then tried the first five links, no listing for SMITED.
i believe the Oxford dictionary is generally regarded as the official resource for the english language but their site requires some kind of sign up.
I never use the word but it is one of those that pops up in slang dictionaries. I was just pointing out that Flack was indeed using the word "smited" and not "smitten."Smited is a word.He was smited.what happened to the Video Game Bible guy?

Flack was using smited as it appears in the Bible, which was why it was so funny. And apparently, smote, smite, and smitten are all forms of the same verb. Stick THAT in your Funk and Wagnalls!!

I never read the Video Game Bible, so I missed the reference, but I read a slang dictionary and saw the word "smited." I also see it on a few message boards from time to time.Flack was using smited as it appears in the Bible, which was why it was so funny. And apparently, smote, smite, and smitten are all forms of the same verb. Stick THAT in your Funk and Wagnalls!!
He was run off of here so fast that I think he forgot to grab his shoes. You know, the Keds sitting in the corner with his name on themon his face.
Seriously, though, for every 100 people who say they are going to publish a book, it only comes true for maybe 1 or 2 of them. Even in this age of internet and self publishing, it isn't as easy as people make it out to be. You have to give him credit for that.

i got the joke, it WAS funny
smited is not a word no matter what some message boards that you look at from time to time might say
i thought the book was ok, i looked throught it many times and read most of it. i dont think i would ever use it as a "bible" but i dont think i will do that with any other rarity or price info relating to videogames in the near future
i have an extra copy of the book if anyone is interested
He is a Atari age member. He hasn't logged in since feb. of this year though.what happened to the Video Game Bible guy?
