Your memories of Eurogamer have warmed us to our core

I think there's a hope we all have on the Eurogamer team that the things we do here, the articles we write or the videos we record, will mean something to the people who watch or read them. They don't have to elicit a ground-shaking reaction; it might simply be enough to make someone giggle with a wonderfully rubbish strapline - or to impress them with a genuinely clever one (have we ever had one of those?). Whatever it is we're trying to do - to inform you, to entertain you, to tell you a story - I think I speak for all of us here when I say there's a deep-seated hope it'll resonate enough to be memorable. And what you've done by responding to the 'memories of Eurogamer' piece in such abundance proves that yes, overwhelmingly, that happens, and I can't tell you how much that means to see. Thank you.I've been reading through the 300-something responses today and my heart has been well and truly warmed, as it has this entire Eurogamer 25 week. It's incredibly validating to see how valued Eurogamer is among you and how long some of you have been coming back here, through staff changes, through console eras, through changing internet landscapes. Through OnLive - remember that? Some of you do. It's no small feat reaching 25 years, and your comments highlight just how much has happened in them. You've also provided me, and us, with a strong reminder about what you want from the site and what you like about it, so thank you again.I particularly like seeing comments about people discovering games on Eurogamer they hadn't heard of before, and they since went on to love, and it's nice to see people praise the honesty - the sometimes brutal honesty - of our reviews and the deeper stories we've told. We try, and it's nice to see that it lands sometimes. It's also nice to see people enjoy the goofier side of Eurogamer, like the puns and the long-running Oranges gag, or Martin's legendary live reports. Though if I had to single out any one repeatedly remarked upon favourite memory as far as laughter is concerned, it would have to be, simply, Ellie Gibson. Ellie joined us for the editors podcast I recorded for EG25 this week and it's a brilliant reminder of how funny she is. Read more
