VGFacts is Back

DidYouKnowGaming and The Spriters Resource have launched a new version of VGFacts.com! If your don't remember or weren't a DYKG viewer 10 years ago, VGFacts was a colabboration between these two groups aiming to make trivia more accessible, and to help DYKG with research in their videos. We'll be livestreaming some trivia submissions and behind-the-scenes details over on the DYKG Twitch account to celebrate the new site ( / didyouknowgaming ).

THE GOLDEN AGE HAS RETURNED!!

[@TheMegamanhero]

We are in the “Excellent era” now 🎉

[@personalgamedevyt9830]

Awesome. Always appreciate the content as a hobbiest game developer learning from professional's history, along with the trivia from their creations

[@RadikAlice]

Cool! I like how the UI is very alike Spriters Resource. That looked great when it debuted and still does But what really sets VGFacts apart now is the API, I could see someone develop an open source game styled after Jeopardy pulling from the site's data. And that's just so cool

[@TheRexisFern]

I always stand in awe of people's dedication to the accumulation and preservation of different types of knowledge and culture.

[@STRONTIumMuffin]

Had no idea you partially owned Barcadia in Norwich as someone who lives nearby and has been there and also done editing work for DYKG SMALL WORLD!

[@mattlandry]

VGfacts is how i found this channel!

[@travisnorman]

Oh that's cool that you're allowing lots of people to submit VG facts. Lots of low key smart folks out there just sitting on good info. I hope they share what they know!

[@RadikAlice]

Well, you better spread the word!

[@mattwo7]

Not to mention trivia for more obscure games. I myself previously submitted five of the seven trivia on the Phantasy Star franchise page, even though I never played the old Phantasy Star quadrilogy which could use more trivia (really all the PS games could, I could only contribute so much for PSO onward) as well as all four of the PSO2 trivia.

[@premsinha9415]

An old friend from a bygone era... I am floating through time just hearing of this news.

[@luxendarcknight7807]

Awesome. So what about did you know food? When’s that coming back?

[@JeskidoYT]

Game theory took over that niche sooo

[@RadikAlice]

@@JeskidoYT Brutalmoose would have to duel Mat Pat to the (fake) death for the right

[@TramiNguyen-oi3kp]

I love this channel!

[@Jordanse7en]

I check this site out daily as a lover of Easter eggs. Love the overhaul I’m really gonna be scrolling through even longer now! 🤩

[@squidjam]

Just a quick note to OP: The Spoilers are showing in my phone. I don't know if this is intended or not. Feel free to get in touch if you want more info. (Oh, and congrats on the site's release 😊)

[@Petie88]

They're only supposed to show on mouse over/tap - if they're showing up automatically, that's likely a bug. Can you get in touch with us via the contact form on the site so I can make a note to look into it? Thanks!

[@towndarling1618]

The API is the HUGE news here. Can’t wait to see what people do for that

[@Harmonia96]

Cycling through VG tidbits during a break screen is a really cute idea.

[@Zorklis]

Dark Mode not being default, travesty

[@DijaVlogsGames]

Damn, that’s an extremely 2000s looking website

[@LilleTotte]

Does the new site have a dark mode that is easier on the eyes? Anyway, I'm happy it's back

[@Petie88]

It does!

[@LandonEmma]

I never knew you were in collaboration with the epic people at vgresource! And well I have never even heard of VGfacts though I would rather just watch your KZbin videos

[@HeisenbergFam]

When the world didnt expect VFG to return, it returned

[@Man_of_Oil]

Video Fame Gacts

[@ridderbanaan]

That Alundra music takes me waaaaaaaay back.

[@Euathlus1985]

Im happy that there is another one who knows that game and amazong soundtrackk, better than any other 2D Zelda

[@yogiya146]

WE'RE BARACK

[@epicdaftpunk]

Let me be clear

[@Kimarnic]

Care

[@JinDWulf]

I very much appreciate the use of song "Village of Inoa" from Alundra for great news!

[@maccamachine]

Damn man haven’t thought about that in a while cool to see it back

[@quintessences]

Damn it’s been 10 years. I feel so old. I remember discovering DYKG and VGFacts 10 years ago.

[@cola6460]

We are so back lfg ‼️‼️‼️‼️

[@TheCreepypro]

so nice to have it back!

[@mattwo7]

I had no idea VGFacts had gone anywhere TBH.

[@EGRJ]

I kind of like the old school, simple web design. But that's partially nostalgia talking.

[@PieLordCollin]

I never thought I'd see the day, holy moly

[@SendFoodz]

the return of websites! yay, tired of it always being a discord channel or another thing that wants it's own app. vgfacts babeyyyy

[@QuaseGelo]

I would love to drink reading facts!

[@ToxDrawace]

Awesome! That's exciting!

[@DevJorvan]

Great news. Thanks for your hard work 🙌

[@LycanLink]

That's super-cool, and I'm excited! Unrelated-ish question: is "Did You Know Food" completely dead at this point? :(

[@zetaman3857]

I think a discord bot would be pretty cool with the api.

[@zetaman3857]

Also submitting more info via that bot…actually that would be great since it can also be used to fact check during a conversation.

[@tyo101]

Welcome back!

[@Lemuzaurio_streams]

I love that you used the alundra song.

[@FARDEENKHANQWE123]

SO INTERESTING!

[@AngelPerez-tu1nk]

Oh heck yeah!

[@CyberpunkJordan]

Oh this is awesome!

[@Lis4Real25]

Will there be a night mode? Not a fan of the white background change. Makes stuff harder to read.

[@Sonictheoofhog4]

There's no night mode for the Spriters Resource and that has the exact same site colors as VG facts

[@Petie88]

@@Sonictheoofhog4 There's a dark theme on VGFacts now and we'll be adding on to the Spriters Resource when we redo that layout as well.

Man I fuckin love spriters recourse

[@whereisspacebar2991]

Hell yeah.

[@ArcRay20]

from the looks of things, there is some Mario Party 1 trivia i can add. something that isnt really documented anywhere from what i can tell. not that im surprised since its rather obscure in terms of making it happen and technically you can only "experience its effect" on a new save file.

[@rolfathan]

This is rad!!!!

[@ghostberryTV]

Super interested in the twitch plugin!

[@normalichu]

I appreciate the effort guys! Tho, I don't know how well the website is going to work in this day and age, since now people gather in social media and they don't go to websites often... I will be there, regardless, trying to support with a bit of my knowledge ^-^

[@ElkProductionGaming]

Neat.

[@vouvusbovus9100]

Amazong, simply amazing.

[@ZW_Zacattack99]

Finally; I can submit that trivia about CarnEvil… Update: It’s been submitted.

[@Gamefreak924]

okay but when do we get more DidYouKnowFood videos?

[@nalvareza]

Vaggy facts!

[@manoftheusajones5147]

Homer Simpson: WAHOO!

[@maydaymemer4660]

Excellent. I like the format of the site but it often lacked content for many games. The Hitman series for example has almost no trivia on the site but thats just not the case for the games themselves

[@mattwo7]

@@deathcrunch9020 "Profit"? I don't think that word means what you think it means.

[@mattwo7]

@@deathcrunch9020 Yea, deleting your comment while mine is still there to prove it existed is a real look. Get professional help.

@@deathcrunch9020 I haven't gotten a notification for either but this one I did, YT is being wonky it seems. Your bit about "hurt feelings" though, like I said, seek professional help. The world doesn't revolve around you and your immediate jump to a narcissistic claim of bad faith when KZbin is a terrible and sometimes buggy platform is really telling.

Again? ✨️✨️✨️🙈

[@ClaimSuit]

i see, given the last time i visited that site i found someone who claimed ninetails from pokemon was a naruto refference (their own source and words, not mine) and got mocked for pointing it out followed by the site deleting the information and sources i gave of it being a shinto spirit and not what the poster said it was? nah fam, not again, moderation was never the sites strong suit but after that someone else can get mocked for pointing out blatant misinformation and bad sourcing.

[@natejoe9924]

When are you going to post on your secondary that channel only has one video

Took them **years** to install open source wiki tech and put the site in day mode

[@JeskidoYT]

Yearrssss of research I tell ya

[@DidYouKnowGamin]

The website is a CMS, everything was created from the ground up by 2 individuals. There is no open source wiki anywhere on the site. If you're going to be scathing of us, at least be right.

So THAT’s why there haven’t been any new facts the past few months…
