How I miss the GameFAQs days... Although, with 3d games it sure is easier to navigate using a video instead of written instructions...

UHS though http://uhs-hints.com/

Just nudge me in the right direction so I can stop burning time looking in the wrong places.

Had never heard of it, very nice!

It's super old school, but it will get you through Day of the Tentacle.

I feel both ways I think. Video walkthroughs are awesome when they're put together well, I also think written guides with good visuals are also awesome too. But because basically all the video guides suffer from YTs shitty algorithms, it forces the stupid "WoAeW U wonNt BeliVe ThiS?!?!" title bullshit and floods out better guides trying to "get in on" a trend in a game, etc. It's a mixed bag like everything else in life, but fuck it is just super frustrating sifting through 4-7m videos of something that could have just been written down.

Oh yeah, written guides with visual aids are the best, I was thinking about GameFAQs 100% text (and ASCII art) guides
