Head to https://squarespace.com/liamtriforce to save 10% off your first purchase of a website or domain using code LIAMTRIFORCE. A casual and nostalgic reflection on the Nintendo GameCube, what it meant to me, and where it stands in the history of its medium. If I didn't mention [insert game here], that's because I either forgot or didn't feel it was important to the thesis of the video.
