The Internet Attempts to List Every Video Game...Ever

The Internet Attempts to List Every Video Game...Ever

Never a website concerned with your run-of-the-mill ideas, a group of 4chan users have taken upon themselves the sisyphean task of compiling a list of every single video game. Ever.

Currently, the list clocks in at a modest 43,806 entries, comprised mostly of console and PC games; however, the group has plans to expand it in the future to include more obscure categories foreign, mobile, hentai and browser-based games. In essence, if it could at all be classed as a video game, it goes on the list.

The list is the work of Pastebin user Data_baser, who's done much of the work by trawling the internet using a regular expression search, which works something like an advanced "find and replace" search. No one's quite sure how long the list will be, but given that Data_Baser created it on the 16th, it's been listing roughly 11,000 games a day

Not bad, 4chan. Not bad.

After being told dragontamer is "not a real job", she settled for being a word typer-upper. Finally got those San Diego Comic Con tickets.
