Selectstarters originally started back in 2015 as Select Start, a small channel on Disqus. The community quickly grew and became one of the friendliest and most fun places to start and hold discussions on video games. Once Disqus decided to pull the plug on their channel system (RIP), we decided that wouldn’t be the end of Select Start. With help from a good friend, Selectstarters was born. Here at Selectstarters, we believe having a strong and close community is everything. We want our entire community to have a voice and because of that, everyone can create a discussion at any time! So join in on the fun, start a discussion and enjoy your stay Select Starters

20 Years Ago the PlayStation 2 Was Born...

Yeah, you read it right: 20 years ago, on March 4 2000, the PlayStation 2 was hitting the stores! Are we getting old? I feel like I’m getting old, even though I was just two years old when it launched! In any case, this is the console that is remarked by many players as one of the best ever made, and the sales confirm this since the PS2 is the console that, in the future, would become the best-selling home console of all time!

All this greatness surely deserves some celebration, right? So here are some questions for us to remember and share our most beloved memories of this console:

Did you play the PlayStation 2?

Important first question! I don’t remember when I earned the console but I remember playing it quite a lot, more than the PSOne. I still wasn’t a gamer but it was at the end of the PS2 generation that I started playing more and different games and decided to pay more attention to this growing industry.

What are some of your favorite PS2 games?

There was an apparently infinite universe of games in the PS2 especially for the poor souls who pirated the console to buy stupidly cheap games, one of the main reasons that make it so beloved.

Neil Druckmann and Craig Mazin team up to create The Last of Us series for HBO

First of all: I never wanted a live-action adaptation of The Last of Us. Second: holy shit! I mean, sure, the idea still sounds a bit weird but it’s Neil Druckmann, Creative Director of The Last of Us – Part I and Part II, and Craig Mazin, writer and producer of the acclaimed miniseries Chernobyl, who are the helm of the writing and executive production, so how could I not get excited?!

Carolyn Strauss (Game of Thrones, Chernobyl) will also executive produce along with Evan Wells, the president of Naughty Dog. The project is a co-production with Sony Pictures Television in association with PlayStation Productions, that new wing announced some time ago that had the intention to adapt video games in a more faithful format; and yes, The Last of Us will be the first television series from PlayStation Productions.
