Get your snazzy little Apple App developer company to make a GameFAQS App for iPhone.

That'd be awesome.

Why didn't I think of this earlier? I'd have to think about how it would work/what it would do.

Seth: What are you making?
Evan: I'm just drilling holes. Last two weeks, **** it.

This is really a nifty idea, actually.

I thought I saw upon the stair a little man who wasn't there.
He wasn't there again today. Oh how I wish he'd go away.

I've heard that doing an app for the gamefaqs boards would be difficult due to the way that the boards store data from posts, but I don't really have the technical knowledge to verify such a claim.

I can verify from the experience of writing WWW::GameFAQs::Archive that scraping GameFAQs isn't hard. The only tricky parts are time zones (standard US rules for Daylight-Saving Time are applied regardless of your time-zone setting) and the text encoding (pages claim to use ISO-8859-1 but they actually use Windows-1252).

I'd make subtle inquiries with the GameFox people to make sure they didn't beat you to the punch. It's a pretty limited customer pool

Speaking of things that pull data from GameFAQs, I just became aware of this: http://beta.gamefaqs.com/

Don't know if it would mess up anything for you, Kodi, but if you hadn't heard I thought it might be useful to be forewarned.

Jordan make this happen.

You have no idea how many times I'm out and about and think "I wish I could check PMS right now".

And I'm sure as hell NOT using mobile Safari for it.

But an App... now I'd pay $4-5 for that...

Thanks for the heads-up, Spock. Changes will probably be called for, although they shouldn't be difficult.
