So, I spent a good chunk of time last week trying to track down stuff related to this name, adrien mcgee. It popped up in a conversation, someone mentioned it in passing regarding some design work I was curious about, maybe for an old game or something, I can’t exactly recall which one now.
Naturally, the first thing I did was hit the usual search engines. Typed in the name, variations of it, added keywords like ‘designer’, ‘artist’, ‘game developer’. You know the drill. Went through pages and pages. Found a lot of people with similar names, Adrian McGee, A. McGee, you get the idea. It was a bit of a mess sorting through everything.
Digging Deeper
After the initial search didn’t give me much, I thought maybe the info was buried deeper. I started looking through some old forums I used to frequent, places where indie game stuff or specific art styles get discussed. Used their internal search functions. Still, not much luck. It felt like chasing a ghost.
I even tried looking through credits lists for some older, obscure titles I thought might be related. Sat there squinting at low-res screenshots of credit rolls people had uploaded years ago. It’s tedious work, let me tell you.
- Checked database sites for game developers.
- Scoured portfolio platforms, hoping maybe the name would ring a bell.
- Asked a couple of old contacts if they’d ever heard the name. Mostly got blank stares, metaphorically speaking, over messages.
Honestly, the whole process was frustrating. You get a name stuck in your head, maybe linked to a piece of work you admire, and you just want to find out more about the person behind it. But sometimes, the internet just doesn’t have the answers, or they’re buried so deep you can’t find them without the right shovel.
In the end, I didn’t really find anything solid on this specific ‘adrien mcgee’. Maybe the name was slightly wrong, maybe the person kept a low profile, or maybe the work wasn’t actually theirs. It’s hard to say. It kind of reminded me of trying to find a specific part for an old car I was fixing up years ago – you know it exists, someone must have made it, but good luck finding it now.
So yeah, that was my adventure trying to find ‘adrien mcgee’. Came up empty-handed on that specific quest, but hey, the search itself sometimes leads you down interesting rabbit holes, even if they don’t lead to the treasure you were looking for. Just another day digging around, I guess.
