Editing GamePro (section)

===ProTips===
''GamePro'' is credited with coming up with the concept of "Protip", a short piece of advice as if spoken by an expert usually attached to an image, which was explained by former writer Dan Amrich that as part of their editorial process, they were encouraged to caption the three-to-seven images used in an article with such advice.

One purported image from a ''GamePro'' review of ''[[Doom (1993 video game)|Doom]]'' (1993) had a caption for an image of one of the game's bosses as "PROTIP: To defeat the Cyberdemon, shoot at it until it dies". The apparent advice, which is [[common sense]] and self-evident for players of [[first-person shooter]]s like ''Doom'', was widely mocked and created a [[Internet meme|meme]] of similarly obvious ProTips added as captions to pictures. However, the image was revealed to be a fake, created as an April Fools' joke for a [[fansite]] doomworld.com.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2016-06-27-the-truth-about-dooms-protip-meme |title=The truth about Doom's "ProTip" meme |first=Jeffrey |last=Matulef |date=June 27, 2016 |access-date=June 27, 2016 |work=[[Eurogamer]] |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160628135748/http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2016-06-27-the-truth-about-dooms-protip-meme |archive-date=June 28, 2016 }}</ref>
