In fairness, the real talk side is pretty kick ass.

It might be my imagination but the gaming side seems a lot more active than when I joined a couple of months ago.

Real talk has threads on licking female asses. So yeah its more popular.

you'll have to excuse us... we are normally playing games rather than talking about them. the time spent talking about games is usually when we are trolling them (even when we like them), or playing xfag/sfag

Plus we are usually playing the same game, so we post in the one general thread (ninja gaiden 2 for example)

i'll make more topics when my PC is built, so i can troll Borys

All the new posters are too predictable. The gaming side (excluding impression threads) sucks now, especially since all the old posters stay away from it and everyone trolls(poorly) now instead of just 3 or 4 people.

I wish more of you had Mr. Driller Online so that I could scrub you and get the online achievements.
Title: Re: i wish the gaming side was more popular
Post by: CHOW CHOW on June 12, 2008, 12:03:40 AM
i like achievements now

early on when i had old 360 they were all grinding shitty achievements and some too easy like king kong and madden but now the grinding achievements aren't as common, altho still there

mr driller demo was fun but too hard
Title: Re: i wish the gaming side was more popular
Post by: Beezy on June 12, 2008, 12:17:54 AM
Practice makes perfect! Mr. Driller owns. I always zone out when playing one of the longer stages.

Sorry, Kbear, lately I've been too busy playing with my new TV and steering wheel to stomp Sfaggotry and spread Xbot evangelism.

You're in for a treat with the Witcher and TQ (I haven't played Crysis yet.)   The Witcher is just too damn long.  game goes on forever. 

also play the Orange Box in all its maxed out 16xAA 60fps goodness.

FG's my home away from home, man.  It embodies everything kbear's all about.  Sure, it's not as active as it used to be but I can carry the load myself, no problem.  I'll never abandon those lovable motherfuckers again.

See, when you spend more time playing, and you decide to spend more time on Real talk than on System war piss fights...you just post less about games.

Because over here we don't need to go out of our way to convince others. We just drop the spit, trade some impressions and it's all good.

No need for 40 posts in a thread of damage control and shit. If you want that, go to gaf.

but the ratio of people who misconstrue different opinions as attacks on their manhood to people who can actually hold a discussion without completely losing it is about the same (1000:1.)

I think that's correct.  There's a lot of fun trolling that goes around here, but people aren't going to get the panties in bunch and argue with you just because you don't think Game X is not the second coming of Christ.

The gaming part in EB is better than in FG or OA. The people who post here are much more diverse. FG only has xfags, OA only sfags.

I won't post on OA or FG because I can't log in anymore and password recovery doesn't work. WTF

Thanks..I enjoyed writing them.  I'm a total Halo fanboy now. Love the series and can't wait for Halo Wars and Halo Chronicles, whatever that may be.  More Halo the better!
