Title: Where's Oscar?
Post by: Tasty on October 29, 2013, 09:17:18 PM: Was it really iOS that did him in? (http://i.imgur.com/C6O4Pjh.png)

Post by: Himu on October 29, 2013, 09:50:55 PM: I also notice he doesn't really talk to me on twitter anymore. I've got a feeling I did something, and he's raw about it. I'm not sure what, but I'm sure it is warranted. Hopefully we can continue to be friends. We have been for quite a number of years and it'd be a shame to lose it over some stupid iOS argument.

All I need to know is that he's healthy and enjoying his life slightly more without the internet.

I'd pay to see the 8 hours of an Andy/Eel reality tv show... I say 8 hours, because that's how long I give Eel before he kills the kid and disposes of the body.

Post by: Human Snorenado on October 30, 2013, 10:42:29 PM: The console war shit is par for the course- most of the time, people are just content (and able, I should qualify) to joke around about shit, but there's a certain type of poster (your lagers, your methodissesesseses) who take any opportunity to gleefully get down and roll around in the shit that they can. I tend not to click on those threads because of that.

Yeah, I think the mobile GAF site is perfectly adequate for viewing GAF, less so for interacting with it. Full GAF on my phone is pretty bad. Full Bore on my phone is usable, but requires a lot of resizing, and the text editor is annoying on a phone. I've never used Tapatalk, so I can't speak to a mobile version of this site.
