NOTHING is more irritating on GAF than all the fucking clueless newbies and assholish regulars with their transparent ways of maliciously spamming the hell out of gaming opinion threads that they deem unworthy with stupid forum pictures.
Apart from that, any gaming discussion is tired. The section should be renamed "Beating up a dead horse discussion". Everything that revolves around nostalgia has been done 50x before or more, and with less chaos within. Yeah, ANOTHER topic that tells us how great Chrono Trigger was, that's soooooo worth reading.
Just seeing these idiots asking dumb hardware setup questions for which they'd get the answer after two minutes on Google makes you feel like choking someone. Whatever happened to resourcefulness? Witnessing GAy people being in extasy over an RPG or a Nintendo game/character ALSO makes you feel like committing random murders, by the way.
GAy is 100% worthless shit content save for its coverage of Japanese gaming news that just constantly gets ripped off from 2chan anyway. Anyone knows of a good news site on japanese gaming in the english language? I'd never have to browse that putrid community again after finding such a thing.
Nowadays n4g.com is lots better than GAy's forum for the latest videogame news, it's got lots of interesting articles that never get mentioned there at all. I suggest everyone to bookmark it ASAP.
And the OT is even worse, it's got even more elitism, it's ultimately nothing but a liberal wank fest, and none of the drama is even remotely interesting in any way. These uptight dorks who constantly bully other people that aren't really any different from them are insufferable. If you care about technological and political news just go to digg.com anyway, where you'll get more articles and 3x more intelligent comments.
