Meme Machine Memorial Thread of Things You Saw on Reddit

Demi's right, it's a troll post and a magnificent one at that. The game's 16 year old, everything that can be said about it has long since been said, jarosh didn't break any ground by laying out his reasons for disliking it. He knew how it would go and that's exactly what it did. He slaughtered the sacred cow and the bawling masses came forward with their trembling lips and smoldering anger to defend their god, only to get banned for their efforts

Here's some gaming discussion for ya'

Segata, you were a quality poster on GAF. It's a shame that you are leaving, but I understand your point of view completely. The forum used to be interesting for actual gaming discussion, but now, as you said, its completely infested with marketing accounts and one-liner posters. I can't say I'm any better myself; but years ago, I used to post long replies or make threads about interesting gaming stuff but most of the time, they were ignored as threads were degenerating into total bullcrap; i just stopped bothering.

Other Interesting posters gone MIA (mostly OT guys):

Phoenix
Loki (okay, he shows up in the NBA thread and the dating thread.  But has not shown up here in forever.  hmm... Lokiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii, when did you become the uber ladies' man?  show me your ways)
FFF/nrxic/other alias' (okay, I almost never agreed with him, but he was an intelligent contributor)
jinx (think he still has an account under "Dilbert" but don't think he's very active anymore)
xabre (haha, just kidding, I'm glad that arrogant fuck has disappeared.  Even though his departure message did make me view him as an actual human being.)
Guileless (great thoughtful and provocative conservative poster.  Haven't seen him in forever)

don't even see iapetus or hito post much anymore.

hmm, I wonder who all I am missing....

[Boogie]

Telamon!
and wheretf did MrPing disappear to?
evil solrac?
Panajev?
Iceman was allright.  Saw him in Amirox's conservative-baiting thread tho.
DarienA has all but vanished.
Ripclawe seems to have disappeared too.
Stele was another somewhat conservative poster who has vanished.
Slurpy:  another ass I never agree with, but who provided valuable contrary opinions.

Ned Flanders:  another asshole, but an entertaining one.
Thera:  well, not really.  But he was GAF's first pseudo-celebrity.  Years later, the best we got is the dude from the Hannah Hotel porno.  I guess it's a wash.
Centuryon/Naraku:  haha, just kidding.

I think everybody reaches that point on GAF where at first you get frustrated because you feel there are so many idiots (including moderators). And you feel you need to tell them they are idiots and troll them.

And then a great realization comes over you. You are just as much an idiot for spending so much of your time arguing with other idiots about utterly pointless crap.


And then you stop or basically cut down your post count dramatically once you hit that point.

This sounds like a very Londo Mollari-esque assessment of GAF.

stoney mason you take this shit too seriously. real answer- real life caught up with them. They were posting at a time in their lives when they had a lull at work or studying or with nothing better to do now as they've 'grown up' they don't have the time.

I'm on a forum that was essentially created as a splinter group of GAF in a thread that is about 50% about GAF where people bitch about GAF even though they are no longer on GAF.

All things considered in other words I think I have a typical attitude.

[Fresh Prince]

my point still stands. nobody has 'seen' those posters boogie talked about on any other splinter boards. quality posters = quality people

the internet is full of distinguished mentally-challenged fellows

[Himu]

Segata left GAF? 
Oscar, whyyyyy 

I really hate posters like Kevincow. They just can't accept other opinions. Fucking douchebags.

For what it's worth, I didn't leave because of Kevincow or DKC2.  I just feel there's nothing really worthwhile at GAF for me.  I've felt that way for a long time.  It's why I was hoping WYL was going to do well.  The only fun I've had at GAF has been talking about sales numbers and trolling.  I tried to talk about games when I first got there and saw the general results, so I rarely bothered after that.  The sales numbers are "gone" now, so not much point talking about that, plus half of Sales-Age has been going into the loonypile ever since things started going down for Nintendo, so the discussion's getting pretty bad anyway.  The trolling has been fun but after a few years I'm not even seeing the "faces" of the people I'm trolling anymore.  It's getting repetitive and dull.

The only reason I was even staying at GAF was because of a couple of other posters who wanted me to stay, and we all kind of mutually decided to leave recently.  And yes, that does mean I'll be posting more here, but don't expect too much.  I still don't think the gaming discussion here is a good fit for me. 

i love you, boo

i will follow you to the ends of the earth, even off of gaf

I would follow segata too. I'd suggest he try quarter to three as a sensible discussion board but it's very pc centric.

I found this place because all my favorite posters disappeared off gaf. There's no discussion to be had there anymore. It's only use is for circle jerking and news aggregation.

I've never found the level of interaction there satisfying. It's a bunch of people waiting for their turn to talk, not listening to anyone else. It's also full of people patting each other on the back, and those groups busy high-fiving each other are cliquish; they don't really like each other (they don't really even know each other), but they want to clump up to feel part of anything. And that's just it; they're not really realizing that they're on a forum on the internet because they're convince they're on the inside track to the games industry; they're in conversation with the movers and shakers, and they're making a difference.

I forgot how generic and bland DKC was when I attempted to play it a couple of months back.

I think it was ultimately a tech demo created by Nintendo for the purposes of competing in its own way against the 32 bit consoles coming out around the same time.

[Olivia Wilde Homo]

I agree with both SM and FP about GAF.

I got hooked onto GAF originally because it was a great news aggregate board - if it was somewhat relevant, it was posted on GAF.  I stopped visiting because I got tired of the stupid and shitty puns that seemed to be mod sanctioned.  I also got tired of the contrived personality pimping - losers like Andrex, RubxQub, RiskyChris, and Mama Robotnik should have been banned outright from the beginning, not celebrated as quirky if a little asocial dudes who are just special in their own way.  I also got tired of the black and white extremes that are common with manchildren who can't hold down a steady job or function in society.  I also got tired of the boring and inane circle jerks where people flap their hands frantically like an asspie because a sacred opinion is not held by everyone who visits the internets.  Finally, I got tired of mod sanctioned trolling that actively ruined many good threads.

Not that I strived to be better but the difference is that they feel they are special snowflakes who offer poignant insights on a regular basis or their played out personalities are deep and original.  I just go to forums to read occasional news tidbits, to laugh, and just to kill some time if there is some free time.  The older I get, the less tolerance I have to manchildren who have a dozen looping Alison Brie avatars.

The OT side was a little better imo. While there are still lots of idiots and poor moderation on that side also, by comparison the moderation was always lighter on the OT side which made it less shitty. And there were/are some cool posters over there. It just takes a while to pick out the handful of good ones.


Now the gaming side was always a worthless shit hole since I started over there which was like in 2005 I think or so. People take that shit way too seriously. If somebody says they like a movie, or a tv show, or a piece of music  and you say you don't like it, for the most part people are cool with that. Opinions being opinions and all. But say you don't like a certain game that other people like and all hell breaks loose.  Everybody over there thinks they are the roger ebert of game discussion rather than just another guy with another opinion and it pretty much destroys any conversation. Combine that with the platform warrior stuff and its just about useless.

  

[cool breeze]

Not that I don't agree with what you guys are saying, but GAF is still helpful for getting news or answering questions.  That is maybe the main thing I use it for now, and even then, it's when I'm working or something.

Like, I had a problem finding software last week to clone my hard drive, so I asked in the new PC thread.  In two minutes someone posted a link to software that would boot up an OS that gets stored on your ram and had a bunch of helpful software including exactly what I was looking for.

Any talk about games is mostly useless.  I started posting in 2006-ish and lurked before that, but I honestly don't so many gamefaqs quality threads before.  It seems like every week a thread gets reposted with ridiculous criteria like "What is your favorite movie multiplatform licensed game to come out between 1995 and 1997 that doesn't feature a human protagonist?"  Other threads, including |OT|s are dominated by a handful of "personalities" and suck.

I'm fine with news from gaf and everything else (and some news) from here.  If I was dying for game discussion, I would have made an account on one of the other forums some of you mentioned.

I think its good for game news. I also thinks its good for asking problem questions on the ot side. If I have a problem with my computer or some other general life problem that is of a technical nature, I tend to make a thread over there because the population is so large, there are bound to be a few people who have the same problem I do and have resolved it. But honestly that's not why I started posting over there. That's just what it devolved to because I realized every other kind of post was generally useless.

Just like some of the guys in there are creepys, some of the politically correct white knights in there are being annoyingly judgemental.  Most of the people on that fucking forum are like 20 anyways.  It's not a stretch for them to be attracted to a 17 or 18 year old.  Either way, I don't give a fuck.  Selena Gomez is hot.  That guy can suck my balls and go be a protector of the innocent elsewhere.

Holy shit, that was the first time I read a whole page of GAF posts in a long time. The amount of distinguished mentally-challenged fellows there

And I thought I was a bad poster!

[BlueTsunami]

I love the post in that Jarosh DKC thread that says "I'm sorry your mom never bought you an SNES when you were little". Its almost as if nostalgia is a prerequisite for liking the game!

[TakingBackSunday]

Well, that's somewhat true – it's the only reason people seem to still like the game.  There's nothing particularly special about the game nearly 20 years later, and there were better platformers years BEFORE it.  Even I realized that as a kid 

[etiolate]

I like DKC, still do. It was a fun game. The statement that because X platformer is better then DKC so DKC is trash means that 98% of what anyone plays is trash. The level design philosophy was sort of sonic 2-like in offering a straight forward quick route and also secret routes and hidden areas. (If I recall correctly)

At least Sonic level design back then was somewhat a dressed up straight forward quick route, as you put it though.  It was like:

Start----____/``````\                                       ____000---End
                                   \_________000______/

DKC is literally just shit like:

---------_____---``````````----__

it's boring.  Sonic at least looked cool while you doing it.

[Shuri]

DKC was fun because it had tons of secrets and stuff to find. The gameplay was great back in the days.

Sonic 2 had at least 3 paths through every level. DKC had one, even as a little kid I knew that shit sucked.
