The Official Psychoanalysis GAF Thread

And Whedon has carte blanche to do whatever he wants after making Cabin in the Woods.

i want more backstory on cabin. that and that damn l4d dlc.

[Tasty]

Yeah the thing that bothered me about The Avengers doing so well is that it ensured Joss Whedon was going to stay around for a few years.

Almost brought a tear to my eye when I saw both Cabin in the Woods and Avengers in the top 10 for the same week.

The king wreaking his long awaited vengeance.

And Whedon has carte blanche to do whatever he wants after making Cabin in the Woods.

[Joe Molotov]

I tried to like Dollhouse but ummmm.....nope.

Cabin in the Woods and The Avengers were though.

[Tasty]

Never even bothered with Dollhouse, now I know I made the right decision.

Still need to watch Firefly though.

[DCharlieJP]

loooool - i just got a month ban for "Threadwhining, and your schtick is getting tiring."

(in the Xth "VITA DOOMED!" thread of the past few weeks)

ah well, as i say - their board, they can run it how they want but jesus - same concern trolls regurgitating the same tired points ad infinitum.

I would love to know what my "schtick" is !

[DCharlieJP]

i was banned for a month for this :

"You know what GAF was REALLY missing but i'm glad the drought was broken?!

A VITA DOOMED thread!!!!

Man... it takes me right back to 20 minutes ago!

I think we are at the point where people who have Vita's realise the situation - that the machine is -not- appealing to the masses, that the games aren't hitting DAT DEMOGRAFIQUE etc and that the machine may well be in danger but these threads are starting to fill up with the same people on the LOL DOOM! side repeating the same points, the same concern trolls, the same "#fingerwag AND SONY AND THIS AND THAT AND THEY DID THIS WRONG AND..."

I think Vita owners get it by now and another thread like this does nowt other than to regurgitate the same shite.

I do, however, find it hilarious that i'm now , apparently, the poster boy for Sony given my absolute undoubted history on GAF since 2000 has been a dyed in the wool Sony Hater!

I think it's safe to say that delicate lambs will , at some point, consider me a troll no matter which particular twat flag they've decided to stapple their insecurity to. "



... actually, yeah - it is a bit of a wanky post. Ah well. Nothing lost - and probably good timing anyways.

[Huff]

looks like aeana is flexing her muscles and banning the big bad dcharlie troll

edit: and somehow i missed his two posts above me lulz

[DCharlieJP]

well, i missed that post and , as i say, it's a fair cop.

I just don't see why we needed yet another VITA DOOMED ITS SHIT NO GAMES thread seeing as we get one every few days.

The discussion is going nowhere - people with Vita's like the machine, people who don't see the point don't see any point and the Sales guys don't see it selling so it's a failure. There's nothing constructive left to say and -mod sanctioning- with bans for "anyone offended" by a regurgitated set of DOOM posts just seems stupid but ... obviously "my schtick is getting tiring" so i guess the general concensous is i'm in the minority

As i've said - it's their board, they can run it how they want - and it -was- a shit post. A month seems a tad harsh but hey. It's a message board, it's not like i've lost anything of note.

and like i say - we are already on the "MONSTER HUNTER" and LIST WARZ stage of the discussion - there's really NOTHING left to discuss. Next stage is the ratio of 3ds:vita sales... it's a cul de sac thread. Again.

i blame Andrex for invoking my name - time to ban Andrex -waves ban stick-

spoiler (click to show/hide)

I wouldn't ban our pet project, where would the fun in that be?

I can't tell if people just don't like ports on principle or if they are caught up on the entire history of gaming, so ports don't count as games or something.  And nevermind that it's portable, cause apparently I could have just brought my PS3 to my sister's place and inconspicuously played UMVC3 online matches on the TV there with no problems.

I recognize that the system is getting it's ass kicked by iOS, that's a good explanation.  "No games" couldn't be further from the truth.  Unless you discount ports, backwards compatibility, and games that aren't completely mind-blowing next gen doritos mountain dew cum shots pressed to a cart.

Ports only count if they're totally different games, like Batman: Arkham City Armored Edition on the WiiU.

[DCharlieJP]

indeed - i'm in the office on xmas day bored out of my skull and i missed the warning - i've no real complaints.

But yea - i have no room to complain - a month is maybe harsh but as i hear i'm one ban from a perma i perhaps should be grateful, but hey - it's down to Evilore and crew and, yeah, i've got a bit bored of some of my posts and i have ratchetted up the Moanometer in direct correlation to the shite people post and that doesn't help. Whilst i don't think anything will change the pattern and there's absolutely nothing constructive left to say, the response should be to say nothing rather than shit up a shitty thread. It doesn't help anything.

I love playing Batman: Mountain Dew in my bed.  It's so nice.   But I hate playing ports in bed. 

[Don Flamenco]

I don't think it's money, considering the approval/sign-up process is still relatively strict and there probably aren't any problems getting new members.  I think he's just trying to funnel the discussion in an intelligent way, to which the bacteria react and develop new ways of pressing each other's buttons. 

Game discussion was just as confrontational, factionalized, and haphazard back in the days of "you're banned forever because I announced that all people would be banned for doing what you did, but the announcement was buried in post 18403 of the 'do you drink water' thread" as it is today. 

[DCharlieJP]

Personally, it's not the type of board I'd make, but Evilore's been pretty clear he wants to stop thread-whining and meta-discussion.  You got clipped for the first, Andrex got nailed for the second.  PERSONALLY, I think it takes a lot of the fun out of the board, but Evilore doesn't see members as part of a community so much as grist for the mill.  Building a meta-community makes the boards less inviting to new members, which limits how much cash Evilore has to try to buy his way out of misery.

yeah - and as i say - i probably do stand out as a complete whine online as well, so hey-ho. 

I've just have the feeling the board is stuck in an infinite loop - moaning certainly doesn't help that - but the Vita threads in particular just regurgitate over and over and no one is offering any new perspective (myself included). And hell, we now even have the rediculous hedge that even if MH ever gets announced for Vita then it won't matter... #baffle

I think he's just trying to funnel the discussion in an intelligent way,

i see what the board is trying to do - but if you're going to allow the same topics to just reappear over and over again then there's no point - all you are creating is a treadmill of the same people coughing up the same points over and over and over. As i say - this topic just wasn't needed and if Andrex hadn't poked my bee hive i'd have walked on by. For a few extra posts. THEN i'd have got banned!

edit : Oh , i see Andrex joined me in Bansville! How long did you get, my wee cherub?

[etiolate]

The approval process is part of the GAF allure that Tyler needs to keep up to keep the forum relevant. There's plenty other gaming news aggregates and better gaming discussion on other boards. All GAF has anymore is the idea that GAF is a big gaming forum. The approval process makes it feel select and whenever Tyler needs more hits he can just let the gates open a little.

It's not a process that creates intelligent discussion. It's a poster recycling process worthy of chaff.

i've nothing against gaf or the mods there - it's up to them and , as i say, most the time i've been banned i'm bang to rights. It's their board and they run it well enough that i go back to get involved - and to be perfectly frank part of that appeal -is- the opinions of certain factions. It must be a weird chemistry to manage and given i've been posting there for nigh on 12 years is probably a sign they are doing something right - especially given in amongst the moaning i still go back.

I'll probably go back after a month but to be honest i've no ability to hold my tongue so i'd have thought i'd just get banned and whilst it's stupid to say "That's it ! Never posting there again!" i've enough to occupy me (certainly in the first 8 months of next year) that maybe it's time to concentrate on those things and perhaps pick up again later in the year.

[Tasty]

This got me.

Which is ironic because I was actually defending the Vita in that thread. And it's doubly ironic cause I turned out to be right. DC + Vita is a self fulfilling prophesy.

Never even bothered with Dollhouse, now I know I made the right decision.

Still need to watch Firefly though.

So did you just watch Buffy and Angel?

Yes.

[parallax]

Another day, another vita failure thread. I'm honestly shocked people are actually participating in them anymore

[DCharlieJP]

wait ... that makes no sense. What was the ban reason?

[Tasty]

Another day, another vita failure thread. I'm honestly shocked people are actually participating in them anymore

The message to take away from this is obviously: "Defend Vita" = ban.

[DCharlieJP]

BANNED!

"Defend Vita" = ban.

Well, again i missed the warning, but i don't think it's that. It's more questioning whether we need to discuss again if the Vita is having trouble again - which really doesn't advance things, but personally i just don't see how these threads serve any purpose - the horse isn't just dead - it's decomposed into all it's constituent atoms so we are left with the infinite loop of : Vita low sales-->No games of note-->Monster Hunter-->3ds sales comparison-->3rd party mystic ball reading-->advice to can machine --> vita low sales.

There's no arguments left on either side.

[Tasty]

wait ... that makes no sense. What was the ban reason?

"Come on, man. This type of meta commentary is explicitly discouraged in the sticky in OT."

It wasn't meta commentary, more of a joke/in-joke.

[DCharlieJP]

I don't think "it's an in-joke" is a defence and my response to you certainly didn't work out too well! lol

How long did you get?

Two weeks~

I just realized I was banned on Christmas. Thanks for the present, GAF!

[Momo]

Unlucky you guys :'(

[Tasty]

Best mods:

- Stump
- Aeana (hey, she banned DCharlie, so she's automatically great! lol)
- EC
- Kev
- charlequin

"Nothing nice to say" mods:

- Kagari
- Ducky

Ami used to be on the latter list, of course. And since he was recently removed, and like half of my "best" list were also recent adds, I'd say moderation wise GAF is on an upward trend.

[DCharlieJP]

I think it's time to just accept that i'm not built for GAF and just move on - no big drama, just move elsewhere.

It's the same for everyone - if you care that much to moan, then leave. No one has a gun to your head.

To be honest, the whole ban line of "tired of your schtick" - regardless of whether it was there or not - struck a chord so i think thanks are in order to whoever banned me. It's time to just wrap up GAF and move on - i've got two kids to look after for a start and a demanding job, there's no point popping into GAF or anywhere else at the moment so time to just detach and enjoy life a bit.

Hell is other peoples opinions and all that and GAF/the internet is the embodiment of that and i'm contributing. I have 25 days off from the 28th - time to spend it with the people who matter, not a set of dickheads who want to discuss how dead the vita is/WiiU locks/which imaginary  bitch needs fucking/stealth photographing/raping etc

[Tasty]

I did a trial run of leaving GAF (and Bore) for a bit in early November. I went back for the Wii U launch as well as the Toonami thread, but it was easier than I though. I was honestly thinking of giving it a more serious try when the new year starts, lol.

[DCharlieJP]

indeed - and now i'm annoying myself and it's time to do things right.

[archie4208]

Nirolak and Minsc are good mods too, but they're pretty 'under the radar' so I doubt many people notice them.

[Momo]

I like Nirolak, he posts a lot of interesting threads.

[Olivia Wilde Homo]

I liked GAF because it was a great news aggregator: if it was remotely relevant, someone posted it on GAF.  Then, sometime in 2007, things went very wrong and the gaming section became shit shortly after.  News was still posted but you had to wade through so much bullshit that it eventually became a pointless exercise.  It was like digging through piles of shit to find the rare golden nuggets of information that you can just find yourself through a simple Google search.  Then I left GAF in general in 2011 when I realized the board wasn't for me.  I'm going to try to see if I can just avoid this thread altogether here soon: GAF is such a pathetic joke that even discussing it for a couple of minutes out of my day is time I'll never get back that I wasted on such a low quality discussion forum.  Maybe every time I want to go into this thread, I'll look at pictures of ladies in various states of undress until the urge is gone.  Too many manchildren on the gaming side and too many sanctimonious blowhards on the OT.

[Van Cruncheon]

why is kagari still a mod? she's certifiable.

[pilonv1]

Because she has squeenix sources

[Don Flamenco]

hey guys, that one journalist should be thrown in prison for deceiving the gaming public while angling for a Square-Enix job because she shirked the ethics of game journalism so negligently.  but it's okay if Kagari does the same exact thing on a smaller scale

i see what the board is trying to do - but if you're going to allow the same topics to just reappear over and over again then there's no point - all you are creating is a treadmill of the same people coughing up the same points over and over and over.

edit : Oh , i see Andrex joined me in Bansville! How long did you get, my wee cherub?

I agree, his rules and declarations about the system wars do nothing.  I feel like I can predict what's going to be said in threads with good accuracy at this point, so I usually just look for news+OPs.   Then when I'm reading an opinion-based OP or a LTTP it's like "they're gonna kill him for this sentence," "they're gonna love him for this one," "I see his point, but they're gonna focus on this tangential thing instead because a slightly negative adjective was attached to [game or dev or system]" 

i'm like rain man, but with gaf threads.

Throwing ducky under the bus with kagari has taken all of your cred in that post. All Kagari posts are one liner posts.

[Himu]

kagari will mark out about s-e products but in the end, in the actual threads, where is she? She's cited as the queen of jrpgs or whatever, but I sure as fuck didn't see her in any non-SONY jrpg threads back when I posted with the jrpg clique (KLIQ). Even when FF13 came out she was barely in that thread.

Then when it comes to pr time she'll act like she's the most knowledgeable source.

fuck, i miss rolling jrpg threads with aeana, segata, charlequin, ethelred, rk, and the rest of the jrpg clique.

Shit, do I really miss gaf? D-d-d-don't look at me like that. And no, I don't (I do, in a way)!

[Don Flamenco]

yeah, is all the actual gameplay talk in the community forum these days?   i feel like it's all news/industry talk in the main forum these days.  I go to fucking gamefaqs for gameplay talk.

Last night I read some thread where everyone jumped on this guy because they all think every game should have save anywhere. They aren't interested in discussing gameplay.

[Tasty]

Amir0x was a hilarious mod. He made ninthings cower in fear, im sure Andrex spent many an afternoon with a thumb tucked in his anus, teeth clenched awaiting Ami's poorly disguised trolling

Ami and I are actually on pretty good terms. He loved SMG which was good enough for me. I just never liked the way he engaged in arguments, which were very rarely with me.

He's simmered down on that since being demodded and today I'd honestly say I have no problem with him or what he posts.

[tiesto]

I remember when Kagari was obsessed with Lightning and FF13, but then as soon as it announced it was to be multiplat you now find her in every FF13 thread complaining about Lightning being a shitty character 

My fave mods are Hyoushi, Shouta, charlequin, Aeana and Stump. Least is teknopathetic., guy seems like a dickhead and his quote style rubs me the wrong way. There are a lot of mods I don't really know lately, like Gromph or ThoseDeafMutes.

[Momo]

I remember liking both Kagari and amirox at some point.

Well I still like Amirox, the guy brings a ton of entertainment to the table.

not so sure about that. he went in on the pony people a while back. really went in

Oh? I missed that. Maybe he's moved his argumentative mode just to OT then, he seems pretty calm on the gaming side (relative to his old self.)

Got a link for that?

[Vertigo]

amirox entering a thread when he was a mod was always a hoot. Even though he could be a cock

But nowadays as people have said actual decent game discussion is very thin on the ground. No one of any note from industry bothers with Gaf anymore, and that for me was it's main draw when I joined up all those years ago, that and the NPD's which are just as worthless nowadays. The gaming discussion is a lot slower on here but it's more interesting. 

People repeating the same points over and over is prevalent across gaming side on Gaf.

Once you know the avatars and therefore know the agendas you can see how a thread is going to go from the first page. The only saving graces within the mods are Nirolak and Stump, who aren't ban happy but at least give fair warning in the thread title that mods will be watching a thread.

Him and Stump are the best mods on Gaf hands down.

The rest of them are ok to shite most disappointed with Bish who's become an overused self parody at this point. A sideshow minstrel act. Ready to tapdance and coon for the pleasure of the baying Neogaf hoards.

[Chinner]

ami was always fun for discussion as a mod. conversations went something along the lines of this

"this game looks bad because it looks rushed"
"no. i played the game at comic-con and it was good. stop trolling or i will ban you"
*thread dies on its ass*

[Cascade]

Puddles, your salt levels are starting to approach Momo post banning levels.

[Momo]

It's a shameful thing to be equated to post ban Momo.

[Polyh3dron]

I hate it when I get banned for something really lame like what happened with Andrex.  If I get banned I want it to be in a blaze of glory, not some tame shit that is relatively inconsequential.

And yeah now that Amir0x's confrontational posting style doesn't have teeth to it, it's fine to me.

[thisismyusername]

Never even bothered with Dollhouse, now I know I made the right decision.

Still need to watch Firefly though.

I like Dollhouse, probably more than Wheddon's other works (yes, including Firefly) since it was something different in sci-fi and tried to explore personalities and that stuff. Issue is Dushku's wooden acting (and I say that as a fan of Dushku) and Fox not giving the series a chance to actually stretch it's legs (well, that and Wheddon/company didn't start to get off the "mission of the week" format fast enough).

It's worth it for Enver Gjokaj's "Topher" impression which was SPOT-ON with the actual actors. Insane.

[DCharlieJP]

yeah, i saw the start of the Save Anywhere thread and there wasn't really any discussion - just a shout down.

Takes me back to Aliens vs Predator 1 when people moaned until they patched in saving anywhere because if you died it dumped you right back at the start of a level. It was to the detriment of the game - if you can't save then any noise, or any pipe spraying down, or any beep on your motion tracker was genuinely a reason to be paniced because the consequences were harsh. With save anywhere? There's no punishment - it completely removes any real tension.

Gamers, generally, are complete weaksauces these days.

and conversations like "Oh <game>? yeah, it's boring - too easy" - what level did you play it on "erm - Normal... might have been on Easy"

[Momo]

Dollhouse is just a continuation of Firefly really. (Firefly is my favorite Whedon show). His worst thing has to be Alien Resurrection, what an absolute disaster. Not a fan of Buffy nor Angel either (well i liked the green dude with the spiked face and thats about it).

[etiolate]

Dollhouse is terrible. Whedon does best when staying away from female characters.

[thisismyusername]

well, i missed that post and , as i say, it's a fair cop.

I just don't see why we needed yet another VITA DOOMED ITS SHIT NO GAMES thread seeing as we get one every few days.

As i've said - it's their board, they can run it how they want - and it -was- a shit post. A month seems a tad harsh but hey. It's a message board, it's not like i've lost anything of note.

D, babe: You should've seen that ban coming. In fact you and the regulars in the Vita thread should've seen that coming. Yes, the wave of "VITA DOOMED" threads suck ass, but really it's GAF being GAF. If you wanted to troll you should troll about how the WiiU is just as much as a dismal failure and give reasons why that is.

Or, simply ignore the thread. Funny how some of the more vocal defenders (not calling you one) got banned in that thread. If Kyon wasn't already banned I'm sure they'd be damn near perma'd for their gladiator level combating defense of the Vita. In any case, that's why the GAF Vita thread is there: So you can simply discuss the system without "LOL DOOMED" shitposts. Use that thread and ignore anything else that has the title "Vita" in their name. Boom, instantly the boards discussion level comes up from the "cycle" you're talking about. Of course, the converse is the "love-in" fest you get in that thread but that's why I stay in the sidelines.

Buffy and Angel are campy. I think that's the whole point of them. Pretty fun, but I really can't go back to them since I got older than the target age for them.

[Broseidon]

How is it that Markot can still make threads? Isn't he that dumbshit that used to have the Lisa Simpson avatar with the raccoon tail?

Yes. What's he up to?

The issue is the "love in" Vita thread has the odd pop in from the same trolls to talk about how shitty the Vita is doing and start talking about 3DS :/. It fizzles out and a few days later the same few pop back in to bring up the same damned points but, regardless,　from my side it wasn't trolling - it was responding to Andrex specifically -and- , as per the ban, being a twining tit.

Like i say, i've no one to blame but myself - and i partially agree that "my schtick is getting tiring". I'm not exactly sure what my schtick is (moaning i assume!) , but hey - asked for an upgrade to a one way perma with no possible return.

Again - nothing against GAF, or the ban, i've had a great time there and met some great people (including some Opa-ages folks and people from elsewhere)  but i'm self aware enough that i've just got to the point where discussion boards just aren't for me and i'm tired of my own posts as well. I *WAS* twining and contributing nothing, hell i'm twining just two sentences back from this - ultimately i've got moaning tourettes -  It's old-man-waving-at-birds basically. It's time to go do something else and i don't think anyone is going to miss me over at GAF! lol.

Also- i think if i'd brought up WiiU being just as bad even with reasons in that thread i'd have got the ban hammer for "System Wars". I must congratulate whoever banned me - it was swift. Within seconds almost.
