Yet another GAF thread - I still haven't got over it :( (No spergfits allowed)

Why do people even attempt to post in that thread? Nothing of any importance has ever been debated with reason and courtesy on a message board in the history of ever. There is zero point in debating on the internet.

[Rusty Shackleford]

  True enough. I was a little whiny there. Still, debating on the internet seems so...futile. It's like that XKCD comic about arguments on the internet.

I highly disagree. Good debate simply requires careful and dedicated moderation that sets and resets appropriate bounds. And gaming is an art form and criticism of it is equal to that of other art forms. Thus debate about topics within it are as important as those about say film or literary criticism. It's important to distill the important core issues down so that both readers and posters can find a common harmony in understanding the messages the world sends us.

Also, you suck Micro$haft's cocks you ugly baby-rapist.

[Shadow Mod]

Naw you're completely right though as much as I wanted to post that for shits and giggles. Forum debating is dumb as shit and unproductive but I, we? do it anyway.

Lord help me.

I hear you. Here I am posting, after all. It's just that serious topics are hard to debate on forums. You lose nuance and cues of visual interaction and misinterpretations abound and crap spins out of control. I think if you and that Pogi guy were talking face-to-face, you'd probably mostly agree with each other. On the Internet, not so much.

[benjipwns]

I note for the record that my opponent does not deny the Micro$shaft or baby-rapist charges. Let alone the now proven in internet court fact that they are ugly.

As I am not a baby rapist and are mundane visually, I declare myself the victor in internet combat.

Haha, I went in on Mobile, thought it just crashed again, and went here.
Was scared for a moment because I haven't had access to that mail address for years now.

Does anyone know if I can change it to GMail, since I already have an account?

Haha, nope. Just tried it and it said GMAIL AND HOTMAIL NOT ALLOWED GRRRRR. I had to keep using my university address even though I've been out of university for 5 years.

Use chubbyhubby@thebore.com - I just made one for you

[Brehvolution]

I'd like an @thebore.com email address.

The sudden 'excitement' for Contrast on Gaf is embarrassing and so false. A game many on Gaf were so looking to that it's original thread garnered a whopping 4 replies before sinking off the 1st page.

Now all of a sudden a lot of people on Gaf were definitely really looking forward to playing Contrast over Driveclub?  The best spin I've seen was no one but about 8 gamers on Gaf were interested in DriveClub.

[headwalk]

everytime i feel like pulling the trigger on a over/under permaban post i remember that i quite often browse this thread, and the only thing more depressing than spending my day in a devoted bitching thread for a video game message board which i'm a member of is spending my day in a devoted bitching thread for a video game message board which i've long since ceased to be a member of.

then i remember that i'm a mod.

Is there some scientific formula re: shitposting and having a Breaking Bad avatar?

My theory is they're the shut-in, socially autistic types who would identify with a weak, underappreciated man suddenly becoming powerful. In a way it's like they're transforming into Heisenberg when they get behind their keyboards.

It's very basic and free of variables:

Apparently.

[Himu]

Would you suck his dick, Steve?

[Steve Youngblood]

Before today? No way. Now? I just don't know anymore. I'm so confused.

[Himu]

Let it all out, Steve!!!

I'm with you! I won't judge you, just be yourself!

If you wanna



with dudes, who am I to judge?!

[brob]

Does your wife know of this affliction?

[Himu]

Guys, Steve has a son.

Steve, get your son tested for gayness. Make sure it's not spread so your son doesn't have to fight the battles you've had to! There's still time to cure him!

"Last week Slashdot covered a new vBulletin exploit. Apparently hackers have been busy since then because according to security firm Imperva, more than 35,000 sites were recently hacked via this vulnerability. The sad part about this is that it could have all been avoided if the administrator of the websites just removed the /install and/or /core/install folders – something that you would think the installer should do on its own."

 

[Tasty]

Holy shit, they didn't remove /install? That's like the first thing you do after installation/upgrade.

Then again shitty vBulletin probably doesn't block you from doing stuff until you remove it like phpBB and Wordpress do.

[Steve Youngblood]

I'd clarify what happened. But I wasn't paying attention during that discussion (on my phone) and I don't log chats. Further, I didn't really care about or follow what was being discussed. So, I'm not even sure if what slash dot was describing is what happened. From the little I did follow, I don't really think that the password reset was altogether necessary, just a bit of erring on the side of caution.

Of course, don't take my word on this.

I thought contrast looked really cool when I saw it at PAX. But it's on PC and I figure I'll pick it up eventually.

[Olivia Wilde Homo]

It's a shame there isn't a Ridge Racer 8 for the PS4 launch but given how Namco has handled the RR franchise since 6, maybe it's for the best.

[Verdigris Murder]

More things about videogames makes me angry. Neogaf has basically turned into an intellectual concentration camp. The grammar is awful, even with irony. 100k plus membership, it's like Hitler and the Jews all over again.

[Verdigris Murder]

Yeah. I'm actually pretty tired and wasted.

[Steve Youngblood]

Yeah. I'm actually pretty tired and wasted.

I don't think this clarification was necessary. Your posts now aren't abnormal or unusually incoherent relative to your typical posts.
