I was an annoying 16 year old, christ

[Great Rumbler]

I just realized that I've been posting here for nearly 6 years.

[Human Snorenado]

Jesus Christ, I've really made over 20k posts here?

[Raban]

I just endlessly insult most women on the internet. At least the ones that come to play on Team Fortress 2. They're unfunny, annoying and stupid.

[Tasty]

Second post here ever

I had to donate my nipples to Wrath after a freak skiing accident.

I'm that freetard Google Nintard fanboy manbaby, among other things.

Basically the same as ever I suppose

dunno about that lame windblows but u should totally get a Samsung Series 5™

def the best notebook ever

Huh, wouldn't be out of place today

Nintendo still makes great games. I wouldn't be a Nintendo fan anymore if that weren't the case. The problem is that they've mismanaged their home console in several ways.

I think they've done a good job with the 3DS so far though, outside the eShop interface being a bloated mess.

Truer today than when I posted it

Google+ is a better Facebook and a better Tumblr mixed into one, with a little Twitter sprinkled on top, and with Buzz acting like the hot fudge at the bottom.

Also still true



Man I sure knew what was what back then. Changing and growing as a person is for pussies.

My last page is pretty solid.  Most of the posts were calling out FOC for being a dumbass.

Also apparently I tried getting rid of a lot of my earlier posts, maybe for reasons we're seeing here on this thread.

[Yulwei]

This is only my 4th month here so I don't have much, but...

I googled my second ever online username a while back and looked through my old posts... 

11 year old me should not have been allowed to use the internet

[Joe Molotov]

I have awesome taste in movies.

Ghostbusters 2 was okay, but man that ending was lame. Oh, I know, we'll use the Statue of Liberty to rally all New Yorkers together and use the power of their good feelings to defeat Vigo. *vomit*

As far as most improved sequel over the original, I'd say The Road Warrior.

Hwo the fuck did Presitge crack the top 250 on IMDB? I heard it was shit from almost everybody.

You heard wrong.

Apocalypse Now is an amazing movie.

I guess the movie is going to suck then.

Well, it's the sequel to Fantastic Four 1, so it pretty much goes without saying.

Spartacus is awesome, but Dr. Strangelove is quintessential Kubrick.

If Oprah's in it, then it must be good.

My first post was a troll:

Think of this as an intervention.


I too was drawn in by the allure of IRC. A gathering of like-minded individuals that vaguely share some sort of connection (gaming, pro wrestling, anime, laverne and shirley, etc), but really are just bored and agorophobic to certain degrees. A communion of misery, if you will.

Early 1998, the internet was just shaking off it's AOL-boom hangover and IRC offered you something more than the shitastic chatrooms on MSN, AOL or the like. There was control over the asshole population .. there was collaborations of people with similar interests ... there was automated trivia! Ahhh .. a new age had risen. Sending fake links of goatse was still hilarious and people actually posted messages on Usenet.

At the time, it seemed like a novel way to stay on top of current internet events and still keep the coffee house/bar appeal. Anyone could walk in and pull up a chair ... anyone could rant on whatever they wanted. Freedom of expression .. in real time.


But, in actuality, it was a bunch of miscreants from around the country that were 1) too broke to do anything else 2) too afraid to interact with real people 3) a way for weak-minded people to feel powerful in a virtual world.

Number 3 is the one that always bothered me. It seemed like the ones who seek moderation are the ones who least deserve it. People devoid of personality, so they use authority (or this virtual authority) to create some sort of persona. A way to curry favor with others that had personalities. Cliques.


And that is the shitty irony of it all ... People that were ostracised or made miserable by the cliques of High School ... Carry that burden into their adult lives and then repeat that process in an on-line forum or chat room. How many times have you been in an IRC chatroom and all the "regulars" never even chat? They send IM's to those they want to interact with. Hours and hours of idling in IRC interacting with only those you deem worthy. You truly do become what you hate.


So, do yourself a favor. Delete IRC off of your hard drives. You are wasting your lives. There are 1000 other hobbies that are actually good for your mind and soul. Not chat rooms.

i just woke up, covered in someone else's blood, on a new forum and i seem to have misplaced my pants

[Eel O'Brian]

I love it when I walk in and they're in the middle of some random employee argument/debate comedy sketch and I have to tap someone to get them to pay some fucking attention to their job.  Fuck game stores.  Best Buy sells all the new games I want, I get Reward Zone points, they don't offer to fuck me on game trades, and no one says shit to me.  This is how I like my retail stores - silent.  Again, I cannot overstress how important this shutting the fuck up is to me.  Push the goddamned buttons on the register, let me swipe my card, put the game in the bag, and tell me to have a nice day.  I will tell you to have a nice day yourself, sugar tits, and leave happy.  Any extraneous conversation beyond that just makes me want to kill you.

After all these years, I still feel the same way

The last page of mine only consists of two posts.  One is about buying a Wii and the other is defending OA.  FML

I'm normally against violence but honestly if I saw that kid walking down the street I would feel obligated to beat the shit out of him.

[Eli Gulgin]

But I mean was a style like that cool then or were you like a bohemian or some shit? I've done my best to forget early-mid 00s "fashion" so I'm not sure if others would have laughed at that shit then or been like "wow man, fucking solid rags dude". Seriously, I'm intrigued.

[TakingBackSunday]

Oh no no I never dressed like that for school or anything.  I think it was like an 80s themed school dance.  All the dudes tried dressing up like Duran Duran/Miami Vice.

Also where are Mac & Biz, I need to see those fegs' reactions to BN's clothes.

[TakingBackSunday]

you're not getting any arguments from me, I deserved a good cockpunch or five for that

[Rufus]

If it's any consolation, you at least went for a style, however tragic. I was a simple hoodie and jeans kind of kid. Still am, a lot of the time. Safe, but boring.

Talking about me joining the forum.  lol

OH MY GOD I'm re-reading some of my posts and when I wasn't trying really hard to be offensive it's practically all in-jokes.  They're still funny, too.

[tehjaybo]

why don't you both give each other handies?

Who knows, that might just happen.

No Gambits for me! I am having loads of fun micromanaging the fuck out of Final Fantasy XII.

I refuse to believe you beat FF12 without gambits. Hell, the Cid fight alone is impossible without gambits, because your party members are being attacked simultaneously and you need to insta cure constantly while you chip away. The only way to achieve this is with a healing gambit.

[Mr. Gundam]

Not a single one was used. I chose every single move for my entire party the whole game.

[Himu]

I refuse to believe you. How did you enjoy the game? I tried that and hated the game because of it. How in the world did you beat Cid without gambits? His minions are too fast without gambits.

[bork]

My first post was pretty boring compared to everyone else's.  Video game talk.

Always enjoy wasting time talking about video games.   

A Garou love thread?  I'll drink to that!(Image removed from quote.)

The absolute pinnacle of 2D fighting, and arguably the best game that the resilient jurassic Neo-Geo platform ever had. Even if it gets stale after a few dozen hours, Garou never gets boring no matter how much time you invest into it. It's becoming my most-played title of all time.

I could argue that point, but it really doesn't matter, since when it all boils down to it, Garou is certainly at the top of the list with some other games, but I still have a preference for KOF '98 as the best fighter on the Neo-Geo.  That's just me though, I know.   

You have a variety of characters that beat the living hell out of those found in Street Fighter 3, and the fights are fast, entertaining, and everything moves smoothly. Good music, great sprites even considering that it's a game made on a system with 1989 technology, accessible to newbies while having a combo sytem deep enough for the true fighting games ninjas... the list goes on and on...

Agreed, although Street Fighter III's music (in all three versions) spanks Garou's themes.  I really like Terry, Rock, and The Griffon's BGMs though.  Back in 2000, one thing Neo players used to always say about Garou versus SF3 was that it took Capcom three tries to get it right ("Strike Three!"), and it only took SNK one release.   

No need to hunt down bulky Neo-Geo carts for a couple hundred bucks. Recently I played the Neo-Geo version with a friend and the game is identical, save for the better menus it has and the music. The music has slightly different MIDI instruments than those found in the original Neo version, but it's nothing too different very fortunately.

Not too big on that "arranged" music (it's the same as the DC version), but fortunately the Neo-Geo BGMs are a selectable option, so it's all good!

I rule with Hotaru.

If you're a big Hotaru fan, you'll go nuts for her in Neo-Geo Battle Coliseum and KOF XI, then.  They made her even better, and gave her new stance changes similar to Ling Xiaoyu's in Tekken.   

Now I don't mean to derail this thread, but if you haven't already, you absolutely MUST check out The King Of Fighters XI on the PS2!  It's easily the best KOF since '98, and more over the best fighting game to come out from SNK Playmore.  It's THAT good.  There's also a number of Garou characters present, in addition to older Fatal Fury character who have been brought back.

I made a thread on the game on GAF, and also posted these pics on Neo-Geo.com...you can read impressions here if you don't want to search; the GAF thread got pretty big though!  http://fhgforum.free-forums.org/fhgforum-about89.html

Samurai Spirits Tenkaichi Kenkakuden is also quite awesome, as is Neo-Geo Battle Coliseum, although the latter suffers from some long loading issues.  If you want more Garou action, KOF Maximum Impact 2, coming out Stateside as "KOF 2006," has B. Jenet added in addition to Rock and Wild Wolf (Garou Terry), plus a new parry system (more like Last Blade though).

[shrug] I dunno, I did somehow. I hated the gambit system so much. I wanted a fully turn-based JRPG, so I turned them off and played it just like I played KOTOR. Lots of pausing, choosing everything for my team. And I loved it.

[Himu]

I played FFXII for 50 hours without gambits on wait mode, and I loathed it. Kudos to you for being able to survive and enjoy that game experience. I got to Cid in I think, the dreadnought fight, and his minions would kill my party my in less than 10 seconds because in terms of reflexes you couldn't possibly keep up with them in terms of speed. I said fuck it, turned on gambits, gave every member HP < 50% => CURA or something and won the fight on my first try with that method. Then I was finally able to enjoy FFXII.

Different strokes.

I am playing through MM games lately. I got the MMX Collection for ps2. It's pretty cool.

I'm on X4 now, fighting the final boss with X and it's literally impossible.

My posts now are pretty bad but I was going back and checking out random pages and holy shit, my older posts were fucking terrible.  I blame it on getting 3-4 hours of sleep a night as I was working a job while trying to work on huge senior projects while trying to find a job and an apartment.

I once posted an IRC log of a convo between me and Shake. Wow.

[T-Short]

one of the first non-oneliner ones, from January 23, 2007 (six months after the first post)

1) Are you a GAF mod
2) Do you live in Japan?

1) yes
2) no

also, 10 posts later in that same thread:

Wow holy crap, jarosh is really hot

Newsflash: 36 grand a year is not lucrative.  If you are set on doing unskilled labor in a foreign country, why not Afghanistan?  You can make 200+ grand a year over there for unskilled labor by getting jobs with contractors and at least that way when people are tired of hearing your boring white-person-coming-of-age stories about living overseas, you can show them your Ferarri.
