I don't know what to think.

I do salute those like Tauntaun that go out in style

What did TT do?

posted a bunch of eb stuff on gaf

[Olivia Wilde Homo]

Like i say, if you really want to hurt gaf, stop going there and advise everyone with any shred of normality to bail out/not join.
The less the regulars post and the quicker the gamefaq overflow continues, the less and less respected the site will become.

GAF has a high volume of discussion over a variety of topics.

If this place doubles in traffic, then I could see myself moving away from GAF for good.

[AdmiralViscen]

Don't leave us T EXP

Also, GAF's volume is made up of hundreds or thousands of self-absorbed 16 year olds ranting about either shit that doesn't merit ranting, or shit they know very little about.

I really don't see what makes Borys' posts so annoying to people, they blend right in with the others to me

Sad, but true. Maybe the lack of extra negativity, which is not always Borys's fault though, may be of some good. That is to say that he only post news as if to mock it. I don't know. Was this always the case?

Did Borys only post game news as if to make sure it gets mocked?

We could set up a blog of some sort on the front page - not that anyone reads that, but we could integrate an RSS feed from that onto the forum so each topic made would appear at the top (where it says NEWS) and if you see something that grabs your eye, you click it

We could nominate people who are active on the internet to update it with shit - music, movies, gossip, random shit, games

Just a thought

Don't you guys realize the irony in what you're trying to do?

The only reason this site exists is that GAF exists. If you succeed in getting people to stop using GAF, no one is going to want to come to a GAF spin-off forum.

That could work.  I'd be down for updating on game stuff.

I guess so, but he made topics where he was legitimately hyped for or enjoying a game.

I don't like lepering in general either tho

That'd be cool. I still use GAF as a news aggregator, reading OPs and stuff. If we had da ill front page then I'd be off GAF completely.

Well, that is fine by me. Everyone who comes here anyway has some sort of cross to carry and is all omgggggg i am baaaaaned ommmggggggg

[demi]

We might not have to set up a blog though. I'll look into some sort of news aggregator I can use. Something like Kotaku, or any other suggestions you can find.

Something like that, Threepwood, but those articles are all so gay. I'm looking for something that's at least interesting.

the thing is we wouldn't want any old pleb coming along - only the ones that would add to the collective by not being a total nonce.

I personally think there is a huge difference between EB and GAF. Whether that difference would remain with a big influx is another question.
Most new joiners take a while to get into the posting trend and the "feel", but once they do everything settles nicely with few hickups.

Yea. This place is busy enough, we don't need to spam EB links at GAF anymore. Targeted invites to people there or at any other forum is the way to go.

The only problem with this place is that everyone (me included) has that month or two post-banning where they keep reading this thread.

PS3 contingent at GAF, which is like most of GAF, is really starting to shake in their boots now.  It's kinda sad people have such a strong attachment to soulless corporations. 

I've actually been enjoying my PS3 the most out of all three consoles recently, thanks to LBP, WipeOut, and MotorStorm 2.  At least I got a good bluray player and decent exclusives out of it, so far.

fucking moron. someone give him some real data to see how he interprets it.



reggie.

looks like a room out of 1996. if it wasn't for reggie, the GH guitars and the PS3 I'd think it was. Look at the speaker setup on for a tiny 4:3 TV

He registered a domain to host his shitty graphs using widely available data, then makes overly-long forum posts and calls it analysis.  You tell evilore that nuking all Nintendo fan accounts is what GAF needs.  Redirect them to some Speak and Spell forum.

[Kestastrophe]

Regarding the Borys comment:

He's not completely bad, I just was getting tired of the sheer number and shittiness of his threads. It seemed like he made more threads than anyone else, about worse topics than everyone else, and lower quality than most threads. I still think he's a good guy and I hope he doesn't leave this forum, just cool down with the schtick.

COME BACK BORYS  :'(

I'm pretty sure PantherLotus would refer to himself in the third person.  He's an important guy to some teenagers on an internet message board.  I wonder if he realizes that if he were to go away, nobody would give a fuck.

Hopefully that Reggie picture was a homage to Gahiggidy's set up.  Picture or not, that is what a setup done by a mid-late 20s virgin looks like.

[dammitmattt]

PantherLotus may seem like a sad recluse but he seems to be content with what he's got. Happy recluse > Bitter recluse.
That Reggie picture 

There needs to be some kind of showdown between the saddest Microsoft, Sony, and Nintendo fans.  I'd pay for that PPV.

Everyone should just abandon the HD consoles and their 25+ million customers and make shitty Wii mini-game collections.  Only then would the nfags be happy.

Another question - how many shooters outside of Red Steel have done well on the Wii?  And more importantly, how many mature-rated online shooters have done well on the Wii?

[Olivia Wilde Homo]

Eh, Nintards believe that anything will sell better on their console but they don't know that for sure.  Its how a game like Klonoa sells less than 6,000 copies its first week, the worst opening week of the series but how a game in the US like Party Games sells a few hundred thousand copies.  If Haze, had it turned out to be a good game, were on the Wii, it would be the worst selling version.  Unless Nintards think that minigame collections are the future.  If they are the future, I give up on gaming.

[Don Flamenco]

wtf, that guy has $1000s upon $1000s invested in games, including the current gen consoles, but has two TVs from like 1985.  smh.  and yeah, wow at the reggie pic and nerf guns.

[Olivia Wilde Homo]

Most Nintendo fans just care about sales these days, not games.  There is a reason why chart whores like JoshuaJSlone and PantherLotus are Nintards.  That or they are list whores like jarrod that spend more time compiling lists than playing those games on that said list.  The biggest Nintendo fans, you almost never hear them talking about playing games because they prefer to play sales chart wars instead.

They may have liked what Free Radical did (doubt it) but the main reason is that they were disappointed that Haze Wii couldn't be compared to the PS3 version or be on one of the many lists when people like Drinky Crow suggest the Wii has little worth playing.  They don't know or care what Free Radical did except for the numbers on some chart.

Well, to argue jarrod's case, he's a very big fan of oldskool ARPGs and there's not a hell of a lot of them coming out nowadays, so that probably gives him enough time to make the list. jarrod is more of a retro gaming fan than a strictly Ninty fan, as well. From what I remember, he LOVES his Saturn, and is a big fan of Landstalker... you really think a straight-up Nintendo fan would give props to SEGA?

[Olivia Wilde Homo]

Now that Sega has been conquered and arguably pillaged and raped, yes.

I'm hearing this song quite a lot in England, I've grown to like it.

[dammitmattt]

Sonic joined the Nintendo fanboy team immediately after being on the cover of Nintendo Power.  Now they try to pretend that shit like Mario and Sonic at the Olympics and shitty Sonic Wii game X are actually good.

It's sickening as someone in prime middle school age during the great SNES/Genesis war.

someone else, on GAF, asked that. Its a band I think. I'll have to go try and find the post.

No, SA does what it wants. There are tons of crazy photoshop threads

[Himu]

Fuck GAF, I'm going to pay the $9.95 to register for SA. 

SA is great for lurking. On a boring day I'll just fire up something awful and be in stitches for hours. But the community is way too big for me, personally. Entire forums have their own communities, and within those communities entire threads have their own communities. Imagine sports gaf times infinity, but almost every thread has its own special club. That's SA in a nutshell, particularly in the gaming side. The smaller communities like BYOB and FYAD are the bees knees though.

I've always wondered about SA's content, is it really that graphic and NSFW?

Depends on what thread, and what forum.

People do that all the time, including here on EB. How many people wish for companies (such as Nintendo) to go down all the time? (not that I'm agreeing with bluemercury, mind you. but this mentality exists everywhere)
