Gayest shit I ever heard...

fistfull has the worst taste in women. That shit is borderline pedo, considering the pre-pubescent nature of most of the chicks he likes

Hey PD you'll probably know where I can find that song right? Seeing as you're into hiphop as well..

Isn't it from Don't Be a Menace to South Central While Drinking Your Juice in the Hood?

I dunno if it's on an album, or whether the movie has a soundtrack. Limewire/torrents will probably have it

Yup it is.. Too bad both Limewire/torrents have let me down :(

That pic ruins it. That guy is an actor, usually an extra. He was in an episode of Entourage, and is always on Chuck.

edit: Here you go. He annoys the shit out of me for some reason.

Hey Arnold forever ruined to me now :( I loved that show

Meanwhile I'm finally reading FML, and i dont care if it's fake I love it

Quote
Today, I was on the internet with my Dad looking up information about allergies. I began to type 'allergies' into the Google Search Box and as I typed 'a', the phrase 'amazing sex positions' popped up as a search I had already looked up. My Dad asked me if any of the positions worked out. FML

Quote
Today, I was walking my son to school. After yelling at him for not looking where he's walking, I grabbed his hand and pulled him closer to me. Not paying attention, I walked him right into a light pole. FML

Quote
Today, I met a guy who said he thinks he's in love with my sister. As a joke, I told him that my sister cheats on everyone. I get home to find my sister crying, because some 'person' told her boyfriend that she's cheating on him. FML

Quote
Today, on the crowded train, a cute guy called me over and told me to stand next to him because there were less people there. We started talking, but he left before I could get his number. Just when I was about to tell my friends about it, I find out that he stole my phone. FML

Today, my mother and I got into a huge fight about me being a lesbian. It ended with me saying "Fuck you!" to which she responded: "I bet you'd probably like to." FML


Today, I heard my sister masturbating in her room. I took the dog around the block to get out of the house, and I came back to see her exiting her room....my electric tothbrush in her hand. FML

If anyone doesn't think that guy is a viral i feel bad for them :-\

I can see Metal Gear Solid 4, because the fan base is crazy, but Resistance 2 and Killzone 2?  No one actully give a shit about them.

He was caught with his pantaloons down a while back.

He works for a viral marketing company, but he's not a viral marketer! He's doing this just for fun!

All his pictures are hosted on the marketing company's web site, but he's not a viral marketer! He's just an amateur who loves games who happens to work at a viral marketing firm that lets him host all the pictures for his forum posts!

And, for a guy who's certainly not a viral marketer, he's way too defensive. He sent me a few nasty PMs when I pointed out that what he was doing was more conducive to an ad campaign than a message board that promotes open discussion of video games.

That's a much better official thread than the previous ones. Could have been trimmed down to about half without losing much, but still... much more air in it.

You guys have spat so much paranoid foam about yourselves that you've forgotten the basic concepts of viral marketing. If this is paid marketing, which I see no evidence of it being, it's not fucking viral. And that fucking "firm" he is working for is little more than a freelance firm, if the "jobs" are anything to go by.

It's not paranoid. What he's doing is advertising, plain and simple. There's no two ways about it. He might not be a paid shill, but he is a shill.

And it won't be long before some game company decides to throw Old Bruce a few bucks to do an official thread for its hot new game.

Are you a moderator at GAF? If so, I liked your site when it actively encouraged discussion and not the mindless spooging over games you see in certain "official" threads.

So, sites that enthusiasts/hobbyists create to talk about their favorite hobbies, and sometimes specific products for those hobbies, that's then advertising too? Blogs dedicated to special interests, also advertising? Where exactly is the line drawn? This is his thing, creating these official threads. People apparently like for him to do it, and obviously he likes to use his expertise to do them.  I'm not seeing the advertising bit. Is it the length of it, or the amount of work put into it?

And no, I'm most certainly not a moderator at GAF. We have a few of those here, though.

If you can't see the huge gap between an official thread done by someone who's just a fan of a game and one of Bruce Leroy's over-the-top hypefests, well, we probably don't have much to discuss.

Nice try, though.

Hey, I'd pay Bruce to be excited about any video game I made.



That's a much better official thread than the previous ones. Could have been trimmed down to about half without losing much, but still... much more air in it.

He works for a viral marketing company, but he's not a viral marketer! He's doing this just for fun!

All his pictures are hosted on the marketing company's web site, but he's not a viral marketer! He's just an amateur who loves games who happens to work at a viral marketing firm that lets him host all the pictures for his forum posts!

You guys have spat so much paranoid foam about yourselves that you've forgotten the basic concepts of viral marketing. If this is paid marketing, which I see no evidence of it being, it's not fucking viral. And that fucking "firm" he is working for is little more than a freelance firm, if the "jobs" are anything to go by.

It's not paranoid. What he's doing is advertising, plain and simple. There's no two ways about it. He might not be a paid shill, but he is a shill.

And it won't be long before some game company decides to throw Old Bruce a few bucks to do an official thread for its hot new game.

Are you a moderator at GAF? If so, I liked your site when it actively encouraged discussion and not the mindless spooging over games you see in certain "official" threads.

So, sites that enthusiasts/hobbyists create to talk about their favorite hobbies, and sometimes specific products for those hobbies, that's then advertising too? Blogs dedicated to special interests, also advertising? Where exactly is the line drawn? This is his thing, creating these official threads. People apparently like for him to do it, and obviously he likes to use his expertise to do them.  I'm not seeing the advertising bit. Is it the length of it, or the amount of work put into it?

And no, I'm most certainly not a moderator at GAF. We have a few of those here, though.
