Is this why Drinky does it?

Check out my post on that page and the subsequent responses. Obviously my troll wasn't anywhere as good as something Drinky could pull off, but the responses were just so funny to me on some weird level that I can't explain. Is this why you do it? Because you know people will lash out irrationally over something so ridiculous and asinine?

GAF is so distinguished mentally-challenged 90% of the time.

Pretty much, yeah.  It's like shooting distinguished mentally-challenged fellows in a barrel- it's so simple yet satisfying.

P.S.  I give that troll a standard "B" grade.

Like I said it wasn't on par with the greats by any stretch, but I'm bored at work and the only games I have are Vagrant Story, Pokemon and PREY so getting over worked GAFfers to flip out is entertaining.

Getting linked to random GA threads is like trying to watch episode 32 of some Gundam series.  I don't know who anyone is, everyone's talking fucking gibberish, and I'm left with a headache.

I'd still be at GAF trolling people if Evilore had control over his massive ego.

i don't "troll" in the sense that i don't believe what i say -- i think the wii is shit, and that most of what gaf likes is indeed overproduced, overhyped crap that demonstrates a pathological need to align with specific umbrella views of the industry rather than display discriminating tastes. knowing this, i just spot a clear issue of group cognitive dissonance, choose my phrasing wisely, and let 'er rip. sometimes i do a little prep work in other threads. it's not so hard!

That's probably what makes you so good. Its never personal and thus you can be more analytical about it.

And yes I still read the GAF Gaming side, mostly for news and announcements but every now and then I can't help but peak at a clusterfuck in progress.

I try to avoid sales threads though, they're pretty redundant now.

I'm a little less subtle when I troll.

You have to be stern in your replies, with just a subtle hint of sarcasm. Dance around them. Give 'em some of that ol' British humour.

Oh, and make sure you don't call the black ones racist. Lord knows what they'll do then.

The Gaming side is awful. Every other thread is about sales or some other stupid shit. Each thread gets like 100 posts of the exact same reply. None of the photoshops are funny. And they slow down the rest of the site.
